You are basically asking if you can run 225 servers. ;) Short answer: absolutely not. Look into how these servers actually function. Also, important info you forgot to mention: amount of players and inet speed. If you keep players under, i would say 10, maybe...maybe a 1x2 or 2x1.

That "fog of war" as you call it are the map boundaries. You will have to add more servers if you wish to expand your atlas. Once you do, depending on where you position your new server, one of those boundaries will turn blue and you can cross into your 2nd server. Use the island editor provided with the server files to configure your map and add islands as you please.

Using the island editor provided with the server files, in the Atlas tools folder...as has been mentioned many times already in this discussion.

All commands are similar to that used for Ark (same Unreal dedi server). As far as i am aware there is no official ID list so you will have to dig through the game files and go look for them. Also, this will not help you to spawn in things, but open console and type the following commands: enablecheats <yourserveradminpaswd> showmyadminmanager Will give all server admins some helpful tools for managing your server.

Just to explain; that red wall is the map boundary so no you can't go past that. If you were to add another server to your grid then one of the red walls, depending on where you configure it to be relative to your home server, will be blue and you can cross over. Regarding to your islands, can't help you out with gportal but i assume you have access to the server files? You will need to use the island editor provided by grapeshot. Use that to basically create your own map. As in, you can add as many islands to your server as you like. Do some googling, there is already enough on the island editor to be found. Hope that helps. But again, just to clarify, 1 server = 1 tile.

Any decent i7 or xeon will do. But i think you have already sort of answered your own question, with 150 ppl per server it is RAM you want to be looking at. That and a very strong inet connection (no less than 500Mbps up).

No you basically create the map by hand using the island editor. That one you just showed is just an example. Have a look at the editor and you will get what i mean.

I think everyone is still focusing on getting them to actually run nicely. Patience my friend. Rome wasn't build in one day. That said, i believe somewhere around page 3/4 of this thread somebody posted a link to twitch that you can join where they are setting one up and configuring the map for everyone to see. Maybe check that out.

Have a look at proxmox. And contact your datacenter and explain what it is you want to do. You will have several nodes in this case and proxmox needs something like less than 2ms response time between them in order to balance them all. So where the individual servers are located at the datacenter and how they are routed will be of great importance.

Don't focus to much on CPU performance. We have a 6 year old i7 3930 (3,2GHz) and runs everything we throw at it without breaking a sweat. Focus on 1) your inet speed, anything below an actual 500Mbps upload will get you into trouble for what you want to do. Lag and rubberbanding guaranteed. 2) RAM, all the RAM, all of it, everything single slot filled!! These 150 slot severs will have 128GB at the very least! And you will need to look at PVE (proxmox or such) otherwise you are going to need 16 (as you want 4x4) single dedicated servers!

Previously we were running a server with W2K16 and had all our server running within that 1 OS. Just this weekend we completely redid our server. We are now using Proxmox as a virtualized environment and run 5 VM's within that. Should have done that a long time ago. So i would suggest looking at Proxmox first to get an idea of what it is, how it works and if it fits your needs. I warn you, it is not something you set up in a couple hours. Be ready to stick some time into it in order to get things running smooth. But it is the only way to go if you planning on running a grid unless you intend to split them up over several machines.
