Thank You for - Griffin, Indiana Map - by AJFarmer

I don’t think I’ve ever noticed a Geo affecting the economy. What exactly is happening??

I had the same feeling about the main yard. Till I sold everything minus the house. Removed some trees. Added some nice red barns and add the lancyboi silo and turned out really nice. Only thing I would like to see add is different paintable grass. One that matches the grass already there

I'm pretty sure the one paintable grass texture with the tiny white speckles.....when you are tabbing thru the paint options.....is the default one. It just doesn't match as it shows up on the cut or first growth stage. Once it grows I'm fairly certain it will match up with the mature grass. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong or chose the wrong paint option.

Side note: the white speckles are little flowers. I never knew this until yesterday. They are on Lone Oak, and i thought it was some type of glitch from carrying over on 17. Then when i was cutting hay on this map, i got out of the tractor because i wanted to see what they actually were, then i found out they were flowers.

Clover flowers? Lol

I wish, or maybe i’m just dumb. But the clover flowers common here in Western Pa are purple.

Do farmers in Indiana grow milo/grain sorghum? That is a crop I would really like to grow in fs19 but very few maps have it.

Lol I never knew what sorghum was until they harvested wheat beside my first home i purchased and then replanted what looked like corn at first. I asked my dad what it was and he said sorghum. Apparently it was very common when my grandfather farmed but faded out in our area. I guess that's what they used for silage instead of chopping corn

A few farmers in my area here in Central Louisiana grow it for the grain. It does look like corn before it grows out the heads. They also farm it very similar to corn.

I don’t think I’ve ever noticed a Geo affecting the economy. What exactly is happening??

It has a economy xml file that adjust pricing for the 12 periods. It overrides Seasons base period settings. To give it more local economy variation.It is actually the only GEO I have found with it, but I am sure there are more. The file is provided by Seasons on there web page so its legitpart of the GEO. Just not everyone uses it. I think it's nice touch. Here is the code

Code: Select all

Also had a question about the price that helpers get paid. Is that something that is preset from giant? Or are mapmakers able to set that price

Side note: the white speckles are little flowers. I never knew this until yesterday. They are on Lone Oak, and i thought it was some type of glitch from carrying over on 17. Then when i was cutting hay on this map, i got out of the tractor because i wanted to see what they actually were, then i found out they were flowers.

Clover flowers? Lol

I wish, or maybe i’m just dumb. But the clover flowers common here in Western Pa are purple.

I've seen the reddish color but most of time in Cumberland county pa I see mostly white....until I spray weed n feed into it lol

Do farmers in Indiana grow milo/grain sorghum? That is a crop I would really like to grow in fs19 but very few maps have it.

Lol I never knew what sorghum was until they harvested wheat beside my first home i purchased and then replanted what looked like corn at first. I asked my dad what it was and he said sorghum. Apparently it was very common when my grandfather farmed but faded out in our area. I guess that's what they used for silage instead of chopping corn

A few farmers in my area here in Central Louisiana grow it for the grain. It does look like corn before it grows out the heads. They also farm it very similar to corn.

10-4. The way I remember it they would harvest the wheat in summer then plant sorghum so they could silage it before got too cold. But I think it got rotated out now that things are done so much more efficiently and on a large scale now. Anyone my age that farms talks about it in the same tone they talk about antique farm equipment up here lol

Okay, I just took a horse for a ride down one of the trails. WTHeck!!! That was the most beautiful little trail I’ve ever seen on any map. I’m having a blast. Most fun I’ve haf on this game in a while. Thank you again AJFarmer for helping me scratch my American map itch.

Thanks so much, The trails are what I like to update. I would like to add more rocks, logs, stumps, mushrooms and more scene's. Make the trail a little more bumpy, but not to much you don't want to spill your drink. I think of the map as a playable model railroad. I have to do it without breaking saves. Sometime I wish I would have waited to release the map, But then Giants would come out with FS21 and I would have to start all over. Did you find bigfoot ?

I'm scared to go in the woods at night lol. I haven't really had time but it definitely has me in edge paying attention to sounds while I'm working fields near the woods at night. I try to avoid looking into whether it's a real thing or just something to keep us on edge. I'm tempted to scorch the north part of the map to find out for sure lol

Well you’re awesome!! Keep up the great work! I will be playing this map and using your geo for a long time!

I have found an abandoned shack with a campfire going so far. No bigfoot or no whisky still yet.
