Roman GłogulskiPlayer with the nickname Alexandrovich has created an extraordinary mod for Garry’s Mod, which offers one of the largest maps in gaming history. The map, called 1:1 Multiverse, consists of 2048 sections, equivalent to the size of the known universe. It is a map over two thousand times larger than the cosmos. The entire space on the map is filled with visualizations of colorful stars and galaxies, with the possibility of adding star systems in future updates.
Technical Requirements
The 1:1 Multiverse mod requires a large amount of RAM. The minimum recommended requirements are 12 GB, but the creator recommends at least 32 GB for comfortable gameplay and 64 GB or even 128 GB for optimal performance. It is worth noting that the mod itself takes up a small amount of space – only 522 MB.
How to Download and Install the Mod?
The 1:1 Multiverse mod can be downloaded from the Steam Workshop. To function properly, it is also necessary to install the InfMap – Infinite Map Base mod, which removes many restrictions on map sizes, allowing them to be created in any scale. Additionally, it is recommended to install InfMap Helper Tools, which facilitate map exploration by enabling players to teleport to any location.
Uniqueness of the Map
It is incredible how the author achieved such massive map sizes. Regular maps in the Source engine have their limitations, but the creator of the InfMap – Infinite Map Base mod found a way to bypass them. They used fluid portals to transport players from one part of the map to another, and clever use of shaders created a convincing illusion.
Popularity of Garry’s Mod
Garry’s Mod has been available only on PC since 2006 and, despite its age, continues to enjoy immense popularity. This is thanks to its capabilities for creation, experimentation, and unlimited player creativity. At the peak of the day on Steam, as many as 30,236 people were playing the game simultaneously.
