Map identity?

Post by Earnest Pea »

While looking through todays mods I noticed something interesting that I can't identify. The mod 'Pick Your Starting Farm' has an image of a map which I haven't seen. The best I can determine is that its a UK map based in Lincolnshire. Does anyone know this map and where to find it?

I searched his name on YT, found this video from couple months ago, look like the map you are looking for, it's called: Fen Edge and it's a work in progress i believe: https://youtu.be/RZgpeLA3ayM

Thanks a ton! I'll check it out. It looks like it could be an interesting map from an area of the UK that hasn't seen any maps in 22.

Hiya! Yep, the screenshots are of an upcoming map I'm working on, which hopefully will go into closed beta testing in a couple of weeks time. I had to get the Pick your starting farm mod released beforehand, otherwise the map itself wouldn't work!

Looks like a great map. I'll definitely be playing it when it arrives. Out of curiousity, is 'Pick Your Starting Farm' a required mod, or can it be played without?

It will be able to be played without it if you want to (and of course to make it MP Compatible), but it's been designed from the outset to use that functionality for single player mode. There are currently 10 different starting "positions", 9 farms and a start from scratch mode. Each of the farms will have a different vehicle set which you'll start with regardless of difficulty level chosen (Sadly I can't change that menu as it's part of the base game before any mods are loaded), but each farm and difficulty level will have a different starting amount of cash (including negative balances!)

What the "default" or non Pick Your Starting Farm experience will be still needs to be decided. I might make that a vote amongst the testers as to which farm they feel makes the best New Farmer starting point.

So the functionality is far more than just choosing where you want to start. Really cool! As a further question, if you start with the 'Pick Your Starting Farm' mod, can the mod be removed once the save has been started? I'm thinking that you could save and exit, remove it from the active mods on the next reload, and then delete the mod afterwards. Would that work, or is the mod required for continued play?

Once you have a save game, the mod is irrelevant and doesn't continue to run. I'm not sure what you'd gain by removing it from the active mods since it basically auto stops itself anyway, but that would need to be tested I guess.

Well, I did. However, I managed not to register the paragraph I’m sure you are referencing. Not be quite so sarcastic because of a mistake, maybe, unless, of course, you’ve never missed something. Thank you for pointing that out, though. I’m happy to know that.

I'll admit that I find your reply confusing. I asked what I felt was a legitimate question, purely out of curiousity. The creator of the mod said he wasn't sure, as he had never tested that functionality. I thanked him for responding. There was no sarcasm and none was intended.

I'd fully agree, except that they quoted my message. I'm not upset, though, just slightly confused.
