@Boaty this and Waiheke are top. Check out Guadalope

Page after page been looking for a real good island map, I think I found one

Glad you like it!

Best map

Is there any more specific information of the error? With more specific information it could be possible to pinpoint the issue.

In any case, as always I encourage to do a double check in the content manager for all the required items (and sub-requirements) and make sure they're all active. Also some mods (not necessarily required for this map, but in any case) have broken recently and new versions of those mods have been released, so do make sure you're using the up to date versions of all mods to make sure there's not a broken mod trying to load. I hope this helps :)

when it loads it keeps saying error with the x and the trees never load

You can use the map without the mod too (meaning it will work), but you'll lose a lot of detailing due to not having tree collision disabled. Just how the game works :)

Prop & Tree Anarchy (use the new Tree Anarchy) is a mod that makes everysingle building in my world clip with trees and kinda annoying to remove

Prop & Tree Anarchy (use the new Tree Anarchy) and apparently the Custom Animation Loader is broken aswell, which is "required" for the pre-placed railway station. I think you don't actually "need" that mod for the railway station to work, it simply animates some bits of the station. Network Tiling has also been replaced with Network Anarchy.

I noticed you're supposedly a newer player, so understandably this might be a bit confusing if you're just starting to dabble into using mods, but I hope this information helps.

This map was released a little over a year ago, hence there are some broken mods in the collection. Unfortunately I haven't had time to update the collection, I probably should but then again most of old maps' collections are outdated namely because of the so called "mod apocalypse" that came late last year and changed the mod scene pretty heavily.

In other words, when using old maps (any old map), you have to be sort of on top of things as most collections contain outdated items which worked at the time of release but have since become incompatible with the current version of the game.

My game crashes every time I try to play the map. I subscribed to all the collections but it keep crashing help pls ;'(

Does sound like a bit of a hassle, but I'm glad to hear you found a satisfactory solution and got it working!

so, i tried a couple of things to get it to work immediately instead of waiting. initially i tried unlocking and replacing the tracks in the station, which didnt work as quickly as i wanted, so i reloaded the map (dear god why it took so long i have so many mods help me it is a problem) and instead just used move it to delete the station entirely, along with both ports, and replaced them on my own, and folks rocked up pretty quickly thereafter. i used freeform tool on the tracks into the station to get the same look and it worked out pretty well. its an incredible map and im well on my way into a sick city on it. thanks again for the reply.

Hi!

Firstly, are you using the loading screen mod? If not, definitely subscribe to it, it's an absolutely essential mod for the game. If you're not using it, the loading can take ridiculous amounts of time. I remember some years ago before I got the mod myself, I used to wait for 15-20 minutes for a map to load up. I believe this is the latest, up-to-date version of the mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2858591409&searchtext=loading+screen

Secondly, double check that all the mods and assets are actually active, although missing a mod or an asset should not cause an infinite loading screen, instead you'd probably be experiencing some other issues once the map loads up.

I hope this helps :)

hello! i've downloaded all of the necessary mods yet when i try to open the map it just gets stuck in the loading screen forever, how can this be solved? thanks :)

Also, if you want to "skip ahead" or use a fail-safe method, there's always the option of building a highway tunnel underwater. It serves the same purpose as a bridge would, but you can hide it so it won't hurt the aesthetics like a bridge would. I thought about laying out a tunnel as a default on the map, but as I considered the map strongly a modder's map, I figured people who play on it will certainly be able to do it their liking if need be too.

I hope I answered your question adequately

I never looked into actual in game time for how long it takes, but it can be an absurdly long time. I think I ran the map for around 10-20 minutes at maximum sim speed before the train station got any activity. Note that I also mass-built the island at the same time with setting all demands to maximum with a mod to be able to mass build quickly, just so I could test the functionality of the train station as fast as possible, as I think there might be some prerequisites for train activity in terms of the city size / demand levels.

If I were you, I'd do the same testing that I have done, just to double check and test the map out to be 100% sure it will start functioning as intended before then starting an actual build on it on a new save.

how long on average does it usually take for cims to rock up to the train station? its been like several in game months with power, water, and buildings zoned. i dont wanna build out my city till i know it works, i could always replace it with a bridge or something but it looks so good i dont wanna get rid of it, and i could NEVER equal the rail infrustrucure with any bridge id ever build lol

Always really appreciated when people take the time to post their solutions to any issues here, as it serves as a reference for others who might have the same issue at some point. So thanks for sharing!
Also thank you for the kind words! Really happy to hear you've experimented with various LUTs and themes, as I often encourage people to experiment to find whatever mix they like the best! Have fun with the map :)

This map is wonderful, by the way. Stunning when mixing Reaper's Realistic LUTs, Daylight Classic+Relight, and some New Caledonia/Revi/TDW themes mixed in. Great work

Yes--I posted on here in case it had something to do with the assets or networks on this map, as I could not reproduce the issue on any other New Games on other maps or loading saves from other maps. Run simulation option in Loading Screen mod Options menu solved it. Thanks

@ErraticNob2, It takes quite a bit of time for the ships and trains to arrive (possibly multiple in-game days) and what you're encountering is likely just the way the game behaves on the map. Due to the gameplay mechanics on this map I recommend the use of mods on the map, as mentioned in the description. In any case, if you're not getting any incoming activity even after a long wait, you can always connect the main island to the highways via a tunnel for example (this requires mods though, obviously) and this way allow a direct outside traffic connection. I hope this helps :) Apologies for the delayed response!

