Map is mostly random. There might be some adjustments to influence how the map would be, but it's still mostly random.

So back to your question:
1 - You want to create a specific looking map? (this will be nearly impossible)
2 - You just want some new map to play on?

I was looking for ways of how we could generate or create our own maps. Looking at the Modding section, I saw a couple of people created their own maps and I was wondering how is this possible?

Is there an external link where we could create our own maps? That is the question... it would be cool if we could create our own maps if that's possible....

For random map: (I'm too lazy to type it all over again)

Thank you! My bad, I should've scrolled through the topics...

Looks a bit complicated... they should've made a simplified version of creating maps...

Not really complicated. Three main steps:

1 - Create your Scenarios folder.
2 - Download the vanilla scenarios and unzip them into your Scenarios folder.
3 - Open the scenario file with any text editor and edit the map seed. Save.

Now you just have to launch the game and look at the new (random) map. If it's not good, repeat step 3. If it is good, then enjoy.

Note:

- Changing the map seed will make any save with the old seed incompatible.
- There are six maps in Continental Dawn. They are independent from each other in term of map.
- Scenarios in your Scenarios folder are also independent from the vanilla scenarios.

Thank you for the response!

i always thought making your own map would be cool. there was one map that i thought would be cool, it was called savanna and had natural farming bushes everywhere. enough that it looked like you wouldn't have to make farms (maybe just a few)and just use work areas. sadly the map had virtually no sticks and not many trees which made the game suck too much. too bad, it would of been nice to play a game where farming wasn't such a major factor, just to play a game that's a bit different.

You can use override to add more of everything. Wild food to stick, megalith, mineral,...
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2378224362

Override is part of an "environment" for the map. What can you control in an "environment" file:
- Map flatness: from completely flat to hilly, or mountainous. Mainly set a "noise" profile, then generate a playable map.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<environment>
<noise_amplitudes values="0.325 0.325 0.025 0.075 0.075 0.025 0.025 0.025"/>

- Flora and fauna available in the scenario: type of animal, tree, wild food.

- General resource multiplier. For tree density, it seems 1 (or 100%) is max.

<global_tree_density value="1"/>
<resource_factor value="1.5"/>

- Season length (total need to add up to 1), temperature, chance of rain/storm, fish restock

<seasons>
<season id="Spring" setup_id="Spring" duration="0.3" precipitation_chance="0.3" windy_chance="0.25" very_windy_chance="0.1" fish_boost="1.0">
<min_temperature value="10"/>
<max_temperature value="25"/>
</season>

<season id="Summer" setup_id="Summer" duration="0.275" precipitation_chance="0.0" windy_chance="0.125" fish_boost="1.0">
<min_temperature value="20"/>
<max_temperature value="35"/>
</season>

<season id="Fall" setup_id="Fall" duration="0.275" precipitation_chance="0.25" windy_chance="0.25" very_windy_chance="0.1" fish_boost="1.0">
<min_temperature value="5"/>
<max_temperature value="25"/>
</season>

<season id="Winter" setup_id="Winter" snow_setup_id="WinterSnow" duration="0.15" precipitation_chance="0.25" windy_chance="0.25" very_windy_chance="0.25" fish_boost="1.0" reduced_fauna="true">
<min_temperature value="-5"/>
<max_temperature value="15.0"/>
</season>
</seasons>

- Specific resource override:

<tree_override_prototypes>
<tree_override_prototype><id value="Oak"/>
<density value="0.75" />
<min_altitude value="-1.0" />
<max_altitude value="50"/>
<min_angle value="-1.0" />
<max_angle value="60"/>
</tree_override_prototype>
</tree_override_prototypes>
<deposit_override_prototypes>
<deposit_override_prototype>
<id value="Flint"/>
<density value="0.25" />
<min_altitude value="5" />
<max_altitude value="30"/>
<min_angle value="5" />
<max_angle value="60"/>
</deposit_override_prototype>
</deposit_override_prototypes>

I just read your post by chance, I am the one who made the scenario "Savanna", It is an event scenario and especially made for its purpose.
If you like the map, you can edit the script, putting more trees and sticks the way you want and get rid of the events.
I really do not mind if you do so, I make scenarios for fun and do not expect recognition.
You can copy at your heart's content.
If you need help doing this, I will be glad to do so.
Good gaming!

I HAVE JUST ADDED OPTIONS TO PLAY THIS SCENARIO WITH MORE TREES AND STICKS ON TOP SELECTION.
