All your generators are amazing and I've used them for inspiration of several game layouts. Which brought another idea to mind. Sorry to play the idea guy right now, but a 'facility generator' would be handy. Something that produces layouts of schools, universities, military bases, airports, hospitals, etc.
Examples of things it's shuffle would be parking, maintenance area, supplies area, administrative/public facing areas, scattered buildings, commissary/cafeteria, field grassy areas, fenced areas, etc.
The games areas I've worked on lately have needs for complete facility areas and your generators immediately came to mind.
I think that's fair for sure. Even if this were something more generic too its be handy on my end. I already use your village generator this way, but if it were adjusted it'd be evnn more handy. Like, rather than similar shaped/sizes of homes, along curving roads-- having a few key/large buildings, that smaller buildings or props procedutally arrange around, and perhaps not on curves or a circle but on more square grid based rows?
Somewhat emulating a town square w/Town Hall buildings, or a school/gym/library that then smaller buildings, trees, parking or parks would arrange around. University campuses tend to imitate small urban layouts already. Like mini neighborhoods
I just want to say your generators are sooooo awesome!! Im working on a little game that requires a city map and multiple topdown views of neighbourhoods so you generators are literally PERFECT!!!! I will definetly link these in the credits. Actually i will force the players to see these generators. Thank you again for the amazing work!!
Love all your work! I tend to shout it from the roof tops. Any plans to integrate with the City Generator? I would love to be able to make the city and then drill down into the neighborhoods.
Thanks for the info! Follow up, the neighborhood and village has more detail (in a zoomed in sense) could you add that to the district view? I'm happy either way! Not trying to come off as someone who doesn't appreciate your work, I know its not easy!!
Do you mean like the Warp tool in the city generator? This one is quite different, so it would be hard to reproduce it here. However, at some point, I thought about introducing an option to edit the boundaries of a neighbourhood.
Amazing! Thanks for all these generators, they're an awesome boost to the RPG community.
Apologies if I'm too blunt, but have you ever thought about a smaller scale "battle map" generator? For a wilderness/rural/highway theme you have all the design elements ready. A few trees by the side of a road, a bridge over a river, etc.
Thank you! I've been asked about battle maps before. The main problem is that since I don't use battle maps myself, I don't have a clear idea of what makes this kind of maps "good". I mean I can try generating a good-looking small scale map, but would it be interesting/useful/useable? Maybe. Maybe not :)

I'll think about it. This might be interesting to make, but I'm not sure I know enough about any of the real life facilities you listed as examples.

I'm on google chrome, and for some reason this particular generator is not loading
Does the Arcana version of it work for you?

Thanks! I used to consider some kind of integration, but with the recently added District view (https://www.patreon.com/posts/medieval-fantasy-101942512) I think it doesn't make much sense anymore. Also this: https://twitter.com/13_1_4/status/1782429497624576141.

Your stuff is really coming along nicely.
Will there every be an option to edit/alter the map like one can with your city map generator, or does this work with your city map generator?

That would be awesome!
How do I load a JSON file I saved of a map?
These json files can only be opened in City Viewer, that's why this feature is called "export as JSON", not "save as JSON".
oh, shame innit
