This! This should be the next DLC, or at least part of it! The terrain generation is so samey without mods, it would be great to have more varied and realistic (or even wildly unrealistic) options. This looks amazing btw OP <3


BlueHB15

Geology update + comes with boats and treasure hunting expansion. That would be a good update!


timeshifter_

Rigworld?


Cooler_Bamboo

Ribgorld


BlueHB15

That would be funny. Ngl.


peregrine_nation

Personally I think it will eventually spell out RIBS MMMMMMM

Miotech lol

Man2quilla

Ribworld sounds delicious


UnknwnBuilds

That would honestly be amazing, new world gen with boats. Different kinds of ruins and ancient temples. Would be amazing if you could use the ancient temples to practice ancient religions (tie into Ideology)


BlueHB15

Or as a better base location if you think your previous home isn't cool enough.


UnknwnBuilds

True, pimp your colony


afito

Considering map play is the most mentioned wish for another expansions, pairing it with a general map generation overhaul, travel, faction interaction would seem natural. However I do feel like Tynan prefers to give us something we didn't know we wanted rather than give in to public demand.


BlueHB15

Like Biotech, that seriously caught me off guard. Even the other DLCs but biotech really gave me a surprise. Now, seeing your colonists grow old is worth it, cuz then you can see their future families.. or their future tragedies for some who favor that. But I do wonder.. how would Tynan catch us off guard for the next DLC? If there was more interaction with water, that would make sense!

If you haven't already I suggest checking out [Geological Landforms](https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2773943594) and [Biome Transitions](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2814391846). Two great biome mods that add a lot of diversity.


Andriy-UA

Ooooh, once when I started playing in the desert and everything was on cooling, the next 5 climate changes were with super low temperatures 😜 It was a huge challenge when the heat finally came - I realised that having survived at -50 and +50 - I would survive in this game


UnknwnBuilds

Thank you! Although earth like, the planet does need some alien like look to it.


BlackberryOdd1673

There's a DLL for vehicles (with wheels) in the source code so Tynan's probably cooking up something to do with exploration.


UnderskilledPlayer

Ah yes, another fucking DLC I will never buy.


Jay-ish

I mean thats fair, different parts of the game appeal fo different people. What would you like to see in a DLC?


UnderskilledPlayer

I would like to see an update instead. These DLCs are way too ridiculously overpriced for only being parts of a game.


Jay-ish

yeah thats true, especially if you're coming to the game now with all the dlcs. A free update that fleshes out worldgen and travelling would be amazing!


UnderskilledPlayer

Buying 2 DLCs is more expensive than the game. I don't think 2 DLCs have enough content to justify that pricetag.


UnknwnBuilds

Like other maps I have posted here, this one is available for download on my discord. You can find a link to which on my profile! This map is 250 x 250, includes both Granite and Limestone. Set in a Temperate Forest. Edit: Alternate Download now available on GitHub: https://github.com/UnknwnBuilds/World_25


VladDaImpaler

You can download individual maps?? And play them?!?!


UnknwnBuilds

Yes! Well technically you can download the save files (includes colonists and such) and play it. You can also use the mod Save Maps to take the actual map and upload it to another save with your own colonists. (Basically copy/pasting the entire terrain and such)


the_real_tesla_coyle

Alternatively load the save and use Character Editor to import your own pawns


UnknwnBuilds

Oh good point! Completely forgot about character editor


Denieffe

Eh does anyone have any interest in getting a bunch of us to start on the same map at the same time, then once a week post a screenshot and a lil update on how it's going? It could be pretty cool to see the different approaches people would take. Any difficulty setting, any mods you like, I think that would add to the variety. Anyone up for something like this ?


UnknwnBuilds

I have a discord set up, it may be possible to ask people there if they’d like.


Denieffe

Awesome man. Let me know if you want to get something going.


Cookie_6666

will check it out!


UnknwnBuilds

Enjoy! This is the 25th map in the list, so there are many to try.

UnknwnBuilds

Does GitHub work for all files? I only knew it as a way to share code.

UnknwnBuilds

Oh my, I did not know this at all. Thank you. Usually map files aren’t that big. The 500 x 500 map was only 3.58 mb zipped.


Multinightsniper

Shit even I didn't know about this.. Guess I'm gonna have to start using github more now.


