Working on Phase 4, looked up and noticed this. Kudos to you if you can guess where in the map this is just looking at the image.
A clue, built the bridge a while ago as a key link spanning two new regions. I needed the nodes underneath it for a major component in Phase 4.
I'll guess grassy fields, North of the starting location in that biome. Near the four iron nodes by the cliff. On the other side of the cliff (Northwest) is the coal nodes with the little lake that's perfect for a power plant....
Which would make that bridge go from long beach (aka the "gold coast") and.... Blue crater/swamps area.... I think.
Oh my god you're correct, I think! Between grassy fields and blue crater, directly over the empty hole. We paved over it and built nuclear pasta down there thanks to the water wells and the copper nodes
I was very close. You seem to describe the bottomless pit between grassy fields and the red forest, where the large waterfall cliff is. My guess was closer to the starting location. IIRC the starting point for grassy fields is on the bluff near the pond. If you jump down the bluff, there's three normal iron nodes in a valley where most people build their first starter bases... North is four impure nodes in a different Valley. Which is the location I was thinking. If you go east from there, to the valley that runs north, and turn north, towards the red forest and walk for about a minute or two, you get to the bottomless pit, where the cliff is, that you need to climb to get to the red forest.
I love grassy fields, it's a great place for iron and copper production. There's a few ponds just deep enough for water extractors and a pressure well for water as well, and there's two coal nodes of you want to get steel.... Two pretty good caterium nodes towards long beach, and even sulfur not far from one of the coal nodes for noblisks.
"Good enough" levels of limestone for concrete, and you have a pretty decent starting location. You don't need to leave the biome to build through most of the early to mid milestones, right up until you hit oil.... Then you're SOL. You have to head to Blue crater, long beach, or up to the spire coast (north, middle of the map) to find oil.
I usually venture out to the coal area where there's a lake, just Northwest of grassy fields once I get coal, since it makes a great coal generator plant and it's nearby, so not much in terms of running power lines across the country side before you get advanced power, and power towers.
That usually sets me up for power until I get to oil, when I head up long beach. The four oil nodes there (2 pure, 2 normal) are good for power (and plastic from the polymer resin), especially if you use the heavy oil residue alternate... Since those nodes are kinda far from everything, I just use regular fuel.
So those areas I know pretty well. I can tell from the trees that it's close to there, the density and type of trees is pretty specific to that area in the south west...
You definitely got the closest compared to everyone else, the haze I think gives it away. I agree, I've spent hundreds of hours there. I always end up bridging the world hole there with some fancy bridge for the rail line, and paving over it gives a nice large even space to work on.
I love that the coal there always becomes one of the first farther away places. You start with just enough to get power online, but then you learn about steel and you're like "oh fuck". And then you start realizing how big your build is going to be.... And then you're at 1000 hours
Don't I know it...
Ah we're showing off ;)
Crazy how time flies huh?
Guess it's about time to start another factory
~13 more days?
I'm trying to hold out on creating a new one until the 10th.
