Central Japan - Tokyo-Hiroshima - savegame

DESCRIPTION:

Fairly advanced savegame of a playthrough of my Central Japan map: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2845727483

This savegame focuses on network replication and rail modeling, and not in a vanilla "for profit" gameplay. Most of the major railways and many highways built more or less following real life, though may not yet have train services. All roads are handplaced - i.e. no randomly generated.

At least one city of each prefecture on the map is built.

Population Factor was used at a value of 0, and hence, buildings generate the lowest amount of demand possible. This is to enable bigger sprawl rather than the compact yet densely populated cities of the vanilla game, and keep high performance possible.

MODS REQUIRED:

Please subscribe to all the items included in the following collection:

The following transportfever.net mod is also required. While getting it on a third-party website may be just a tad inconvenient, I do highly recommend it - even if you do not intend to play this save - as it makes building expressways and junctions extremely easy. You just need to download one of the versions available; any 1.5 or above will suffice:

POPULATION FACTOR:

This mod is not included in the collection above, but is highly recommended, if you intent on build more cities or develop the existing ones. It was not included because of the recommended setting on this save is a very low value, anything under 1, and preferably the lowest possible one, 0, whereas the mod comes by default with a value of 2.

FINAL POINTS:

This is an experimental sized map and experimental sizes must be enabled.

If you wish to play the map, but feel that some cities, buildings, assets, etc., are unnecessary - i.e. in the name of performance - use the included Bulldozer++ mod or the (bigger) asset removal brush to very quickly get rid of the undesired stuff en masse.

I do have more recent and developed versions of the map available (for those that look in my screenshots, etc.) but in the name of performance for the public in general, I think this version would be the best one, cost-benefit wise. This might change in the future, especially if the February update succeeds in increasing game performance.
