I need to try this out sometime. But that is crazy! 64 of these maps would fill my hard drive completely if it were empty.
Thanks. :) A good moment to try this out will come in November or December, when I load the next version of the map up. With the new buildings in Königsdorf, it will be the biggest update so far. But Königsdorf will be still very unfished.

2. This map is bigger than windows.
Thanks. And it has more Windows as Windows. :P
I think, in the next time, I will build at the labyrinth too. I have an idea for a temple there. :D

----------------

This weekend, I wan't to build a large store there in the large building pit in the front:

Wrong thread? It looks, like it's for a new own thread for your map. ;)
And if you do that, can you make an image of the refinery too?

In future, in Königsdorf, should be a refinery too. Next to an harbor. Thanks to the Mese Post Lights, I think its build-able. But before I do that, there is much to do. (On the list are: a cinema, an arcology, a few skyscrapers, many normal houses, a pedestrian area, a channel with a lock, a air raid shelter, a incinerator etc etc etc... I need TIME. :D

The answer is: No I can't. It's far away from finished. Very far away.
Here two images from the actual progress:

From the front it is an ugly big shop, like the most of them it dosn't fit in with the surroundings.
You can see, the inside of the shop is empty yet. Only the escalator and the ceiling lighting is placed.

I didn't want the back quite so ugly like the front. So I designed every side of the building different. Its a big modern block of an house still.

In the basement, there will be other little shops and stalls.
The bridge will be go to a second part of the big shop in the future.

It should be ugly between the nice houses, like the real big shops in the cities. Ugly but not common...

I think, the back of the shop is OK, but the front... The front is too common. You're right. So I designed the front new. With very ugly small windows:

I think, now it is better.
Time to build the inside of the house.

Today, I have a new version of the map for you: Karsthafen_2017-11-12 (3.5 GB)

This time, I don't alter the title of the thread like the other times. The download has no new finished areas, that can be explored. But it has very much new things on the map like big buildings in Königsdorf. The last two months, I had much time for Minetest... :D
And in a future version of the map, the new parts from this time will be a full area. :)

And here is a picture of the edge of Königsdorf:

Yeah! I plan to build a nice old supermarket building too. But I need a break from supermarkets in Königsdorf... So, I plan to build Gründerzeit style residences in the next time.

On the last download version, had anybody found the space station yet?

The Houses at the other side of the street are nearly finished, so I hope, I can complete this stretch of road next Weekend. And then, I plan, to work at the supermarket building again...

I'm so surprised with this map so far. Near to 5 years ago you started building this map now that I realize it; I suppose it's the oldest Minetest map that still is being build. Congrats!

Thanks. :)
My Karsthafen Map will be 5 years old at the 7.5.2018. :)
I don't know, if there are Servers that are older and still being build...
At the moment, I plan, to upload the next version of the map at the 7.5. ;)

Not in the street, but in a close-by front yard, I build it for you:

Finaly, the supermarket is finished. :]
I will not build a second supermarket for a long time. But in the remote future, I will build a mall...

Here you see the whole "Zentral Kauf" supermarked:

I hope, you like the new building.

The next big building, I want to build is a multiplex cinema.

My first video of the map:

https://youtu.be/tTD4oXFoUdU

This video shows only the desert town "Rote Stadt". In the future, I will make more videos of the other parts of the map.

Comments, what is good and what is bad in this video are welcome. Only with critics, my next videos can be better...

Please just active cinematic camera! it will feel smoother!

BTW: how's going the size of the map? Do I have to get a hard drive just for this map?

map.sqlite
Size: 7.9 GiB (8.471.804.928)

I think, 12 GiB free space on your hard drive is enough for Karsthafen. ;)
(For the map and the downloaded tar.gz at the same time...)

And here is my second video of the map:

In this video, I show you the underground city Svartálfaheimr. You find this city under the Devils Tower, or with the Subway from Karsthafen. (At the Station Karstburg with the Line 3.)

Comments, what is good and what is bad in this video are welcome again. ;)

And here is my third video of the map:

Image

https://youtu.be/K5vDbjtAnZc

In this video, I show you the Devils Tower near of the city Karsthafen. This Building is one of the oldest on the map, and at the moment, the biggest. Inside are Restaurants, a public swimming pool, a parkour, hotels, a prison, a aquarium and more... From the Inside of the tower, the video shows only the main attractions.

Comments, what is good and what is bad in this video are welcome again. ;)

If nothing goes wrong, the next version of the map will be ready to download at the 7.5. :)
To this date, I want to finish the "Weltenrennen" (Worlds Race) and the powered train tracks in the subway. I hope, 3 Weekends are enough for that, and with a little luck, for the Buildings direct behind the supermarket and the new cinema too.

And the next movie for youtube, I want to release at the same day as the map. It should be a short introduction of the map.

Here a picture from the marketplace of Königsdorf:

^ Why does this pesky guy always tells what I wanted to say before me and better than me this is bullying i'm so sad xD

I have only one thing that I think can be improved! (on the last screeny you've posted): The floor. Cobblestone everywhere is a bit ugly maybe you should think of varying to different types of stones? I know it's a lot of work, but I'm sure you've already planned to do it!
