Procedurally generated map/content will never be as beautiful as handcrafted, though. So you could have a pazillion miles by a pazilion miles map.
Granted...it's a lot quicker to make :)

The ARK world is actually nice to explore though, it's well thought out not just thousands of miles of wasteland or trees that have been copied and pasted in.

That's what makes ARK so special.

I agree, im lvl 70 and explored about 1/3 the map. Not even seen a cave. I feel like I have a BIG part of the game to check out still.

I wonder how ARK would have been if the map was half the size of Chernarus...

I think the intent maybe , build base near forest, chop down forest, new resource nodes pop up near by as replacement. I think it's done by hand now.

Bohemia was able to sell it's map making software (specifically the engine) to different militaries specifically for it's ability to generate maps very well. I've heard map making is one the more time consuming processes of developement.

Never played Rust, never will. The only other survival sandbox that I have played would be Wurm. Too bad Ark is no where close to the size of a single map zone of Wurm yet.

You could spend hours just moving a small bit on that world map. Then you got boat travel to other maps. Zoming in at the max you might be able to see large towns lol.

Granted ARK is still just a small Island rigth now that can be traveled over by air in a few mins, I wonder how big it will be when they add new maps. I wonder if the maps will be connected for travel as well.

I might gather some guys and build a metal continent in ARK...

You should build the micronation of Sealand.

I think it's always best to build something completely new :)
