This restriction only applies to singleplayer campaign, where the starting sub is restricted to allow the campaign to play out like it is intended. In every other game mode, you are free to choose your submarine!

Hi! Sorry for the trouble. We're pretty sure the problem isn't actually the threshers or that mission, but that there is currently an issue with certain weapons: hitscan weapons (= firearms that hit the target immediately as opposed to launching a physical projectile at the target) sometimes don't work in specific areas around the sub. There was a similar report in our public issue tracker about this recently ( https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma/issues/4291 ), and we believe we've got a fix ready now. If possible, we'll see about including this in the upcoming hotfix, or at latest, the problem should be fixed in the next proper update (that one being somewhat further away in the future)!

Hi! To reduce the price further, there are two things you can cut back on: the items on the sub, and (probably more importantly) the total volume of the hulls of the sub. So in addition to removing some items, you may need to make the submarine smaller to be able to start a campaign with it. If you don't want to do that, you can also play the campaign with the default sub for a while until you can buy a bigger sub.

This restriction only applies to singleplayer campaign, so in multiplayer and in mission mode, you should be able to start with whichever sub you choose.

Hi! Yes, you should be able to transfer a save file like that. However, besides the save file itself, there's also a file called "[the_name_of_the_savefile]_CharacterData.xml" in the same folder as the save file, which is used to save the player characters (skills, inventories, etc). This file will also need to be shared if you want to keep playing with the same characters. With both files, you shouldn't have trouble resuming the campaign!

Thanks! There's a workaround for Windows 7 issues in that FAQ post that you should take a look at – it works for most people with that OS, and we have included instructions in Russian, too, behind that link I sent before. I hope this helps!

Hi! This sounds like it may be because of the autopilot changes we made intentionally to deal with the new environmental hazards. The autopilot is very cautious around ice spires and tends to stop near them, so some manual steering may now be required in some levels. We're monitoring the feedback, and the prevalence of autopilot use is coming as a bit of a surprise to us; we'll continue keeping an eye on things! If it seems this is not the problem for you, please let us know more about what went wrong :)

Hi! Please see this FAQ post for possible fixes: https://steamcommunity.com/app/602960/discussions/1/2250056952644548482/

If none of those help, are you able to find a crash report (a file called "crashreport.log" in the game folder), or does the game display any error messa... Read more

Hi! There's no bug there, really, but the text is admittedly confusing, because you cannot save your progress mid-round. There should be an additional popup that alerts you to this, but still, we'll be taking a look at that text to avoid further confusion!

Hi! The Thalassophobia author, Hub, doesn't read these forums a lot, so you should either leave a comment in the comment section of the mod or poke him in the modding channel of our Discord (where you will find him as Hubismal), if you want to reach him. I'm sure he wouldn't mind feedback :)

Hi! You can find Legacy subs as workshop items here; maybe one of them is what you're looking for?
