Sonoma 14.1.1 / Downloaded from Mac App store

Update to my post above – I’ve found it! what a pain but it’s there…

/Users/[username]/
Then Go – Go To Folders from the menu bar and type Library

Then navigate to

/Library/Containers/com.feralinteractive.railroads/Data/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/Sid Meier’s Railroads!/VFS/User/AppData/Roaming/My Games/WinDeveloper/UserMaps

Hi, does anyone know where the Usermaps folder is if you download RailRoads! from the app store? I’ve tried all the above and can’t find it, doesn’t seem to be in the application itself either and have tried creating a usermaps folder within.

Have also tried creating a new map using terrain editor which works but it shows a windows path (can’t find the new map I created either in finder). Running Sonoma 14.1.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you all.

I hadn’t had success with this about ten years ago when I’d first tried to install custom maps. I recently revisited the game, and was delighted to find that the maps now work for me on Mac (macOS Sonoma). Just pasting my experience here as it varies slightly from the other comments above.

I had been trying to put them into the UserMaps folder /Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/Sid Meier’s Railroads!/UserMaps, but I am delighted that what worked for me (as I could not find any containers relevant to the game), the maps should be placed into:

/Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/Sid Meier’s Railroads!/VFS/User/AppData/Roaming/My Games/WinDeveloper/UserMaps/

Starting with San Francisco now, and looking forward to a bright future with the Custom Maps on here.

Hi all,
Does anyone know where to find the custom maps folder on Mac OS Ventura (13.3 specifically)? I tried looking for the path noted above but there is no com.feralactive folder inside the Containers folder.

Thanks in advance!

Struggled with this for a bit. Same location as listed in the previous comment, just couldn’t figure out how to get to the library, here is a link on how to find it.

https://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/03/12/library-folder-mac/

/Users/’your_username’/Library/Containers/com.feralinteractive.railroads/Data/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/Sid Meier’s Railroads!/VFS/User/AppData/Roaming/My Games/WinDeveloper

Another note that I got hung up on:
Copy the contents of the foler and paste these in the usermaps, NOT just the top level folder. There should be 2 files, these should not be combined into one folder.

under macOS Monterey the correct path is:

/Users//Library/Containers/com.feralinteractive.railroads/Data/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/Sid Meier’s Railroads!/VFS/User/AppData/Roaming/My Games/WinDeveloper/UserMaps

The correct path under Big Sur is /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/Sid Meier’s Railroads!/VFS/User/AppData/Roaming/My Games/WinDeveloper/UserMaps

Unfortunately I’ve tried Western_Kentucky_Version_2 but it doesn’t work it starts, load and then 60gb of ram was used and it crashed 🙂

Andreas: what version macos are you running?

this is the path on my imac that runs with 10.8.5:
hardrive/users/username/library/application support/ feral interactive/sid meier’s railroads!/usermaps

befor i installed 12 gb ram, the game could only be played on auto-save. it crashed every few minutes – with the exception of simple. small maps.

are you running a windows version on macos via emulator?

I couldn’t get any custom maps to work with version 1.2 for macOS. The game just hangs at the loading screen for new maps.

The UserMaps folder can be found here:

~/Library/Containers/com.feralinteractive.railroads/Data/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/Sid Meier’s Railroads!/VFS/User/AppData/Roaming/My Games/WinDeveloper/UserMaps

Maybe someone else has more luck…

I guess I need patch 1.1 to make this work, but my version is 1.0.1. Feral doesn’t look to have a patch download link and the 2k one is a Windows program. How should I get this patch for OSX?
