A fictional small & fast multi-purpose boat for Rigs of Rods (tested with 0.38.67). Features:
- Thrust vectoring (arrow keys) for tight maneuvers
- Working rudder (F7/F8) for course fine-tuning
- Can tow other boats (F11/F12 for tug rope, click-&-drag to position end of rope, L to lock on)
- Searchlight (F9/F10 to rotate, N to switch on/off)
- Lights (Ctrl+1)
- Emergency beacons (M) on rescue boat version
- 2 different versions (rescue boat and civilian version without emergency beacons), 5 different skins
- Lots of ropables for all your lifting & loading needs
- Works with the skinzip system
UPDATE 1.1
It's safe to delete your old weasel folder and replace with the new one. Changes:
- Lowered center of gravity to achieve more stability and tweaked engine power to account for the changed handling
- Converted all textures to .dds, easing up a few FPS
If you want to release a mod of this boat, follow 2 simple rules:
- Credit the original author (or authors, if you're modding a mod)
- No conflicts with the original version! Change all material names, mesh names, texture names, give it an all-new UID and GUID.
If you just want to make a skin for the Weasel, make a *.skinzip. After all, that's precisely what the system was designed for. The good news is you won't have to worry about conflicts with the original.
This pack includes the 'Atlas' class tugboat for Rigs of Rods (version 0.38.67) and 3 different unpropelled barges designed to work with the tug.
The Atlas tug features:
- Nav Lights (Ctrl+1)
- A pair of rear hooks (F9/F10) designed to link to the barges (L).
- A main hook (F11/F12) that can link to most other loads or boats (also L).
- 4 skins
- Works with the .skinzip system
The barges feature:
- An empty generic barge (100 tons)
- A loaded bulk barge (425 tons)
- A liquid goods barge (300 tons)
- Pairs of hooks on each end (F1/F2 and F3/F4) that can link to the tug or other barges
- If two barges are lined up and close enough to one another, they will link automatically (Alt+L to unlink)
FIX
Liquid goods barges wouldn't link to one another. If you downloaded before this fix, please replace your old Atlas-n-barges folder with this one. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Here's a quick tutorial of how to best dock the tug with a barge:
- Spawn a barge and an Atlas tug and line up with a barge. That should get you used to the tug's controls. Keep an easy hand on the steering wheel, she's slightly nervous.
- Extend your rear hooks a bit (F10), that'll make things easier. Not too much though.
- Add some reverse throttle and back up towards the barge slowly and carefully. Keep an easy hand on the throttle.
- If you're really close to the barge (and still lined up), bring the tug to a halt. Once stopped, hit "L" and wait for the ropes to link up.
- Now extend your rear hooks further for some safety margin between the Atlas and the barge. Congratulations, you're ready to go.
If you want to release a mod of the Atlas or barges, follow 2 simple rules:
- Credit the original author (or authors, if you're modding a mod)
- NO conflicts with the original version! Change all material names, mesh names, texture names, give it an all-new UID and GUID.
If you just want to make a skin for the Atlas or barges, make a *.skinzip. After all, that's precisely what the system was designed for. The good news is you won't have to worry about conflicts with the original.
This is my MS "North Star"
I only wanted to test whether i can build a nice driving ship in RoR.
But it works so fine (in my opinion ) that i has uploaded it for you.
The ship is inspiratet from the "Adler V" from the shipping line "Adler Schiffe" from north Germany.
The textures,meshes and the node/beam chassis are made by me.
It is a containership, it's name is "Cargo Princess"
there is place for either 7 of those 40ft containers or 14 at 20ft.
I'm not sure if also other containers fit - didn't test that..
The max speed is about 28kn.
the ship uses 65 ties to lock down all containers and it's net weight is about ~96 tons.
(Note: the name of the map can be seen at the end of the video)
You may mod it use it and crash it as much as you like!
Consider this ship "Open Source" like Rigs of Rods..

Bridge-Mesh and skin: it's from a tanker-mesh, I found as a cc0 3ds file from 3dxtras.com - I added the interior and transparency to windows and resized it.
ROR-Team: Please fix the bug with custom sounds for boats soon - I would like to add some.. - thanks in advance.. :-)
Submarine Deep Sea 9 - or DS9
For Science and Research..
speed: ~16kn
divedepth: all the way down to 30 meters and beyond..
features:
- crane arm to salvage crates, cars and other stuff.. - I lifted 1.7 tons with it.. probbably goes more..
- cockpit with 4 windows to see, what is around under the water..
- trailer-interface - is needed to load it on a trailer for land transport
- some nodes to lift it with a crane - you need something like Demag ZKKE
- tower-camera
- periscope-camera
the zip contains:
- submarine DS9
- 3 FPS versions with reduced quality or even removed some cameras - made a lot difference..
- trailer-interface
Maps release pending - WIP:
Submarine World 10 - The Ocean 2 (discussion here: The-Ocean-2), Submarine Cave 01 - The Maze
check the forum thread for updates
This submarine is open source - do with it as it pleases you..

Thanks to my beta testers..

Also thanks to the helpfull members in the forum thread..
I'd like to mention: Miura, DODGE charger, Aivar
Right now it can only drive (on water of course), there are no rope able points, ropes, or anything. This is just a basic boat, I made from scratch, to learn to make boats work. It is stable, and does not take damage easily. It is not fast, and wobbles like jelly. The inside camera is cockeyed. It has lots of issues, but it hasn't crashed my game, it floats, and it is controllable.
I made the hull, model, and texture.
This is my first version
If anyone can give me advice on fixing any of the issues, please let me know, especially the crocked camera.
DS9 Off Shore Crane - Science Research & Salvage
Belongs to the DS9 Submarine!
It features:
- a 2-bridged overhead crane on the water
- sidewarts extendable main booms to unload onto the land
- a car/cargo deck that can lock down loads and cars.
- a car ramp to drive on/off with vehicles..
- hooks that go under water to pick up sunken ships or loads
- side-thrusters for better manuverability
- underwater flares to see what you lift at night..
it can lift/transport/unload at least 70 tons!
I haven't tried heavier stuff..
This Crane is opensource - do with it as you like..
the fish swims automatically by using triggers..
the steering is bad - true story.
the speed is slow
To steer, the best is to use manual tail controlls and use them asymetrically - that turns it..
it can dive quite deep . but it does not like ground collision while the triggers are working..
The Balancing is adequate - it can hold it's depth quite well if you adjust the density/SideFins with gentle consideration..
Don't come and say "it can't do anything but swimm and dive" - it's a fish - what would you expect?
LOL
ohh btw - it supports skinzip..
but a minor bug in ROR will kill the videocamera as soon as a non-default skin is selected..
the videocamera works only with the default skin!
sorry..
