Regional map puzzle

Game World Map (v1.40, ~v1.62)
Game World Map (v1.64~)
Game World Map (v1.4+v1.64)

I added an HRV that is not on the v1.64 map.
So the disappearing HRV may no longer be there.

Game World Map (v1.89~)


World map + Region maps

I tried arranging all the region maps on top of the world map, but some regions overlapped. Download Full size (21,182×14,580)[drive.google.com]

Separated world regions map

It is natural that the map handwritten with charcoal is not accurate. Then I separated the map so that the regions did not overlap. Download Full size (21,182×21,182)[drive.google.com]

Confused sun movement (v1.8x)

When I read the guide – Travel Guide by Repconn and Gecko – [link] , It said,

And while we’re at it, here is a map showing the location of the regions and the still confusing movement of the sun. You can see this very nicely if you travel from ML or BR to FM under good weather conditions at noon. The sun then jumps by 180° to the other side of the railway line.

I previously made a region map puzzle to follow the game’s world map as much as possible.

This time, I changed the positional relationship and size of the region map from the actual one so that the main area can be seen as easily as possible, and aligned the upper side.

And I observed the sunrise and sunset in some regions and saw that those mess still remained.

I know that Hinterland once fixed the direction of the sun (v.1.16 patch). However, I’ve seen Hinterland respond to a request to fix those bugs since then, as follows: “The direction of the sun is not important, so the correction will be postponed.” And it hasn’t been fixed in the current version yet…

Not Spoiler map

Fix: PV

Stick-North (or Game North)

If you drop an item while you are outdoors, most items will point in the same direction each time.
At this time, the direction pointed by the stick or arrow is tentatively called “Stick North”.
Stick-North is based on the ingame coordinate system (It appear in debug screenshots by F8 key).
Stick-North and Direction of the sun and Ingame map has no relationship nothing each other.

Map Puzzle – Topology (Update – v1.89 Ash Canyon)

Note: There are spoilers about connecting region maps.

I previously made a map of the movement of the sun. This time it’s a more abstract map puzzle, Enjoy!

Map01

First, I symbolized and abstracted the world map with icons and lines. (I’m not good at English)
This simplifies the map while matching the positional relationship with the actual world map as much as possible.
I tried to mean beachcombing with a wave icon.

Map01b

Next, I’ve made some region icons on the first map slightly offset to make it simpler. which do you like?

Map02

I moved the position of some more region icons to transform the map. However, the connection between regions has not changed. This map straightened the railroad tracks. Straight from BR to DP.

Map03

I transformed the map more. Regions are mostly cross-shaped except BI. This is similar to the map made by Ax Man.

Map04

Based on Map01, I made transition zones and caves icons.

Map05

Based on Map04, I added arrows where I needed rope climbing to move. Therefore, we have divided the MT, BI, and Ravine icons into two.

If you know another nice map, please let me know, Thanks!

Old version official map

Great Bear Mountain, the setting of The Long Dark from thelongdark


The layout is quite different from the current version of the map, but interesting.
Even connecting caves and mines are drawn there.
