# Create: Deep Seas 3.0.0 & Create: High Seas 0.1.1 The biggest update so far. Boats get a mod of their own, ships flood and sink for real, the deep sea can crush your hull, and submarines get a computer, a sonar and an autopilot. The full technical list is in `changelog.md`. This is the player version. **Read the Heads-up at the bottom before updating.** Some old blocks are gone and the config has moved. --- ## ⛵ Create: High Seas (new companion mod) - **Living wind:** it shifts direction and strength over time, gusts, blows harder in rain and thunderstorms, and is blocked by the terrain around you. - **Sails:** a new Sail block in 16 colours (right-click with a dye). Each sail pushes where its canvas faces, so you trim your sails to the wind. You can still beat upwind, just slower. - The canvas really billows in the wind, bulging away from it and flipping when the wind changes side. - Right-click a sail to roll it up with an animation. A furled sail stops pushing and stops colliding. - Sails on a Swivel Bearing push the ship too. - **Realistic speed:** a ship's cruising speed grows with its hull length and drops if it carries too little canvas. A rigged raft does about 8 m/s; ships from 13 blocks long reach 14 m/s. Light boats can no longer be launched into a wall. - **Boat Engine:** - runs on fuel, refuelled from its own menu (lava buckets give the bucket back); - has idle and running sounds and exhaust smoke; - won't start if its propeller is blocked; - from the helm, hold right-click and move the mouse to set the top speed from 0 to 15. - **Helm & Rudder** to steer, with a proper seated pose. - **Anchor on a Steel Cable:** it hangs light and pins the ship with a full ton once it touches the bottom. The winch gives a redstone signal when the anchor is grounded. - **Oars:** rowing with animations, including from a buoy seat. - **Buoys** you can sit in. - **Seaglide:** an underwater scooter with speed effects and its own sounds. - **Wind Vane:** shows the wind. With goggles, it also shows how well your sails are trimmed. - Its own config screen (wind, sails, engine, oars, seaglide, anchor) and its own section in the Simulated creative tab. ## 🌊 Floating, flooding and sinking - **Boats float on the water they really displace** and keep their holds dry, with the same pixel-perfect water hiding as submarines. - **Progressive flooding:** a breach no longer floods a room in one go. Real water pours in block by block, from the lowest point up. - The deeper the hole, the faster the water comes in. Several holes flood faster than one. - A room with no way out for the air keeps an air pocket that shrinks as you go deeper. - When the ship rises, water drains back out through holes that end up above the surface. - The water sloshes to the low side when the ship heels. - Every block of water weighs the ship down where it sits. A flooded ship lists, settles by the bow and sinks all the way to the sea floor. - Only covered parts of the ship fill up. An open deck simply stops floating the ship once the sea reaches it. - Open doors, trapdoors and hatches count as holes; closing them seals the room again. - Breaches are saved with the world. Repairing the hole seals the room. - A sealed hull with no running oxygen that ends up underwater fills with water after two seconds. ## 💥 Pressure and implosions - **Hull strength rebalanced per material:** | Material | Holds to | |---|---| | Glass | 20–30 m | | Wood | about 40 m | | Stone | 60–80 m | | Iron | about 100 m | | Ordinary blocks (cap) | 400 m | | Obsidian | 500 m | | Pressurized glass | 700 m (for the Abyss) | - **Hull strain:** past 80% of your crush depth, the hull creaks and the camera sways gently, more and more as you near the limit. - **Last warning:** a hull block about to give way groans, drips, flickers the lights and shakes the camera for three seconds. - **Implosions:** - Above 120 blocks of depth (changeable in the server config), the block bursts and the room floods through the hole. - Deeper, the hull implodes. A deadly shockwave hits everyone inside and hurts everyone nearby, and the ship tears into many pieces under a string of underwater explosions. - **Dying in an implosion:** the screen cuts to black and every sound stops. Your ears ring while one of four lines about the depth fades in, then the death screen appears. - **No more fake pressure:** pressure only counts real water above the ship, so dry underwater caves are safe. ## 🖥️ Onboard Computer, Sonar and Autopilot - **Onboard Computer:** a chart screen you click directly, with no menu. - Type a target depth and pick a speed, and it drives your Pump Controllers by itself. - It learns how fast your pumps are, brakes in time and holds the depth to the block. - **Pump Controller:** a Create-style pump the computer takes over automatically. It always pumps the right way, whichever way it faces. - **Sonar:** a