Hello everybody,
  I have been a big fan of project zomboid for quite a while now and since the beginning I have been fantasizing about a PZ in a European environment. I tried to create a small part of the coastline near Cherbourg. It's my first map on PZ.   Eventually I would like to cover the whole area around Cherbourg with the nuclear power plant in the West (La Haie) and the more rural and fishing area in the East. But that's something that will be possible only when the creative mod is avaiale as the region covered is too big for manual editing.   I had several objectives while creating this map: - Fun roads. I have been very impressed by the vehicle update and it is clear that vehicles will become an essential part of the gameplay. But in the current maps, roads are straight, and not very varied, so I tried to bring the spirit of small French roads, with many branches. Also I have reproduced the "boccage" structure of the fields so when you drive around you can't necessarily see inside the crop fields which I think gives incentive to stop from the car and have a look around by feet.   - Interesting coastline. I went for a "lande"-ish coastline as it is hard to give a sense of elevation. For now it looks very empty but I'm planning to make new vegetation for this specifically.   I'm planning on adding new tiles also, the goals is to use the vanilla tileset as much as possible but I have started making a new tileset.   I'm also planning, but for much later, to make boats. I already have one or two models that are close to completion. (sail yacht and motor yacht) I guess it should be doable to create one out of the template from the vehicle. (big assumption, I could be very wrong)   I had a few questions for people used to mod maps:   - Is it possible to apply a vegetation biome using WorldEd? For now I have only pine trees, which are not really adequate for my environment. I would like to have fruit trees and such. Is it something I have to do manually? - I had seen a while ago a video where you could see a developer scatter vegetation on the fly, is it something that exists within tilezed or it's a future feature of the creative mod? - Is there a centralized DB with all .tmx building created by the comumnity? I wish to consult and contribute! - Is there any "populate" tool in Tilezed that I should know about before getting started? Like for roads for instance? - Do you have any piece of advice for me? Remarks, suggestions...?   TLDR: I'm making a new map based on Normandy, France   Thank you for reading

* Manhattown
Unfinished mod, based on a part of Manhattan.

Place the "Manhattown" folder inside your  ".../Zomboid/Workshop" folder to explore (no foraging).
 
What is there to explore?
 
 

I am redirecting my post from modding to map as i did not realize there was a category for map only.
Here is the original post for details:  https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/23230-map-of-normandy-france/
I have attached a section of the map, where most of the towns will be (where there is sand essentially)
 
I have reposted the larger map also

It took me a few days to check what you were saying. Indeed when exported to the game, the vegetation changes and uses the full nature tileset. In my case I'm quite happy with it as it brings a lot more variety to forest and woods. So I'm ok with it!
And I checked rules.txt, perfect! ty!
 
(I have forwarded the post to the "map" category) which makes more sense:

i asked about this before and one of the devs said that you cant do it because of how the erosion system works, it takes all the nature ur placed and basically randomizes it to the erosion system. he was more indepth about it but i cant find his post so this is the short version of it 
 
something about this map standing out from all the others, its really breathtaking. great work seriously!!!
