Notes:
This is my first piece of published work for Stormworks, so expect a few mistakes here and there. Please report them as you find them! Also constructive criticism/feedback is welcome and requested. I built this basically as a "playset" with no particular focus in any one single area, but an overall general capability. Admittedly, it is slightly better suited for salvage/recovery work overall. I have released this project as-is due to framerates dropping to 1-2 FPS while working on the logic, features may be added/adjusted later on. Project was initiated 2020/02/10, so over a year in the making, please enjoy!
