Description
The Desert Valley by Sidai

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General notes
This Map is based on the terrain of the town of Karamea, New Zealand and it's surroundings. The biome has obviously changed, also the rivers, lakes and the networks are not like in real life.

Map Collection
Please subscribe to all the assets in the collection BEFORE you start a new game. Also make sure that all Assets/Mods are enabled in the content manager of the game itself. For easy subscription click "Subscribe to all" in the following collection: The Desert Valley Map - all Required Items in one Click

Features
  • desert biome with oases
  • many small canyons
  • harbor area
  • some spots for hydro electric damn

It's best suited to play on all 81 Map Tiles, these are very detailed and optimized.


Notes on map themes
I specifically designed this map for the map theme "Springwood" by Ronyx69. The map theme is highly recommended, because the "Ore" Resource is used as Desert texture painting.

Notes on trees
Plopped around ~210k.

If you don't like subscribe to the trees, grass or filler patches, they just don't appear ingame.

Notes on Intersection Marking Tool and Node Controller
For extra level of detail the map includes settings and adaptions for Intersection Marking Tool and Node Controller. Those are purely optional, if you don't like or don't want to use one of those two (or both) Mods, the Map is fully functional (and still good looking) without them.

Ultimate Eyecandy

Notes on intersections and roads
I used the following premade intersections:

All credits go the the respective creators. Some intersections are slightly changed and all Mass Transit or Road Extension 2 dependencies are removed. You don't need to subscribe to these intersection workshop assets, they are only linked to worship and give credit to their creators.

Final notes
For gameplay on all 81 tiles, please subscribe to 81 Tiles mod by BloodyPenguin.

Screenshots were taken with Daylight Classic mod by BloodyPenguin, Springwood Map theme and Coastal LUT. Use Ultimate Eyecandy mod by Judazzz for even more options to adjust visuals to whatever you like.

Remember, if you like this map, please rate. It helps the community (and me).

@TheGreatWolf14: you are welcome to join the map makers discord linked above so we are able to provide more help.

Also I did get a "Missing Custom Theme" error as well when starting it. which told me it will use default due to missing themes. Which was odd as I had all the themes subbed in the collection.

Yeah got it already. left it on as default. still nothing however using Theme Mixer 2.5 I can grab the Springwood theme but thats about it. never had issues before so a bit confused on this one.

@TheGreatWolf14: you need the "Environment Changer" Mod, then you can select the map theme. if the mod is already active it should do so automatically. dont forget to subscribe to all the assets in the required items collection.

Hey! So Love the map but issue with the theme. Pretty much nothing shows its just base vanilla. Subbed to everything but seems a mod is missing or was deleted. Map is def not a desert anymore. Any idea on a fox or what could be a good alternative to get the themes working again?
