Cities Of Earth 3

by hyspeed

A Factorio mod that uses maps of Earth for world generation. Choose from different world layouts. The world size can be set at startup but does not tile or repeat. * Optional: Teleporters at each city provide fast movement across the world. * Optional: "Pre-Place Silo". The Rocket Silo will be built at map creation and cannot be crafted by players. * Optional: "Team Co-op". Each city is a team, players can build a factory to launch from their Silo.

g Americas Map not generating

(updated 5 months ago)

Hi there! I love this mod, thanks for keeping it up.

I walked from Hearst to where my hometown would be, and decided to try to make a larger sized map and something happened.

My map previews don't look like Ontario anymore and the map looks like a regular Factorio seed.

I've deleted and reloaded the mod from the /mods/ folder, the game at least loads into the correct map after reloading the mod.

1) What did I do?
2) Is it possible for me to add a spawn location (for my hometown) and force it to have starting resources around it too?

Hi,

Sorry you are having an issue. The map generation only works on a new map. The mod cannot be added to an existing save. If you want to increase the size, you'll have to start over. ;(

If you want to add your cities, you'll need to dig into the LUA code and edit the cities_americas.lua file to add a city, the GUI position, and the world position. Note that the mod will put the city in the center of the 32x32 grid, so exact positioning isn't possible (because of the scaling requirements).

thanks
