Hello Everyone, Some of you may know I just recently released my first map for Cities: Skylines!
You can check it out here... Sea Turtle Falls
I spent 2 days searching for cool brushes I could use to create maps with and tested them to see which ones had the coolest effects. I thought that I would share some of the brushes I found for the map making community and the tools I used to create my map Sea Turtle Falls.
I sorted them into 2 groups. "Essentials" & "One Offs". The Essentials folder is what I found to be the most useful or had the coolest patterns/effects that could be used for map making. The One offs folder is full of cool icons that I didn't really feel the need to get rid of but still would keep around if I felt like using them at some point. I did this because switching between tools in game can cause the game to take longer to load while map editing. So I wanted to limit the number of brushes down. I named them by categories in such a way that made sense to how they looked.
I suggest you pre-load your brushes into the folder before starting the game, I found that if you try putting them into the brushes folder while the map editor is running it will lag out and cause the game to freeze up if you try to do it all at once. You can load brushes 1 or 2 at a time while the game is running just fine however. You can always remove the brushes when you're not using them to keep the load times down.
Rotate Brush Mod
I Highly Suggest Subscribing to the mod Rotate Brush located here. It will allow you to rotate your brushes in 15 degree intervals. Created by Permutation aka Duddle after I requested someone make it from the IRC Channel...

Thanks Duddle!
Persistent Resource View
I also Highly Suggest Subscribing to the mod Persistent Resource View located here. It will allow you to keep the natural resources overlay open while painting natural resources. Without it you will be doing guess work having to go back and forth between overlays. Super helpful mod.
Now I must say that the map editor can be very touchy at times, I've found after testing a number of brushes that the editor will do what it feels like it wants to. Altering Images or making patterns out of a single Symbol, Not sure how it chooses to do what for certain symbols but it does. So while some brushes might not do what you want them to do, They still have a cool effect and you should learn them for what they are and how they behave.
If you find any cool brushes please share with us in this thread! Thank You!
