MAP width, heigth

[JonSnows]

Can someone tell me the values of a medium map?

The factorio map keeps on generating the further away you go. Just like in Minecraft, it basically never stops. Only the campaign maps are size limited.

If you start a new normal game, you can just leave the width and height empty for an infinite map.

Sorry if that does not help much in getting a "medium map" but it is really very rare to find anyone ever limiting their map size.

Except for the Ribbon World, when one (but only one!) of the dimensions is limited to some smallish number.

I think eventually you'll get an out-of-memory error. So just get a medium amount of RAM! :P

The size if you don't put one is one million tiles in all directions from the origin.

??? What map? Some scenario? Campaign mission? Still not clear on what exactly you meant by "medium map" in your question. I must be missing something.

Custum map if i dont want infinite size map.

Alright, I assume you want a map of limited size that would still allow you to launch the rocket if you're careful about managing your resources?

If so, that question is impossible to answer. The game's resources are generated randomly, and there is no guarantee that any size map will have enough of all of the resources you need. With same map size, in one game you'd be swimming in resources, in another you'd be stuck on blue science. You could increase the map size to be pretty sure you'll have enough, but then it wouldn't be any different from the "infinite-sized" map.

You could, of course, use the map editor to create such a map yourself, but then the map size is again irrelevant (as long as there's enough room to build).
