MOST UP-TO-DATE WORLD FILE... http://www65.zippysh...89237/file.html

Hey Everyone,

Here's something I've been working on for months in creative, it's a HUGE world with vast oceans and many ships, all built to scale, 1 block = 1 meter and they are all sailable using the zeppelin mod.

Tell me what you think

Container ship and crane:


Ferry:


Oil terminal:


Research vessel and helicopter:


Fishing port:


Huge super yacht:


Survey ship and lighthouse:


The Scillonian III ferry (real ship - look it up ) :


Another container ship:


Amorella ferry (another real one) MASSSIVEEE:


Tell me what you think
I'll be keeping this one going as its sooo fun to build and its awesome to sail the ships between all my ports.

Thanks

George

I liked the research vessel the best out of all of them, nice work.

[kaiser czar]

Might have to agree with above; the research one seems best detailed relative to size.

I will say, it's not often you see people building in cloth and making it look good anymore. That's one of the things I miss from classic; people were actually good at using cloth, like you've done pretty well.

Wow Wow Wow!!!!! I Love these!!!!! Please post a world save!!!

Here is an overview using charts of the area I have already developed.



Here is the Port of Evamist shown in the centre of map 74:


And as you liked the research vessel I have taken some more shots of its different areas

Hey, the seed is 3595593994576635184

I was thinking of building more or a large town or city And building lots of them so there are lots of ferry routes and different industries spread all over the place.

Here is some of the other various ports that are scattered around the map. Most take half an hour so sail between.

Delta Base Camp - Research base on a desert island.


Lizard Bay logging port.


Lizard Bay oil depo.


Farros Island Resort - sunny and sandy.


Hanseatic Falls - approx 25000 block away from mainland, takes about 2 hours by boat


Thanks again please comment and plus 1

Hey George!
if you'd like we could put this map onto our new server, it's currently private, but if you put it on our server we could help you build a little town .
let me know bud.

Thats so cool! Thanks for the seed

[BikeLauncher]

They look great, but feel out of place.
It just feels kinda off that there's just these large industrial vessels coming into a harbour that doesn't really attach to any city.

[LSachetta]

Question: Do any of them work?

[Zuesian]

This is awesome, I do agree that there does need to be a city or at least a big port for the container ships. But its really cool.

Indeed!! All of them work, using the ship controller from the zeppelin mod, however the 160m ferry is very laggy as it is made from over 9000 blocks. I'll post some shots of them sailing.

Do not fear I'm in the process of expanding the ports and adding cranes and warehouses and eventually city buildings, however the places like the jungle logging port I'm going to keep fairly bare as I like the idea of sailing for miles to a jungle, loading some freshly cut logs and just leaving it how it was.... a jungle

More screenshots soon people

George

[georgem1000]

As promised, here are some screenshots of the ships moving using the zeppelin mod.

Ferry leaving Evamist bound for Grand Port.


Fishing boat arrives late at night with a full load of freshly caught fish (there are chest in the boat full of rods so you can actually fish)


Search and Rescue helicopter leaves in a hurry from Grand Port helipad


Pilot vessel speed out to meet a bulker ship carrying tonnes of coal and iron ore


And finally the survey and research ship back out of it's berth and heads for the deep blue to map new territory


Please comment and plus one if you like it, I'm currently in the process of developing the larger ports to make them look more urban. any suggestions?

Thanks again.

Okay here we go, starting to look a little better do you think? added some warehouses and more cranes. It's not much but it's a start to what will hopefully soon be a town what do you think?







Hope you like it

[Jrc4055]

Nice warehouses! Though the cranes in my opinion need a little more work.

here is some inspration

http://www.planetmin...rgo-dock-crane/

http://www.planetmin...ect/iron-crane/

Notice how all of these have big, ong booms booms (4x4x10 or larger) supported by cables(1x1). Thats probally what you need to change to make them look better

Also, have you seen Ships and boats mod? It has some cool effects like bobbing and submarines

This is really amazing, there are only a handful of people that can build modern builds so great yet compact, keep it up, I'm bookmarking this thread, I'd love to see the cities develop.
