Tampere (Finland) Mass Transit

Description
Welcome to Tampere !

This map is based on the city of Tampere in Finland and its surroundings. As the heightmap in this region is not available on terrain.party, I made a custom one, based on the map of the city and a relief map that i found so it's not a perfect recreation but the scale and general height are pretty accurate and that's what matters.

All the networks (highway, interchange, train tracks, and plan and ship pathways) are copies of reality made with the
Image Overlay mod.

I only use 2 workshop items : the 2 trees I used on this map.

You can find my collection for this map here but you can just download the 3 items listed on the right and you will be good to go.


Map theme and LUT

This map has a temperate environment.
For the visual aspect i’ve made a theme mix that you can find here

(You will need to subscribe to the Theme mixer 2 mod and the themes that are list with my theme mix)

I use Ultimate Eyecandy mod with the Laviante LUT, you can see my settings on one of the background images of this post.


Gameplay

This map is designed to be playable, you will only need to subscribe to the 2 trees i used and own the Mass transit DLC.

There is very little to no high terrain on this map so you can build everywhere apart from the water.
I highly encourage you to use the 81 tiles mod so you can make use of the land and the highway network properly.

You should also always play TM:PE (Traffic Manager: President Edition) mod, it's very useful for the set up of roundabout or highway interchanges.

If you are interested in the realistic visual aspect of the game, you can alose check out the Node controller mod and the intersection marking tool mod for better looking interactions.


First tile
The first tile is a bit off center and has access to 2 different highway connections, i recommend to not connect them at the start of your game if you don't want to be flooded with traffic. The first tile is the place of connection between 2 train lines and you have access to 1 ship path.

Utilities
No pre-build infrastructure of any kind.
The map height does not enable wind turbines as a power source but the advanced wind turbines that have to be placed on water are fine since there is a lot of water.
The only place where you can set-up a hydro power plant is at the junction of the 2 lakes as it is IRL.

Network outside connections
  • 4 Highways
  • 4 Train
  • 2 Air pathway
  • 2 Ship pathway

Trees
I tried to not use too many trees on this map for performance issues, so I did put enough for it to look really nice from afar so if you think that the forests are not furnished enough from up close, you can add more along your exploration of the map.

Ressources
The map is equally covered with water/oil/fertile land/ore/forest so it is perfectly suitable for all type of industry.
The ground is mostly farming and forest but there are more located spots for oil and ore.



I'd like to thank the creators of the assets and mod I used on and for this map.
And BonBonB for his tutorial on Youtube on how to post on the workshop, because it was needed.

This is my first map creation so I welcome any feedback :)

No Next2 is not required anymore, you need to own the Mass Transit DLC instead.

What a nice map with really unusual highway setting.

It's a nice looking map, but using Network Extensions 2 kind of scares me away from this because it's no longer maintained. Any future patch risks breaking this map because of that, though it seems to have survived the most recent one.

Sorry, it should work know

The collection of your map is not working. When I open it says: The item is either marked as hidden or you do not have permission to view it.
