I will probably have to hand this off to someone at some point since after I finish a couple more things, I'll be completely out of ideas for anything interesting. On top of that, it's been almost 7 years since I last tried to build a map, so I'm not exactly in practice. In the off chance that I actually do finish this, I'll post the result.

Some of it is radial clone+scale to zero, the rest is pie slices.

Geometry wise, it's actually not too bad. I'm not using any flexicubes or booleans, so it should work pretty well.

Working on an elliptical clone tool to replace the somewhat suboptimal use of radial clone around an off-center point. The math is easy, but I have no idea how to turn it into a constructor plugin.

You can ask HiGuy :P

I really like what you did with the curves on the left, it seems realistic.

Those are the ones I'd like to replace with ellipses.



I think they are generally ugly and suboptimal.

And now that I've looked at it, the code is easy and the math is harder than I expected.