@MoizesBrando, That's an error I have not heard of before, did I understand correctly that you managed to solve it with the loading screen mod already though? If so, great! I'd suspect the issue must've had something to do with some assets no loading correctly.

i fixed this with loading screen mod > resolve simulation errors

output log(expires in 7 days): https://easyupload.io/rkj63h

and a bunch of this: C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/DebugBindings.gen.cpp Line: 51)

I cannot load this map. From one map to the next, this is the only one not loading. My output log is full of:

(Filename: Line: 504)

d3d11: failed to create 2D texture ...

I'm having trouble starting the my save. The problem is no one is moving in, no matter what I do. How should I fix this?

Have you given the trains plenty of time to start coming in and out? I playtested the map back before I uploaded it and found that it took a really long time to start getting trains in. It probably requires a population / demand threshold for the trains to start using the stations, which can admittedly be tricky starting out with just the train station. Which is actually why I really emphasize that this map is more for the people who run a lot of mods and are perhaps more interested in building a city rather than playing the game per se.

I don't think the train station you've placed makes a difference, so I wouldn't worry about that. You could perhaps test it out by saving the game and for just testing purposes, push your population and demands up at max game speed to find out if it really is broken or if it just takes an absurdly long time. I hope this helps! I hope to hear you get the issue figured out.

I love the map but No one is using the train station. No one comes in or out of it. Is there a fix? I didnt move anything. Placed a train station opposite side, connected rail and was able to add a line but no outside connections.

Glad to hear you got it figured out already and apparently in a relatively short time too! Also thank you for sharing the solution here as well, in case someone else comes across the same issue. Have fun building!

Ok, I figured it out. I used the Loading Screen Mod's safe mode (located in the mod settings), Save Our Saves, and Safenets to get the game to load. After that, everything worked as it should

Has anyone else been having problems using this map on P&P? For some reason, I am unable to start a new game with this map, as it just sits on the loading screen eternally. I have disabled all my other mods besides the required ones, and yet when checking log files, I still get a NullReferenceException error. Any ideas?

Yes, you must subscribe to all the items in the one click collection. You can subscribe to everything easily by clicking the subscribe to all option in the one click collection.

why still can not open the map when i have subscribe the Ability to Read. Is that needs to subscribe all of the mods,themes and assets mentioned in the description？

oh ok thx

Technically anything can be stolen. In imgur though, you don't have to publish the images to the community, you can just create a link and the images will stay hidden, only accessible via the link you've created, which is only known to you. So in practice you'll have a very hard time finding the images in imgur, it would be a lot easier to just grab them from this page and re-upload them yourself.

ok thx but if u put images on imgur wont people steal it from there

@N - Gaming,
I'd rather not see you use it. Once I give permission to one person, people will start taking liberties using it (eventually without crediting whatsoever) which I don't want to see. I understand that you'd give me credit and I respect that, truly, but I hope you understand the point I'm making here. :)

@Hax,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the map. I can assure you, the errors and missing assets are not to blame on the map. Double check that you've actually set every required item active in the content manager in-game and make sure you're not using any mods that are incompatible with each other.

Worse map of all time... constant errors and tons of missing assets. Useless!

and also please can i use your like gif i will credit u when i use it

ohhh ok about the artwork but involving the transparent problem is it about editing the image's hex using a online hex editor i found a guide

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2175748848

With transparent images there was some trick you had to use, I cant remember how exactly it was done. There's a guide on it on the web though!

They might have to be public, I'm not entirely sure (regarding the artwork). Make sure the link you're trying to use looks something like this;

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1234567890123456789012345678901234567890/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

You have to use the link to the image only, not the artwork page. So open the artwork into it's own window and take the link from there :)

and also the transparent images are not working

ok i have run into a problem i am using the steam artwork method but whenever i put the link it shows a small image sign but not the image also the artwork method i am using the images r private??

ok thx

I've used both. Mostly I use imgur.

Thank you this is a very unique idea also which one do u prefer the steam artwork one or the image gur one

You're welcome! You can upload any image or gif into steam as artwork.

To upload artwork:
1. Go to your steam profile
2. Click on "Artwork" on the left side of the screen (found along with the options of screenshots, games, etc.)
3. Top right hand corner of your screen, click "Upload artwork".

I'm sure there are some guides on the web as well if you need closer instructions :)
