Kepler-438b
This world closely orbits the small red dwarf Kepler-438 so closely that it is tidally locked, meaning that one pole faces the sun while the other is forever locked in darkness. The sun facing side of the planet is habitable while the unreachable dark side is completely covered in ice. The strong tides keep the ocean forever bulged out at the poles, but again only the sun-facing ocean is accessible, the far ocean is forever trapped under miles of ice.
This polar projection map (requires Rising Tide) allows colonization of the sunward facing side of the planet.
— Suggested Usage —
After the mod selection screen downloads the mod, exit Civ BE, go to the mod directory ("My DocumentsMy GamesSid Meier’s Civilization Beyond EarthMODSSun Facing Pole Map") and copy the file Sun_Facing_Pole.lua" to the user Maps directory ("My DocumentsMy GamesSid Meier’s Civilization Beyond EarthMaps"). Restart the game and go into the mod selection screen and make sure the mod is NOT selected, as that would result in the map script being listed twice.
This allows you to use the map script with or without mods, which is great if you just want to try a new map without going through the whole "loading mods" business.
