Full Map: Cities+Points of Interest+Settlment Locations. (Exploring spoilers)
Trying to make a map of everything to be found, any help would be appreciated.
Will try to keep this updated and keep adding information.

Map link: http://imgur.com/a/RQpnQ

To help:
Scroll all the way out, and start zooming in until small details like farms/hives/mines start to appear. Try to include a border or some kind of reference point to make it easier to attach the screenshots together.


Main Cities:
-The Holy Nation
Bad Teeth
Blister Hill
Small Time
Stack

-Western Hive
Hive Village (6)

-Mongrel
Mongrel

-Holy Nation Outlaws
The Hub

-Tech Hunters
Waystation


Points of Interest:
1- Building right at the edge where the water, moutain, and grass meet. (Vendor crashes the game and you cannot enter the building, but you can buy it. :P)
2- Landscape (If it had more resources, would be a scenic area to have a fortress.)
3-Graveyard


Settlement Map:
Carbon- Yellow
Copper- Orange
Farming- Green
Iron- Red
Stone- Grey
Water- Blue

Template is attached to the main link.

-Open with paint select the "add text" option. (A symbol next to Fill/Eraser)
-Increase size to 36, fill areas of the pie chart.
-Hit "Resize and Skew" change horizontal and vertical to 20.
-Either send me a copy of your pie chart with the location of your settlement in a screenshot, or add it to the map and upload it to imgur. The latter would be appreciated. :P


Add List:
Shop loction/item lists?
Best pathing routes?

Does look better. :steamhappy:

That looks pretty decent to me, its not too big so you can't make out terrain detail, and its not too small so its hard to accurately tell where the area is at a glance(which also helps keep down the amount of pictures needed to be taken.)


Will decrease the file size as well. The 500 prospecting picture was a 1.4mb image for such a tiny part.
Also will try to add main cities to help figure out locations.
Lord Lurk 2016 年 4 月 5 日 下午 9:11 
Hmmm, maybe just making a big filled in blob with the city name over it would be fine? Its not like you can build anything near the city anyways, so if known or possible, maybe add a dotted outline around the city to indicate its zone as non-buildable too?

The zone thing can be something added on later, but for now just a general fill-in for where the city is at should suffice I think. But if you are trying to be fancy, you can always try to cut/paste the image plus text from the main map and plop it onto the same location for the prospecting map.

This is exactly what I meant. :P
Having the main map and the prospecting map as similar as possible would help quite a bit.

Hmmm, well if you want someone to do the tedious work of sniping out the logo/names of the towns/villages/locations, I can give it a shot if you want, would have to wait until tomorrow though cause it would put me to sleep if I tried starting on it tonight.

Although once you get the Logos, its just copy/pasting them as most of them are the same.
EggOxide 2016 年 4 月 5 日 下午 9:51 
Would appreciate the help. :D
And I hear you. Just running around the map taking large images is making me yawn a bit.

We may really just need the Farm, Hive, and main city icons.. I think that's all anyone uses as hubs.
Can just add the text in paint. Will be fast and easy.
Lord Lurk 2016 年 4 月 5 日 下午 9:55 
Might as well get the in-game text to go with it, that way it looks like its from the same texture pallete. I'll let you know tomorrow when I start on it then.

Err.. Problem. Found out saturation varies based on either how much water is in the area you prospect, or something else... :\

Plus compared to the original link http://imgur.com/YaTN2gp
Lord Lurk 2016 年 4 月 5 日 下午 10:20 
Ouch....well roll with it anyways? Cant really have a farm without water...so the brighter the better?
EggOxide 2016 年 4 月 5 日 下午 10:30 
Going to try and keep it consistent with the 2nd image in the first link..
Just sucks that it can differ based on where you search.
Lord Lurk 2016 年 4 月 5 日 下午 10:42 
Can always try to digitally enhance the brightness of it maybe? Play around with the hues on the greens and try to make it closer to what it actually should be based on farming level...honestly thats the only thing I can think of, outside of somehow getting ahold of a pre-done map or a program to do it for you...

That will work perfectly then, just gotta make a template for a pie chart then. xD

Testing farming atm, how zoomed in should the map be to make it easier to see all the details..? Both Images are already zoomed in dramatically..

Same area near Blister Hill, top is 500 prospecting bottom 1000.

Ya, that is why I suggested using a pie chart symbol. You are creating too much work for yourself that way with prospecting screenshots.

Your screenshots are just for farming alone, you would still have 5 other elements to do.

The idea was to use a pie symbol to keep it simple and give a general idea of what that area has for resources. If a person is really intered in that area they cna do their own damn prospecting once they get there, lol.

So I took a crack at clipping out the icon + wording, heres my first prototype. Let me know if this works for you or not.

Obviously that is not where The Hub is at, but just to show how clean I managed to get the clipping for it. Everything is spaced as it was from the origional over-map as well.

I must say it was harder than I thought it would be. It seems these icons and words were made with some sort of blending tool or straight onto the map itself, so a lot of its shading was a mix of the background colors for the map, I just removed as much as possible while still keeping some of the shadow effect it had without looking too out of place. If you want me to adjust it in any way let me know, and I'll give it a shot.

Heres the blank template I used for the icon + wording for the above image.

Wanted to do the individual maps more out of curiosity. Plus it was fun while it lasted. :P
I stil really wanted to do it, but found out I could get an area with 0 water to turn up green..

As awesome as that is, I don't think we will need it after all. Didn't have any luck with the resource maps showing what was and wasn't in spots accurately.. So there's zero purpose.
ex. Bottom left corner of the map has zero of everything. further north shows it having the same as +40.. Then taking a reading from the corner shows the northern spot having none..

Too complicated. x.x

Thank you though, for working on it. :D

Ah thats a bummer, maybe some functionality to the FCS kit might make doing such a map possible in the future? Could not hurt to make a post in the suggestion section to request such a feature either.

Thanks for trying though, it seems at this point it might be easier to collect reports of good locations and making a custom-made map denoting them and their resource qualities, like Bored Peon suggested with his pie-chart symbol.

No idea honestly. Haven't messed with FCS enough to know it's limits. o:

Since both of you are up for helping, color wise how should it look?
Need colors that would be easy to distinguish, and not forget.
Carbon-
Copper-
Farming- Green
Iron-
Stone- Grey
Water- Blue

Carbon black, copper orange, iron red?
