Introduction

This quickly outputs the world data of your scrap mechanic save game to a json file for display via leafletJS from pre-screenshotted tiles. Not quite as beautiful as my older screenshot method, but SOOOOOoooooo much quicker. This method is somewhat future proof as well. New tiles will still be displayed just blank, but updates should only require a new download of the missing tiles images.

Some things to note

• Terrain height not really shown.
• Game updates will remove the lua changes, requiring you to re-add them
• How to setup your own free GitHub website
• I think there could be some missing road/cliff tiles as there are many possibilties on how they mesh with eachother. Create an issue with your map seed and I can try to capture them.

Changelog

• v1.0.0
  • Initial Release
