Introduction:
After putting together this black Typhon/Shakuras tileset I´ve spent ages trying to put together a good layout. I practically finished 3 different maps using rotational symmetry, but I was never satisfied. Either there was to many positional imbalances or they were too much like Terminus/Crevasse/Tal´Darim.
I finally gave up rotational symmetry altogether and went for Twisted Symmetry™.
Twisted symmetry is a combination of rotational symmetry, mirror symmetry and shift symmetry (as on Shakuras Plateau). The shift forced a lot of open space behind 2 and 8 o' clock bases so I rotated the mineral lines to sit near the map bounds.
I have measures out distances using probes travelling from main ramps to key locations.
