GLASS STRAND
A Vanilla Map by Steel

Quick Deets:

  • Vanilla map
  • Boreal theme
  • Mass Transit DLC required

About This Map:

Welcome to Glass Strand! This is a boreal themed map based on the Pacific Northwest. I'm still on CS1 due to being a Mac player so I decided to delve into mapmaking again. This is a coastal map with lots of little rivers coming down from the hills. I have tried to keep things simple and straightforward while giving vanilla players options for versatility and playability!

General Notes:

I have included significant amounts of every industrial resource, even oil despite there not being much oil in the PNW, as I enjoy being able to build all of the industries with the Industries DLC. I have placed about 240k trees which should leave some of available usage for the 250k tree limit in the base game. I would recommend an unlimited trees mod for this map. This map is not a 1:1, but the heightmap is loosely based off of the Fort Bragg area of the California coast.

Recommended Items:

This is a vanilla map so the only thing required to play is the Mass Transit DLC. However, to get the full value out of this map, I recommend a custom theme and LUT for better looks and the 81 tiles mod to maximize playability.

Recommended Theme: SCT-Homecoming by Raffa
Recommended LUT: Photorealistic by Reaper
Recommended Mods: 81 Tiles

Changelog:

July-14-2024: Added missing ramp on main interchange. Fixed some shoreline sand issues.

Last Notes:

I would love to see your builds on this map!

Much Love,
Steel

Been playing on this map for the past month. Thank you for creating a map that is light on existing highways that has actually interesting topography.

I terraformed a big part of the river and the water started flowing backwards to the drinking water, they only drank a little sh*t so don't worry to much. however bankrupting myself with a dam that never filled was a bit dum of me. I just removed the water sources in the map editor. all is good.

@Benjamin Jones: As far as I know, achievements work just fine with vanilla maps. Other mods may affect it.

@Gozer: Thank you! I'm not sure why it wouldn't appear, but you can also use Theme Mixer to apply themes and LUTs.

@1tt2t/simon: Not sure if you're being serious but placing multiple water sources is how mapmakers get rivers and water to flow correctly.

some water sources are placed in the middle of some rivers... I guess I'l drink shit!

@Steelwonder
Beautiful map, thanks!
I do have a question though: is some mod needed to apply your suggested theme?
The SCT-Homecoming doesn't appear as a choice on your map, while it appears on others.

Will steam achievements still work with this mod?

Thank you @icantthinkofaname and @2703938863 for your comments! I have also updated the map to fix an interchange and some other minor things.
