Disclaimers

• I have searched the issue tracker to check if the issue has already been reported.
• My issue happened while using mods.

What happened?

NPCconversation SubmarineDeep flag triggers when the sub reaches crush depth, so you will never actually experience the conversation:

• the sub will just be completely breaking apart
• you always upgrade the sub to not be in crush depth

Barotrauma/Barotrauma/BarotraumaShared/SharedSource/Characters/AI/NPCConversation.cs

Lines 73 to 74 in fd34473

	var currentFlags = new List<Identifier>();
	if (Submarine.MainSub != null && Submarine.MainSub.AtDamageDepth) { currentFlags.Add("SubmarineDeep".ToIdentifier()); }

If it trigger in the abyss part of the map instead it would work

Reproduction steps

1. Go to crush depth
2. The goal of the game is to not go to crush depth
