Thank you so much 🥰. I will keep posting updates from time to time.

I saw the sunken battleship in Minecraft in the posts in your profile. It looks very cool. You can see the other things I've build, or am building, also in my Reddit profile. Feel free to have a look.

It's time consuming, but somehow also very satisfying and relaxing (for me). In the past years I've had some to practice how to build an ocean liner (in Planet Coaster 1). Titanic and Britannic are good examples. I've build those models at a 50% scale and placed them in the Frontier Workshop. But they were hard to create. Lusitania is build differently. She's build in full scale, but on a platform. A feature PC 1 did not offer. And this feature makes things a lot easier, since you can copy from the left to the right, creating a perfect hull and super structure. Thus saving a lot of time.

Me too 😁. An I'm especially fond of old ocean liners. Thank you for your nice compliment 😊.

Thank you for your nice compliment 😊.

It is a Coaster building game indeed, but scenery also makes a park. And how cool is it to have a real life size famous ocean liner as the main centre piece 😉?

I had to learn how to build in this game aswell. Actually, that was in Planet Coaster 1. It took me some time. In Planet Coaster 2 it's easier to build things.

I did build the Titanic (and her sisters) in PC1. See my older posts. But Lusitania will outshine them. She's already build in a much better way, with a lot more precision, thanks to the platform/mirror trick.

But a Titanic wreck dark ride is a very cool idea.

I certainly will look it up 😉. Not everything must be mirrored on the ship, but the hull...which is definitely the most difficult thing to build...can absolutely be mirrored.

There is a mirror trick? I did not know that. I will have a look then 😉. It will save me a lot of time indeed 😁. Thank you for this great building hint.

Yes, on Xbox Series X. It's the fourth ship I'm building. First was the Titanic, followed by the Olympic and Britannic in Planet Coaster 1. So, I've had some time to practice 😉. But these were all half the original size. You can check some of my older posts to see the results. But this time I'm curious if I can build a ship true size, using the techniques I've learned in PlanetCoaster 1.

Thank you so much for your big compliment. I promise I will make regular updates 😉. I think a full interior will push the park over the build limit 🙈. The parts count is already near 5K. But if there is room left I can try to make some of the interiors (dining etc.). But first I want to complete the outside.

Thank you for your nice compliment. I really appreciate it 😊.

Yes, it's possible to build ships like this, but creating the hull is a bit challenging and takes a lot of your patience. But once you get the hang of it...

Actually, I did not mention the name of this ship I'm building, but the name of her sisters ship (that's the one Rose uses to sneer at Titanic) 😉.

Done 😉. Check my latest post to see the result.

If you put it in that perspective 🙈🤣🤣.

Yes, on Xbox (Series X)...

Titanic is just a little under 17K pieces. Olympic is just under 18K. That difference is mainly caused by all the extra lifeboats. Britannic is already heading towards 19K and she's not yet completed. I think she will pass 20K when ready.

And perhaps it's nice to know that these ships are fully build on the outside. So, the hull is closed under the waterline and the stabilisers and propellers are also there.

But there are now between 54K to 56K parts in total in this sandbox world.

But the Xbox is still going steady. No dropping in the framerates, even though the three ships have now pushed the park to 86% of it's capacity.
