Public beta
BTCMedical
A brass-and-copper patient scanner with a moving scan band, live injury map, colour-changing anatomy and affliction tooltips. Open it from the normal health window; treatment stays with Barotrauma’s native controls.

A playable beginning.
A much bigger destination.
The first beta is on Steam Workshop. It includes BTCMedical, Touring Company’s interface and welcome, Steamhand clothing, seven metal background-wall replacements and a copper outpost-reactor treatment. The entire game has not yet been converted.
Briana directs scope, visual decisions, priorities, in-game review and beta approval. AI-assisted art, implementation and production support contribute to the work; this is not a claim of sole manual authorship.
The component map
All part of BTC.
Public beta
Touring Company & interface
The company’s identity, main-menu artwork, brass UI treatments and recorded captain’s welcome. No new crew are automatically hired or spawned, and this is not a conversational-AI service.
Public beta + development
Interiors & Steamhand clothing
Seven metal background-wall replacements and Steamhand assistant clothing are in the beta. Five new cosmetic wall-cladding finishes are being tested separately.
Public beta + development
Engineering & helm
The outpost reactor wears copper pipework and emits visual steam. Submarine reactor replacements and the new helm remain in development; native operation is retained.
Private sea trials
The Brass Nautilus
Our intended eight-person touring submarine. Layout, equipment placement, wiring and crew navigation are still being tested before it can be called tour-ready.
Art prototypes · working name
Steampunk Water Reavers
A darker visual branch within BTC: distressed metal, patina, ritual markings and scavenged details. Not a separate finished mod, and not included in the standard-steampunk beta.
Keep the boundaries clear.
- The copper pressure vessel replaces the
outpostreactorappearance, not every submarine reactor and not its gameplay tier. - The new helm, five cladding finishes, Water Reaver variants and completed eight-person Brass Nautilus are not included in the current standard beta.
- Normal crew behaviour is retained. Neither automatic crew recruitment nor a live conversational AI system is supplied.
- No separate menu-animation installer or modified game executable is distributed with this Workshop package.
Scripted features require LuaCsForBarotrauma client-side C# support. Follow the current dependency instructions and the Workshop listing. Linux, macOS and multiplayer have not been runtime-verified for this project’s current build.
The production rhythm
Build. Test.
Then welcome aboard.
Expand one coherent world through tested beta updates. Alternate art treatments remain optional development branches; they do not hold every standard-steampunk update hostage.
