You can make incremental changes to wall length by holding shift when you drag that small little box that appears on their ends.
Great to know, thanks!
Any man capable of learning how to design a submarine in this game is capable of learning how to design a submarine IRL
Ey this guy actually really helped and I made a slave transporter for me and my friends

Seems like you still read these, so I'll take this chance to thank you. This is still the most comprehensive guide, and one of the only guides, to sub building out there, and it likely has contributed to this community more than anything else. 2 years ago, I first watched this tutorial. Since then, I've made 7 subs. For the first few times, I came back here to refresh my memory. Now, however, I'm perfectly capable of building just about anything I can think of. I would have never gotten to this point without these videos, though, so on behalf of everybody who started their journey into building subs here, thanks for the help.
That means a lot to me, thank you!!! I'm really happy I was able to have such an influence!
Meanwhile I just needed to watch a tiny bit of the video to find out what the walls were named, and easily made my sub with no help and just my game experience. 😂
@@lonejohnwolf Wow! That's just an incredible story not even an ounce of brag.
@@Torth121 Thanks.
Spitting straight facts
Two years ago and this guide is still the most helpful one I can find on the internet, thanks!
Now I just need to figure out how to wire it all together lol
@@SummerTSD wiring ☕
Almost 3 years late, but it holds up good and it's fun to watch, thank you!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
@@n_tropyim 2 years late,but your guide still is the most comprehensible one on youtube,thanks for creating this!
I also copy, “save as assembly” and paste other features from the prefab subs, adding those features to my sub..ie: attached shuttle/escape pod, depth charges, fire alarm 🚨, flood alarm, indicator lights and read outs on backup batt, shuttle batt 🔋 on the bridge.
Remember, if you make changes to your sub, add rooms/hulls, doors/hatches, reset AI waypoints every time before you launch campaign or your bots will be walking into doors.
Yeah this tutorial hands down is best tutorial available that I’ve seen. A+
There aren’t really any good tutorials so this actually really helped. Thanks!
Great guide! Can confirm for Feb 2022, entire guide still works perfectly even if many sprites and character mode changed, functionality remained. Managed to make my first sub from scratch.
Congratulations on being featured on the blog post
Thanks! It was really cool of them to do that!
you can make weird shaped rooms by making multiple hulls inside to fit the shape and then linking them with space click
I'm so glad someone said that, I don't know why he didn't know about that seeing as he made an entire guide with multiple videos about it. I just knew it was a thing because I looked at what the editor's options had and used my epic learning skills to completely dominate the sub editor. 😂
Do you have to link all the hulls with each other in the same room or just link all hulls to 1 hull? I realy need that for my half done sub
@@szymonzuberycki7525 I believe all to all but I'm not sure. Try both.
@@lonejohnwolf What's your problem ego maniac? I seen a couple of your comments and all you are is an inflated ego, get lost.
8:52 'FUK!'
Nice tutorial thanks
Hadn't even noticed...the people in my hall can be a bit rowdy xD
Protip for new Baro editors:
*It's generally not good practice to start with your shell.* Block out your rooms first with their core amenities, creating a mock-up of the sub's layout, before deciding on a final configuration/arranagement.
The shell is just the cherry on top to wrap it up.
@@baitposter I absolutely agree with this. If you don't already have a design in mind, rough out the interior systems and fit the shell to them so you don't end up sacrificing anything later on to "make it work".
You can also link fabricators/deconstructors and storage units when they’re side by side.
Pretty handy stuff for when you’ve got a mechanic doing a lot of crafting.
Great tip, thanks!
Thanks so much for making this, you've earned a sub
nice pun
Can I earn a sub too? I wanna earn a sub that's compact, has everything you can possibly need if you play alone, and nothing more. Or maybe I'll just sub myself...
lol
A+ tutorial, I built this sub but bigger with more capability. Couldn't have done it without your help.
This was so helpful, wanted to build a sub myself that has exactly what I want but had no idea what to do, only so much you can learn from looking at others finished builds
I just wanna give the Orca some lower guns but apparently that can't be simple so I have to thank you for making this because this is much better.
This guide is such a great help. Just started getting into ship building and thought it was impossible before. Lots of stuff have changed in the 3-4 years since you’ve posted so it’s be awesome to see a remake with any new features that were added that may be helpful for builders today!
Yeah, I saw this through the post as well, thank you for making this!
i love that this is the only man who has ever made a barotrauma submarine tutorial
Not the only one! I'm grateful that people keep enjoying it though!
@@n_tropy well its the best one
Yo, this video is ancient but it's still the best guide I've found for this yet. Thank you!
Just came across this.
