Notes
This project was started as a result of wanting to do a rural plains build and not being able to find quite what I was looking for from pre-existing or default maps. Everything either lacked a worldmap, had a prominant coastline, or included mountains. I wanted a more inland setting without mountains looming in the distance. And so this map was born. There is some terrain variation, but it is so gentle the map is effectively flat. There is no sea coastline in this map, and thus no water shipping connections exist. There should be room for a water shipping line where the river widens to a lake in the southwest corner if you would like to add one. Based on a modified pair of heightmaps from the Illinois river somewhere to the southwest of Chicago.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. Code mods go into the Mods folder inside the game directory and must be enabled from the in-game Mods menu.
