very small map?

[GlanzGurke]

Hi i just bought the game after having fun with the Demo and am a bit confused because of my map size?

I mean i didnt expect it to be endless or as giant as CitySkyline maps but i did hope to built a few little settlements with spooky forests inbetween and the map is only marginaly larger than the Demo version?

did i fumble some setting here?

Just clear the area of trees with an eraser! ♥

Yeah I could've sworn the maps in some videos were bigger.

I observe no fumbling. This is the map size indeed - just as the demo was illustrating with the square around the glade.

We've been hearing from a few folks that they'd want a larger map, but it's a tough engineering challenge due to the amount of *stuff* that players will inevitably end up with, and that would take serious optimization work.

So at least for the foreseeable future, it's still a tiny glade.

This is the largest map size we've ever shown in any footage, or shared with any tester. It usually starts feeling large once you ramp up construction :)

That's fair. Sorry about that.

Awesome game! Maybe open up a Beta branch for larger map testing? I’d love to take part in that.

...ayoo the demo map had like a lock symbol around the area implying it would be larger.. i thought it would unlock the whole visible map when i bought the game

(yet i have to admit it is fun to play with, very beautiful and thought out.)


saaay not that i would ever try to play around with others people codes but these settings dont happen to be in rocky_terrain.json ?

Would it be possible to just allow terraforming, water and moving trees outside of the buildable area? I think the tiny glade would feel much bigger if it wasn't surrounded by trees, and hills would better integrate into the landscape.

That's a pretty good idea actually! I'll add a note to our planing board to try that :) Thanks!

honestly sorry, feels very small to me.
but i finaly realize that the Tiny in Tiny Glade does implicate that its small lol


would still be awesome if there was some "insanity" setting where one could ramp up the size of the map while accepting that "bugs may occur" or that it may lagg.. stuff like that

rimworld did that too and it heigthened the experience in my opinion.

other than that: awesome game and very fun

Thanks for the feedback! :D We might try do that at some point, but there's so much happening right now that we probably won't crawl from under our inbox contents for the next few months xD

Just wait for the sequel "Enormous Glade"

Or at least let us build water and streets outside the build area, so that we can connect our village to the outer world
