Very underrated channel! You put more effort into your videos than a lot of big name channels and create videos that are far more entertaining and informative! I am confident that your channel will continue to grow towards a prosperous future!
To add to your findings, currently there is a bug (and has been since multi-block slopes were added) where 1x2 and 1x4 slopes and their corosponding pyramids are modeled as solid blocks when it comes to whater drag, meaning a hull built with them is basically a brick in terms of the physics engine. The best way to overcome this this to work out where your water line will sit and use 1x1 slopes below water line, then use multi-block slopes above for the aesthetic. But great video! brilliant explanation of hull types
Stormworks: The perfect hull has a flat bottom and a 45° straight bow. Real life: angry Ray hunt,Sonny Levi,Don Aronow,Fabio Buzzy and many more noises.
Yeah, no simulation of bound laminar flow layer and turbulent detatched layer means the only thing determining drag is impact angle. The more a d longer pyramids you use the less drag you have. Kind of a bummer.
6:58 "Stupidly bad efficiency" - you suddenly measured efficiency wrong. Excellent video, and I subbed, but if the boats aren't all going the same speed now, you have to compare meters/liter. Hull 1 - 12.5m/s, 18.3m/l gets 12.8km in the 17 minutes to burn all it's fuel Hull 4 - 18.5m/s, 15.6m/l gets 10.9km in 9.8 minutes to burn all 698 liters the difference in efficiency isn't as much as your bar graph suggests. Hull 4 already showed it's the efficiency winner Hull 4 - 12m/s, 36m/l gets 25.1km in 35 minutes. Somewhere between 12m/s and 18 there is a speed that gets you far, fast, without wasting so much fuel in Hull 4
To be fair he was measuring efficiency wrong from the get-go. It just so happened that the speed was a controlled variable, so the distance traveled in an hour happened to remain constant. Fuel efficiency means different things in different context, but in the context of a mission boat, that is used to perform missions where one sets out from point A and travels to point B (some distance away) for the mission, then fuel consumed over distance (or the other way around) is how one measures efficiency, not fuel over time. You're not just trying to maximize your time out on the sea, you're doing a mission. Also having the engine as a controlled variable does give you the relative positions of the hulls tested (ie. which is more efficient than the other), but it doesn't give you accurate data as to how much more efficient one design is over the other. With less water resistance hull 4 might have been better off with a higher gear ratio, and that might have significantly increased its efficiency, especially at higher speeds.
I actually can't believe that's still in the game. Devs should've fixed that long ago. It's so annoying beautiful hulls are pointless and hindering overall performance.
This video came perfectly timed, almost a bit creepily so! Just earlier today I modified a few months old boat of mine in Stormworks to replace some of the hull with some 2x1s and 2x2 wedges and such, just to smooth out the hull (kept the EXACT same shape, just made the hull smoother and less "jagged". In doing so the top speed of the boat went from around 85 kph -> 42 kph. The weight increased by around 100 units (which isnt much), other than that there was just the type of wedges that changed. It seems that this game treats the 1x1 wedges and pyramids unproportionately different than the 2x1 and 4x1s, kinda seems like the 1x1s have tiny drag in comparison, even when the 2x1s are angled to realisticly create much LESS drag. Dunno why, but annoys me when i build to please my eyes but still be functional.
The newer wedges like 1x2, 2x2, 1x4 etc. all have wrong buoyancy and drag calculations...Only the old 1x1x1 wedges are working correctly. I think it doesn't matter in the air though. Or at least not to the point where it makes a difference.
@@matt309 Havnt tested it since, been mostly focusing on planes and trucks. But i havnt seen it been mentioned among the fixes, but i also dont read the patches super focused so i MIGHT have missed it. Wouldnt count on it having been fixed though.
This vid is great! Please make a displacement hull video next, I would love to see your info for bigger ship builds that use that style. Subscribed btw!
Fantastic video. This is super helpful for hull design. I noticed you added a duck tail design on the hulls as well. Is there any functionality in that? A video on displacement hills would be great Edit: I was typing this on my phone last night. Didn't see that it autocorrected it to hills.
I would definitely like a similar video on displacement hulls; despite Stormworks' wonky and somewhat inconsistent physics/hydrodynamics modeling, it would still be interesting and useful.
Awesome! I know that I may build some very basic shaped looking vessels but they are built for function over form and I tend to stick to a very basic design of 1x1 wedges with slanted sides and a flat bottom simple because the the best in my experience
Great video, looking forward to a displacement hull one too. Currently trying to build a mobile base on essentially a tanker ship with a helicopter on deck, and a sub or smaller boat hung over the side, plus a land vehicle for the heli to transport. Main issue I'm having is having a helicopter on deck without the ship capsizing, wanted to use a Chinook I like because it has the power to lift cargo but I may have to just make do with a little huey
I suggest you don't use a chinook unless you're building a extraordinarily large tanker. the chinook weighs a lot, and it would certainly have to secured during rough weather. I think a smaller huey is the way to go.
WOW i been building a boat and this help out alot I am useing a larger version of hull2 but problem was it would be slower than 8 knotes but i look at some other ships that were about to same size and i got and i love this already because to example alot about how it works.
Nice video. Just found it out and already subscribed. But I got a question: How do I decide where to build the cabin, if there is an easy answer, of course.
Did you also test how a fully wedge bow does? So when you look from the front its just going straight upwards? As this should create the earliest planing affect as you have the biggest impact area of the water the vessel is passing through.
