Minor Update 9/1/2022: Improved AI nodes, added more destructible bits to the shopping mall, general minor bugfixes, and changed the fog color.

Welcome to the Great Plains.

Did Garry's Mod need another physics map? Maybe not, but physics maps are my favorite kind of map so I set out to create this one. It's a bit like gm_CalamityCoast (okay, maybe not THAT good but you get the point).

Like setting up NPC battles, storm chasing, or just destroying things? Read on.

• Realistic destructible suspension bridge
  
• Realistic destructible brick-veneer framehouse
  
• National Weather Service (NWS) office w/ storm shelter
  
• A small shopping mall
  
• AI Noded

Of course, one must understand that in the context of the Source engine I do use the term "realistic" a bit loosely.

The suspension bridge is collapsible; shooting at or using explosives on the cable stays will cause the cables to snap. If three of the cables snap the respective span collapses. The frame house is completely destructible down to the foundation - yes, even the carpet and tile flooring.

The shopping mall is partially destructible, including the roof and some parts of the walls, and the NWS office has a destructible roof. This is for performance reasons, and because of that there is also no 3D skybox, sorry.

THIS IS A PHYSICS MAP! IT IS BY NO MEANS INTENDED FOR WEAK OR LOW-END COMPUTERS! I recommend having at least a dual-core i5 with 4-8GB of RAM! The map may run on weaker hardware but you do so at your own risk!

If you are in the "low-end gamer" category and desire to play a physics map, you may like the FPS Friendly version of my other map gm_kansasplains.

Where the hell is Rolling Acres?
Long story short: when I first started working on that map, I was an idiot at mapmaking and tried to bite off more than I could chew. I AM WILLING to provide the VMF to an experienced mapmaker(s) who are willing to finish the project.

STILL no required games, because I'm not that kind of guy. If you do see missing textures my only guess would be an addon conflict.

With all that said, hope you enjoy the map!
