Hexagonal map tiles...

Unplayable.

Tell AI to try again with a Factorio grid! :lol:

I... I'm. Okay, that was unexpected.

You obviously could have made a lot of money selling the finished product instead, so it's pretty awesome to see you just giving this away. Especially since it sounds like it wasn't a trivial amount of work.

You have (perhaps rightly) caught a lot of flak the past year or so for the way feedback about Space Age was handled, so this was really cool to see. I can't wait to see the creative things people make with this.

I accidentally bought a 3d printer this week, and then these come out? Awesome!

Cool! I just wish the trains had been part of it.

If they had been, I'd be seriously considering looking into a print-on-demand service to get a locomotive and a couple of fluid wagons printed.

Check out your local library, many of them have 3D printers that are either free or cheap to print with. There are also stores where you can send the files and pay a small fee for them to do the printing for you.

As for painting, you are on your own, sorry.
