you have to build it, this is just a map that makes it easy to grow a big city in the middle.

wheres the big city

Are you doing this? https://i.imgur.com/lW7IyHa.jpg

Am I just being an idiot? I cant find this in the map selection even with mod enabled, what am i doing wrong or what am i looking for?

then i will subscribe thank you

if you subscribe you will get both the .lu and the .bmp coped to your harddrive.

Do you have a link to download this heightmap?

thanks

Hello, questions like these are best asked in an active forum like the reddit /r/TransportFever/ here is the link if you are interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/TransportFever/

It sounds like you have to many terminals and not enough demand, good luck!

I am not sure if it just me or a small bug with either a mod or your map there are times that I can not get the industry to work. Sometimes it is after I reload the map from a prior save, Example: I plop down 3 freight terminals. One for raw materials like oil. I then take it to a refinery for fuel than to a town with a cargo terminal for road vehicles. The problem is the refinery. It except the crude oil and produces the fuel and refined oil but doesn't put the fuel onto the station dock for pickup. I do have 2 cargo terminals for the trucks. A big one by the train station and another by the industry.

What am I doing wrong? This has happened with a food plant also. I start the game at the early stage so the product from industry is a good way to make some good cash at the start of the game whereas passengers can be rather slow at first.

Thank you, nice map

you can modify the forset settings also, density and such. here is a good resource for making quick maps i used this a lot and am not affiliated:

@Malcolm, thanks for the feedback. making maps is pretty easy. you just need a heightmap and a script file that defines the city locations and such. You can find the heightmap and script for this map on your harddrive. On mine it is in this folder somewhere:

"D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Transport Fever\mods\<mod_name>"

You can make a copy of the 2 files and put it in your maps folder and make changes to it yourself, here is the locatio of my maps folder:

"D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Transport Fever\maps\BigFlatGridTexasCities"

I did also try a map with only 9 cities, but in the long game that is not enought cities for me. To supply a city of 10k pop with 80% plus toos and machines you need to spread a lot of "extra" resourses around the map.

Posting removed the spaces in my comment. The grid outline was....

X-X-X
X----X
X-X-X

After playing this map for a while, several questions/points...

1. Do you have a link to somewhere that explains how to create maps? I'd like to try it myself one of these days.

2. When designing the map, can you place trees that automatically get removed as you build or as the city grows (kind of like how the SimCity forest map acts). It would be kind of neat to have a map that's a giant forest that you cut through when building your tracks & as the city grows.

3. With so many cities it's almost impssible to manage. I've made it up to 12 cities, but it becomes a logistical nightmare. I like the concept of the map, but have you considered a large map with maybe 8 cities spead out in a grid, like...

X X X
X X
X X X

And, with this one, LOTS of distance between the cities and especially in the center where a distribution hub can be placed.

lake

Awsome didnt think you would actually do it I appreciate that my friend :)

@Exotic - i added the waterway on the right side of map.

@Exotic, ok, i thnk i fixed that and updated it. Thank you!

I figured it out.
In your maps.lua file you had the start year at 1990. Why The Hell did you do this???

Heres a screenshot--- http://imgur.com/JbQ4VEl

Great mod man just chnage that line.

And one more thing could you add like just a bit of water to test ships? Like a bar of water/river that cuts through the map? Wuld be amazing. anyway thanks

Everytime I test this It puts me in 1990. No matter what Start Year I select. This is with no mods enabled

@Malcom Thanks!

I really like this map, especially if you want to test out new ideas.

Becuase the cities are all lined up, and because the resources in the supply chain are also lined up and positioned outside of the city structure, this map is a great place to try out concepts such as central distribution hubs.

Alek, i just now fiexed the bug and if you re-subscribe it looks like you can actually now select the map in the drop down list in the main "Create new Game" screen!!!!

I appoligize for my incorrect information erlier. My very fist attempt at this sort of thing.

Good luck

I just tried again all I get is a map with a lake

I did that and I geta map with big lake in the middle of the map

Same here. Won't show in map-list.

this map does not show in map list, I have tried loading from list of mods thing no map

Nice

Great game!
