Kasugano Sora New Horizons
Hello everyone!
This is my first large-scale project. Let me clarify upfront: this build is NOT a direct upgrade of the renowned [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1829675776]Kasugano Sora by Dalva[/url] . Huge thanks to Dalva and their team for creating that stunning naval masterpiece—which I’ve dared to refine. As an independent developer of this third-party version, I apologize if you feel I’ve compromised the original design. For full documentation and operating instructions of the ship’s core systems, please refer to the original build: Kasugano Sora.
Now, onto the improvements! Leveraging StormWorks community best practices and my own expertise, I’ve implemented significant technical upgrades:
Emergency Rapid Response System (ERRS)
[b]Flood Containment:[/b]
[list]
[*] Instantly seals all doors/hatches via control panel. Manual override per zone available.
[/list]
[b]Emergency Pumps:[/b]
[list]
[*] Manually activated during flooding; monitored from engineering.
[/list]
[b]Backup Power:[/b]
[list]
[*] Emergency batteries (manual activation) power critical systems.
[*] Doors always receive power during emergencies, bypassing main switches.
[*] Secondary generator can be started via backup batteries if main power fails.
[*] Recovery Protocol: Manually charge the secondary generator’s starter battery to revive all systems if primary backups fail.
[/list]
[b]Evacuation:[/b]
[list]
[*] Visual/audio alerts guide crew via illuminated arrows to lifeboats.
[/list]
[b]Lifeboats Include:[/b]
[list]
[*] Survival gear (lighting, first aid, tools).
[*] Communication, climate control, and GPS showing both boats’ locations.
[*] Radio beacons for detection.
[/list]
[b]Auto-Dewatering:[/b]
[list]
[*] Clears water even if fully submerged, enabling escape post-sinking.
[*] Backup pumps + manual air cylinders for pressurization.
[/list]
[b]Additional Safety:[/b]
[list]
[*] Cabins: Emergency kits (whistle + oxygen tank) in every room.
[*] Forward Lower Deck: Pressurization cylinders to rapidly clear flooded cabins if evacuation is impossible.
[/list]
(This isn’t a full ERRS overview—there’s so much new logic, I might’ve missed details! Let me know in comments if you’d like a full system guide.)
Other Key Upgrades:
1. Sensors: Sonar, radar, and radio/video/text comms.
2. Weapons: Mines, guided/unguided missiles + hidden arsenal.
3. HVAC: Air vacuum system + emergency overpressure in the engine room for rapid drying.
4. Monitoring: Generator/engine diagnostics with error displays.
5.Fuel System: Fully redesigned logic with error alerts + manual/auto testing.
6. Fire Protection: Manual alarms + auto flame detection with zone mapping. Improved engine-room extinguisher logic.
7. Power & Propulsion: Complete logic overhaul for motors and electrical systems.
8. Usability: Enhanced controls at all stations.
9. Aesthetics: New interactive decor and design elements.
10.Original Tribute: Dalva’s lifeboat model (improved and integrated).
11. Hull Integrity Monitoring (HIMS): Real-time damage assessment for collisions and structural stress.
12. Anchor Automation System: Precision control for deployment/retrieval with depth-based logic.
13. Integrated Sensor Network: Centralized monitoring for navigation, ballast, and power systems.
14. Precision Emergency Beacon Locator: Maps real-time range, bearing, and precise location
(a currently unique сapability)
15. Advanced Autopilot & Navigation Suite.
...and much more!
Important Note: Many of these systems are brand new and still being refined. If you encounter any bugs or unexpected behavior while using them, please don't hesitate to report them in the comments! Your feedback is crucial for making this project better. 🐞
Overall, this ship is extremely sophisticated—over half the original logic was reworked, plus countless new additions.
Special thanks
to all creators whose systems inspired this build, and again to Dalva for the incredible foundation that let me flex my creative muscles.
Fair winds and successful missions!