What a help thanks dude
i think i've heard a faint "fuck!" in the background at 8:54 xD
great tutorial btw!
Glad you liked it! This was recorded when I was still living in a dorm, lol
This has been so helpful, I'm designing a ship that looks like a human heart, this is great!
That sounds awesome! Definitely link it when you're done!
This was super helpful and i just wanna thank you
Bless you for these tutorials, helped out so much
New to Barotrauma, this has been really helpful, thankyou!
Great video man...this really helped me make sense of a few things i was confused about, thank you
Holy shit you can actually make something with this, you are a godsend.
You are the man! Thanks for this tutorial
Top. You are a hero. Thanks for this tutorial. Saves a lot of time.
Fantastic tutorial! Looking forward to making my own custom phallic subs :)
This helped me so much, thank you!
the most useful on youtube
Will make the game a lot more interesting being able to make my own subs correctly.
love the hal 9000 logo
thanks a lot. This is a very nice tutorial for beginners like me.
I have weird lighting glitches on my submarines shell. When I’m outside the submarine I can see into the rooms in the inside a little bit. The inside also casts shadows in ways it shouldn’t.
This can happen when walls/shells aren't overlapping enough to interrupt lighting. Try adjusting your overlaps until the bleeding disappears.
The indoor lighting thing is some kind of bug, try moving your lights around a bit and pray
Does the shape actually matter? Can I just make a rectangle ship and expect it to move the same as a smooth sided ship?
I've made some ridiculous shapes and they're workable, if hard to navigate. The only real functional issue with a weird ship is navigating through the terrain; sometimes it generates in a way that isn't kind to bulky ships. I don't think you can ever get stuck, but it can definitely get hard.
thank you sooooo much for this!
GREAT TUTORIAL!!!! However, I don't see where to go into "character mode" ....my interface is slightly different.
In the new update, character mode was "removed". You should be able to do everything I did in character mode from the default view.
@@n_tropy yes, by pressing and holding shift while left clicking you can place things in cabinets and such.
24:35 "Hide the fact that there's no actual nose to the submarine"
Don't you mean "add an actual nose to the submarine"?
Technically the piece we're adding there isn't structural, as far as the game is concerned it counts as a decorative piece.
where is the master class???
The one from the devs? Here: th-cam.com/video/VAL8jhA8N6U/w-d-xo.html
i love your voice
Are there any strick shapes of the submarine I should follow or I can build anything like a sphere or pyramid?
As far as I'm aware you can build just about anything you want. The map is designed to generate based on the sub you load in, but it might struggle making gaps large enough for weird shapes. You are also of course limited by the prefab shell shapes.
@@n_tropy Nice
tysm for this, geuinly so helpfull :3
Super happy I could help!
Thank you kind man
I wanna ask something, If you overlap your shell, would that increase your outer shell strength or will it just weigh you down?
Neither, it won't do anything. Overlapping the shell is necessary to make certain shapes look smooth.
@@n_tropy I see, thank you for answering :D
thank you!
Appreciate you
I think I missed what part you go into how you wire up the docking, I don’t have the UI on the helm. Help?!
The editor has had an overhaul since I posted this video series. What part of the UI are you missing?
Oroe Gaming I loaded another sub and figured it out, just had to link both AND Gates to the helm not just the docking port
@@Vman680 Gotcha, glad you got it figured out!
this video is great, could you do a tutorial on how to create a character next?
I'm not entirely sure how to use that editor to be honest.
Could I put the airlock up near the docking hatch? Makes it a little easier for the crew so there is one entrance and exit and so there can be a slightly larger room below to utilise as something else.
@@galaxycraft0075 Absolutely! Not sure what the state of the game is these days but back when I made this two of the built-in subs had top airlocks!
@@n_tropyThank you. Good to see you're still responding to people even 4 years later. By the way, how do I go into player mode? There's a test button but it keeps on telling me I need to have hulls.
@@galaxycraft0075 There is a hull "object" in the game that is used to delineate indoor areas. I believe they are covered in part 2!
@@n_tropyPerfect. Hopefully I can get to that part soon
I use to know how to build a sub in the old free one but the new equipment and wiring got me confused.
Wish for a 2023 1.0 update!
8:54 Anyone else hear it haha
Hope that guy at 8:54 is ok.
hero
gonna be using these videos to build mine, though I will be making some drastic alterations from what the devs showed. No reason to make a sub without redundancies and with a weak CIC.
The guy cussing at 8:54 tho
Ah, roommates...
Oroe Gaming hey man these tutorials were really helpful but could you give me some pointers on shuttle construction? Do they have to be there own save file and then added in?
