this looks awesome, i’m gonna love this when it’s ready i think, i hope though that even once you get past the “pre-made” area that highway connections to/from each city are made for the most part, that’s easily my main gripe about mapgen currently is that you’re really just feeling around in the dark with no good way to tell where the next town or city vaguely is.
bit of a shame that doing it properly is being given up on, but oh well.
if people really don’t want to give up on procedural why not try literally reading all the data needed from a source like google maps? would be neat to play a game with a 1:1 (scale, but still) map where you could literally go find your own house and it’s not like the data isn’t being prepared, harvested and arranged already, just who knows about getting it.
of course literally all of it would be static in that case though.
