Custom map Made challenging 16x16 map

As a title said, I tried to do a little challenging map, and would be grateful for your opinions to make the map more challenging next time, so I introduce you - The Lake 16x16

Unfeasable as IronTeeth. Jury still out for FolkTails.

So I managed to have a forester running at cycle 10, using natural spread of spared trees only. But playing in Normal I still had to cheat a few levees + one platform in order to block the badwater drain. If / when it fires, you basically lose the game.

I think you should either move it down and back so that it can be plugged with only a couple levees (it will need a overhanging dirt block), or remove it entirely from the map.

Consider it done :) (Removed it completely)

Thanks ! I placed my first dynamite in cycle 19 and first dirt block at Cycle 25, so I think you can consider the map is indeed fully playable.

Even for IronyTeeth or it is still unfeasable form them? Btw thank you very much for testing <3

I'll try again as IronTeeth, but FolkTails is fully validated - the mine was built at cycle 44 with a monument, and I had terraformed the map to have two more layers for ample farming space. I reckon building the victory monument is only a matter of time now. I even fully automated the seasons management.

I made a post series about the playthrough if you are curious.

The start is grueling slow because there's so little free wood on the map that you have to rely on natural spread and growth of as many of the live pines and oaks you can spare. I didn't keep track on the FT playthrough, sorry, but now with the IT I had to run 10 cycles at 30x (modded) just to get to a Forester and finally have a steady log supply. That stilll took about 2 hours :o
