hi i have a 2x2 server running with the default map and while i'am having fun there are a few problems already highlighted by others (no way to get mythos, no desert or snow biome etc) and looking at maps others have made i wonder if its even possible to have a map with everything on a 2x2? can anyone confirm? also if anyone have found or made a better then default 2x2 map please share

I edited the standard 2x2 grid that you get with 4 servers and we have a nice mix of islands currently. Still haven't figured out the Mythos stuff, but we are busy learning the islands and game. I am assuming a more friendly map editor will eventually make its way out. Maybe mods will help as well. It is possible to have a good mix with a 2x2, My only concern is taking up too much space with islands and have no place for real sailing on a 2x2.

I used this guide along with some trial and error. I know a few others on here have been successful with creating custom maps as well. It isn't too hard, you just need to know a little about code and how to use FTP.

**edit**

 

Also see this post, they reference the link above as well. I recommend downloading your current map and start with that as a template. That is what I did and it worked pretty well. We had no problems when uploading the new JSON and map files.

oh how i hate the name of this game... can't really look for custom maps on google as 99% of links go to actual atlases, maps or other games

 

You can search "Atlas 2x2 servergrid.json template" or something similar and see if you find some templates.

 

Also the community server help discord is really helpful. You can search in there for ServerGrid.json 2x2 and read the stickies for more templates.

Here is the best 2x2 map I could find, and this is a tutorial on how you can create your own with the quests line from the original server map:

Honestly I think the "perfect map" is a 2x3 because then you can get all 6 climates and use the proper ending suffix islands in the proper areas and get all weather, etc. I know that you can technically put a polar island in a tropical area, but we found this is not as ideal.
