Beyond the Pack: Curating Your Own Collection
While a pre-assembled Rigs of Rods map pack is fantastic for starting out, eventually you will want specific terrains. The beauty of RoR is that you can drag and drop any map into your folder at any time. Try mixing industrial harbor maps for crane practice with volcanic "Mars" terrains for science fiction vehicle tests.
