reducing the interval1_0 to 0.001
and increasing interval3 sumwhat
for a compartment means that even a fatigued crew can operate it--but effeciency will still very very low -much lower than normal- so instead of the engines stopping altogether because the crew is tired- it keeps going but any repairs etc are of course even more long term prospects--

so this way you get both fatigue and long repair times--
hopefully he's still experimenting with it to balance out the pros and cons--

i'm sure observer and crew are working on it allso--
there may allso be lots of spin offs from this approach
Here is one tiny spin off. Because of your observation re the difference between the Intervals 1 and 3, I started hoping both could be had and started mucking around with crew settings a bit. I noted in http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=85656
that there was some confusion about FATIGUE_COEF

Here is what I found that differs...

RegularFactor#0 is an ANYTIME fatigue hit for moving crew into the compartment, not just when surfaced.

RegularFactor#1 is not known, but I have an idea on flushing it out.

I am going to play with the settings below for a while. Sooner or later the trigger will occur and I will have a fatigue bomb that will wipe out everyone but Damage Control and Aft Torps. Hopefully I will at least have a clue what caused it If someone else wants to booby trap but exclude different compartments it may lead to a discovery sooner. It could be a damaged compartment modifer or something like that. Knowing it would likely be useful.

;RegularFactor#1 = unknown - waiting...

RegularFactor11=0.4;R/S
RegularFactor21=0.4;Cmd
