How to build the Skidbladnir

The building of the Skidbladnir and its navskids was created as an internal IFSCL mini-game. We strongly advise you to study the inventory's books, in order to find yourself the necessary codes and values to build the virtual submarine. Get to the inventory through the radial menu (right-click), then open the 'Book' section .

Step 1: Skidbladnir configuration

The first step is to configure the Skidbladnir's main hull with the virtual builder.

Preloading the Skidbladnir

Open the 'Virtual builder'.
```
build
```
Preload the Skidbladnir's building parameters.
```
build.skid
```

Configuring the Skidbladnir

Configure the Skidbladnir's building code.
Where is the Skidbladnir's building code?
The Skidbladnir's building code is on the page 245 of the Moby Dick book.
```
skid.code.<BuildingCode>
skid.code.35S58B (example)
```
Configure the Skidbladnir's bipolar coordinates.
Where are the Skidbladnir's bipolar coordinates?
The Skidbladnir's bipolar coordinates are on the page 235 of the Moby Dick book.
```
skid.crdbipolar.<CrdX>.<CrdY>
skid.crdbipolar.834.879 (example)
```
Configure the energy allocated to the Skidbladnir.
```
skid.energie.1000
```
Configure the Skidbladnir's modules building order.
What is the modules configuration's order?
When building the submarine, you must configure in a precise order each one of the 10 Skidbladnir's modules. This order is designated by the 3 post-its green, blue and yellow which are in the Moby Dick book. Each post-it designates in a certain order the book pages on which to find the submarine's modules.
Order 1
The green post-it on the book's first page indicates the configuration order of the submarine's first four modules (main axis, stabilisers, shields and propulsors). The post-it designates the number of the chapter on which the module's name is.
Order 2
The blue post-it on the 561 page indicates the configuration order of the submarine's 5^th, 6^thand 7^th modules (torpedoes, retrobrakes and clamps).
Order 3
The yellow post-it located on the 203 page indicates the configuration order of the submarine's 8^th, 9^thand 10^th modules (digital key, sonar and turbohelix).
```
skid.ordre.<Module>
skid.ordre.propulseurs (exemple)
```

Step 2: Navskids configuration

Once the Skidbladnir's main hull is configured, you have to build the 4 navskids.

Preload a navskid

Preload the navskid's building parameters in the virtual builder.
Note:
Each navskid is associated with a colour. The X variable corresponds to the navskid colour's first letter.
- NavskidP - Purple Navskid
- NavskidY - Yellow Navskid
- NavskidS - Silver Navskid
- NavskidR - Red Navskid
```
build.navskid<X>
build.navskidP (example)
```

Configuring navskids

Configure the navskid's building code.
Where is the navskids' building code?
The 4 navskids' building code can be found in the 20,000 leagues under the sea book.
Purple navskid
The purple navskid's building code is on the post-it on the page 371 of the 20,000 leagues under the sea book.
Yellow navskid
The yellow navskid's building code is on the post-it on the page 300 of the 20,000 leagues under the sea book.
Silver navskid
The silver navskid's building code is on the post-it on the page 266 of the 20,000 leagues under the sea book.
Red navskid
In order to find the red navskid's building code, get to page 390 of the 20,000 leagues under the sea book in order to find the code number (1, 2 or 3).
After that, go to page 373 and find the code linked to the number you have found on page 390.
```
navskid<X>.code.<Buildingcode>
navskidY.code.48N79Y
```

Step 3: Skidbladnir compilation

Once the main hull and the 4 navskids are configured, you can start to compile the Skidbladnir.

Check the configured parameters with a building simulation.
Warning:
If there is an error in one or more parameters, an anomaly window will indicate the problem origin.
```
build.sim
```
Start to compile the Skidbladnir.
Note:
Speed up the time in game by clicking on the calendar's clock, which you can access through the radial menu (right-click).
```
build.compile
```
Once compilation is over, start the Skidbladnir's build.
Warning:
- Once the Skidbladnir built, the "Docking shield" window opens on a countdown showing the time to complete the Skidbladnir's build. Once that time is over, the submarine will disintegrate. In that case, you can restore all the configured parameters with the command build.restore.
- You can prepare the energy transfer program used to complete the Skidbladnir before starting the submarine's build.
```
build.exe
```

Étape 4 : Completing the Skidbladnir

Once the Skidbladnir built, you still have to supply it with a huge energy quantity from the Megascan to complete its build.

Preparing the energy transfer program

Open the energy transfer program.
```
transm
```
Set the program in 'Combine' mode.
```
transm.mode.combine
```

Select 4 towers you have already scanned and which are on a surface sector.

transm.to.<Sector>.<NumTower> (x4)
transm.to.mountain.1 (example)

Send the energy to the Skidbladnir

You must have entered the build.exe command to terminate the Skidbladnir build.

Target the Skidbladnir with the energy transfer program.
```
transm.skid
```
Activate the 4 towers, in order to activate the Megascan and complete the Skidbladnir's build.
```
transm.exe
```
