Description
Ensure you have all dependencies installed & loaded before UBE & enabled in the launcher

(back from the dead and on life support) Updated to Version 0.8.8 [2025.1] !

See the Change Notes here

When will UBE be finished?

Until I release UBE Version 1.0.0 , this mod is in a Work in Progress [WIP] state.
Features may be added, removed, changed during the mods development, It is a careful balance between figuring out what works and what doesn't.
When is Release?
Hopefully, shortly (a few months) after Uboats final release. However, this does not mean that there wont be new "Expanded" Mods or new integration following release.

Food consumption is absolutely insane with this mod?!
Riggity 1 Oct @ 10:07pm 
I think you should go re look up your information on food consumption, I'm finding it to be between 26 to 39kg per day, your saying in the 120kg, thats over 240lbs of food eaten in a day, by like 59 people, which would be absolutely insane. Also does this mod add warship convoys?? I wasnt able to see anything about that in common questions.

I would appreciate this as well. For some reason I cannot join Discord at all.

I'm not in the discord, does anyone care to drop any information on Links progress here?

only 2? when i played like 90% of them were not moving and if hit they either started to spin stopping when they ended engaging or either they acted like that CIWS locking into civilian airliner and then after ending engagement they snapped to previous position. also there like half ships in the air as there is planes but thats a bit fault of enginge enhanced by mod

Everything fine, until I find a task force when leaving TC and the 2 cruisers begin to spin like those videos of a fish

You have four options options; help the mod team make the mod better faster. Make your own version. Play the game vanillaz play the game with the mod as it.

If you don't want to use the mod, then dont..not a hard concept to grasp really.

i know this mod is work in progress, but its not justification of making it almost unplayable. i know that updates in this game break mods like crazy but you know, if im playing a mod that was updated not that much time ago i dont expect the update to contain mod that will waste hours of time because its in state ''you can finish the game...maybe. just dont expect stuff inside to work''. if the mod gets updated and its more broken than original game then how i can justify playing it?
