Steam Launch "Avocet"

Description
This is the SL Avocet. Steam launches are supposed to be pretty small, but due to the large size and weight of the new steam components, she had to be way oversized. Anyways, this is my first attempt at making anything using the new steam components. As such, it isn’t perfect by any means, so please don’t be too harsh on it:P

There isn’t any special procedure for operating this. Just press the “Light Boiler” button above the firebox, and the boat will manage everything else. Once the boiler builds up enough pressure, head to the helm, throttle up, and off you go!

Specifications
Length: 26 m (85 ft)
Beam (Width): 4.25 m (14 ft)
Draft (Depth): 1.5 m (5 ft)
Total Height: 9 m (30 ft)
Top Speed: 43 kts (79.6 kph / 49.5 mph)
Range: Very far (probably)

Fuel Capacity: 818 (Coal)
Powerplant: 5 Turbines (1 Boiler, 1 Large Firebox)
Mass: 12,523.74
Cost: $55,063

It's good to see it fixed (Ish?)

I do Deeply love this boat because it's one of the first Creations I fell in love with

@Watsen1 Yeah, it was broken. The Space DLC changed the way steam components work, so I went ahead and fixed this boat. I'm still not 100% satisfied with it, but at least it kind of works for the time being.

Hey, is this broken? Because the propeller rps doesn't go up at all, if it is then thats a shame, its a really nice looking steam boat

@Potater_King Nice! you most likely have more knowledge then me with steam in this game. What I am trying to do is get 45 knots out of a hull that is a bit bigger then your launch. I can send you a chat request and go from there if your okey with that. Or we can chat here.

@MR_PUNK! Hi, glad to know you like my steam launch! Admittedly, I'm not particularly good with the steam components, but I would be more than happy to help you build your own ship.

@Potater_King I am quite new to Stormworks and I have Fallen in love with your steam Launch here. Fast little thing too!. Anyhow, With me being new to the game do you think you could help me with a steamship build of my own? I'm having a problem with keeping the ship moving forward. once it starts moving, it goes for a little bit and then it slows to less then a knot. I got the game on the 28th of this month and have already logged over 30 hours. plz let me know something when you can. I wanna know how to work with things in Stormworks and don't quite know just yet. Thank you!

@Potater_King No problem!

@winkysmith Just looked into it, it was just a matter of agreeing to the latest version of the Steam Subscriber Agreement. It should be accessible now, thanks for letting me know!
