Giants sure love to complicate things with this map

So to clarify what you'd like to see Is :-

Problem : 3rd party Map repeatedly fails testing

Solution : Change the tests so it passes.

[DMZ Commander]

That seems like a solid solution in my good ole 'merican mind

I'm no expert on Giants testing procedure. But its crazy at how many maps pass Giants testing just to be updated later and some multiple times.

A bunch of different players playing in different ways with different mods on different hardware makes many different bugs/errors get found. GIANTS testing isn’t anywhere near as thorough as playing for hundreds/thousands of hours.

I was one of a team of testers testing a popular map (several maps actually, but one I can recall clearer than others) released for FS17 and put months in testing things (occasionally for 5+ hours a day). We'd run out of issues and changes to suggest and I'm still confident it was one of the most issue-free maps ever made for FS (certainly since console mods were a thing from FS17 anyway). Even then it took a bit to pass GIANTS' testing (there were no means of checking for some issues like you can now) and the map itself still needed an update.

Even the best maps by the best modders with dedicated test teams putting in months of work will fail to find every issue. Different eyes see different things and there are thousands of ways to approach the game.

You should be thankful that mods get tested first (though there are certainly aspects of GIANTS' mod testing that need improved) and updates come to fix the issues there will inevitably be. Just like it's impossible to release software without bugs, it's almost impossible to release a map (or any major mod) without bugs - the only question is how game-breaking they are and whether any update will be save-game compatible.

There's a balance to be struck. Test everything with a play through in various styles and it'd take Giants weeks (and £thousands in wages) to test the mod. Sure, the first party maps that come with the base game will get extensive testing. On a third party mod that's free, makes no financial sense for Giants.

That they're doing basic sanity checks for things like poly count, testing sell/buy points etc with base game content and can turn it around in a couple of days makes sense. If the mod author wants to do some community testing before it's submitted to Giants, that's on them.

Lancyboi posted to his FB page that the map should me released today. And if anyone is having map related issue to reply on the post he made.

Console version is out. Shows as new so maybe had to separate the pc version from console? Hopefully pc is out too

[norfolk farmer]

It is.

[empato]

What does that mean: " anhydrous added"??
The map describtion in my language translate that with "no water" which seems a bit strange to me.

[DEERE317]

Anhydrous Ammonia
Nitrogen fertilizer

[empato]

Thanks for clarification, so there is one more fertilizer option. That makes much more sense than what`s written in the german map describtion...

For some reason I had to update the map three times and lost an extra 20% of my modhub memory after doing so on my Xbox.
