still massive work in progress but the new direction is actually working out pretty well. on top of that i got a real good story for this map but its mostly going to make sense for those who have played starsector which is a space exploration game i also decided to cut some corners in quality since ...

guess i am back into full swing with this map. Got bored of satisfactory since it just gets pretty stagnant once you reach your goals while factorio constantly throws stuff at you like bitter attacks.

cant wait to make a starport for those using the space exploration mod

added a new biome to the mountain pass and itll look really good when i am done working on that area heres a few pics of wip: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/553039571152273429/556330598352814090/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/553039571152273429/556327053360889856/unknown....

I dont know if 16gb is required for sure tbh... but task manager says factorio is using that much and knowing the fact i have 32gigs means it probably uses alot more than it actually needs

new pics for curious folks
posted a newer version of factoria on the discord for those who wanna try it out

gonna try to work on this project everyday just to keep the pace going. If anyone wants to actually join in to start helping on this massive project feel free to join the discord and I'll be glad to accept any help :3 ==> If you want to be an early access tester it would really make this go faster ...

gonna do some tests with map generation and see if i can get a better setting for the second half of the map. That area will contain a city MUCH bigger than the one already built since the new copy past option will allow for this crazy urban biome to be made! Also going to change the map in the way ...

eh, its more like a side thing tbh, its really fun to build a map like this and I hope others could join in on the bamd wagon using the new map editor! imagine what can be done with the new editor if it took 3 months to make the majority of the map using the old editor... that south pass took 4 hour...

ah well, at least its good to know, welp, ill be on my way then!

new south branch https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/553039571152273429/553107952236625923/unknown.png?width=988&height=619 map overview https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/553039571152273429/553063315006291968/unknown.png?width=988&height=619 WIP south cliffs https://cdn.discordap...

welp, even more good news, turns out 0.17.XX actually reduced the map size by more than half of its 16.51 counterpart... This means ill be able to put as much detail in the map as vanilla areas without having to worry as much!

Welp, all i have is great news for those interested! The new copy and paste feature in the new 0.17 update was totally worth the wait, progress is just INSANE! Ive managed to do things that would have taken AGES in a matter of a few hours! Currently reworking the whole southern section first as its ...

ayy it works, real quick before you flush this, are large rail curve planned for 0.17 or 0.18? If not I would really like to know because this map is so big if they are ever introduced I would like to update it to include stuff like this... already planning to make custom ruined buildings for the ma...

okay cool, ill go try it out and tell you if it works!

Thanks for the amazing work btw, at least this dev team cares about their custommers and it shows, keep the great work!

will do, since when are tiny cliffs not a thing anymore?

the amount of tiny cliffs is just huge but ill try to find all of them lol

tried 0.17.6 which was supposed to fix the issue but i still get the same crash

also tried 0.17.1 which some people said fixed it but to no avail it also crashed

still loads almost instantly in any version of 0.16

huh, gonna try that once i get home.
