If you would like to add more live reefs yourself, sign up for Prop and Tree Anarchy mod, which allows you to place anything underwater (that’s how I turned roses into corals ? )
To keep the corals their best color, use No Radioactive Desert mod, which keeps trees in contact with water their correct color

A huge thank you to all the great content creators whose trees and assets make this map possible
Tto TPB especially for making the Terrain Themes mod and the Theme that made this map come to life (not to mention all the rocks and trees as well!) Get more creations from him here:
And to all the community in the SkylinesNation Facebook group, who really deserve a huge credit for joining in the creative process by offering tips, ideas and critique as I went along the process of creating this map.
Have fun! – MrMIyagi

b About the map’s creation process: The skeleton of the central island is the mountains of Tol Island, Micronesia, which was run through Wilbur geological modeling program for initial realistic custom erosion changes, and then the rest (waterfalls, lakes, barrier islands, coral formations in lagoons including outer fringe reef formation and water depths, surrounding islands) was done by hand.. painstakingly. If you’d like to learn about Wilbur and how much fun making maps can be, see my guide here:
c The Challenge: the third highway and rail connection are a distance from the start square (which has two neightbor connections to get you off to a good start) Edit 12/31: Moved the third connections closer to the start square.
If working around this terrain is challenging (it’s meant to be mwuahaha), or placing down roads is not your favorite thing to do, we convinced ThornApple to publish his save of this map with his streets laid out for you. You must have the Traffic ++ mod for his save game to work for you.
