A map I’ve wanted to do for a while now inspired by islands near Asia it has a central mountain range that reaches for the sky and rolling valleys and a large river that runs through the main territory this one is a big work in progress

#

#

#

#

#

I’m still learning the ins and outs and while loading some structures up in the resource browser window, depending on what the structures are it crashes re-forger tools. So far items that cause the crash are- Hangar, fire dept, most houses, some awnings, some industrial buildings.
Everything else works perfect but not those specific prefab structures 😭

I currently have landscape to finish around the map and then I’m starting on the cities/towns/small homes.
