Mod also includes changes of MoraleMod.

Cooldown: 1 Min
Type: On/Off activation
Note: this is a first of my new active skills. You can let most of your crew to rest. Imagine they have a sunbath or fishing if surfaced and sleeping when submerged.
In submerged state it helps to preserve oxygen, because you consume less O2 when sleeping. IMHO, it`s not very unrealistic and doesn`t give insane bonuses for free. It can be useful in some rare situations - for example, when you need to spend long time underwater.

Known issues:
- you may want to start a new campaign - in previously started campaign CE skill(s) may work wrong. Other skills are OK though.
- efficiences in crew screen are messed (see picture below - arrows show correct efficiences). Effects of passive skills are shown wrong. But they work correctly - just dont look at these bars.



Any help and suggestions are welcome!
