Synthetic is a King of the hill map with asymmetrical detailing and 2nd place winner of the Meet your Map competitive mapping competition. The map has been designed from the ground up for competitive play taking inspirations from multiple comp maps such as product, arctic, and coalplant.

-changed indoor mid side areas (nicknamed garage) to be less advantageous in an attempt to make players want to be on point instead of in those areas to hold mid
-minor detail changes
-edited environmental lighting
-changed skybox clouds to use func_rotating now that it's working in game

*Release Candidate 2 change-log*
-clipping fixes
-detail changes
-lighting improvements

Yes. It is a great koth map.
The only issue I might think of is some kind of areas that are never used during the gameplay.

Played it today in a dmix, found it really fun and has a lot of potential. Really want to play it again and hope it's considered in the future

1 thing I would consider is letting soldiers on top of the yellow pipes by point. Playing roamer it felt like there wasn't a good spot to stand in defending from behind the point. If you stand on the right side (either way) you're useless if nobody goes under and if you go on the ledge the pocket goes on then you both eat the same spam. Could do with somewhere else to stand.

After doing a map lookover, this is what Bowl, exa, and I found.

These health packs should be switched. Looking towards the point there is one on the far left so the medium pack should be on the far right instead of in the middle.

These two buildings are different. One being taller than the other is significant since a taller wall allows higher wall jumps.
https://imgur.com/Ign5bKO
https://imgur.com/SRx5MOx

These lights are a little too intense imo.
https://imgur.com/eOtJwYP

One of the more frustrating aspects of this map is that it's pretty difficult to properly call a playing running through the underneath passages. Whenever someone calls an enemy going "under" you have no idea which side he is talking about. Designating the areas as "left" and "right" is also often confusing since it depends on which direction the player is currently facing, so what i would like to suggest is that you make the two lower passages visually distinct, so that they can easily be identified when making calls.
If you made one tunnel have flowers and grass, and the other have a bunch of mechanical equipment, just to give a random example, you would be able to say something like "scout under in flowers/workshop"
It is, of course, important that the two areas are actually the same from a game-play perspective.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see about making the tunnels more visually distinct but couldn't you just say Blue Tunnel or Red Tunnel for an easy call out?

Yeah you could probably get away with calling them red and blue tunnel. If you just make it so that color is easily recognizable from the outside that would probably be enough.

I have some further nitpicks for you:

https://imgur.com/OaZx92y
You can bump your head on these supports that cross the roof. Trying to jump through the corridor only to be stopped dead in your tracks is really frustrating.

https://imgur.com/XAWWHqH
you often want to jump out of this tunnel exit as a soldier, but it's extremely easy to hit the door frame and just stop, so I'd like to see the exit kind "smoothed out" so that even if you jump isn't 100% accurate you would still make it outside. Don't narrow the tunnel though, that would be a bad idea. Just mess with the exit part.

https://imgur.com/ybv0BMh
https://imgur.com/Oty991b
You can stand on the edge of this roof outside of blu spawn.

https://imgur.com/lqh2kKE
https://imgur.com/TpbxoxP
Clipping in this corner is pretty wonky. This is as close as I was able to get to the fence. It's the same on both sides of the map.

https://imgur.com/iC9EIpx
It's pretty difficult to replicate, but I was able to damage myself through this awning while I was standing on top of it and had stickies placed underneath. I think there might be a tiny gap near the wall or something. Both awnings on middle had this issue

I'm hoping to get this map into full release within the next few versions and, as such, need all yall peoples to nitpick it to death so I can find everything that needs fixed and make it as good as possible before that final release. So rip the map a new one, please....just be kind about it.

The download is still b18. Here's a little nitpick:

You can stand on this window frame and I don't think that is intentional. That being said it is a fantastic spam spot for soldiers! Oh, and the wall is taller on RED side.

The clipping on the stairs leading up to this high ground is also shoddy on BLU's side:

I hope I can get some play-tests in soon so that I can give some good, proper feedback

Thanks for the feedback and the heads up. I have updated the link to be for b19, sorry about that.

I think you forgot like a checkbox or something when you compiled this latest version. You can literally get out of bounds everywhere and get on top of all building on the entire map:

I'm not sure if it's related, but these wooden ladders have no collision and all the stairs inside of both houses have really weird clipping.

Yup, the tools brush visgroup was accidentally left off so there are no clip brushes. This link leads to a fixed version:

Apologies for not getting any proper testing done for a while, but hopefully with i63 done and dusted and season 31 coming up, people should be more motivated to test out your map. Here are some minor things I spotted while running around on the map:

You can jump through the windows on RED side, but not on BLU. I think you should definitely be able to use the windows, and I also think it should just be one big window since the separation of the windows makes it really easy to mess up jumps through them, which is frustrating.

These two exits to the slanted roof aren't properly mirrored, and you can sit on top of the window frame. This is actually a pretty big deal since the RED window spot is a great spam spot for a soldier while the BLU side is very difficult to make use of. If you want people to be able to sit on top of these windows you should make that more visually apparent.

And finally, I think these entrances to the room near middle are a bit too tight. The room is cramped enough as it is already.
