Map Expansion? New Maps?

[Saica-Fox]

searched for anything related to "map expansion" and didn't find anything helpful. I looked on Discord and Steam. I searched the read-only suggestion thoroughly in Discord, too. I also re-watched their Q&A videos. I was curious if the devs plan to expand the current map?

Right now the map shows more land beyond what the player is able to travel, so I wanted to know if there are plans to expand in a future update.

Has anyone seen anything related to this? Any comments or posts by the devs?

I'm not trying to sound desperate, I'm just curious if it's been brought up. Thanks!

As far as we know, there are no confirmed plans of this. You are not the only one hoping for it though :-) And it's been suggested a couple of times - even as a separate dlc.

Maybe next year when co-op comes they'll expand the map a bit? Who knows; there's no info on how co-op will be implemented yet either.

Game dearly needs a new map not an extension, and a rework of the tiresome dialogue clicking.

An entire new map would be to redo the whole game...

No it wouldn't. The "storyline" not that there is one would be easily adaptable, everything else is just interactions with people/wildlife/fauna.

And you speak from developers' experience? xD

Instead of a new static map, I would like randomly generated maps.

Neue Karten oder Zufallsprinzipien in Sachen Karte, wären auch mein Wunsch für die Zukunft - auch Karten-übergreifend mit anderen Spielern kooperieren zu können wäre ein schöner Gedanke von mir, als Anstoß für die Zukunft dieses Spiels ;-)

Don't need to be, it's common sense.

As a dev myself I can tell you it's far from easy and the entire game would have to be reworked. The current map is also entirely handcrafted, and would have to be redone completely. And that in a finished game for free? Dream on.
Your best bet is an expansion to the existing one. And then they could even make that expansion a procedurally generated one like wizard suggested, which would be awesome.

I'd rather call it common nonsense.
I'm sorry, but you obviously don't have the faintest idea of the effort that would be required to achieve what you are asking for.

Many have no idea what certain requests require in terms of effort. That is unfortunately the case and is also accepted.

[Saica-Fox]

yeah that sucks playing on the same map for more than 50 or so hours would get boring pretty fast cuz everything is static locations mines hunt spots takes away the fun of exploration

Be nice if the map was randomly generated, by the time you learn what everything is and where everything is gets kinda boring when you start a new game XD cuz you know where everything is at day 1
