SNAFU - JapanWorld (no factions)
"Beauty and harmony, governed by one enteral law.
All that begins, must end.
The reign of the ol' Empire, is over!"
This world shows a complete oversized satellite view of Japan. Including all 47 prefectures of Japan, plus Hokkaido's subprefectures and some bits of the Ryukyu Island chain!
(this is my first mod i made for rimworld)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: "Why Hokkaido Prefecture has multiple subprefectures. And why some are numbered and some not?”
1. Because I don't want this entire Prefecture just empty island, so I added all 14 subprefectures
2. At one point in 2008-2010, the government tried to cut out five subprefectures, which is Hidaka, Hiyama, Ishikari, Nemuro, and Rumoi. But the 5 said no, besides I don't know the rest of the story.
Question: "Why some parts of Ryukyu Island Chain and Kuril Islands cut out?"
Answer: Because Rimworld planets are not flat! And it would slightly challenging to add the rest due to the planet tilting in a angle.
Question: "Why there is a 100 Km (62 miles) mark on the map and what’s up with ice sheets?"
1. Japan is pretty big country in Kilometers anyway, so just use it as reference!
2. This is represents bridges connecting islands like Shikoku to Honshu (main island) plus a concept bridge to connect to Kyushu!
The one that connects Honshu to Hokkaido represents the Seikan Tunnel, because it is geographically impossible to build a bridge there due to weather and deep waters in the Tsugaru Strait, so they resorted to building a underwater tunnel roadway deep in the sea!
Question: "When will you add factions, rivers and roadways?"
Answer: When Ferny updates the mod with more option like factions, rivers and roads.
