The Engine Room

The engine room is the main space for the ship’s propulsion power. Here is where you have to decide how big the propulsion system is, how many people are needed to be in the space at all times or how often they have to check on the machinery in the space. (I would recommend at least once a day since this is such a necessary system and computer readings aren’t always accurate. Having someone manually check the gauges daily or hourly although a computer system likely monitors the system may seem redundant but catching a problem or discrepancy fast can mean the difference between a smooth or hours of blackout or not being able to move while they try to figure out why the system won’t operate. Besides, almost everything the military does concerning maintenance is redundant. That’s why things operate so long in the military.)
Also in this room is electrical power system on the ship and you need to decide the specifics on this system as well. Many ships have all the parts of each system in one huge room but with the right machinery you can put it in many rooms or two rooms. On ships with the systems in two rooms, the second room is often called the fire room. Another thing to think about when dealing with power systems is that they give off a lot of heat. If you want to use that heat somehow, such as geothermal energy, it’s helpful but you will likely need a cooling system of some sort to protect the nearby metal or machinery.
