I think what you want is a Farmer Simulator, instead of a Farming Simulator.

For me the biggest things I would like to see come out of a map is performance, my R7 1700 is picky and un-optimized maps make it a nightmare(looking at you De Terra Italica) to be enjoyed when you get a stutter when looking a certain way or parts of the maps key features dont work such as a saw mill or the like.

One thing I look for when I chose a map to play on is flexibility. I do a lot of FS on my YT, and being able to pick a certain task or job for the day is key to keep it refreshing. Flexibility to what I do with the land that I own is also nice. If I want to merge field 1 and 2 together its a nice option to have the ability to remove shrubs from the field edges. I think a little more thought into how a piece of equipment can gt into a field is nice as well, if i join fields 1&2 getting a NH harvester in with the header trailer with out destroying everything is kind of a turn off for me, some tight spaces is fun and i do like a challenge, but forcing a certain size of machinery into a field is a bit of a hassle.

For me I want a variety of fields, from large to almost tiny. No shrubs with collision. It’s a hassle and unrealistic. I mean a huge quadtrac gets stuck in a hedge? Not too many fences or trees/fences that get in the way of the workers. Plenty of vehicle shelters and storage at the farm. Oh and no starting fields on the other side of the map. I guess I’m picky 😁

As the poll options do not reflect my preferences, i put them down this way here:
3 features of a map are important to me,
1. the map must be helper friendly, not only supported, this means, trees and fences and the like near the field are ok, but only at 2 of the four sides or must be removeable (able to cut down or to be sold)
2. the dimension of the scenery should look realistic, so small equipment looks small, medium fitting and large actually feels large, yet all the usual visited places must be reachable with all fitting equipment (e.g.: sell points must be reachable with small and large trailers, but maybe you have to maneuver the trailer backwards to the selling point or something like that)
3. points of interest should not all look alike, not all selling points and farm silos (if there are multiple ones) should only be of the drive-through type
