Build and Test a Custom Airship with Map Tracking
Assemble Your Airship
Construct your Create: Aeronautics airship using Create contraption blocks, rotators, and moving parts. The mod will automatically recognize any valid flying machine or moving structure you build, as long as it's assembled correctly according to Create's mechanics.
Verify Map Display
Once your airship is complete and you're piloting it:
1. Check that it appears on your minimap in the corner
2. Open the world map to see the full-scale representation
3. Pilot your ship and watch both maps update in real-time
4. Test turning and moving to confirm rotation tracking works
Optimization Tips
The mod handles massive contraptions smoothly, but keep these in mind:
- Very large ships may take slightly longer to render on the map
- Multiple ships flying simultaneously will each be tracked independently
- The map only tracks ships within your render distance
- Performance remains stable even with complex multi-ship operations
If your ship isn't appearing, ensure it's a valid Create contraption and you're close enough for it to load.
