Hello morcup, I made a little video where I follow a gravel transport over the map. It´s in German. But I thought it´s worth showing.

Best regards.

I love this map, relying on river transport is a really fun challenge.

lol, I thought it was a 3D map at the first sight

Yes I have been seeing your screenshots recently. They are excellent. I have never progressed as far in building on a single map as you. Seeing other people's construction on my maps helps me better understand how to improve future maps.

Looks nice. But I like the challenge.
I made a lot of screen shots the last few days.

I got the idea to remake this map, but I ended up making something that is a bit different. The new map is about 1/4 of the area of this map, and has better terrain resolution, so the slopes are not as stepped.

Wow that looks great, thanks for sharing.

Hello Murcup, I love your map.
Here is where I cross the river. I can post a few more later on.
I modified the map slightly. I moved the border a bit.
I started 1929. I am now in 1975.
The bridges are just finished.

Realy great job on the map i am currenlty in year 2007 and planing to go till 2050 if i can work the sewage system on existing save, 1 issue i encountered is the lack of bigger rail connections on exports and that bigger ships(modded) are getting stuck at export to NATO, but still realy great job

Best Mod in these time: Let's build a bridge!

I had a hard time figuring out this was Richland until I realised how far the Columbia drops between Hanford and Umatilla! That's all underwater here... the resulting flooded valley effect is strikingly like the Gulf Islands. Great work as always.

Yeah!) One more coolest map!) Thank you)

Thanks Duke Flapjack, glad you like it. I knew I had a winning map as soon as I loaded the heightmap in the terrain editor.
Share some pictures if you end up building anything on the map, I'm always interested to see how people make use of the land on my maps.

This is a damned good looking map. It is very clear to me you put some real heart and soul into it. Plus, it checks all my boxes:

1.) Rugged, yet still large patches of flat
2.) Highly concentrated resources that are in realistic areas
3.) Few customs crossings
4.) Navigable water

Very well done! I feel very bad for somewhat ignoring your previous maps.

The game was started on full hard mode. I've noticed this issue pretty soon, so not much time passed, I guess I'll try a do-over on your other map with basic infrastructure, I really do like your map!

That is a problem. I made a quick test game and passengers loaded just fine for me. Do you remember what game settings you started it with? I'm really not sure what could be causing that to happen. Maybe you could open a discussion on this workshop item and share some screenshots of your game start settings, and your bus routes.

I have some issues on this map. My buses won't pick up any workers / passengers. Not even construction office buses. I've tried different bus types, different platforms, it's the same. The buses only go in rounds. Tried your other map with infrastructure, on that one this issue doesn't present itself.

Well I've got some good news, I finished a version with basic infrastructure... roads, rails, and powerlines. I'm not sure I have the building skills to make a populated version worth sharing, but we'll see.
Here's the infrastructure version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2620395880

Looks fantastic! If you're considering making a populated version with some infrastructure, sign me up for support of the idea!

This one looks challenging. I like it )

This looks great! I think your maps are getting better. Meandring river with islands and cliffs should be very interesting to play.
