help getting my fixed engines running again?

[ccruner13]

what do i change on here to get my engines to give me power. everything is listed as fixed in my dc area. my save file says my hull is damaged 22%. i didnt take any bulkhead damage but i cant submerge to even PD. these are my engine info lines from the save file which took me forever to find because they 1. dont save by name given in game and 2. dont fricken save in order either. this save was 0000001b while a save from yesterday was 00000019 and a save from march is 00000005. so here is my engine data from the save.

(im in s18)

this was also damaged. at least it says i used hitpoints but it also says it has remaining repair time. i say again everything was stated as repaired. anyones help is greatly appreciated.

1) Open small panel at back of engine.

2) Push fuel primer button.

3) Pull rope...REAL HARD.

Sorry, couldn't resist. It's one of those weird days.

heh good one ill kick it around some too

just to update after i burned through about 18 hours on tc i saved again and the numbers changed so i did it for some more time but they are stuck at these

each engine respectively
RemainingRepairTime=0000-00-00 00:01:17
RemainingRepairTime=0000-00-00 00:17:50

and the radar
RemainingRepairTime=0000--88--70 23:56:54
which never worked in the first place....

so from my end it seems DC is way more f'ed up than we imagined?

batteries:
RemainingRepairTime=0000--88--70 23:57:44

radio receiver
RemainingRepairTime=0000-00-00 00:05:49

hydraulic pump
RemainingRepairTime=0000--88--70 23:57:48

compressor
RemainingRepairTime=0000--88--70 23:57:22

main pump
RemainingRepairTime=0000--88--70 23:57:10

except i just received radio messages...my rudder works dunno if thats hydraulics, my water 'got pumped out' according to visuals in DC but my ass end sinks and pulls me down at PD, and i use the compressor to blow balast when i do submerge. so....can anyone explain?

mm says my control room bulkhead has a repair time as well as my control room 'compartment' itself...maybe thats why i sink too.

what a mess



aaand setting the times to zero doesnt do anything...