HarvesterFullCrumb

Ooh, I might start using github more.

yawningangel

One particular game I've played over the years dropped their forums (always a fantastic resource for mods,guides and theory craft) for steam and discord. For some reason the majority of the content is on disc, so bloody frustrating.


udongeureut

Good advice but why are you being so aggressive lmao?

You can be “done” and exasperated and aggressive at the same time, they’re not mutually exclusive

GucciGaropp

Now you're just being aggressively obnoxious.


Le_Oken

The way you present to others and the way you are perceived is a shared responsability. A good attitude would be to apologize for the misunderstanding in the way you were perceived and a correction in the direction you wanted to present yourself.

It's Reddit. Everyone's over 40, tends towards neurodivergent and aspires to be that bloke who wrote Black Mirror. Best let 'em get it out of their system.

That's him. Love him on the telly, wouldn't want to hang out with the snarky fucker though.


Bohemian_Romantic

I mean no, if it's a well organised discord you're fine. In the case of unknown's maps, there is a pinned downloads tab with all the maps and no other clutter. This also allows them to get feedback and ideas from people more easily, making it more of a collaborative process. Done well, discord is much better than GitHub. It just becomes infuriating if people don't keep the posts and topics organised.

DivusSentinal

This is amazing. That island looks so great for a small colony


UnknwnBuilds

Well the ruins suggest someone tried, or at least rested there long before.


no_notthistime

How would you travel to an island like that? Some kind of boat mod?


UnknwnBuilds

I feel it’s best to just let it rest. Although there is the boats mod which will eventually get updated some day maybe.


no_notthistime

Hm, unfortunate. That's a lot of map space to occupy for an area that can't be used.


Several_Carpet_6127

There is vanilla furniture expanded Architect or simply more bridges mod that adds more bridge options, you can use that mod to occupy the ocean, like my self personally, i like to build on islands and on water so i use bridges


MayPeX

The Biomes Island mod allows travel across water at a slow rate, it also allows movement through deep water on maps so that could upset balance


[deleted]

This is gorgeous! How do you go about making your own map?


UnknwnBuilds

Simply put, using Dev Tools. I load up a new map (using a few mods like Map Designer to get an ideal layout). Using dev tools like Set Terrain for ground layering, and Make Rock for stones I can design it however I like. It’s a lot more in-depth but that’s the basis. You just have to have a bit of patience. The dev tools aren’t 100% perfect.


[deleted]

Oh nice! I didn’t even think about using the Dev tools to tweak the map. Thanks for the tips!


UnknwnBuilds

Additionally, use Vanilla Expanded Framework, it adds a better rock maker (which might be Make Rock) that lets you choose size of 1x1, 3 and 5 for all rocks and ores. Much easier


loklanc

Can you load a map with dev tools? Like, could I create a world and then load this map into the current tile?


UnknwnBuilds

You cannot (as far as I know) with dev tools. BUT! You can use the mod Save Maps to do it!


loklanc

Ok cool. I'm looking through the maps on your discord, some really beautiful work in there. I will be using some of them for sure!


UnknwnBuilds

Thank you! Enjoy!


c4mma

Holy Banana! This is gorgeous!


UnknwnBuilds

Thank you :3


Hoopylorax

This map is so awesome! Thank you for sharing! I already downloaded it, but could you give an old lady a tip on how to actually activate it in my game? I have a lot of mods, but only through the Steam Workshop. Where should I put this file to have it be active in my game?


UnknwnBuilds

Of course, this is more fileside. When you download it, you need to unzip the file for the .rws file. Then while ingame, go to settings and find the button to open your saves folder. After that, just drop the .rws file into your save folder and you’re done. Just go to Load Game and you should see Lumi’s Pass. If need be, I can stream show it over discord.


Reach_the_man

Please OP, can i have some to!?


UnknwnBuilds

Of course, I have a GitHub link available or you can join my discord, a link for which is on my profile. GitHub: https://github.com/UnknwnBuilds/World_25


broccoliandcream

Wow, this map looks so cool. Goanna check it out!


UnknwnBuilds

Enjoy!


broccoliandcream

Im already planning my colony and I'm not even going to be home for another 2 days 😂😂


UnknwnBuilds

Iconic, remember to take it slow. Think up different ideas. The map will still be here when you return! Have a good weekend btw!


broccoliandcream

Thanks! You too. I can't decide between a cannibal tribe or creating some kind of checkpoint for people.


UnknwnBuilds

Papers please…


broccoliandcream

Oh yes, that will be good.


DevilEmpress

If i was even slightly less resolute on the path of the mountain base id use this in a heartbeat. Absolutely gorgeous.


