exact same? Are you serious? On SS you don't have a normal ramp, your nat is far away and the third is in a horrible position right in the middle. There is also an island and two semi islands for sneaky hidden bases.
This is such a big improvement :O I always wanted to have a better Scrap Station, made me sad when prodiG didn't get Obsidian Inferno to work

So good work, I like it and want to see it played

I HATE gold on SS and this will probably play out just like it. It's impossible to punish Z taking it very early on as toss, very hard to punish as T, and basicly impossible to hold vs Z as both races. It's always just free gold for Zerg at every T/PvZ and thats not how gold bases should play out.

Would be much better to cvut that base off completely and, if you think gold is necessary, switch 4th to gold. It's very hard to hold already, just like gold bases should be.

I think this gold is way better cause the problem with the gold on Scrap Station in PvZ is that a) toss has a very hard time taking a gold themselves while Zerg just gets a gold third for free and b) Scrap Station gold doesn't have rocks.
I also think Zerg needs this gold cause taking those center bases is hard for Zerg and it's was easier to 3base turtle now for toss/terra.

I think this is just great! Good old Paranoid Android was revenged. (:

Natural seems very riskty, although the 3rd is too well protected and very easy to take, IMO (saying as a Diamond Terran. I might very probably be wrong).

Can't wait till it is published in NA. (:

This map is not the same as Scrap Station.

There, now that thats out of the way, this map is very similar to Paranoid Android, which is awesome!

I really like the way this turned out - good job!

Love this map. Really good as it is right now. Hopefully it can get into GSL and also replace Scrap Station on the ladder!

Who can rename the title of this thread?

I do like that it obviously just tries to take scrap station and fix everything that stinks about that map. I worry that the bases might be possibly too close by air, though.

Maybe simply rotating the minerals away from the close edges of the base would make air more balanced by adding less space to maneuver around in and proper scouting of the edge of your base would allow an extra few seconds of time to respond to early air.
It's funny; I dream a lot, but I'm not a very good sleeper.

This map resembles Scrap station a bit, yet it is far more different by the ramps and base layouts
I feel like blizzard should change their current map pool and take a look at some of this maps.

I feel like there is a very easy 4 bases which might help out Protoss turtle on 4 bases but I'm not sure. Good map though. Also are there any destructible rocks because I think I found some but I'm not for sure.

This looks like what scrap station wished it was. I REALLY like the map flow, this has to be in MotM after more testing.

Not sure the gold needs rocks though, what's the reasoning there?

Love it - far better than SS. Only two things im thinking about. The ramp from the mains need to be vertical and horziontal so it points more towards the nat; then you can also partically wall with a cc/nexus/hatch. The other things is put rocks on the farthest third options. I see know reason why (other than maybe only a planetary fortress) players would want to grab a third closer to your opponent with any sort of advantage. Maybe make those bases the golds instead.

This looks awesome, basically a much better version of Scrap Station. To be honest, the only real problems I ever had with Scrap Station as a map were the islands/semi-islands and the lack of a real third. I mean you either take your third four feet away from your opponent's or you take some sort of sneaky third. It looks to me like this map not only has that far away gold base that you can take early to punish a non-scouting player (a strategy I often employed on Scrap Station when I drew it in ladder), but it also appears that you can take a safe third. Great map, I'll have to try it out at some point. Keep up the good work and congratulations on getting your other map Daybreak used in the GSL!
