Synecdoche – A Map that has been in the making since the HDRP backport update, this project aims to provide a unique terrain formation with vanilla monuments. The map takes inspiration from Hapis and combines it with an ‘epic reality’ aesthetic styling.
Synecdoche (noun) Sin-eck-doh-key: A figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole.
Crafted over the course of years, this map offers something extraordinarily rare. Custom monuments are amazing and fun to explore! I’ve seen so much hard work go into them and people have made some really cool stuff. However, custom monuments are only a small part of the level design in Rust. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get as much unique design detail out of the rest of the map? Wouldn’t it be nice if your server felt like a real place, instead of a procedural blob map?
A Map Focused on Detail, no matter where you are:
But who would be insane enough to do such a thing? And how would it be possible? A 4k Rust map is 16 square kilometers. To make this feel like a real place, and give each space the attention to detail it needs demands thousands of hours working with consistent standards. This is why almost all of the maps aside from a handful on these sites will choose to use some form of procedural generation, and what makes synecdoche so uncommon. Every square meter was hand crafted with care, to make a place that feels alive and fantastical. it’s what makes the map feel so beautiful.
Still Not Convinced?
Here’s some of the feedback we’ve gotten from the community!
Where Reality Meets Fantasy
Each and every spot on the map was precisely manicured to feel unique and significant. Every rock has its purpose, and every nook and cranny was deliberately sculpted to inspire exploration. There are no locations on the map that were forgotten or left behind. Each location plays its part to represent the world as a whole.
Information and Specifics:
This map includes only vanilla monuments and can be run under the community tab. It does not require any 3rd party dependencies, not even the RustEdit Oxide DLL. However, you will need to place the included Harmony mod in you harmony folder to prevent Cargoship from leaving the map while it docks at the northern harbor.

ive been on the hunt for the long term map. bought several premium ones, from different creators. i just opened the map for the first time, in rustedit, and it blew me away! “just the map itself has a strangely aesthetically pleasing nature…..maybe im just on the hype train”, i thought. so i flew around for …idk 20 – 30 seconds until i REALLY saw the desert…..i had to stop, and write this review. absolutely incredible. im callin it early, map of the year.

The best custom Rust map I’ve ever seen. Such a unique look to all the areas and I love how every mode of transport in the game can be utilised no matter where you build. I did some edits in Rust Edit for myself to remove road topology so I can build a driveway right onto the road and removed the snow biome, since I’m not the biggest fan of snow. But that’s not a reflection on the map, more myself.
Everything in this map is so aesthetically pleasing, you can tell the author went over everything by hand. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great custom map!

Honestly nothing missing in this map, and the water features felt like a totally new approach to Rust I can highly recommend trying. The author of it also seems highly interested in further development and experimenting which I see as a massive bonus since the project won’t just rot and might get some really cool changes to explore even after you purchase the product.
The layout also makes the center of the map a really great area for PVP and “Pirate behavior” on the water since it’s right between Outpost and Bandit Camp. This also means quality access from all parts of the map to the Safe Zones for trading.
I highly recommend it if you’ve made the decision to play a custom map, other maps I’ve tried have either been broken horribly, need 90 plugins to function or are just plain boring. This one felt like Rust, just a hand-crafted custom experience.
Any other DLC and they’d charge you for expansions like that so 5/5 from me.

So when I went looking for a custom map there were a few things I had in mind that I wanted for it. I wanted trains but not the size map that would normally generate them, I wanted Vanilla monuments, and I wanted the map to feel alive and expansive. This map checks all of those boxes for me and then some. Weeks after purchasing and my friends and I are still marveling at how little we have still actually seen. Sure, we’ve been all over the map but we still exclaim to each other all of these beautiful places we find, and there’s at least one place I have found that felt like a nice hidden gem of a spot, so I imagine there must be more. You can tell the maps creator spent a lot of time and effort crafting this masterpiece. It truly feels like you are surrounded by the world with how the terrain goes from highs to lows. I cannot stress enough how much this has made Rust feel like an almost entirely different game. Well priced considering the level of effort and details that went into it. Worth EVERY penny!!!!

There still seems to be a problem with the Trainyard. When I upload the original map to my server, the Trainyard is there. It has a water error. In front of the Trainyard you walk through invisible water.
When I load the map in Rustedit the Trainyard is gone. I can’t add a new one, not even a broken one. So when the map is saved, the Trainyard is gone. There is no way to change this. At least I haven’t found one. I find this very strange.
The map also produces dozens of red server error messages. I bought the map because I love the map. I wanted to customize it for my needs. This is not possible because of the error with the Trainyard. Can you please fix this again?

