Haha I think the answer physically is still no - but the human imagination does wonders lol
All New & Old Biome Skirts - 1.11
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
That's a pity then. They should at least allow us to pick whatever Map anywhere, like we used to I think? It used to be that you weren't forced to play the special molded SA Tropical map for instance, you could choose the flat one.
I mean beside the starter selection , why does say a temperate Asia restrict you in any way? Delete the spawn building and choose your intended continent/ design theme. The background can be considered a generic wetlands kind of theme that works for many different locations. Like the European farmland map has uses for basically every northern hemisphere temperate zone regardless of what continent you choose from
So it's too yellowish or something like that for Japan?
If I understand it correctly they only work for the Continents they are made for
Seems like there will be some way to choose though but even though the Grass on the original Temperate Map is better for the Area I plan to build in, the Design of the new Asia Map would fit better for what I plan to do
Japan was just an Example. It was a Good Example for parts of Asia that isn't under Permanent Snow for months. So basically it should look like Western EU Grass, which also isn't under months of Snow cover due to a mild Oceanic Climate. Haven't seen the new in-game Asian Temperate Grass to compare if it is yellowish or not.
Is this question for me?
I would rather have my Pin on the Continent for Immersion reasons. Can't really see why Map and Skirt designs would be locked behind Continents even if their File Names are after those Continents. They should be able to be used anywhere just like @Captain Callum said.

Why did you put a Line through that? They should do this (even though they probably won't). I really like having all my Zoos of my Franchise in the right Place
Except on franchise, though
Because putting a line through it makes it funny in my head + it somewhat contradicts what I said before. I'm not expecting that they'll ever update the front-end globe at this point though, as unfortunate as it is.
Yeah I agree with this, just think it isn't really gamebreaking or anything. Just less convenient than it could be.
Surely one of the smaller Quality of Life things, but should be an easy fix too I guess? I'm not an expert on Coding or anything but adding a Dropdown shouldn't be too hard? Globe changes wouldn't be as easy though.

Maybe they'll add it in the patch?
I think that was said specifically for the Temperate EU one?
I think they've only confirmed that it was deleted by Accident and will be added back in. I agree though that we should get a Dropdown Menu for the Map Selection
The only confirmed thing in the patch was restoring the temperate farmland nothing about matching other skirts to other maps. I still believe each map was handcrafted for thier purpose rather than being used interchangeably. Disappointing really but it is what it is
I wish we would get additional Maps with the next Update. I think each Continent-Biome-Combination should have at least 2 besides the original Standard Map
What we have been discussing isn't mixing and matching different Skirts and Maps. It is using the same handcrafted Combo while building on other Continents. So for instance you click somewhere in Asia and then pick the NA or EU Map (and therefore its own Skirt) from a Dropdown.
Ah ok I'm obviously way behind
yeah that's a good idea.If this could become a regular thing it would be great, 12 maps only really scratches the surface for the shear amount of possible biome possibilities
I am very picky about maps and biomes but one thing I don’t care about is the globe location.
So although I’m not that keen on the Asian temperate short grass colour, I will use that map to try the Finnish zoo I have been wanting to make for ages.
The Asian temperate map is the only one with a vaguely discrete background and the only one that comes close to Finland in appearance. But I won’t be able to have snow on the ground and a blue sky as the temperature is too high. But it’s still the least worst option.
I get that for some people it is important that the location is correct so I would suggest that rather than picking Asia temperate map, you pick “temperate map 2” for example and then pick your own location whether by continent or more specific.
Another project I have been planning for literally years is a Dutch city zoo. But I would want the grass colour to be that of the European temperate map. But the Europe temperate map has either mountains or rolling hills. So it’s basically impossible to do anything Dutch without first figuring out how to hide the background.
What I would like to see

What I would like to see
- The ability to select at least our own selection of 8 biome textures if it is not possible to pick from the entire selection.
- The ability to manually control temperature.
- The ability to pick a map independent of location or globe and then assign a location yourself.
