@Paper Tiger Thanks for sharing, looks like you have some cool ideas for the map. Killed two birds with wastewater dump and hydro dam ;)

@Paper Tiger Nice! post a screenshot on Reddit and link my name StygSound, I'd love to see it.

I love this map by the way :) If I could I'd post a screenshot of my city

Wind turbines did not work well in the strait. I put them off the east beach instead. But I don't use them at all now that I have hydro, thermal updraft and solar power.

What I did with the strait was build a land bridge from the main island to the small island at a high elevation, pick water up off one side and dump waste water over the other. Then I dammed the waste water side with hydro power. Estimated was 64 actual was 128 and it can go as high as 180 MW.

@Paper Tiger Thanks for the comments.

1. Yeah I set the start tile to the center by default IIRC. You should be able to start on the little island if you open this map in the map editor and change the start tile - may require the Purchase It! mod but maybe not.

2. Water flow in the strait is pretty low as you observed. You can try using water towers instead of pumps, you can add a water spawner at one end if you like in the map editor (or use a mod to edit water in-game), or just live with the low flow rate until you get access to the island edges.

3. Probably the wind turbines won't work well in the strait since they are low elevation and blocked by mountains on either side - I recommend using a different power source.

My bad, there is flow through the straits and on the map in general. It's just that the flow through the straits is not enough to produce arrows.

I am now using the map as intended: I've noticed 3 things, I don't know if they're oversights as I've no experience of map building.

Without using a cheat to buy all the tiles I can only start on the main island.
Water flow in the strait between the main island and the small island is not indicated.
When attempting to place an Advanced Wind Turbine in the strait the estimated power production is always 0 MW

I am taking advantage of the copious fertile land though to have a green city with no polluting industry.

@Paper Tiger Yeah sorry about that, I forgot I used Laviante for this map, I added it to the required items.

I'm going to use this map. But it says the custom theme is missing. What theme should it have?

I'm going to find a tropical one because I'm wanting to use the map right away.
