Nativel Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Game map was made from real world map and some developer start add building that is not exist in real world, why? What for? Will you continue add building and cities, like Riverside where we have chemical plant instead of city? So game map will become sandbox instead of real world map copy.

Faalagorn Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I'm not sure, but I have impression that the game wasn't supposed to be 1:1 copy with the real world, though you have a point about some buildings could not exist back in 1990s. About the two new buildings in Muldraugh; I personally like them, though they might have been exported by mistake. gabriel rodrigues brandao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burger_Time Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The map was never really supposed to be a 100% copy of the real world and I don't really see how adding some new buildings could possibly hurt the game in any way? gabriel rodrigues brandao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nativel Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 What do you choose If developers will add some random buildings around cities we already have or they will add Louisville? https://www.google.ru/maps/@38.0980454,-85.8860136,10.5z It's not possible to add both at the same time, because they spent time on add or create new city.

Based on =/= A full on copy. I don't see how a single building can hurt a whole map. If you believe the map should be a 100% accurate recreation of the real world towns I think you need to reconsider the things that you value in games. You don't even live there, and I'm certain you didn't even know those towns existed before you played the game, so there's no way a building can ruin your immersion or whatever. gabriel rodrigues brandao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The map is based off of the area in Northern Kentucky and it shares a lot of similarities in general landscape and town location. Also Knox Country is not even the real name for the area the game takes place in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area we had during early alphas was dubbed Knox County, but the Louisville and surrounding cities we already have in game are not even a part of it. I get your point, but there's no reason to panic; you won't be able to recreate an area 1:1 anyway with the tools zomboid have (map scale is just 1 tyle and there's not enough tile types plus there's no easy way to see all buildings that existed 20+ years ago) and no game really attempted it in the first place (there'd be privacy issues when you'd have to model each and every house for example) and it's fine, we don't even know if these buildings stay, but I really like them, especially the one you mentioned. gabriel rodrigues brandao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaGrey Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 It’s a video game, not a 1:1 sim of real life. Even the current map isn’t a perfect representation, so I’m at a loss as to what the problem is.
