When will UBE be finished?

Until I release UBE Version 1.0.0 , this mod is in a Work in Progress [WIP] state.
Features may be added, removed, changed during the mods development, It is a careful balance between figuring out what works and what doesn't.
When is Release?
Hopefully, shortly (a few months) after Uboats final release. However, this does not mean that there wont be new "Expanded" Mods or new integration following release.

Super hyped to play 1.0 with all your mods link! With all the awesome improvements to the base game, the addition of UBE and all the ship and plane mods will really turn this game into the definitive WWII Subsim!

so how much did their latest update f*ck this thing up? i was excited for the update, but the mods still feel way more important to me than uboat variety

I started a new game. I will send a report when it occurs again

There is one bug in the vanilla game with warship Spawners, where the group of ships will be spawned but then later can never return to Port because the port ownership changed or navigation is no longer possible.

The sandbox.xlsx/spawners table.

Did you submit a Ube bug report (URL above) with your output log& Save file?
ARTX 22 May @ 12:00am 
Or is there any setting in the mod files that will reduce this?
ARTX 21 May @ 11:59pm 
The mod that makes the ships so much, which one ? if I disable it, is the problem solved ? Has a lot of things been losed from the ube?
ARTX 21 May @ 8:36pm 
I'm at the beginning of the game, somewhere between September 20, 1939 and October, while I was going to support the French invasion, I suddenly started to receive a lot of reports on the English coast, and I think the problem is that There are a lot of warship convoys forming around me, there are a lot of warships, each with 2-5 warships, I really like this mode. I like it. Is there a way to fix this? I want to fix the sonar problem and the fact that there are so many ships, because there are so many of them that when I want to speed up the game, the game slows down.

In regards to any class that utilize a custom ship models from the ship bundle, the same thing would occur. With a new class inherits the equipment data from the original model

At some point in time if this mod survives release which is questionable a best

I will write in the custom equipment data for all of the classes, however at this time is not feasible for me to do so
link  [author] 21 May @ 2:25pm 
Currently the The ship classes in Ube mostly inherit the equipment data from the class they are copied from. Which in some cases can cause a class of ship which shouldn't have a specific type of equipment to be equipped with it

I have not had the time to go through the 600 or so warship classes and identify all of the appropriate equipment for each

As far as there being too many war ships around Britain can you specify a Time location or provide a save file in a bug report so that I can look into it?
