I still had notifications on for this comment thread lol.

But yeah, I miss Brick Islands. Brickograd is a decent replacement, but man Brick Islands was better. It felt so expansive. The three main cities, the two airports and the smaller little towns. The overhead railway and the streetlights were also a bonus, along with the dock/port areas.

I don't care much for many other mods (except for the remastered skies mod), but if there was one mod I could have it would be the islands. Rip indeed

Oh, let me not forget, it did all of that without any lag, unlike brickhaven which made my pc do a nuclear meltdown multiple times.

Exactly why i loved it. Like, cars are basically useless in vanilla except for canyon since everything is in walking distance basically. On brick islands, you could’ve gone on a roadtrip, bring your boat, or even go on a holiday by plane or train while not feeling like you traveled only a few meters, and you would still have a city or some civilization nearby unlike canyon. Brickogorsk kindof replicates this, as it has an airport, train tracks and even a body of water of some sorts, but the Brick Islands map did it on a larger scale and better. Still, brickogorsk is a good map, but Brick Islands made you feel like you actually got somewhere when you used any form of transport. That’s the biggest reason why I loved it so much.

on this map every single mode of transportation had a use, in the base game you only have a tiny bit of water on a single map

relatable

yes.

it didn't deserve to die.

yeah that too, but brick islands was personally 10x better. it didnt lag at all. just sad

also rip the largest map in BR brickhaven

1.6 changed the way custom maps worked within the game. Instead of being .Pak files they switched over to being another file type and installation method. The installation method isn't a huge problem as the file simply needs to be moved to a different location to allow it to work

The real issue however is that you need the Dev tools to allow the maps to be ported. This requires permission from Fluppi himself. Only trusted members/users are allowed access.

Because of these changes, Brick Islands (And other maps) are no longer compatible with the current game version.

Brick Islands may get updated in the future, but who knows. All I know is that it's a lot harder for newbies to create maps.

What happened to it?

Personally, best map ever. Also wanted to get into modding, i stuck to building instead tho

R.I.P Brick Islands.

I used that map quite a lot too. It was one of the only modded maps I had for a while, besides Bricksdale Speedway.

I tried to get into map making myself, but the way to mod them has changed now. You need Fluppi's permission and his files to port them over.