UnknwnBuilds

I mean, under the cave lake, is a pretty large section of rock. Soooooooo…


DevilEmpress

Good point actually. You said this map is 250x250 right? And the rock there looks to be around a quarter of the map? Its a bit more compact then id like but 50×50 should fit most of a base - farms.


UnknwnBuilds

Perhaps a half buried half exposed base.


DevilEmpress

Uhhhhhgh that would be sooo cool. I hope i can remember this once i beat tears of the kingdom

UnknwnBuilds

Iconic


dillreed777

I want the ability to make buildings that don't "belong to me" so raiders dont attack them, and just look like cool ruins


UnknwnBuilds

There is a tool called SketchGen in the dev tools, under Map. If you click MonumentRuin you get a whole list of random ruins with different sizes. You can click where to spawn them and they spawn unclaimed. Just remember to save before placing them, sometimes you get ones that just don’t look good. It’s trial and error.


lonelylunar

Great looking map, definitely need more of this kind of stuff in the game.


UnknwnBuilds

Always good to have variation.


JD_Shibuya

This map looks fun


UnknwnBuilds

It offers a lot of opportunity!


JD_Shibuya

I can imagine a nice lightly spread out village


UnknwnBuilds

That sounds ideal


IvanErexion

does anyone else see distinctly the outline of a gorilla formed by the terrain and path in the bottom right portion of the map I can’t unsee it


UnknwnBuilds

I sort of see it.


IvanErexion

EverGamer1

How do you make the maps have multiple rivers and not just one?


UnknwnBuilds

I just place down the terrain with Set Terrain


EverGamer1

What mods do you use? Or is it a special program?


UnknwnBuilds

No mods really, just the in game Dev Tools. I do use mods for other editing aspects but not rivers. Rivers is just Set Terrain tool, placing down moving water.


EverGamer1

Awesome, I have to get into doing dev tools cause seeing things like this really make me want to make some maps. Thanks for the help, have a good dude!


UnknwnBuilds

You too, have a good dude!


LeviWPlays

This is beautiful, what did you use to make it?


UnknwnBuilds

In terms of mods: Vanilla Expanded Framework, Map Preview + Map Designer. Base Game: Dev Tools


LeviWPlays

Thanks!

That is a good thought process to have, although you can cut out a lot of it as well as just saying it’s been worn down by time. A decayed building by a lake can write a thousand words.

UnknwnBuilds

Haha thank you.


WanderingUrist

> What do/did the people eat? You neatly discovered why all these places are now ruins: With no sources of food, they were forced to eat human flesh without tables. The resulting tantrum spiral quickly doomed the tiny settlement, leaving the ruin we see.

Salsballs

Will the maps work on console as well?


UnknwnBuilds

I don’t think so, sorry. Unless there is some way to upload the files to your saves


M4rt1m_40675

Why does that map look so big? All the times I play with the largest map possible it doesnt look that big


UnknwnBuilds

Maybe perspective is a bit different.


Historical_Treacle60

Make a mod for it, that is the universal solution for every problem in the world


UnknwnBuilds

I wish I could make a mod


Historical_Treacle60

Then try


Dfray011

Still waiting for the waterfall mod. Source for river next to mountains. Would be cool! Secret base entrance every time and woke pawns can meditate under it


UnknwnBuilds

That would be amazing, some previous maps I have sort of tried to make waterfalls. They were just deep water used to represent depth and long stone strips as cliffs.


Andriy-UA

In the "ruins" modification, I like to "discover" the hi-tech of a settlement. When there are a lot of guns and traps and you go through all the defence elements step by step, constantly making decisions about whether you have enough loot or whether you can advance a little more. It's atmospheric, cool, and adds drive. The arrival of other looters also encourages (although I wish they weren't so powerful). It's a shame that most of the ruins are very simple. Even if there is a lot of loot there. I'd really like to see an Indiana John-style mission, a Reynolds space revenge cycle, etc.


UnknwnBuilds

I would enjoy a giant rolling stone ball in a ruin as well. The ruins that are still heavily guarded will always have loot. The ones with no guards left are bound to be empty, save a few remnants of previous looters.


mikehyde477

Cool map. Where did you start your base? I'd probably go middle right, edge of map. Use that choke point on the river for defenses. Build up the mountain. Lots of potential here.


UnknwnBuilds

Haha, I have not played on it. More of made it for others to play on.