I wondered this question for around a week and finally I found you video. But I will never float with Hull 4 or similar, it looks more ugly that efficient
haha before seeing this video i built some obscene boat with the long narrow planing hull powered by 2 turbine engines. it can only operate at 14% power and 9% max throttle before trying to fly.
all the hulls in stormworks are displacement hulls because the game does not simulate hydrodynamics to push the boat hull out of the water. the only force you have when your boat pitches up under acceleration is the result of your propeller/water jet not been in line with the center off mass. the only way that you have to actually simulate a planning hull is trough pid's and fins to lift the hull out of the water. What you tested on the video it's just different hull shapes that all affect how the boat act under movement because of the water drag simulation of the game, not hydrodynamics. With that said your explanation to why certain hulls are more efficient in game is not correct, off course when lifting the boat out of the water the drag is reduced and then fuel efficiency and/or speed goes up but that´s it, if you dont have any kind of ride height control(aka hydrofoils). Because of the propeller not being in line with the CoM, it lifts the bow and reduces drag since there is less boat under water. The why some shapes have different behaviors is just because of hull shape under water, a flat button ship in game is much more stable on the roll axis than v button. On the other end the V button shape hull is faster than the flat button. About the types of hull, you have two main types irl: The displacement hull that displaces the water like you explained. This types of hull is beneficial on cargo capacity and are generally stable under rough sea conditions. The planning hull can be explained like a "wing" that trough hydrodynamics lifts the boat out of water reducing drag. basically uses the hull shape to send water down creating a lifting force. One of the more stable planing hulls is a v button shape. This hull is found in yachts and ships not bigger than 20 m since more less past that length the ship becomes too heavy to lift. You also have semi displacement hulls that are basically a displacement hull that can generate lift under speed
Can you recommend any specific software that is not super expensive for more reliable hydrodynamic simulations? I've worked with DelftShip, which is good for stability and drag calculations, but I miss wave simulations. I also worked with Blender 2.8 with fluid simulation, which is great for the graphics part, but not so much for collecting reliable numerical data. In other words: is there any "cheap" naval architecture software that you can recommend that also includes hydrodynamic 3D simulations, i.e. like a virtual towing tank?
Wedges do have a opposite reaction, and can be used to push planing boats out of the water. it is not solely the effect of having a propeller underneath center of mass. i have tested this quite a lot with seaplanes. no need for hydrofoils. though they certainly are more effective.
@@___Chris___ sorry for a delayed response. i am not a naval architect/engineer so i don't know any professional grade software. I am just a really curious person that do his research about the things he loves.
The reason the diffrent hulls are faster is because when the devs made the new wedges they added no bouancy to them and added to much of a drag calculation t them
if using tail rotor or aircraft propeller you need to tilt them up using robotic hinge and ontop of that have fin ruders under the nose to push it up. heavy rotor has build in pitch that you can use. physics are surprisingly garbage in this Game. Water has the property of Sirup. every block and wedge that isnt the old 1x1x1 has a bug wich makes them have more drag around 33% speed loss on aircraft and boats. they know the bug but dont plan on fixing it same as the 3x3 - 7x7 wheels spazing out as subgrid would take them 6 weeks to rework it pfff so they wont do it. we once hat the chance to make proper windmills using Propellers but they decided to get something else ingame wich you can gues functions to utmost dissatisfaction. if 1.0 is just as underperforming as the rest of the 3 year of development i call it a scam they cant be that bad or incompetent. 2.3k hours on the game now and around for close to 2 years.
@@cpt.mirones5109 I haven't found tilted propellers very helpful, but I was able to use lift-providing small fins on the bottom of it, which would keep the plane from having an extreme amount of drag on a water takeoff. I think it's a much simpler design that works so much better. i just wish we had thin blocks so I can have a more buoyant plane, or one that, like you said, only uses 1x1 wedges and looks bad.
To be fair, a bulbous bow would probably not make any positive difference in storm works. this is an excellent source for reading on this topic; www.dmsonline.us/limits-bulbous-bows/
i find it important to mention that 1x2 and 1x4 pieces have way higher drag and lower buoyancy then 1x1 pieces sidenote: this is not realistic but a problem with the games physics engine instead
You also need to take into account the hull drag... If you use 1x1 slopes you'll find a higher performance. For some reason, even if your boat is extremely streamlined, if you use the 2x1 or 4x1 slopes you'll see a drastic increase in drag. The way they calculate drag on those parts is absolutely horrid.
a flat faced craft will do better then one made with 1x2 and 1x4 wedges and their respective pyramids. its stupid. my fastest boat can do 160kmph and its just a box with 1x1 wedges on the front bottom corner about 5 long, 2 mediums prefab engines with a water jet and i go really fast. its stupid
Never knew I would see such professionalism in a Stormworks video. Great job. I did not know that hull shape affected speed and fuel consumption.
Thanks so much. I gotta admit, I was a little inspired by Mark Rober.
Ofcourse hull shape affects speed and fuel consumption, just like aerodynamic on cars, we have hydrodynamics on ships
drag force a thing bro
Bro I love ur engines
Well done video!
Yes
Also you should put all hulls in one workshop build with notes so people can see the difference
Hmm... maybe i will
Did you? I would really like to use hull 4

