Your choice of map to start on is important in any city-builder game, and it's the same for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Steamworld Build. Your map choice will determine the space available to build your city, and it often affects how you'll be building it as well, as more obstacles means you'll have to get more creative with your city design.

Whether you're looking to start on the easiest map if you're a beginner, or looking for a difficult map for a challenge, we've got you covered. Here's every map in Steamworld Build ranked, and details on the sort of aspects you'll be dealing with on each one.

5 Highroller Dunes ಌ

Highroller Dunes has the atmosphere of a night at an old casino, and given the ruins, it's likely that this was the purpose of the area prior to its destruction. Unfortiunately, its atmosphere hinders it as much as it adds to it.

Highroller Dune's nighttime atmosphere can also make locating Tumbleweeds difficult due to how they blend in with the darker colors. If you adjust the brightness they'll stand out a little more.

This map has a large starting area, but it is dotted with several decorative structures that can't be destroyed, meaning you'll need to add paths and build around them. You'll end up losing out on valuable space for your city, and as you unlock more Steambot types and their accompanying buildings, you'll want all the space you can get so this can become an issue.

This can potentially cause supply and fertility issues early on as you'll need to keep buildings such as Warehouses either tightly packed together or spread them far out, neither of which is ideal.

Highroller Dunes is still a fun map, despite its issues, as its unique qualities can also serve as a feature if you're looking to challenge yourself as far as space goes, or give yourself a self-imposed limit in regard to workers or cash flow.

4 F♌ossil Park

Clearly styled and inspired by Jurassic Park, Steamworld Build's Fossil Park brings with it a fairly distinct theme and atmosphere complete with fossils, park signs, and even a non-active volcano.

Fossil Park has a decent starting size with two additional areas you can unlock as you progress further in the game, but like Highroller Dunes, you'll be dealing with decorations you need to build around.

Broken electric fences stre൩tch aꦍcross several areas of the map, and they box you into certain areas, despite seemingly being large enough to not block paths and allow Steambots to go beneath them.

Still, there aren't that many starting forest patches compared to other maps, so you'll need to watch your Wood and Board manufacturing at the beginning.

3 Tumbleton

Another nighttime map, Tumbleton is inspired by Hollywood, and sports its own massive sign in the distance covered by bright lights. You'll be able to see the ruins of late-night drive-in movie theaters scattered about in the form of old signs and cars, and as unremovable decorations, you'll need to build around them.

As with🧸 Highroller Dunes, the nighttime can make finding Tumb💟leweeds difficult to spot.

Initially, Tumbleton has the smallest starting area, but you're quickly able to unlock the full map upon repairing the Abandoned Mineshaft and unlocking Dusty Caverns.

Despite still having unremovable decorations, most of them are only two by two tiღles, similar to larger player-placed decorations, and are easy to build around and or otherwise incorporate into your city without taking up much space.

2 Gra🤪nd Gully 🌄

Grand Gully has a smaller starting area similar to Tumbleton, as the area is essentially split in half by the canyon🌊 in it, but this Grand Canyon-inspired map opens up considerably once you repair the Abandoned Mineshaft, and even further after you find your first Rocket Part.

This wide-open map🙈 has only a few rock formations that take up building space, so there will be little stopping you from bui༒lding a less compact city with space for more decorations or extra buildings.

The only real downside to this map is that the second half of it is around three-fourths the size of the first, and you can start running out of building space if you aren't careful.

1 ♔ Giddy-Up Gorge ꦇ

Giddy-Up Gorge serves as both the most beginner-friendly map in the game and is heavily implied to be ౠthe canon setting in the story due to the cutscenes you get with Astrid Clutchsprocket, her father, and💞 the other characters.

This map boasts the largest wide-open areas available out of all the maps, has extremely minimal unremovable decoration👍s or rock formations, and it even features some elevated areas to give the map variety.

Giddy-Up Gorge also has one of the highest forest area counts at eleven, and they're spread across all portions of the map well, so you likely won't be hurting for wood or boards even in the late game.
