Re: Question: Map Making - how to set field size in GE v9

Thank you Eische and TheSuBBie - your replies are most helpful, very helpful. The Google map image was simply an example of how real-world midwest farmland is typically laid out. I do not intend to recreate the whole image into an FS22 map. The idea of making templates is very good. I was thinking a...

Crop Rotation Mod missing from ModHub

I recently noticed that the Crop Rotation mod that I downloaded via the in-game menu, has gone missing. I searched ModHub and the mod is gone. What happened? In real life on the farm I grew up on, we've used a 6-course crop rotation which greatly reduced problems with insects, weeds, and mold. I lik...

Re: FS22 Tedders not working

Might be a map issue then if they already experienced this on previous versions of the same map. The map is the MIdwest Horizon, and there have been some updates to it since the post in another thread a couple of years ago. Midwest Horizon is a 4x map (4km x 4km). Are any other maps of similar size...

Re: FS22 Tedders not working

Might be a map issue then if they already experienced this on previous versions of the same map. What you can do is open a new save on the basegame map and test it out. If it works correctly on the basegame map it's a map issue. You might wanna test with 2 saves on the basegame map, one with all th...

FS22 Tedders not working

As I play FS22 on Midwest Horizon Map (a 4x map), I am having problems in making hay: the tedders do nothing! I found this topic from 2020, wondering if the issue has been resolved or if is it a different issue now? https://forum.giants-software.com/viewtopic.php?p=1315776&hilit=tedder+not+worki...

Question: Map Making - how to set field size in GE v9

When making a map mod using Giants Editor v9, is there any way to set a field size to a specific ha/ac? I am creating an American Midwest map where the traditional layout of farms is based on a Section of land = 160 acres, or, a quarter square mile. There are 4 sections to a square mile. Eventually,...

ModHub Suggestions

I'd like to make a couple of suggestions for ModHub: 1 - Require mods to include a README.txt in the zip file. The purpose is so that the authors of a mod can provide credits for content that is not originally their's - such as a building or other object, or xml script. This way other modders know w...

Crop Editing to suite the climate of the map I play

I've recently been playing the (WIP?) Midwest Horizons map ( https://tysondiniz.me/fs22-midwest-horizon/ ) which seems to have the midwest USA feel that I prefer. Since the American Midwest is not a region known for growing cotton or olives, I simply edit the map.i3d file with Notepad++ and comment ...

Re: Unreal engine 5

... Like this platinum thing, and Volvo, so it’s the Pacific Northwest forests filled with European equipment. Really giving the people what they want there. Good point! Giant's/FS is certainly EU-centric which is understandable given that is the location of the company. I just wish they'd pay equa...

Re: Enormous real life bale stack!

,,, I don't think I've ever seen stacks so large in the UK, but we do have a straw burning power station just a few miles away. Having said that, there's been Giant Haystacks on this site for years now, IIRC before the power station opened, but they seem to have got bigger now. It also looks far fr...

I have seen the official FS 22 Farmers Handbook by Giants which is just an image file. Has Giants thought of making it available (Amazon maybe) in a laminated hard copy format similar to the study guides seen here https://www.amazon.com/s?k=quick+study+laminated+guides&hvadid=463362015996&hv...

Re: USA white farm pack - Sorely Needed Mod

While there are tons of grey weathered, fresh lumber farm buildings in numerous mods, and the typical "Red" painted buildings, white farm buildings have been needed. IRL, red and white paint is cheap, which is why many farmers choose those colors for their buildings. White paint also helps...
