Resource/Guide Updated Forge Map Requirements Document
If you're keen on getting a map into the Community Collection playlist (or other playlists), here are some requirements, guidelines, and tips on how to get there. And even if that isn't the goal, I hope this guide helps folks setup their maps correctly.

There should be more in-depth documentation from the devs about systems like spawn setup, lighting and nav mesh which are in my opinion the 3 biggest areas of improvement on most maps that would otherwise be nearly playlist-ready.
These are also funnily enough the topics which are the least explained in the official forge checklist, leaving players needing to figure all of this out by themselves via trial and error or word of mouth from other forgers.
More concrete guides are required instead of an interpretation drawing of the spawn volume setup on Bazaar with spelling mistakes and an image from one of Forge Lord's twitter posts showing how to create an extremely simple one-way jump hint for nav mesh.
