The Heart Of The City 2.00

This map looks so amazing! I wish the entity count wasn't so high on it. Can we get all the prefabs and map password to maybe lower this a bit? I'm unsure if it can be run on our servers. How much ram does this consume for hosting?

Thank you! The map and password are provided with the .zip  
Most of the prefabs are actually basic cubes - I've spent a great deal of time creating lightweight-modular buildings made of tileable cubes to resolve a lot of LOD/FPS/Performance issues. With a little strategic spacing of the city it runs great pretty much everywhere - The West Coast Casino is a little heavy but I believe simply removing some lights will increase performance in that area if it's needed.
Currently the beta version I'm running on my server is running at about 9-10gb(I'm also running a little over 150 plugins there)
On my home test server, v1.0.4 runs at a low 9gb, no plugins running during my test.
Hope that helps  Happy to talk more about it!

Thanks for all the detailed information, I really love what you did with this map. I always wanted someone to create an entire city map like this. Super creative endeavor. I'll log on sometime on your server to come check out the map. You did a really great job showcasing everything on your YouTube as well.

This map will be getting an update for Harbor and Oil rig changes tomorrow. I am waiting to make sure the new versions of the monuments have seen all updates from the devs before I commit to releasing - If there are any compatibility issues after wipe I will fix them immediately. You will be able to observe the map via Rust Staging Branch before wipe tomorrow.  

Hey buyers! I noticed we're light on reviews on this file so I wanted to ask for your help making this map better for you!  

Help Improve HOTC:

If you run Heart of the City on your server, please consider leaving an honest review after you have tested it or used it in a wipe.

The most helpful reviews mention:

• Your server type, PVE/PVP/Mixed
• Approximate population
• How setup/install went
• Which monuments or areas players noticed most
• Whether players used the unique map mechanics
• Performance notes
• What you would like improved in a future update

Positive, mixed, and critical feedback are all useful! I would rather have real server-owner feedback so we can improve the map and help other owners know whether HOTC fits their server.
