When I was growing up, not once did I think, I can't wait to grow up and be a farmer, that iron ore is just calling my name.
I can understand the mine being map specific; however if that is the case, then the furnace should be map specific and all the production facilities should also not require iron OR there should be a sell point that provides iron.

It is quite clear that the focus was heavy on this one map and not on how stuff would be used outside of that map.

That's a bit of a shame, but then Giant never did see things through to the end, that's mainly because for them it has been more about the money than the enthusiasm for the game itself.
Will they fix it in an updated version? or will they leave it up to the moders to sort something out? only time will tell.

No problem if the iron ore and other productions are map specific. But agreed, please hide them for maps that don't support them.

The placeable navigation is bad enough as it is, without having to scroll over several not usable placeables. :hi:

Yes. Takes a while but all the DLC eventually goes on sale.

The furniture factory can make tables and chairs from standard planks. The lack of long planks affects more of the new productions. I agree that Giants should have made these things more accessible to existing maps, but since these are simple fill types and pallets, mods should soon fill the gaps

IMO, the bigger issue is with the containers. There is no placeable that buys them. They can be sold via train, but only on Silverrun and the two European maps, not on Elmcreek. And they are not an auto-load log transport since they can never be unloaded. Perhaps containers will never be unloadable, but they should always be sellable.

This is the most fun I've had on FS22 so far. I can't put it down. Logging is so much smoother now and the new map is amazing. I can't wait to see what modders will be doing with the new stuff too. It'll be great to see some new logging centric maps and machines.

Yeah, I noticed only today. Seems like new addition, but kinda weird it wasn't mentioned in patch notes.

Thank you for this thread, Sneaks! This thread spurred me to try Silverrun and I’m really enjoying it.

I liked reading about others’ experiences and it got me thinking that there should be a trophy for the 100th deer you hit.

:biggrin2:
