Hey I like the discussion!
About introducing some disorder within each factory module, I don't know really how to do it such that I preserve factory appearance (there's always some :wink: logic in a factory layout and I think the less "square" ones were those which developed in stages) but I'll think about (maybe I can do that for one factory, but doing it for the whole template area that's a much harder thing I think..Friendly, if you wish to have a go at it, PM me your email so that I can send you the working map on which you can build it. What do you think?
Something interesting about villages to you:
Never been to Slovakia but I can bet that: real Slovakian villages are like real Romanian villages and that's because the Slovakia team village model (texture +buildings) simulates very very well the appearance of many REAL Romanian villages.
But here I come to your village shot: not sure I'm talking about the same thing but if we move now westwards, France, Germany etc, the Slovakia village model is not good anymore, not an expert in villages but I think many villages have here the piling effect you showed in your screen, and maybe in the middle of the pile there is a little square with the church, the school, the pubs, the grocery etc Been living in such a village for a while in Switzerland, even had a castle to stare at from my window, very cute little village...
PS: maybe we could start a general discussion about how to build villages, towns, industry, maybe also how to create new ground textures for them villages etc. Like obviouslly it would be cool to have a new texture representing western Europe vilage layout etctect...
