Hello !  :D
Do you have tricks on how to generate "nice" maps?
With small size one (default size) I do get factory quite close to towns and road :



But... I'd like to have a long game and many opportunity and long flights ;)
So when generating bigger maps (1024*1024) I do end up with a unnatural position of inductry.
- far from road or town
- in a middle of nowwhere
- very difficult to get a chain production

Any idea on how to get a nice map (pak 128) ?

You could edit your own map, e.g. start with an empty map (no cities, factories and tourist attractions) and then let the public player build cities, factories and tourist attractions.

Basically the public sector will generate a more "organic" map than the random start ?

Public player will not generate anything. If you switch to public player you get extra tools to build cities, industries and rivers. You can then make everything to your liking.
