Hi all,
I released this on Reddit several weeks ago, but it looks like all the good community is here - so here I am! I also see it's been on sale for Steam Summer Sale, so a good time for this to get some visibility for new users.
Just letting everyone know about an online tool I made, Wolfstack Workshop:
https://amcnicoll.com/shipyard/
The UI (in "Analysis" mode) looks like this:
Despite having well over a hundred hours in Sunless Sea, I often found myself a bit confused when it comes to ship performance. Like many others, I didn't quite understand how weight affected speed, how power affect fuel consumption, etc. etc. It always seems like someone is asking "Is X better than X?" without a satisfactory response.
So, after harvesting some info from the community (specially thanks to rurku1 on reddit for his spreadsheet) I put this tool together for you all to use.
I have a few extra features planned for it (plots! graphs!), but you should find it useful the way it is now. I'll get back to it when I'm done with this busy streak I'm having.
Feedback and questions appreciated! Salt's blessings!

Wow thanks. I can finally scientifically prove what my gut has been telling me all along. My Maenead class frigate with Fulgent Engine, Mile-breaker, We are Clay and Tireless Mechanic is truly the most effective combo for speed/range in the whole game. Sure Lampad Cutter can be a tiiiiiny bit faster but it has half the range and less than half cargo (And less guns) Finally I know for a fact that my dear Harrington(Maenead class frigate) is the best ship to sail the Unterzee. Three cheers for effective builds! And another three cheers for amcnicoll for creating this wonderful tool!

You have no idea how happy this makes me.
I’m fascinated by all the information to be gleaned here. The Cutter’s even smaller than a Launch! The Cladery Heart really is worth getting! I don’t need to feel bad about never getting the Serpentine, because it’s not that great an engine anyway!
Thanks.
