Golden Port (Semarang, Indonesia)

---

Welcome to my first map, Golden Port. This map has a large and flat buildable space surrounded by forests and farmland, mountains backgrounds, swamps, and large harbor area. Suitable to play with 9 tiles, 25 tiles and 81 tiles.

The terrain and roads on this map are based on real world location of Semarang city [earth.google.com], the capital city of Central Java province, Indonesia.

Please don't forget to giving a thumbs up to let me know if you like my map, so that I will be encouraged to make another map

The screenshot images are using Seychelles Map Theme, Realistic LUT v1.2 and visual mods below :

[Very Strongly Recommended]
• Daylight Classic
• No Radioactive Desert & More

[Recommended]
• Clouds & Fog Toggler
• Tree LOD Fix

(my settings for all visual mods for this map are shown in the second image above)

(+) Ultimate Eyecandy : only needed if you want the sunrise and sunset on the map to match the real-world east and west (with my setting in the second image). The map will look the same as the screenshot image above without this mod.


*** ONE-CLICK COLLECTION of LUT, visual mods, and required items ***

OUTSIDE CONNECTIONS
4/4 Highway Connections
2/4 Railway Connections
4/4 Airplane Connections
4/4 Ship Connections

NATURAL RESOURCES
All natural-resources are available and accessible in 9 tiles or 25 tiles gameplay.

Tip : You can add or clear the forestry ground resource by planting or bulldozing trees in the area that you want.

WATER
There is pre-build water pumps and sewage treatments with connected pipe to the starting square. Polluted water from pre-built sewage treatment that drained on the shore will disappear from the map with water spawn point trick.

Note : DON'T PUMP WATER OR DRAIN SEWAGE ON THE RIVERS in this map because the river is narrow and shallow, so clean water can dry up or the sewage can overflow the river. Use water pump and sewage drain on the sea, or you can use inland water pump/tower and inland sewage treatment.

TREES
205k/250k trees plopped in the map. You can plant another 45k trees on the map.
If you want to plop more than 250k tree on your map you can use Unlimited Trees mod.
All the trees used in this map are low tri and low file size for better game performance even on low spec PC.

Tip : Always delete the trees before you build roads or buildings in the area, because if you don’t delete them the game will still count the trees even if you can’t see them because they are covered by buildings or roads.

1. Roads & Interchanges
• All interchanges on this map are hand drawn. 4 of the interchanges are original interchanges from the real world locations (3 trumpet interchanges and 1 diamond interchanges). Other interchanges are my modifications of existing interchanges/intersections in the real world in order to make better traffic in the game.

• The roads in real world location is Left Hand Traffic (the same as Japan, UK, etc.)

• All elevated roads have a good height for all vehicles to pass on the road below them

• Highway on this map are based on Pantura/Pantai Utara (North Coast) National Road and Trans-Java Toll Road. The highway and national road in the real world location is a two-lane highway, but in this map I made it with vanilla three-lane highway.

• There are 2 medium roads leading to the edge of the map, in real world it’s a connecting road to the surrounding area, but I don’t make it as outside connections because the dummy traffic from that outside connection can cause a traffic jam on the map unless you use a mod like Advanced Outside Connections mod to control dummy traffic.

2. Railway
Railway track and Railyard on this map are based on real world railway track, main station and locomotive depot.

3. Waterfall, Reservoir and Mini-dam
The reservoir and Mini-dam on this map are downscaled and customized from existing dam and reservoir in real world location. The waterfall doesn’t exist in real world location, it was just my addition.

4. Swamp Areas, Sandy Beaches, and Underwater Painting
Swamp area based on real world location, but the shapes and patterns are not exactly the same. I created the swamp with ore texture and tree patterns on it. The sandy beaches are made using oil texture. Underwater of the sea is painted with oil and ore texture.

5. Harbor Area
A quay-ed harbor area based on harbor area in the real-world location, the harbor area has a realistic height (not too high) above the sea water level to build a ship dock.

6. Mountains Backdrop
Mountains backdrop based on real world backdrop that can be seen on google earth (Mt. Ungaran, Mt. Merbabu, Mt. Sumbing, Mt. Sundoro, etc.). The mountains were not within the actual distance and size of the real-world, they were just for backdrop decorations.

7. Farmland
Farmland was created to fill empty spaces.
