Can anyone send me any info or tutorials they have on map making for Satisfactory?

I'm looking to learn Map making for Satisfactory and willing to take on whatever level of difficulty it is to make a map. I have some very cool idea's for a map mod and really want to bring them to life so any and all info on map development would be greatly appreciated.

Just to clarify, are you talking about map making as in a minimap or map overhaul like Ortho Minimap or Cartographer, or are you talking about creating a new world map to play within like HexFactory or Empty World Blank Map Level?

ExampleMod has ExampleLevel and there's docs on how to create your own level (which begins by copying ExampleLevel since configuring everything properly is a pain)

a entire like, whole playable map like HexFactory more of, I understand that some people have larger needs than what satisfactory supplies, some people love huge maps with long stretching supply lines and etc so i want to appeal to those people by doubling/tripling the already existing satisfactory map and keeping the expanded version of the current map accurate to the game's lore so the regular map would be in this expanded mod, plus a extended version in every direction

Note that the existing map is not available in the editor

But if you want to extend it, you could try doing a cursed thing: load it as a level instance into your own bigger level Then deal with the aftermath