As a new server owner, my first wipe was back in December, and I decided to purchase the Synecdoche map for my server in February. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE it! The attention to detail is incredible, and it’s clear that a lot of time and care went into creating this map. It was definitely worth every penny. The train ride around the map is definitely one of my favorite features, and I also really love the bridges and tunnels. It’s one of those maps that will definitely see multiple uses on my server. Can’t wait to see what other fantastic creations you have in store! Keep up the amazing work!

When you scale anything, make sure you scale stuff in to a positive side please.
BoxColliders does not support negative scale or size.
The effective box size has been forced positive and is likely to give unexpected collision geometry.
If you absolutely need to use negative scaling you can use the convex MeshCollider. Scene hierarchy path “Decor/assets/content/structures/pipelines/pipeline_300x300_bend.prefab/ambient_trigger (12)”

Thank you! This is Normal, and will not cause issues on the map.
These errors are coming from the curved section of the big pipes at the custom powerplant monument. There is only one prefab in the game files for the bent pipeline, it only goes Right/Left (I think it’s right, but don’t remember off hand). Normally, this isn’t a problem, you can just rotate curve sections to be up-side down if you want them to curve left instead of the default: Right. However, the pipe sections have an erosion effect texture on them that looks pretty goofy when it’s up-side down, so we have to invert one of the scale values negative.
Facepunch is able to do this on the vanilla powerplant prefab because they can separate the pipeline prefab from its baked-in environment triggers. When you scale a trigger negative, it will throw this warning and invert the scale value for the trigger to fix the issue automatically. Because the trigger is just a cube/prism, Inverting one of its scale components just creates a volume that performs identically to how it would normally.
These warnings do not impact the functionality of the map or server, they just help with map debugging for prefabs that can cause issues when scaled negative.
I looked into it a little more, and I was wrong about rotating the prefabs upside down. Turns out, there’s another way to orient them while keeping them right side up, so I’m gonna fix them and add it to the next update. Thanks again for pointing this out! You can still continue to use this version without issue while i work on the next update, but I will add the fix to get rid of the warning messages.
The above ground rails are not connected to the underground rails. There is not currently a plan to connect them, but it is on the to-do list for this map. I have been working on a big update slowly in the background, but it’s taking alot of time and other projects have priority at the moment, so don’t expect anything soon.
Not a major content update, but any issues will be fixed and the map will be maintained.
I’m currently in the middle of a big overhaul, and simply slapping a train tunnel somewhere feels cheap and out of character for the map. Planning and measuring something like that correctly takes time that I just don’t have right now.
Of course, I encourage you to edit the map and customize it to your liking if you disagree with the direction I want to go with it.
It’s just that I’m currently helping maintain all 3 Hapis projects, Isle of Rust, and am almost done with a major overhaul to minicopter combat.
The map plays occasionally on US and EU Zenlabs servers in the Official tab. To find the current schedule, you’ll have to join the Rustafied discord and look for the map voting channel. It is not currently planned to run this month though.
True, yes, powerplant is a custom monument on Synecdoche. It has to be, in order for the train tracks to work the way they do. (As a side note, so does giant excavator, for the same reason, this can generate its own conflicts with third party plugins). Because it is a custom monument, any plugin that attempts to acquire the position for power plant will not find a powerplant monument on the map, because there is no vanilla powerplant on the map.
However, There is an option, if you have some coding skills. Plugins like the Power Plant Event Plugin only need to find the vanilla powerplant prefab in order to get the location of the powerplant for the event to take place. You can simply modify the plugin to input the power plant coordinates for Synecdoche manually. The coordinates for powerplant on Synecdoche are: (940, 9, 1110).
Hi there! this map is insanley good and my players love it!
I do have a question though.
I run a persistent server where players dont lose progress month to month. Thier bases and bps dont wipe.
When you do an update, will it wipe out my players bases, or should they be safe as long as I do my monthly updating the same way I do now?
