Wow, I am genuinely gobsmacked by how the difference in camera and skybox changes the feel of the game. Suddenly, it’s so much more expansive and environmental. Can you please share exactly which mods you use for this? I need my game to be like this.

The three mods I used are:
First Person Camera
Allows for more flexible camera control.
Better Camera + Better Skies
Allows you to see the sky.
Better Camera and FOW
Press Left Ctrl + F10 or F11 to remove the distant Fog of War.

Thanks very much! Amazing! Every time I look at your and Isaac’s pictures I am incredulous at what feels like a totally new version of Farthest Frontier. The world feels so much more ambient, alive, beautiful. More like the concept art of the game, in fact. I think my games are going to never be the same with these mods! Devs, take note.

When I first loaded these mods, my jaw just dropped and I just kept sitting in front of the screen without moving cause I couldn’t get my head around this beauty. Meanwhile the raiders slowly captured my whole settlement

Do these mods require more memory or processing power?
I only use these mods for taking screenshots, so I haven’t noticed any performance impact during my short play sessions.
That said, I imagine the increased rendering distance puts more load on the system.
If you’re only looking to improve the QoL of the gameplay, I’d recommend using Better Camera + Better Skies by itself.

I love this castle and town! It’s the kind of realistic medieval vibe I like to build towards, too. But it’s so hard to find mountains that will work for a keep on top. How long did it take you to terraform this?

I looked up in my savegames. Seems like the most part had been flattened around year 21. But then I sometimes expanded a bit in later years successively. But, I didn’t start terraforming right away since I also had to build my city and infrastructure and so on. I think I started around year 9.
Yes, I totally love these medieval immersion as well.

I’ll put this in a separate thread in a minute, too. This map got me quite intrigued.

I keep staring at your pics… it’s soooo well done! I’d love to see more. Real medieval mountain castle town inspo! I’m dreading the terraforming to try to do something similar though, haha.
Haha, thanks mate 
You know, I could upload my save if you like and you can walk through my medieval town yourself?
Also, what if I told you that it’s actually a riverside town. 
Took me ages to find that seed. Will upload some pictures of that part too, once it’s finished.
Stunning and beautiful. Love the sophisticated layout, clever arrangement of fortifications and, as a fan of small islands in general, how you intergrated them into you town.

What a beautiful city—and what a great use of space!
What are the seed and parameters for this map?
From higher up the thread.
