Thank you sir
I'll be better next time, promise. (ill make Underground sanbox v2)

 

That is good, for a begginer. I remember I was doing horrible maps when I was beggining.
My tips?
- Not just plains. Add mountains, oceans, lakes! A lot of my sandbox buildings uses those mountains for design.
- More stone / gold fragmentation ( I mean, you should remove those enormous ores and make more little ores )
- Underground, try to make more realistic tunnels.

Good luck!

Edit : Here is you map, that I tweaked a lot. Try to do maps similary to it ( There are not a lot of details on it, didn't have time )

 

In my next maps ill be adding every thing you said, thanks

 

Few other tips : I recommend you to use Paint.NET ( If you don't use it already ) and some plugins, like the Pyrochild's plugin, it can add very good features for a map maker. Example : the stitcher and the jitter.

I recommend you to use multiple layers. I often do this :

Spoiler: My layers plan

Deeper to closer

Layer 1 : Sky
Layer 2 : Terraforming ( Mountains, holes, etc... )
Layer 3 : Stone ore
Layer 4 : Concentrated stone ore
Layer 5 : Gold ore
Layer 6 : Tunnels
Layer 7 : Natural elements ( Grass, tree, water, sharks, bisons, lanterns... ). You can separate those natural elements into more ones, but it is already enough.

Don't feel stupid if you use a paper and a pencil to draw your map ideas. I always do that. And I'm maybe not the only one to.

Have luck!

 

Thank you very much, and yes i use paint.net.
downloading Pyrochild's plugin right now ;)