Thanks! It will depend on the update and the changes made. Any modification to the terrain will require a map wipe. However, you can keep using the file you are currently using when I update the map. Unfortunately, the way lone.design works, I can’t currently allow customers to have download access to multiple versions, so you will need to backup and protect the file you have, since you will lose access to be able to download the old version once I roll out an update.
Thank you!
I will consider it, but most people generally don’t like having sulfur quarry on their map, especially on a small island like that, which can be walled off.
This is a really easy edit though, so if you’d like to give it a try, you can edit the map yourself to your liking, or you can contact me on discord and I’ll make a custom version for you.
This is due to an error with rustedit. The issue only effects version 1.2.26, which was uploaded yesterday. The previous version, 1.2.25 still works perfectly and contains trainyard. I have since corrected the issue and pushed out an update, so version 1.2.27 is available for download.
A Nice map sure. But Cannot use it because Trainyard hasn’t been updated and Dev has no plans on updating anytime soon, because in his words “Not a priority” So I paid $50 for a map I can’t use.
This issue was caused by a maintenance update and fixed within 24 hours. The previous version of the map still worked fine.
To be clear: any issues with the map or maintenance that needs to be done is a top priority and is almost always fixed within 24 hours. I have no intention of abandoning this project.
What is not a priority are major content additions to the map, although they are still being worked on and will be free for anyone who has purchased the map previously.
In regard to custom monuments, they are honestly quite minimal. Powerplant is just a custom version of vanilla powerplant, where the only change is that the rails actually work and connect to the rest of the above ground network. Synecdoche Bunker is just a stand-in for a simple monument that provides a blue card spawn location in the center of the map. Security tower is just the security tower from Hapis and acts as a red card spawn for the southeastern area.
For the next major updates to the map I plan to move away from any custom monuments, as it seems that custom IO plugins, like the RE Oxide DLL are becoming increasingly unreliable, and alternatives are not looking great so far either.
So I’d just like to be forthright and say that you should not expect much, if anything, in regard to custom monuments for this map. The real appeal of this map is going to come from the terrain and bridges.
Yes, but there is a way around it: When the map file name changes, the server will look for a save file that bears the same name as the map file. If it can’t find a matching name, it creates a new save file. However, if you rename the new map file to the same name as the old map file, then the content of the files will not match between your client and the server, so you get a world file mismatch error.
The solution is to rename the save file to match the new map file name. I’m sure you know, but for anyone reading: you should always backup (I mean just make a copy) your save file before experimenting with it. Load the renamed save file on a test server with the new map and look around for floating entities. You can load any map with any save file, the entities will just remember their old locations, so if the terrain is different, you might get entities that show up floating above or under the terrain in the areas where the terrain has changed.
I advise loading the map and save onto a duplicate/test server, then checking if anything is floating or underground and deleting those areas manually. There have not been many terrain changes in recent updates, mostly just maintenance fixes, so you will probably not lose anything, depending on how old your current version is.
As a side note: The map will no longer require the Rustedit Oxide extension, or oxide at all any more. However, a custom Harmony plugin will be provided with the new map file, which must be placed in your server’s Harmony folder to prevent the cargo ship from going through the terrain when it departs the inland harbor. This new Harmony plugin is incredibly simple and will likely never really need to be updated once installed.
Sorry, I didn’t notice this earlier, but it came out about 12 hours before forced. I usually try to get them out sooner, but we were really down to the wire getting all the changes implemented in time for the update.
The monument Trainyard1 is missing on the map. There is only an empty space where it should be. Obviously errors have crept in after the last map update. Please correct them.
There still seems to be a problem with the Trainyard. When I upload the original map to my server, the Trainyard is there. It has a water error. In front of the Trainyard you walk through invisible water.
When I load the map in Rustedit the Trainyard is gone. I can’t add a new one, not even a broken one. So when the map is saved, the Trainyard is gone. There is no way to change this. At least I haven’t found one. I find this very strange.

