amazing mod

so rad

Thanks for explaining this. Just shows how much goes into these projects. Great job by the way!

Because file wise it's not an overlay, it's the entire map. The game can only override the map, can't overlay something on top. So I had to overlay it on top manually, then save it as a file replacement.

And it has to support very high levels of zoom, so it's very high resolution. Some map mods go over 200mbs, so I think 67 was pretty good.

Might sound like a weird question but why is the file size 67 mbs for a map overlay?

Should work exactly the same as the normal map, as it's just an image swap. There is no code or other data in the mod, just an image.

If you're encountering issues, they must either be another mod, a vanilla bug, or a local issue with your computer or mouse.

how do i zoom in and out of this map? Doesn't seem to work with just scrolling

Back in the day, most people in the community called them "biomes" anyway. Not to mention that the game used to refer to them as such. I was just repeating the pattern.

Nowadays if I wanted to be technically accurate, I could call it a Spawn Area map. But that would just confuse people, because they'd have no clue what I was talking about. :P

I agree. The name is misleading. It says "biome" but it's just a territory map. If you had put colors in that corresponded to environment then that would have made more sense. Maybe use a striping system. One stripe for rain and the other for fertility and maybe another for mineral resources.

Anyway, thanks.

Ahh so it's not a biome map then, just a region map. Gotcha.

The colours themselves mean nothing. Just a way to differentiate the regions from each other.

The names are the important part. And both them and the coloured regions are visible at all times.

uhh so is there a way to tell the meaning of the colors? without exploring?

Sure, go ahead.

Unfortunately, that's simply not possible. But the alternate version in the description is easier to stuff on, might try it.

Like the idea but I wish I could toggle the overlay on and off because it makes it hard to seed landmarks

don't make any change...

Yeah, sounds like a corrupted download. Probably some issue on Steam's end. Glad you got it working though. :)

Nevermind I'm a complete tool, just had to unsubscribe and subscribe back

Just started up the game today and the island on the map is invisible while all the location icons could still be seen, I've tried disabling and re-enabling the mod and that doesn't seem to help and I can't seem to find anything about it online, is there anything I can do? :(

Is there a option to toggle between normal map and this map while in game ?

I was sure at the time I was there but I'll double check next time I can. Not a big deal, I could very well have just read it wrong. Thanks. It is a nice mod.

You sure? The one called The Eye has the giant machine known as an Eye. While the one called Gut is home to countless Gutters (Beak Things).

Given the method I used to make the maps, I can't imagine I got it wrong. Otherwise all of them would be wrong...

I think the area called the Eye is mixed up with the one beside it Gut.

@Dnels4 - ^^^ Look up there ^^^ ;)

I wish there wasnt colors, i like seeing the colors of the terrain but these colors just hide everything.

I wish this was a toggle. Right there at the bottom would be nice. Also, why are people alt-tabbing? You can shift-tab and use the steam browser.

Is it just me or it would be best described as a region map not a biome map. Biomes are green, swamp, etc...

Yeah I just had one linked to me, thank you!

I could, but I won't. There are plenty of cheat map mods out there to unlock all locations on the map in-game. For example: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1525090768

Can you possibly add cities to the overlay? It would help a lot, I hate tabbing out to the wiki.

thanks!!!

Thank you Shidan and keep up the good work dude !

pretty awesome my dude

Yes, this has no effect on the locations you have or have not found. Simply shows the biomes. :)

Hi all , will I keep all the cities I have already discovered if I download this beautiful map ?
TY Shidan for sharing !

Nah, they mean nothing. It's simply the colour scheme the files use to determine borders, which I left in because it seems it's fairly popular. :)

A very colorfull map. Do the colors acualy mean anything or just to help see the borders?

Thanks !!

@Kenta Nagoya - Non-Coloured version released, Link in description. :)

Yay! the colours are back!

Working on a non-colour version right now that I'll be uploading separately. Since that's my preference as well. But I figure the main mod should stay colour.

I prefer the previous version. Could it be possible for the colors to be option ?

Cheers Shidan, honestly the subtle colours are a much better fit for a map vs. gigantic black borders (this is entirely my own opinion though) but glad you listen to your subscribers!

Alright, since there seems to be quite a demand for it, I'll be readding the colour map (with a slight tweak to better define the borders of biomes). It occurs to me that anyone who was using this map over the others like Spoon's was probably here because this was the style of map they preferred, and I shouldn't change that.

Hope you all enjoy! And let me know how you like it. :)

I got on today and realized the map with all the colours is gone ;(.... and now i hate looking at the map

Keep up the good work

I still think the disclaimer at the bottom of this description is an extreme self-disservice. There are times when readability is more important than "superior graphics". As in maps of dangerous lands. That's really where the old colored map held up, and even the one in the current picture above.

Readability.

Thanks man.

@Shidan Aww the colorful map is gone :( any chance of making it an option?

SE area updated! ;)
