(1.10.7) SS Barnsley 1874 (Sinkable)

(Fictional)
Rudders on both sides, four paddlewheels and a SWINGING SALOON?! Although this may look like the French are at it again with their aesthetically criminal ironclads, this extremely weird looking steamer was actually an experimental cross-channel passenger ferry. It had a central saloon that could rotate independently from ship and keep level to be able to combat seasickness. The Barnsley was also designed to be bidirectional, having a rudder on both the bow and, well... the other bow, and had four paddlewheels for propulsion. Did this freak of a paddle steamer actually work to cure seasickness? Well, umm...


Top speed: 15 Knots
Length: 56.25 Meters
Width (with paddleboxes): 14.25 Meters
Height: 19ish Meters


-Accommodations for:
8 firemen
2 officers
Seating for 20 passengers (or 36 including the dining table)
-2 twin firebox boilers
-2 oscillating cylinder engines
-4 paddlewheels
-2 independent rudders and helms
-4 bilge pumps
-2 steam whistles
-4 anchors
-4 hand crank powered lifeboats
-2 bells
-2 compass binnacles
-4 heaters
-various equipment storages throughout the ship
-4 waterclosets
-1 main galley and 1 crew galley
-1 bath
-1 central swinging saloon, able to rotate independently from the ship
-1 control panel in each engine room with a switch to lock the saloon in neutral position, and an inclinometer
-Exterior lights, main interior lights, and navigation lights switches at each helm
-2 sink switches
-Full interior


1: Head down to the engine room, turn the damper on the boiler all the way up
2: Light the boiler
3: Repeat in the other engine room
4: Once steam pressure is up, you should be good to go
-There's toggleable autocoalers for each boiler
-Having the firebox doors open or closed doesn't change anything. Having them open or closed is entirely preference


The sink switches are located in the Captain's Cabin, in the "Crew Compartment"

1: Water finds its way into the ship (pretend it's grounded on a rock or something), goes down by the head with a heavy port list.
2: Three large explosions occur on the starboard side of the ship (pesky U-boats???), the ship quickly sinks and nearly capsizes to starboard.

The engine room skylights are made to let water through them, so cranking up the waves should naturally sink the ship if they're washing over the decks.

Leaving the boilers running is recommended for a more explodey experience


-Although I fixed it as best I could, the saloon can still occasionally get jammed. I added buttons on the side of the staircases to get on top of the saloon to get it unstuck, as well as keybinds on both helms. They work by using connectors to wrench the saloon to a different position to free it. I'm not sure this problem happens with high physics setting, as I did most of my testing in low physics setting and by the time I got the last version made, the ship was already too laggy for my relatively weak computer to run it at a good frame rate.

-The main lights switches at the different helms are designed to turn each other off if one is already on. For example, if you have the navigation lights on at helm A and then turn the navigation lights on at helm B, the helm B lights will automatically turn off the helm A lights, so you don't have to run back and forth turning on and off light switches.

-Being a paddle steamer, and especially one with four paddlewheels, the ships behavior in rough seas can be... odd. This is coupled with the fact that I intentionally made the stabilizers very weak so that the ship can roll side to side more and replicate the instability of its real-life counterpart. The ship can handle about 70-75% maximum wind. Anything higher and the ship starts to have a really bad time.


-Can be run on low physics setting