You are using the wrong version of Rustedit. You need to be using version 1.2.0b7 or later. You can find this version in the ‘Editor-Releases’ channel on the Rustedit Discord.

is the map uppdated now with the new patch(oil and cargo) that comes out today ? i noticed ur version histoy, note but it wasent very informative regarding it :D
Yes, It was updated on time, and should be updated on the day of the update for every forced.
Thing is, FP doesn’t work with or really inform us about updates at all, and they will often change things last minute without notice. So there might be an update, like this last one, which requires 2 straight weeks of work in order to make the map function, but FP can change something last minute that breaks everything again. Because of this, I will not release an update until a few hours before the forced wipe.
If you want to follow my work on updates, you can tune in to my discord channel in the ‘Sneak peeks’ tab at https://discord.gg/bxr (this might change in the future, and I can’t edit these comments, so check your readme file for an updated link).
Also, apologies for the delay, but for some reason the lone.design website only published your comment a few hours ago, despite tagging it with the 04/04/2024 post date.
To fix world file mismatch, you have to change the name of the map file, then re-upload to dropbox.
so change:
“synecdoche_1.4.156.map”
to
“synecdoche_1.4.156_MyServerName1.map”
The cause of the error is usually that you or some other server admin made an edit to the map file, then saved the edit to the old file name. Whenever you make an edit to the map, you should always save it as a different map file with a new name to avoid causing this for other people using the map. But also, you should rename the file even if you don’t edit the map to prevent the mistakes of others effecting your server.
The issue is just that when a player connects to a server, their client saves the map file to their computer. The next time they try to join a server with the same map file name, it will download the map from the new server and see if the contents of the file match the previous map file. if they do not match, you get this error.
I have a couple of players that have built a base in the cave under the lighthouse in L3
Whenever they log out in the cave for the night, they wake up dead and have to respawn.
Ive checked through the logs over the past few days and its saying that they are F1 killing themselves, while they are logged out.
This is not happening to anyone else, anywhere else on the map.
Its just in this cave.
It Could be a few things. I will look into it more, but upon first inspection I didn’t see anything obvious. It could be that the lighthouse is causing it, but it might just be a weird thing with the built-in terrain trigger volumes on the cave prefabs. I’ll experiment and fix it later, thanks for pointing it out!
No, console Rust does not support custom maps as far as I’m aware. Sorry. I do know a great place where you can get a PC though! https://alphablugaming.com/
D21 the tunnel has a mesh that is drowning people when they try to go down it, Q19 there is a big rock you can hide under and shoot our of and no one can shoot you.
Running the map without the harmony plugin is fine for the most part, but you will need to disable cargo ship docking for your server, otherwise the cargoship has a chance of clipping through the northwest harbor when leaving the map.
Great Stuff, we love this map!
However Attack Heli is occassionally flying under the map which causes a wall of red text that crashes the server.
Quite the bummer.
Map FAQ – How do I host this .zip/.7z file I just purchased on my server?
• First, you want to unzip the file. You can do so by just double-clicking it to open, then drag the contents to the desired location (you may need to install an external unzipping software if you don’t already have one)
• Next you will find either a structure of folders or just the .map file itself (it’s the important one).
• Once the .map is uploaded to dropbox simply copy the share link attached to it.
• You will first start off by uploading the .map file to an online hosting provider, I’ll include dropbox since it’s easy to get started with.
• Once you’ve copied the link paste it into your server’s startup .bat (batch) file. (You can leave the worldsize/seed. Custom maps override proc gen parameters)
• Example “levelurl “https:// www dropbox dot com/s/sdfagbragae/testmapname.map?dl=1”
• Make SURE the dl=0 at the end is changed to dl=1 otherwise players won’t be able to join!
• Now just start your server and it’ll boot right up! Below I’ll attach a video that goes more in-depth on hosting custom maps vs proc gen maps since it’s a tad different
Additionally, here’s a great video that easily covers hosting a custom map for the first time if you need it! https://youtu.be/y9vNvOIPyVM
• Installation is not included with any products on the site, however, if needed we may assist if you reach out to our support.
• If the product contains a plugin file (.cs) it’s advised to have it installed prior to booting your server with the map you purchased
Currently all products on Lone.Design will be contained within a zipped file which is the .7z or .zip that you see. I believe windows 10 and up can unzip on its own without 3rd party tools, but in that case, if you’re unfamiliar with zipped files here are 2 programs I recommend to easily unzip zipped files.
Video On How to Zip and Unzip: https://youtu.be/Ep-L3PjBPCk (TechInsider Youtube Channel)
Zipping/Unzipping Tools
Winrar https://www.rarlab.com (I used to use for years, but works great!)
7zip https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2107-x64.exe (the one I use currently)

When I load the map in Rustedit the Trainyard is gone. I can’t add a new one, not even a broken one. So when the map is saved, the Trainyard is gone. There is no way to change this. At least I haven’t found one. I find this very strange.
The map also produces dozens of red server error messages. I bought the map because I love the map. I wanted to customize it for my needs. This is not possible because of the error with the Trainyard. Can you please fix this again?

You are using the wrong version of Rustedit. You need to be using version 1.2.0b7 or later. You can find this version in the ‘Editor-Releases’ channel on the Rustedit Discord.
Rustedit is a map editing software tool. I am not affiliated with Rustedit.

This is a beautiful map! Lots of good lessons for budding map makers (like me). My hats off to the creators!

As a new server owner, my first wipe was back in December, and I decided to purchase the Synecdoche map for my server in February. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE it! The attention to detail is incredible, and it’s clear that a lot of time and care went into creating this map. It was definitely worth every penny. The train ride around the map is definitely one of my favorite features, and I also really love the bridges and tunnels. It’s one of those maps that will definitely see multiple uses on my server. Can’t wait to see what other fantastic creations you have in store! Keep up the amazing work!
