Go West, Young Man

Go West, Young Man Introduction

Welcome to the West... a map designed to showcase the natural beauty and diversity that the American West has. Manifest destiny awaits you, young traveler. Tons of highly detailed feature areas. Most are not pictured in the thumbnails to maintain the surprise.

This map was inspired by locations and features from the American West such as Lassen Volcanic National Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park. The map is entirely fictionalized and does not represent any real world locations directly. Any similarities to real life locations are based on my own experience, and not any specific real life detailing.

This map is best played with the 81 tile mod, since some excellent buildable areas are located just outside of the 25 tiles. The unlimited trees mod is also required since the tree count is just over 300k. There is a one click collection with all assets used in this map.

This map includes 4 hydroelectric dams throughout the map if you want to access some easy energy, however none of them are available from the start tile.

All interchanges are hand drawn. There are zero workshop plopped intersections on this map. Any similarities to existing intersections / interchanges is coincidental (honestly, there are only so many ways an interchange can be created), although several inspirations were achieved through hours of searching google images of real world intersections. Traffic manager is recommended but not required, as all interchanges work properly, but the AI can sometimes be stupid in this game.

I hope you enjoy my map. I spent 2 months working on this, and although there are undoubtedly some kinks, I feel it is good to go. Please leave a comment and a like, as well as a link to any footage you use if you record a playthrough.

Final notes

For gameplay on all 81 tiles, please subscribe to 81 Tiles mod by BloodyPenguin.

There are a couple of small detailed areas that use fences from CS: Industries DLC. They are minor and 100% unnecessary to the enjoyment of the map and as such are not listed as a requirement.

I hope you enjoy my map. I spent 2 months working on this, and although there are undoubtedly some kinks, I feel it is good to go. If you encounter any errors or issues, please message me and I will try to fix the issue asap.
