How often does maps change? Is it worth making a map register?

[MylilPwny]

Is there anyone out there that knows more about how often maps changes?
The reason i ask, is because i am looking hard for specific maps, with specific breakthroughs and building space.

I have already gone trough 50+ maps on my hunt, i have written down a bunch of them, however, i have not found the map im hunting for. I would not mind to share my findings, but if the maps changes everytime there is a patch etc, then posting it is futile. Having a register, would be beneficial to all the players out there looking for something specific.

I am looking for a flat map, with good building space, so i can build abit larger dome layouts and designs. I am specifically targeting the two breakthrough domes in the game, for that reason. So far, i have not found a map that spawns both domes. I am starting to think that it is not possible to get both to spawn in the same game. I know you can do this, IF you use the gamerule that randomize the tech, but i want this to be on a map by default, so i can get achievements and let other players play on it too.

Please share, if you know a map with both domes. Can somebody from Heamimont or Paradox clarify if maps will continue to be fixed or if they will change again soon? Is it worth making a map register?

I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that only one of the two Dome breakthroughs (Multi-Spiral Architecture and Gem Architecture) are possible; I've certainly never seen both in any game (and occasionally don't see either, which can be a bit of a bummer).

Would be interested in finding out the answer to your question re frequency of updates to tech/location tie-ins (if any), though - and in seeing the fruits of your research!

Off, if you are correct, then i wasted several more hours today aswell searching for it. Me and my friend must have been trough over 100 so far.

I'm pretty sure a map is limited to spawning only a single automation breakthrough as well.

Pretty sure this is correct. I took a quick look, but not sure where that was.

I've never had either one.

That is false! I have one map that has Eternal Fusion - Factory Automation - Service Bots, so that is 3 different automated breakthroughs.

Elo. Dis is donkey.

Donkey says it's possibru to have both domes in a regular game.

Donkey shows proof:

Donkey out.

 

[Fox_NS_CAN]

I stand corrected.

Thanks friend! The coordinates is on 31s77e

Tech igot locked to maps at the space race dlc (october) and I wouldn´t take it as a certain that it stay this way.
I maybe could organise some sort of "reporting" of breakthroughs at different maps and implement it into survivningmarsmaps.com. That way we would get the info in some way.

If you are able to to do that, then it would save so much time for players like me, the amount of maps me and my friend have done to even find this one map to play on, is way too much. I also would love to find a map where i can go full AI. Where i got extractor AI, Eternal Fusion, Service Bots, The Positronic Brain. All i need is one load of humans, to get the project going. But because we currently can't sort maps after breakthroughs, this style is not possible. There is also a style where you play Agriculture ONLY, and trade for all the other resources. Knowing what you can expect from a map, would determined what style is available, and also let you play around with specific breakthroughs that you personally favor.
