Northern Disc Map

[pulsemods]

Map based on this city prototype.

General Area: The Northern Disc is where everything but large scale production happens. Everything from retail, schools, homes, innovation, and offices reside here. It's mostly covered by forests (light green), with the northern half tropical, and the lower half temperate. The inner hexagon (dark green) has forests (spread out), a zoo spread out in the northwest, a desert area in the northeast, a beach in the southeast, an amusement part in the southwest, and a desert in the northeast. The Southwest is the only portion that experiences snow.

Standard Amenities for all buildings*: regional malls & general retail, restaurants, gyms, schooling/daycare up to American 8th grade, post office, groceries, convenience stores, doctor/dental/specialist/optometrist offices, emergency room, housing, movie theater, live show theater, police office, fire station, emergency transit, transit hub, building government offices, library, hotels, some farms, small gardens, helipads, trees, lounge spaces, small spas, etc; enough to be somewhat self-sufficient, company satellite offices

*Exception is the Seoul Skyfarm. See its listing for specific amenities. Otherwise, all buildings have a minimum of at LEAST these amenities, and any amenities listed are additional.


NOTES TO SELF:
Someplace for an aquarium, biggest mall, biggest art gallery, etc.
