THE MAKING OF
since i don't know any cheats, console commands, hacks or bugs that would let me fly over the island in noclip or ghost mode, i had to comb the land at daylight and fight the cannibals at night. it wasn't easy, since i got lost very often, look out for my neighbours, keep myself replete with food and rely on my visual thinking all the time.

we all know, that you won't see very much at night and the cannibals are there to occupy you when its dark, i had to use the day for traveling and sketching. i had a lot of fun creating this map the old fashioned way and it was a real challenge too -> drawing in RL, while trying to find another hill, from which i could lay eyes on the shapes and important details of the islands, while discovering the island for the first time myself. i am kinda proud, that i made it this way, the old europeans must have felt very similar after finishing their maps of new discovered worlds for the people to come. ;)

THE MAP
i finished that drawing in about 16 in-game days (!), revised it completely as a digital drawing inside photoshop and added some small sketches, plus a little hint... the story might could lead into that direction - let's just wait and see. i hope this map will help others who are stranded on the coast and lost in the forest to find the way! :)



(everything you see is made/drawn/lined by me, except the logo in the left upper corner)

i hope this helps! happy surviving. ;)
(please excuse my english, it's not my native language)

PS: i also spent a lot of time inside the caves, but i simply didn't want to spoil everything away. i kinda like the realistic appeal, that the player created that map on top of the island - but simply doesn't have the time or balls to draw down there. :D

PPS: i know that the place where the plane crashs varies, i also hope that you know that this one was created like mentioned in the "MAKING OF" part of this guide, so please excuse if i missed stuff, or if the drawing isn't 100% accurate... it's handmade, bros... for real! :)

EDIT 6: again... BIG Update, 12.6.2014 (update 6)

Did some major changes today. after adding a few new icons, i realized that actually a lot of the terrain was admittedly correct in detail, but not bearing relation to itself (mostly proportions and alignments). so i decided to fix that, since so many of you guys use it already and all the time that went into it shouldn't be for nothing! - So here it is, BIG changes. Enjoy.
