plop VS Cities-Skylines-heightmap-generator

Almost all of us, while working on a project, are copy/pasting from the previous one while creating similar structures. While thinking if there is a fast way to do this, I came across plop js.

In this article, I will talk about Plop, which is a little tool that saves you time and helps your team build new files with consistency, as the documentation suggests.

My tool of choice is Plop.js. Plop is a powerful "micro-generator framework" built to help maintain patterns as well as speed up your project build time. From the documenation:

When it comes to software development, a good developer experience (or DX) is a key aspect in helping the development process to become faster and more efficient. Having a good DX means that developers are focusing on the real deal while other, less important stuff, is being taken care of by automated tools. Such a tool is Plop which I really love for its simplicity and efficiency.

this allows you to import this Header component with import { Header } from 'path/Header' without Header/Header. Creating this structure manually is annoying, so one will benefit from some code generators like plop or hygen.

I have used heightmap.skydark.pl in the past and have successfully downloaded stuff from it, but now it gives me that warning whenever I try to download anything.

I used SkyDark to get the roads overlay and the Overlay mod to bring the image in-game to trace the roads. I also use Google Earth when looking at specific locations, because OSM (the platform Skydark uses to gather road maps and height maps) sometimes will route paths/roads that don’t actually exist.

Doesn't work anymore . Use this instead https://heightmap.skydark.pl/

It already exists! It imports roads from OpenStreeMap. Combine it with a heightmap from heightmap.skydark.p to get the terrain. But the result is pretty janky and you need to go through and fix a lot. You can see a video demonstration by Justin Nobbs

However I am stuck at the map making side of things because of Water levels. Where I live is basically flat terrain except for where the number of rivers creeks and ponds (natural and man made) are however when importing a hight map into Cities Skylines via Skydark nothing really changes and if I match the sea level to the beaches hardly anything else gets filled in with water and if i try and manually add the water sources I always get loads of flooding. Ive tried fiddling with the settings to the Water Depth and Base Level around but nothing seems to change.

I've used heightmap.skydark.pl to demonstrate the building of real cities in CS1, and how that will change if CS2 has a smaller buildable area.

try heightmap.skydark.pl

Here is a link to my go to map editor. It also has some street importing functionality. Might need to read up on exactly how it works. It’s been a while.

You can also try working with a heightmap of a real world location using https://heightmap.skydark.pl/ Set the water depth to 60 if you want shellfish/tuna. Check the max height in your selected area doesn't exceed the max height in game (1024m) including ocean depth. Use the height scale to bring it down, you may want to do this anyways if you like more flat areas. Then download the image file and import into the map editor. You may need to repeat this process a few times to get it right. It will need a lot of smoothing but can quickly produce much of the landscape. Then set your water level, put in forests and resources, highways and other networks.