spinning, glowing block that maps the sea floor around the ship as a 3D blueprint, refreshed by a ping every two seconds. - Mines, creatures and other ships show up as coloured dots, even behind rocks. - It shows your clearance above the sea floor. - A large map window lets you pan, rotate and zoom. - **Autopilot:** follows the sea floor 4 m above the ground, looking ahead to climb before slopes, and never goes below your crush depth. - **Diagnostic:** a full hull report with the maximum safe depth, the weakest block, a HERMETIC/BREACHED stamp, cracks to repair and the coordinates of every leak. ## 🔧 Blocks and items - **Decompression Chamber (finished):** a real airlock you flood and drain with a pump. Pipes now connect at any time. It has a step-by-step Ponder scene. - **Industrial Alarm:** red lamp and siren when you dive past your hull's limit. It flashes faster the deeper you go. - **Arresting Hook:** mount it under a ship and power it, and it grabs a Steel Cable stretched across your path to brake you to a stop, like a carrier landing. Craftable, with a Ponder scene. - **Big Propeller:** four propellers in a 2×2 square merge into one, 16× stronger than a single one. - **Electrolyzer:** - put a Shaft in its new module slot to run it on rotation; - it faces any direction and can be turned with a wrench. - **Ballast Tanks and Ballast Vent:** - Ballast Tanks connect like Create's tanks and can be placed a whole layer at a time. - The Ballast Vent is now a simple sea valve, with a rewritten Ponder scene. - **Other changes:** - Pulleys can be placed upside down. - Mines and Pulleys are now solid. - The mine recipe is cheaper. - New Oxygen Bucket. - Moving ships leave a wake. ## 🧭 Handling - Submarines rise and dive straight, level themselves out and turn where their bow points instead of sliding sideways. - Diffuser air is for breathing only and no longer lifts the hull. - A submarine over magma no longer drags the people inside down to the floor. ## ⚡ Performance - **Big ships:** they no longer freeze the game when a block breaks. Hull scans are spread out and only run when the hull changes. - **Floaters and Ballast Tanks:** they share their group data instead of each one rebuilding it, which makes big arrays much cheaper. - **Boat logic:** ships out of the water (airships, ships on land) cost nothing to the boat system. - **Oxygen Diffusers:** they only rescan when the hull actually changes. ## ♿ Accessibility - **Photosensitivity warning** on first launch. Tick "I am photosensitive or epileptic" (or `photosensitiveMode` in the client config) to turn off the alarm's coloured flashing light. - Server owners can stop alarms from flashing for everyone with `alarmSteadyLight`. ## 🛠️ Main fixes - **Water:** - `/sable remove` no longer leaves a dry hole in the sea. - No more holes in the water around stairs and slabs, and no water showing through slab floors. - **Iris and Sodium:** - With Iris installed, the Sonar and the Alarm no longer turn the screen black and purple. They give normal Minecraft light instead. - Fixed a Sodium crash when another Veil mod is installed. - **Fog:** fixed fog in air pockets and with Distant Horizons. - **Ropes and cables:** - Steel cables no longer fling you, trap you on a block or push you into the floor. - A plain rope no longer carries power like a steel cable. - Anchors no longer launch the boat when tied. - Ropes on anchors and buoys are visible again. - **Ships and sails:** - Big square-riggers no longer get stuck in place. - Sails no longer push players into walls. - The Wind Vane no longer points backwards. - **Dupes and exploits:** fixed the Diffuser/Electrolyzer duplication. Wrecks no longer chain-explode, and the boat menu closes when you walk away. - **Interface:** - Clicks on the Onboard Computer screen now land exactly under the crosshair. - The helm body no longer jitters. - You can no longer take the tiller where there is no room to sit. ## ⚠️ Heads-up - **Removed:** the old Weather Vane and Submarine Rudder disappear from your worlds. Use the High Seas Wind Vane and Rudder. - **Old sails:** Simulated's Symmetric Sails no longer push ships. Replace them with the new Sail. - **Config split** into common / server / client files. Gameplay values go back to their defaults in the new per-world server config. - **Hull strength:** your old default values are updated automatically on first launch. Values you edited yourself are kept, and `submarine_hull.json` is backed up first. - **Shaders:** with an Iris shader pack, sails don't billow, and the Sonar and Alarm have no coloured lights. - **Requires:** - Create Aeronautics 1.3.2+; - Simulated 1.3.0+; - Sable 2.0.3+; - if you use it, Sodium 0.8.12+. Lithostitched and Fusion are now built in. - **Submarine Staff:** not in this release yet. Translations: English and French are complete. Some new texts are still in English in the other languages.
