+===== Final Step – Build & Test the Map =====
+If all steps on this page were completed successfully, your map is now **fully configured**:
+  * the level exists and loads correctly
+  * tracks, signals, and stations are set up
+  * Map.lua is registered and contains stations, timetables, dispatching, and optional career data
+At this point, the map can be built and tested for the first time inside **SubwaySim 2**.
+Continue with:
+  * [[manual:subwaysim:map_construction:build_mod|Build Mod (.pak)]]
+This step explains how to:
+  * build your plugin
+  * start SubwaySim 2 with your mod enabled
+  * verify that the map loads correctly in-game

+===== Additional Resources =====
+For further reference and updates, the following resources are recommended:
+=== SDK Changelog ===
+Stay up to date with changes, fixes, and new features in the Modding SDK:
+    * [[manual:sdk_changelog|SDK Changelog]]
+=== SDK Download & Test Content ===
+The SDK download area contains:
+   * the current Modding SDK
+   * the official **TestMap** used in this documentation
+   * additional reference content for modders
+   * [[manual:sdk_download|SDK Download]]
+The downloadable **TestMap** is provided as a **separate reference project**, distinct from the Sample Mod Map.
+While the Sample Map demonstrates general concepts, the TestMap mirrors the map structure built step by step throughout this documentation.
