BeamNG Repository (Mods)

Look at the URL of your map (eg. www.beamng.com/resources/natural-playground.18030/)
Copy the number behind the period (18030) to the following URL like this: www.github.com/SnoutBug/BeamNG_terrainMaterialCache/releases/tag/18030
If the page exists, you will find a one-liner in the release's description which you can then use to downlad the textures

Troubleshooting

Open your Steam Library and find BeamNG.drive
