Magazine Module question

[FKL 1982]

Could someone (knowledgable, not just guessing) please explain exactly how the magazine module mechanic works please?

@admin @Ink Perhaps you could give us a definitive answer?

although no one knows where the magazine is, its totally unknown for the captain of the ship

Some ships are known to be located directly under main mast, some are under rear mast. Some people know where they are on all ships and how to start fires with one broadside... right, Ram Dinark? heh

so you say i should buy all the books about ships of age of sail and study the plans on the ships ingame to know where it is? instead of something ingame can show it beautifully? i think you're correct

Fire + Red Magazine = Kaboom!

No one really knows. It's one of those things that is left obscure. No X-Ray view of the ship to see the inner workings. We guess mechanics here.

I always check the bathroom first if looking for a magazine. I wish I knew where it was on the ships as well.

Now let us see it.

That is the pic I am pretty sure the purple box was the magazine

Large vessels have more than one magazine. All guns have gunpowder. Ships with no guns have no gunpowder. Most warships main powder storage was under the waterline, but the multiple decks ones had additional storage per deck to supply the batteries.

It is rare to see multiple explosions in game but it can happen, as two different powder "rooms" ignite and explode.

If i recall, as an example, the Victory main magazine is fore bow under the water line with two additional at equal distance between masts - fore/main and main/aft.

I would believe most vessels will have it fore or aft under the water line. The Snow is a good example.

Getting off topic here somewhat, the question relates to the actual in-game mechanic

I think he means on some ships you can use free cam to find the magazine, it used to be a cannon model inside the ship. I dont know if that changed at all though
