Hi Luca,

Nice development on the small island. I agree with you getting rid of the seaside walk.
Windbiter's fingers looks very nice, lot's of variety.
The rapids look thunderous.
try to remember pressing G before taking pics. It makes them so much nicer.

Great overview and fantastic two new pictures!

[Rayden]

Nice scenic pictures, I love the rapids/waterfalls 

[dedgren]

Luca, hey-

They could put your "rapids" pic next to the word "gorge" in the dictionary and not need to waste any additional words.

Does your ferry landing generate its own power, or are you using one of those power generation lots next to it?  I always have a challenge with remote sited stuff in my regions.

I'll be watching for Update 2.0.

Hi David Thsnks for your visit!!
As for the ferry landing I use a power generating lot, as in the following picture

Great mini-update, meldolion! I love the rapids, they look fantastic! And the mountain lake looks great, too! Keep up the good work!

Like the update (half an update ),  Love the rapids, and I use that power lot myself quite a bit......question tho.....what rock texture do you use?   I sure do like it.

Thanks your visit! I'm happy you find my attempts worth
As for the rock texture I use Peg's Rock Mod - Limestone (Link), for the terrain I use Meadowshire with the Olympic Beach

[kwakelaar]

Certainly a good start for your MD the small town with the beach and the rapids are well done.

Thanks for the info my friend....went directly to Pegs (thanks for the linkie) and of course stayed for half an hour and downloaded a bunch of stuff ....oh well..

Great update, the rapids down the mountain looks very good and so does the ferry landing.  What's next?

An overview of the city:

Hi Luca,

Nice rural update.

How to make the powerplant more realistic?
If you prefer to use this transformator with powerlnes I would use different power lines. I believe they are made by Fukuda and are found on STEX here
I would loose the street ring as the sand road (that comes with the fences) should be enough for service personnel to enter the site. Then I would use jestarr's HVPowerLines to draw a powerline across the fences and use from there on the usual powerlines if need be.

Finally why put the powerplant way up in the mountain. If you look around in the country side you see a lot of powerlines with substations between the fields.

Great rural images! Wonderful update!

[Cali]

really beautiful farms

[thundercrack83]

Your farms, are beautiful meldolion! I love how they surround the little town of Salidar. Great update!

[oldrogue]

Excellent work, my kind of area....well, at least the kind of area that I enjoy working on the most......beautiful......meets the first criteria of a town that I am building.....Would I live there...... and for this town the answer is yeppers!

[Heinz]

great work mel! (if i may call you that)
   coming from a generally agricultural country (Philippines) and an archipelago at that, i really enjoy seeing islands that are almost self-sufficient. your "trekking" island, tremalking is a good example. and the rural areas surrounding a small town are commonplace here, too. good luck developing!
