Features:
– Thirty hand placed, edited and named towns, including three large metropolitan areas great for commuter services.
– Twenty-seven hand placed and named industries, built with logical supply chains in mind
– An extensive hand placed road network linking most cities and industries
– Loads of wide open space to build huge train yards, airports, or even a freeway down the whole length of the country.
– Due to the size and aspect ratio, most high speed trains can reach their full top speed on crossmap routes
– Terrain that encourages bridges, tunnels and canals
– Water around the entire map to increase shipping possibilities, courtesy of Everyone’s Water All Around Tropical Generator (which can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1935083003)
Some tips:
– The cheapest supply chain to get up and running is in and around Capitol. Have a look at the nearby industries.
– In general, primary industries that are first in the supply chain are located in rural areas. Secondary and tertiary industries are near towns.
– The distribution of towns roughly follows a pattern of population sizes and distance from each other. Use this to your advantage when planning passenger services.
