Description:

Volcano Island is a string of islands that were formed from eruptions that occurred in the area many millennia ago. The one featured here is just one of the many in the region that have shaped the islands in and around the area as a whole. This now dormant volcano has left the area rich and fertile, making the whole land teem with flora, and have beautiful white sandy beaches all around. The area is also rich with oil and is nicely positioned between two prominent ship lanes making it ideally located to connect to the rest of the world.

This was a map I built on a whim on a hot, creative-less night, but at the same time, is something that’s been on my mind for a while. As a result, unlike my other maps, this one doesn’t come with a build video. It’s meant to be a tropical map with beaches, and lots of greenery. This map features a large building area at the base of what I consider to be a dormant volcano but also having plenty of little islands around for building resorts, upper class houses, etc. I kinda built this with 81 tiles in mind, so some beaches will stretch out of the 25 tiles building area, but most of them are still within the 25 tiles.

Stats

• The map has ~170k trees and 0 props.
• You shouldn’t need any DLCs to run this map, but you do need two custom trees.

The following mods that affect graphics were at play for the screenshots:

I post regular builds, with live streams from time to time, on my YouTube channel. If you interested in seeing me put some of these maps together, check out my map list playlist: Map builds. Unfortunately this map doesn’t have a full build video, but you can check out the tail end of the build here. Whilst there, feel free to explore the rest of my channel 😉

I hope you enjoy building on this map. If you like the map and want to see more maps, please give it a thumbs up. It really helps get the map noticed by others, and it motivates me to keep creating.

BIG shout out to everyone on the live stream that contributed with ideas during the build.

Happy building!
