Big PC maps

[Decriptus]

Uninformed console player here, but is there any YouTubers out there that do let's play on 8x or bigger maps? I'm considering getting a PC for gaming but don't want to get one if these maps are just big, flat and boring. I've searched but can't find anything that showcases the bigger maps.

Easiest is probably to first find out which maps are big, for example Renebu or Hobo's Hollow - and then go to YouTube and search for let's play or map tours. Because they - usually - don't say in the video description if it's a standard size or bigger map they are playing on.

But no, the ones I have seen and/or played have not been flat and boring!

Good deal thanks

No worries, happy farming

Have a look at Rennebu, it's a massivly big map, and it does have some flat areas, so it's possible to build your own farm.
There are several videos showcasing it.
FarmSimGuy, Agrsy, The CamPeR, Daggerwin and Farmer Klein are a few

Since I have gotten my gaming laptop I spend a lot of time on Hannah Indiana. Other maps I have been playing on are Midwest Horizon and Green Valley Nebraska. They are 4X maps and seem to take a big portion especially all the fields that are on Hannah ID, I personally can’t say I have too many European maps but love spending my time on Calmsden on my console.

The biggest map i've seen is 64x West End

1x (standard map) = 2km x 2km
4x = 4km x 4km. This is probably the most popular size on PC and usually will state that its 4x either in the title or description.
16x = 8km x 8 km. There are a few out there but not too many and again will usually state the size in the title or description.
64x = 32km x 32km. This is about as big as they get and there arent too many out there.

Chilliwack bc 4x is a pretty neat map. Think farmerklaein are doing a letsplay on it.

It think big maps looks better on paper than they really are. Mostly beacuse of viewing distance and whats not put on the map regarding trees and buildings to make it playable. You look at the minimap and see a nice small town, that looks lived in. When you play the map and all you got is fs15 texured houses with no extras around them. No driveways, no fences, no props, no people etc...

Daggerwin has a series on Rennebu. New episodes every thursday. Mind you, Daggerwin has the very latest (and for now, unreleased to the public) version of the map.

The Camper also has a series, doing only forestry. The Camper started his series before I even knew he was interested, so he's on an older version of the map.

The main differences on the map versions are
- tons of terrain fixes (smoothing, leveling, ground textures and foliage)
- new forestry/dirt roads
- return of all the crops
- the grain mill can now process all crop types into different goods you can sell at the grocery store

Red River Manitoba is one. Huge big map. Quite scenic.

Search for Landkreis Rostock from MadMaxxDE. Its a x4 tho, but with hills and 100 hectar fields. Ive played it for awhile, its pretty nice, well made.

This might be an unpopular opinion about large maps but as much as I appreciate the scenery I usually stay and play around my main farm so I never even use 75% of the map. The other problem I see with such maps is the way the pixels are large so often my bailer miss material from the ground or the edges of the field look jagged.

Currently I play on Neu - Minibrunn which is a small map and I absolutely love the atmosphere and details. When the map edges set up correctly you cant really tell if you play on a small or large map.

Of course large maps important if you want to plow in a straight line for 3 hours without turning lol.

YouTubers out there that do let's play on 8x or bigger maps?
1x (standard map) = 2km x 2km
4x = 4km x 4km.
16x = 8km x 8 km.
64x = 32km x 32km.

That EX thing doesn't mean anything, its fake, Use Actual Size (terrains).

If you are looking for large terrains then you are in luck because PMC has released several huge ones.

PMC Cereal Region 32km
PMC King Corn 45km
PMC Korkscrew 40km
PMC RedWhiteBlue 10km
PMC Super Six 6km
PMC Undefined Farms 20km

As you can see from the sizes all but PMC Super Six 6km are considered either large or huge.

Latest development updates for FS22 PMC terrains can be found from PMC Tactical forum.

You spent a lot of work on the article to be wrong in your math. The above part is correct. You need to look at the area that's why it is called a 4x because it is 4x times larger in area than standard size. It is just simple math of square since every map is a square.