@@Literaturenjoyerman They do need a separate savefile. I haven't actually done a lotq with them yet, I've got some time these next couple weeks that I can hopefully use to learn shuttles
Oroe Gaming can’t wait for the tutorial video on drones!
well i now wach your vidios every sub i make to know when everything is done. at some point could you show how to build a scuttle ship and link it. ive been trying and i cant figure it out.
how is this gui better than what we have now?
I can’t find the player view thingy because you are in a different version of the game, would you happen to know where it’s at in the newest version?
Player view actually no longer exists; it's the default mode now. You can interact with containers normally to fill them.
@@n_tropy awesome, thanks mate
How to make the shell of the submarine indestructible? I got a bit annoyed every time when there is a leak in the sub.
Not sure there is a way to make it indestructible; patching leaks is part of the game :)
at the end u said water wont flow between hulls without a gap so im trying to use that to make a moonpool and its not working
That's not a concept I'm familiar with to be honest (at least in the context of Baro). A "gap" in the shell behaves differently than a "gap" entity between hulls; once the shell has been breached water will start filling the nearest hull. This is why the sub still floods despite us not placing "gaps" along the shell.
can you put 2 reactor in these ?
can you put a reactor in a shuttle ?
You could, but you'd have to either keep 2 separate grids or tweak the voltages to keep everything from breaking
@@n_tropy i just wonder because i never seen a shuttle with its own reactor would be fun to make a shuttle on sub with its own reactor xD
Thanks those tutorial are helping me
8:53 "FUCK!!"
Filmed back when I still lived in a dorm lol
you know where do i make a human charactor i was already too annoyed to edited something
There's a built-in character editor in game that will let you make human characters. I don't personally know how to use it, so I can't give you much direction other than that.
am i the only one who wonders why the man at background yelled F*CK at 08:53 LOL
I dont see the character mode, did they remove it? I understand this is a little old now
As near as I can tell, there is no more character mode. To place an item inside a container, press 'E' on the container to open it's inventory, click the item you want from the spawn menu at the bottom, then directly drop it into the container.
@@n_tropy Ah thank you
"first you need to place a custum door" custom door:doesnt excist
Hi! Sorry I didn't see this sooner. If you search "Custom Door" in the items Filter, you should see a blank door with no buttons or controls. I use these as placeholders when determining the layout of a sub. Hope that helps!
Can you use the shuttle pieces in the sub? such as Shutter external walls?
As far as I know, yes.
I like the tutorial but I have a slight problem. You are using an older version, so I can't find the "character mode" feature anywhere!
Yep, the tutorial is a bit old. When I made the video, I was on the latest version. Character mode has been removed in the latest editor. To open an object's inventory, just press 'E' on it.
Thank you so much! This helps alot.
@@n_tropy But I also have a question. Could you do a tutorial on the character editor?
@@WormOfEarth I'm not very familiar with the character editor, but it's on a list of possibilities for the future. Things are kind of hectic right now with work and classes so I can't make any guarantees.
Okay. Just was asking, not forcing you to make a tutorial on it. Not everyone knows everything in a game.
so you dont need a shell at the nose of the sub?
Nope, since we cover it with a nose cone it's not an aesthetic issue and since there's no hull nearby we don't need the shell's collision
is there a button to more precisely rotate the ship peices other than mirroring the x and y
I don't believe so
@@n_tropy ok thanks anyway I solved the problem
@@jacobstewart9950 Glad to hear it!
Hello there. You helped me a lot but i have a little problems... You Connectet the Statusmonitor White the na Terminal but when i so that there only Shows Up an Green Line but i cant See the Statusmonitor in the navtermial... Oh and can you please make an ohter Video? I have No idead how to ad the Kastrull Drone as an Drone in an ohter U-boat... Please Help me.
Hello! To see the statusmonitor on the same screen as the nav terminal, you'll need to link them. Select either one, hold down spacebar, and select the other. This will link them to the same display. As for drones, I don't yet know enough about them for a full video, but I'm learning!
Thanks for the informations but that what you Telled me was Not the sollution... There ist the Button Display Side by Side when linked and that Button was Not active... I found the sollution by my self and for the drone i really Hope for an Video but at the Moment i Just copyed all the Stuff what has an wire Whit the drone. (Eine Info for you: If you Set the min. Vorlage and the Power Consulting of 0.0 you sonst need Power from the Reaktor for Them (usefull for weapons or Lights))
@@n_tropy oh and by the way i build your Automatic door IT works... But only in one way... The Doors dont Close again and Monsters can Walk trough...
@@inflitor Unfortunately, monsters will always be able to walk through the door since it runs on a motion detector. That's definitely a trade-off for the convenience. As for the door not closing, double-check the part of the circuit that includes the delay component
@@inflitor Thanks for the tip, glad you got it figured out!
