(1.10.8) Paddle tug Cambridge 1866 (Sinkable)

(Fictional)
Paddling around in ports, rivers, open seas, and wherever else a tugboat is needed, the Cambridge, a seagoing paddlewheel tugboat built in the 1860's, towed around anything from barges to broken-down ocean liners. With its large size, massive coal bunkers, and immense power, it was the ideal choice for anything requiring towing around across oceans and anywhere else far away. It did however, have a rather high coal consumption due to its somewhat unusual choice of boiler design. It helped to pick up survivors from the sinking PS [REDACTED] in the river Thames in the late 1890's, but would herself sink only a few months later after striking an uncharted rock while in heavy fog.


Top speed: 13 Knots
Length: 40 Meters
Width: 10.75 Meters
Height: 17 Meters
(Actual size in the workbench is significantly larger due to voxels)


-1 Large winch and 2 rope anchors for towing
-2 Sink Switches
-2 Side Lever Engines
-3 Boilers
-2 Bilge pumps
-Accommodations for:
2 Officers
6 Crew
-1 Anchor
-1 Steam whistle
-1 Bell
-1 Tiny Lifeboat (unpowered)
-2 Waterclosets
-1 Small galley
-Lots of handheld equipment
-Simulated Helm
-Compass
-Full interior


1: Turn the damper all the way up
2: Light boiler
3: Turn on the water injector
4: Repeat on all 3 boilers
5: Once steam pressure is up, you should be good to go


The sink switches are located in the Captains cabin in the deckhouse, as a keypad on the table.
1: A hole opens up in the keel and the ship goes down by the bow.
2: The ship goes down by the stern.
The boilers are set to explode with both sink switches, but requires weapons enabled to work. (the actual main sinking doesn't)
Stopping the boat when activating the switches is highly recommended.


-Paddle steamers typically don't like waves very much, so it rocks violently a lot in relatively calm waters.
-It pretty much can't handle maximum waves at all.
-Speed is directly linked to steam pressure, so the higher the pressure, the faster you'll go.
-You are able to steer the boat using the engines (turning the paddles in opposite directions) using the left and right arrow keys.
-Can be run on low physics setting.
