Hi! I’ve done an airport. I have never been on one (and hopefully i won’t need to), so I’d like to ask you is it okay. I know it is really basic and propably lacks some major feature, but hopefully with your advice I can do better. What do you think? By the way, the airport is open to flights up to 800km, so if you want to fly here - message me. And one more question - i’ve used Key:name:de and Key:name:en here, does it display correctly on your computer’s language settings?

Hi there,

on Facebook, I’m following a group called Map Porn. They share Posts about maps and things about maps of any kind. Take a look:

Maybe we could contact the admin team and ask if they would like to feature OGF on their page. What do you think, is this kind of “active marketing” useful?

Greetings, Markus

What railway gauge(s) does your country use? I’m just curious, sorry if this has been discussed before.

Drabantia uses three gauges:

  • 1435 mm - vast majority of tracks
  • 1000 mm - trams in smaller cities/towns (they’re not mapped yet)
  • 760 mm - industrial spurs and railways in mountainous areas (they’re also not mapped yet, heh)

These people on this website seem really nice! I have a few qustions:

-How do I officially make my city? (I dont have a territory yet) -Where should I start for the world lore (I like to read as chronologicaly as possible)?

That’s all, I’ll look more stuff up now…

Anyway, thanks for reading this diary, and could you please direct me to important resources?

<3<3 for all <3xinfinity for people who answer #Commentbait

As the majority of you guys know. This world is extremely wealthy when compared to earth because most people want a country that is rich. Of course I felt the urge to build a United States like country since I live in the U.S, and I am sure it is the same for msot of you guys. I so far have not made any extremely wealthy countries but made two nations that likely will be middle of the road. Hoppon somewhere between China/Malaysia/Eastern Europe levels of development. Lallemand, better than most African nations but still pretty poor. I want to ask more specifically if any of you guys implement poverty into you mapping. By what I mean, extremely wealthy areas even in a high density situation are lower density (30 apartments per floor vs. 4) while poor areas are a lot higher density. This is not true across the board but can be followed in any country that isn’t the U.S.

Also as someone who is interested in criminal activity (don’t take this the wrong way), just as much as city planning. Almost every city I build have accompanying murder rates to follow. I was wondering how is criminal activity in your country. Who commits crimes? Is it poor immigrants? Is it teenagers or young adults? Or is it middle aged men (gangsters)? Is it rural people moving to an urban environment? How do gangs normally start in your country, or is there even any gangs?

their are some pages, that you can add to the dark side of your cities if you want to http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/List_of_cities_by_homicide_rate As mentioned early since I like detective shows and the history of crime and how policies have been made that lower or higher crime etc. Most cities on this list are from my nation of Lallemand.

Hey there, Welcome to OGF, I’d like to remind you of some short things:

1st: CALM…DOWN… we all do mistakes, no ones gonna rip your head off for doing mistakes.

2nd: CALM….DOWN… Yes we saw that deleted coastline or messed up border etc., no thats not a reason to panic or be ashamed or whatever. Also mind that OGF tends to take its time so checking the next morning should be early enough to proudly look at your mapping results.

3rd: CALM…….DOWN…. Everyone starts from the bottom, but before asking if we are ok with every little detail It’d be useful if you read through the help pages and wiki articles before. Maybe that’ll help you decide, afterall if its not unrealistic its ,your’ country (if you claimed your own already) and you can do whatever you have planned.

Have Fun and Happy Mapping :)

(If this also doesnt help make sure to bother the admins with your questions hehe)

Hi!

I have a question especially to the admin team. My edits north of the polar circle take unusually long to be seen on the map during the last days and were only partly completed (the rendering process seemed to stop an a certain line which randomly(?) matches with the northern polar circle). Currently, it took more than one day even on the higher zoom levels until the content shows up, and somehow, on one zoom level, the map wasn’t updated for three days. And some edits around the Frederikshöfn area show up only partly on different map styles and only different zoom levels, too. I’ve never experienced that kind of weird rendering behaviour. Were/are there any rendering problems? And in general, what are the rendering intervals for the map?