Okay I'm only 12 min through the video but what you going to do if there's a hull breach in the areas that you sectioned off near the engine room?
Any areas that are completely sectioned off for geometric purposes won't receive Hull objects later on, so they can't breach.
@@n_tropy thanks
I only had to watch a bit over the first 2 minutes and was able to completely create my entire sub, only missing the lighting I think now. I did however have over 500 hours of experience in the game beforehand...
8:54 "Fuck!"
My dormmates can be loud 😝
isthere multiplayer ship editor me and my friend really want to build one together
I don't believe so, but you should be able to share the files with each other. There might also be a mod for that, but I'm not sure.
Link to the masterclass?
th-cam.com/video/VAL8jhA8N6U/w-d-xo.html
16:46 THAT DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT! What the heck?!?!? How are you able to flip it like that with multiple items?? If it worked like that for ME holy cow I would have so much of an easier time! Whenever I try to flip items when I have multiple items selected, it just flips each individual item as if it wasn't selected as one item!
8:52 - FUCK!
Side effect of Coronavirus: no more floormates randomly yelling "FUCK"
How do you enable character mode? Haven't been able to find it.
It's definitely different now!
@@Pownurvids Yep! As near as I can tell, there is no more character mode. To place an item inside a container, press 'E' on the container to open it's inventory, click the item you want from the spawn menu at the bottom, then directly drop it into the container.
@@n_tropy Thank you!
Is having another deck layer beneath the outer shell give additional penetration protection?
I don't actually know, I'd experiment with it. Maybe layered shells act like bulkheads.
@@n_tropy Been trying out those circuits logic and actually the system is blowing my minds~ its crazy how complicated the game can be if really wanna getting in-depth with it~autonomous submarine is pain in the xxx
@@silentserge89 Oh definitely. There's some tutorials floating around for PID controllers for automated reactor control. Crazy stuff.
Is this how the titan sub was designed?
Couldn't tell ya!
They forgot to make the reactor run better
Hi, wich mod is that reactor? I can't find...
No mods were used to make this tutorial, it's just getting old compared to the game. The texture have been reworked since I uploaded.
@@n_tropy Oh I see... What a pity, this reactor now is a shipwreck reactor broken, I wish I could use it =(. Thought that was a mod to use the broken one... Thanks for reply
Wish I could just draw a ship or a monster and someone can just edit it for me lol
It's definitely an intimidating learning curve, but you'll get the hang of it!
@@n_tropy thanks I'm starting to, I'm really excited to finish my first ship
@@n_tropy do you think you can do a good monster tutorial next? I cant find any good ones on TH-cam, and I'd really love to start making my own creatures.
@@Crowwtf Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of experience with the character/creature editor. It is one of the most requested topics on this series, so it's on my radar but I can't make any promises as I'm typically busy with school and work. I do hope to eventually make a video on it, even if I don't know when it'll be.
8:54 who yelled the f word in background lol
HOW DO YOU COPY PASTE things?
Sorry I didn't see this! You select the item or items you want to copy, then hit ctrl+C to copy and ctrl+V to paste. Sometimes you have to hit it a couple times before it takes.
I've also had problems with this, multiple tapping solved the issue :)
@@SweetyHeaven Yeah, I've noticed that it has trouble a lot of the time. It's become muscle memory to just hit it 2-3 times
to be completely honest the most tedious and bothersome part of the whole build isnt the wiring or the connecting or anything else of the sort its just getting the shell to not be gross and have sharp curves on top of the fact some of the pieces love not clipping properly.
Infuriating, wish i could just click and drag and then add bend points or something.
100% agree
How do you delete
To delete any item from your view, just select it and press "Delete" on your keyboard.
@@n_tropy no freakin way! I actually never would've guessed. I had been looking for a tutorial to tell me how. can you also tell me how to rotate things like guns? Edit: NVM just got to that part of the tutorial.
Second Edit: CTRL M doesn't work for rotating
Edit 3: ok I didnt place it first. Lol
How do you adjust pieces?
In what way? Mirror is Ctrl+M/N, you can click and drag to translate components or use the arrow keys.
i need know how i put the character mod,pls!
I don't use any mods for the game. If you mean character model locations, they are set via spawnpoints which are covered later in the tutorial.
@@n_tropy thanks!
8:53
The joys of dorm life
Need subs that can handle multiple strikes from the most dangerous creatures.
Makes an inappropriate looking sub.
is this info still current?
It's definitely getting old, but a lot of the basics still apply and the core systems haven't changed enough to make it too out of date to be useful!
@@n_tropy thx!