To add to your findings, currently there is a bug (and has been since multi-block slopes were added) where 1x2 and 1x4 slopes and their corosponding pyramids are modeled as solid blocks when it comes to whater drag, meaning a hull built with them is basically a brick in terms of the physics engine.
The best way to overcome this this to work out where your water line will sit and use 1x1 slopes below water line, then use multi-block slopes above for the aesthetic.
But great video! brilliant explanation of hull types

Hello m8, Hmm you seem familiar...
The reason 1x1x1 wedges are out performing is that all other angled pieces don't displace water. So they are like building without slopes.
Yeah gotta love stormworks
Well that's rather annoying.

Did you also test how a fully wedge bow does? So when you look from the front its just going straight upwards? As this should create the earliest planing affect as you have the biggest impact area of the water the vessel is passing through.
More solid evidence that Stormworks NEEDS to fix the bug that physically treats the 2x and 3x slopes as solid square blocks
awesome video
I want to see the video on displacement hulls, I want to make a long range cruiser.
Nice, but you forgot the summary, one screen that shows all the hulls and the results in single graph.
Does the wedge pieces ABOVE the water line have a significant effect at all?
great vid!
Does the shape of a submarine hull affect the speed it can travel, or are these speed increases only due to how easy each hull could plane?
Seems like you took some inspiration from Mark Rober judging by the way you presented the video. Just guessing. Also great work very well thought out.
Yes, indeed! I hope it was original enough
So which hull would one want for a frigate that’s meant to go far
can you make a tutorial on how to build hull 4?
Can you put these hull designs on the workshop?
Sure. I'll try to do that sometime soon
I just bought the game and my first boat raises up out of the water constantly. What do?
huh i like this way u talk
thanks, I never thought I'd get complemented on my voice

Please do a displacement hull 🙏
haha before seeing this video i built some obscene boat with the long narrow planing hull powered by 2 turbine engines. it can only operate at 14% power and 9% max throttle before trying to fly.
I knew something was a bit off, my ship lost alot of speed when I made a time consuming hull upgrade using the fancy new angled blocks.
I will watch this alot for the tutorials cause i want to get into building In stormworks

Don’t compare stormworks to real physics. There is no displacement in this game. And ocean physics aren’t near realistic.
