[h1] This is an entire mod that adds items, voicelines and a submarine based on the Iron Lung movie as well as sounds that come from the Iron Lung game and my ROBLOX Iron Lung project. [/h1]

[h2] Check out the thumbnails for more info on the items. [/h2]

I tried to make it as accurate as possible. The crawlspace is nice to move around, preferably without Crawl-Mod, but it probably works with that as well.

The submarine also consists of reskinned parts that were modelled and then drawn over as 2D sprites.

The engine has sounds that come from the game and the propeller actually spins depending on the thrust power.

The porthole window closes, makes the same noise from the game and even comes with its own switch.

It does not have a sonar. Good luck.

The submarine does not have an oxygen generator. The oxygen meter works and you will notice that it also goes down quickly. A couple items were made to manage oxygen levels and its suggested to only keep 1 person inside, otherwise oxygen will go down faster.

The submarine does have the speaker, and it does play the sounds. It may not look like the Iron Lung speaker but thats because its a version im using for my project.

The voicelines were voiced by me, i still tried to get it as accurate as possible while also making things my own variant. (This also isn't because of copyright or anything, mostly because i just can't get all of the og sounds anyway)

The submarine has a terminal that you can actually rewire and communicate through.

The whole thing should be 5 meters. There are 2 pipe weakpoints, The bottom valve will shutoff the ballast pump while also shutting off the point in the crawlspace. The third valve near the ceiling does nothing.

Believe it or not, transducers won't allow you to dock, so you must go to your terminal and type in "DOCK" or "dock" to dock your vessel.

[h1] Requires The Carrier Ship (basically) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3760344697

The ladder was extended in the iron lung so players have a better chance of leaving it with no ladder. The ladder in the carrier ship was also extended so you don't need a ladder at all when docked to it and this was because of the NPC's getting stuck in it. [/h1]

I couldn't add the sounds for the terminal in the way i wanted but the sounds are there, i really wanted to release the submarine.

Feel free to drop suggestions.

[h2] Not recommended with "Bad Air" (either the smoke builds too fast, or it messes with the oxygen meter if water flows too fast) [/h2]

[h1] HASN'T BEEN TESTED WITHOUT ENHANCED IMMERSION, MIGHT BE A REQUIREMENT.
