Alright, with that out of the way;

Please leave any bugs you find as a message in the comments.

This is a work in progress, I've singlehandedly created this map on my own, I learned many things but in order to progress, I need your help.

Have you ever felt like some of the Stranded maps are lacking in the effort department?

I have, I always felt it would be more interesting with a varied landscape, that it would be fun if NPC's were spawning to populate the world. I felt like a sense of life and danger without other players would spice up the gameplay a bit. There are huge cave systems that connect completely different areas. The whole map is a loop, you can start in one spot, pick a direction and keep walking till you're back where you began.

There are secrets! Two of them, one is quite easy to discover, the other is quite easy to miss, they are playable areas.

I aimed to use only vanilla assets to create a world that's both interesting to explore and rather light on your system. It's varied in height and depth, in scenery and vibes. I built this map with the idea that it would be hosting up to 6 players in Stranded Survival, with enough content and complexity to provide fun gameplay. This has yet to be fully tested and studied with this being my very first release.

I spent 4 months working on this project; I've gone through many iterations and designs, I've learned many things on my own but in order to progress; I need your input. :D

Introducing Hollow Mountain! WIP

You are able to walk to any point on the map, without jumping you should be able to reach the highest point and you should be able to reach the bottom of the map by walking.

why is this map at sunset but the npcs version is in daytime? is there any reason for them being different?

Holy shit, this map is actually fantastic. I hope to use this for events on my Star Wars RP server.
It's a lot bigger than I expected and honestly no problems with it. I would love to see more similar styled maps. Maybe one set in a snow/ice landscape.. one in a forest and so on. Really love it, keep it up.
