@asteriks
Thats very nice of you. Hope to try it soon.

@Strossi

I've had this ready-ish for awhile, but I got super distracted "testing" it. It's hidden for now so you (and anyone else) can give it a try. It works, seems fun enough. Should address the concerns. Haven't set up the workshop description & info yet, either. Let me know what you think, feedback is appreciated - from you, and anyone.

@asteriks

The map is a blank slate, you really need to start the bypass routes sooner rather than later.

Ripped out the entire railway intersesction thing, the outside connections can be connected alongside the other side of the riverbanks.


My complaint is only that the initial intersection railroaded my city design and blocked progress until I managed to buy enough land for a bypass.

Consider having the railway travel detached from the highway and let the player create junctions where he deems needed.

Would also be great to have another outside connection coming from the East, from the dessert region.

@Strossi -

Take a look at the rail interchange used in the "less modified" version here .

It actually comes from a set from @Impact (IIRC)

Issues are:

- Hard to connect your rail lines to
- Rails get jammed on the intersections (they're too short and very tight, causing them to slow down)

@Strossi - I agree. I tried to keep as much as the original design as possible. but I do often end up tearing parts of it apart. It's also very road centric, if I'm being honest.

The bridges are their original heights, I didn't modify them.

The rail interchange was an attempt to...actually get it to work. It is a little silly, but it solves an additional problem where, even if I fixed the outside connections, rails could also get stuck there because there was no space for a 4 way rail interchange.

The entire highway system is designed to be used with a rail-and-highway network collection that has some issues with the rails being hard to connect to, having too tight of turns / short of connections / no bypasses (one connection point for SEVERAL directions).

I'll consider making a version that just makes it parallel, as sometimes that's what I end up doing on this map.

lovely map, but your main highway intersection is overengineered, I found that it makes it really hard to modify the train network etc.

Would be better if you simplified it somehow, the bridge is also silly.

Thank you!

@Alundra - sorry, @TheEventHorizon was asking about resource modifications, I thought it was about which highways/roads came with the map--I believe that would be Surface Painter (tangentially related) and Extra Landscaping Tools

@Alundra - It SHOULD have been Replace-our-Networks (RON)

What mod was that? It's a dead link and I'm curious. Wouldn't mind making my own flat map for fun (Love this map too though!).

@TheEventHorizon - I can't tell you why @Mulleboy may have done that.

Unfortunately, I can't make every variation of a map one could want. Thus, I recommend for map making, minimalism with then making your per-city, per-save changes based on YOUR build for each one's desires is preferable. Thus, try this mod:

Would love this if not for the annoying square resource tiles

Sweet! Can't wait to try this map out!! Thanks so much for updating it!

Love the original, use it quite often
