THE SUMMER ISLES - TROPICAL EDITION
This map is based on the Lakeland map. Gone are the cold Winter months, instead The Summer Isles enjoy vibrant Sun all year round, with a light breeze flowing through the Palm tree rich paradise. With lots of beautiful Insta-Friendly views and Wildlife, The Summer Isles are sure to be the new tourist destination of choice.
THIS MAP IS FOR BEGINNERS OR PEOPLE THAT:
1: want sunshine all year round, no rain or snow.
2: want plenty of flat resource rich areas for easy construction.
3: don't have loads of time to throw at the game due to work or family commitments - all high flow infrastructure is in place, some collectors, decorations plus other time savers.
4: may struggle to build a naturally beautiful layout, no more single concrete characterless wastelands. This is a map that encourages you to follow a predefined path, suggestions on the map for key areas and service buildings with green space between. Follow or ignore, the choice is yours.
MAP STATS
Theme: European (You can change this)
Climate (Summer Only): 11c - 27c
Buildable area: 45%
Population: Up to 1.2m
Outside connections: Road, Rail, Shipping & Air
Fertile land: 196 km2
Wood: 717 kt
Oare: 62.6 kt
Oil: 41.5 kt
FORESTS
If you wish to add forests, the mixture is as follows:
High density: 100% Florida Palm, Coconut Palm & Royal Palm - 75% Chestnut, Hickory, Lindon, Oak & Pine - 50% Green Bush Wild 01, Green Bush Wild 02 & Flower Bush City 01.
For medium and low density flora I used: 50%/35%/20% and 30%/20%/10%.
MODS
I recommend you use the 529 Tile mod to get the best use of this map, and if you would prefer to relocate resources, grab the Extra Landscaping Tools mod. Some elements on my maps might require the Better Bulldozer mod if you wish to remove items that cannot be removed using the vanilla bulldozer tool. I also recommend grabbing the Anarchy mod, just in case you have any issues in game when working on some existing custom elements that may exist on a map.
SHOUT-OUTS
Thanks to Piccana and Mike Builds, I built 1 intersection (in part or full) from each YouTube channel, visit them, they have great content!
INFORMATION
If you encounter any issues with this map, please report them to me via this map on PDX Mods or the dedicated thread I have setup on the Paradox forum (search Maps by Darren3331 - dedicated link can be found on PDX Mods).
I hope you enjoy this map, if you do, please give it a thumbs up, it helps me know what style maps are preferred when planning future projects; thank you.
