Workshop tips

You can load the Europa, Moon, and Ceres maps that are bundled with the game as examples of how to make maps that play well in game.

If you intend to share your custom maps on the Workshop, check out this short YouTube video that demonstrated the best practices to make sure that the maps you create are fun and playable in-game:

I look forward to playing the maps you create!

At the moment sharing colonies is not fully supported - only custom maps.

Just a heads up... the paths displayed in Map Editor help are incorrect in the Mac Map Editor.

Brushes Currently:
/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Sol 0 Mars Colonization/Map Editor.app/Contents/Map Editor_Data/Brushes/

Should be:
/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Sol 0 Mars Colonization/Map Editor.app/Contents/Brushes/

Same for Map Textures.

Map Textures Currently:
/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Sol 0 Mars Colonization/Map Editor.app/Contents/Map Editor_Data/MapTextures/

Should be:
/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Sol 0 Mars Colonization/Map Editor.app/Contents/MapTextures/

There is no "Map Editor_Data" folder in the current installation.
First, I tried creating the folder myself, but the editor did not recognize anything in it.
So I put my brush/texture .pngs in the existing folders and the editor displays them immediately (do not even have to restart the editor, just refresh)

Everything is uploaded through the Map Editor! Check out the help menu, or try the buttons in the upper right corner. If you have a specific question, best way for me to see it is to send an email to solzerogame@gmail.com.
