A chill build map at sunset. There's actual sand in this box!

"Blocksand" seeks to be a minimalist build map with everything you need to test creative builds. Most of the ground is flat and expansive with a tall skybox, a requirement for all good build maps. The sunset lighting provides a light level that doesn't require light to see, yet allows you to test things like headlights. Right around spawn are some ramps, empty buildings, and build platforms with north indicated. Fairly standard. The buildings aren't lit inside so its easy to tell which are occupied (when someone adds light) or not at a glance, with one exception being the building with the realtime mirror inside. If you want to build and test long vehicles, several PHX gauge rails are in the corner of the map along with a few lots. Off to the east is a huge pool for your water builds, and even ramps in case anyone wants to make an amphibious vehicle. Need an elevated location? There's tower frames off to the south. A simple racing path around the central area is marked by blocks, with the starting "line" facing north. On this map, all builders should be able to find their spot.

This map was created since I couldn't find the perfect balance of minimalism, water, and size from other typical build maps. Plus, I like the void desert look.

Feel free to suggest something, but keep in mind I'm trying to keep this map very simple.
