Alpine DLC initial impressions

[iwan073]

Best map from GIANTS, so far

Just got to love the Fellsburn grain mill sales point

Beautiful touch that

Absolutely love the map! However I feel like they missed an opportunity to add a transportation contract or 2 involving the Hotel on the hill. I'm sure they need chocolate

Has anybody else noticed there are no transport contracts? Sort of defeats the purpose of all the amazing locations around the map, no?

Yes that was my point in the post above. Don't understand why Giants did not add transport contracts.

Sorry! My bad! I have heard so much of how sellpoints could be cool all around that I started assuming too much. But yeah, it struck me as extremely odd, considered the proverbial missing sellpoints on top of that)

I play Alpine DLC on XBox One S, and I must say that I'm very impressed of the beautiful landscape and the details.
No FPS drops that suffer from gameplay.

The only thing i miss is a slurry tanker from the beginning.

And I'm sure that transport contracts could be in a future update/patch?

GIANTS has made a masterpiece in my opinion.

If you get harvest contracts, you'll get a transport contract as part of it. technically

Doesn't cut it for me, though) All contract arables are in the valley, all sellpoints downtown - still no use for the hotels, the restaurant etc. on the mountain side.

I'm loving the map at the moment, started out on new farmer so go the farm, cows and equipment. The detail and scenery on the map is just amazing, way better than they other two standard Giants maps.

However, there is an issue that bugs me slightly. The farm area is nice and flat, lots of open spaces for which you think you would be able to expand. I tried placing a hay loft on the area just behind the bunker silo. Nope.
I tried adding a multifruit extension to the silo. Nope.
It doesn't seem to want to let me place anything in the open areas on the farm.

So instead, after a lot of head scratching, I bought a field down by the railway line, can't remember what number, but it has some grass area next to it, between the field and the railway line so I'll add my placeables there.

Love the train going off to Felsbrunn but it would be better if there was a pause between the train leaving the map and being paid, just to add a little bit of realism, rather than being paid instantly.

The only sollution is if you are on PC that you use/enable place anywhere function in GC mod. If you are on console its sadly problem that Giants did not solve, yet.

I only played for a few minutes, I think is very good but... What geo mod is better in this map? I'd like to use seasons.

Beautiful map. One issue I have is that when you do a contract that transports to the Felsbrunn grain mill, you don't get the overage on crops you normally get. You need to manually hold back what would be extra(math involved).

Also, the placement of the parked cars in the shop lot can cause some space issues.

Lastly, while the new equipment is interesting, in my opinion it is still a bit underpowered for some of the terrain.

Yeah the cars parked at the shop are a real pain, especially when you get big equipment!

I haven't done a contract yet where the crop goes off the Felsbrunn but that's really worth knowing!! Thank you

Unfortunately I'm on console. I've found I can replace the silo with a multifruit of exactly the same size, which could be useful but I still can't place extensions next to it
