Sunless Sea Auxiliary Slot

Weapons are equipment mounted on ships crossing the Unterzee to defend against monsters and pirates inhabiting it. No captain with a self-preservation instinct ever leaves port without at least a deck gun mounted.

I've been really intrigued about modding sunless sea recently, but I want to know if it's possible to add/change assets like islands, ships, ect. Some mods like Sunless Stories add ships, so I know it's possible, but I haven't been able to figure out where the assets are even stored. Now when you run the Notepad you can open the json files of Sunless Sea. On Windows they are located usually on your systemdrive users 'yourusername' AppData LocalLow Failbetter Games Sunless Sea. First I used the file entities qualitis.json so when you load it in the Notepad it is just a single long line. Sunless Sea is a Role-Playing Game from Failbetter Games, the creators of Fallen London, following a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.Set in the Fallen London universe, the game casts the player as the captain of a steamship, exploring the Unterzee - the colossal, largely uncharted underground lake that surrounds the sunken city.

Weapon Slots[edit edit source]

All ships, no matter their size, can mount a Deck weapon. Larger ships may also be able to mount a Foward weapon, and possibly an Aft weapon. Each weapon is designed for only one of these three slots, and cannot be mounted elsewhere.

  • Deck weapons have a very wide firing angle and a good range.
  • Forward weapons have a much narrower firing angle, but a better range. Most are specialized and have interesting properties, either doing extra damage to beasts and crew, or staggering enemies and doing extra damage to ships. All torpedo-launchers and flensing weapons are Forward-mounted.
  • Aft weapons can fire upon enemies while the ship is fleeing from them which have snuck up behind our brave London zee-captains! They take longer to aim, but deliver powerful attacks that stagger enemies for a longer time. The Aft equipment slot is unique in that its pieces of equipment include both weapons and non-weapons.

Weapon Types[edit edit source]

There are four main types of weapons on the zee: cannons, torpedo-launchers, flensing weapons, and Icaruses in Black.

  • Cannons are standard weaponry, equally effective against ships and beasts. They do not consume ammunition. All Deck and Aft weapons are standard cannons.
  • Flensing weapons are specialized weaponry designed to rip and tear the flesh of zee-beasts (as well as their scales, shells, hide, chitin, spines, ichorous membranes, wings, etc.) They do more damage to beasts than to the hulls of ships, and are better at killing enemy Crew than staggering enemies. Like cannons, flensing weapons do not require ammunition. All flensing weapons are Forward-mounted.
  • Torpedo-launchers are specialized weaponry designed to blow apart the hulls of enemy vessels. They are quite powerful, though they deal somewhat less damage to beasts and enemy crew. Firing any torpedo-launcher consumes one unit of Torpedo Components. All torpedo-launchers are Forward-mounted.
  • Icaruses in Black deal impressive damage to ships, and utterly apocalyptic damage to monsters. However, each shot requires.... unusual ammunition. The entire Icarus in Black is Forward-mounted.
