New here, help on entrance?

[Jordi2626]

Hello all,

I have played years back but never really got that far into it. After my partner got a switch we got back into it so here I am trying it again . I reset a few times to find a map I seem to like but I also don’t believe I had a more middle airport and RS location, so I was hoping someone could help me find some ideas or if anyone happened to have a map similar to mine showcase maybe their island or some ideas, I would totally appreciate it!

I noticed the alignment between the airport and RS is just like one space or so off and it kind of bothers me so that’s why I ask, I wasn’t really sure what to do, or if it may be best to just reroll again.

Sorry if the picture image is bad, I had trouble submitting a picture.

Thank you

So the way the maps work is there are predefined layouts that include the river & ponds, cliffs, and resident services, and then everything else is random -- to an extent. There are actually only two places the airport can be. Here's a reddit post with all the map layouts if you'd like to see; you can also see the spots the airport can be in for each river direction. So, for example, it wouldn't be possible to get that same map with resident services and the airport centered with each other; the only other airport location is further east.

That one tile off would bother me personally, but if you put some buildings or decoration in that area and then made paths around them instead of a straight path to resident services, that could work? If you feel like you should reroll though then go for it!
