The Titanic Mod brings people at one of the most detailed and accurate free 3D recreations of the Titanic ever made. It puts the player in a whole new storyline for the game Mafia.

Description
It looks like a Windows screensaver was set loose within this corridor.
Do these pipes lead anywhere and are they accurate? I don't know. There exists no documentation of the piping schemes. There could have been less, there could have been more. But they are not completely placed at random. For example, this location where they dissapear within the bulkhead, is where a fresh water tank is located. Some of these pipes lead upward and others go through the boiler room.
Just curious - do you know what most of these pipes were for? It seems like you can only have so many water pipes on a ship, so these must be for something entirely different?!
I used some knowledge and experience I have with real life ships. A relatively small yacht with a length of 13 meters already has the engine room cluttered with kilometers of pipes. Waste water alone had pipes coming from every direction. This mostly has to do with keeping the designated areas separate, having a bypass and maintaining pressure.
So in Titanic's case you can imagine that most of these pipes would lead up the accomodation area since it's fresh water, each pipe for each deck, and maybe in between a few manifolds that split each pipe into smaller areas on the ship such as for drinking fountains and the galley.
I'm impressed about how much actual knowledge about ship-building you put at work in this game design. I'm also most impressed by the original engineers, who had to plan this kind of labyrinth without having a computer or an "undo" button. Nicely done and thanks for the explanation!
This looks more like a horror hall.. haha
I constantly had the Amnesia port in my mind. Running around in these dark corridors with a monster chasing you. And solving a puzzle by finding the right pieces of pipe and placing them on the right position.
haha
This just gets better and better. :D
