Welcome to Kibquatic Industries' Flo submarine, that's capable of exploration, rescue and some combat (2 Battle cannons).
Specs:
- Price: ~200000
- Speed: 28 kts (52 Boost mode enabled)
- Can fit into starter base

Operation:
- Go to Engine Room and turn on the steam generator.
- While Steam generator is heating start generating water with Oxygen Generator -> used to add more water to steam generator to increase output from 1000 SWATS to 1500 SWATS).
- Turn on Air pumps to fill up Air tanks for Backup generator, Ballast Blowing and Airlock.
- Use a hose to connect water outlet to steam generator water tank and pump more water in it to hit 1500 SWATS)
- Turn on Oxygen generator step to generate more Oxygen for breathing.

Emergency Operation:
- Disconnect Main battery and connect backup battery in engine room.
- If you have no battery power use hand cranks to help start the backup engine.
- Backup Engine Should give about 105 SWATS -> enough to restart steam generator (it can also be overclocked by putting a higher target RPS in the keypad - might cause overheating)
How to dive:
- On the left side of the cockpit there is a Ballast controller where you have to set ballast Keypad to 5000 to achieve neutral buoyancy.
- If you need to do a quick dive just set the propeller depth hold kypad in the front right of the cockpit to a desired negative number and the submarine will make a quick descent.
This submarine started as a smaller project and was developed over time with a lot of new features. Hope you like Flo as much as I do. Happy exploring :)
