I know you’re on break right now, if anyone that sees this and knows how to fix the custom animal pastures having canola instead of grass lmk. I tried looking for it and couldn’t find anything as far as a fix.
I've encountered one error when running this map with realistic livestock. It seams the animals don't want to reproduce. it always says there is no suitable male (very modern problem to be fair) in the pen. Just thought I'd report it incase anyone else is experiencing the same issues. Don't expect you'll fix this per say, but if you did it would be amazing.
Should've mentioned. I have purchased males. It mostly happens for chickens. Not sure if its Realistic Animals or the map. But chickens work on other maps with no issue for me. I'll try placing down a new coop. Maybe the coop is causing problems.
I'm not getting the meadows to work either. I even re-painted the pastures with regular meadow grass which has worked on other maps with this issue. Not sure if it's a file issue? Otherwise it's an absolutely incredible map. Only other thing that has been an issue is there are a lot of signs close to the roads at the farm by the whiskey factory I bought. Not a huge deal. I just knock them all over 1st time through on reload and don't worry about them after lol.
I definitely agree that this is the best map on FS25 right now and I know a lot of others agree as well. I worry because there hasn't been an update in a while and there are some conflicts with mods we need like better winch etc. Hopefully the creator is still updating this one and hasn't moved on to other projects. I don't blame them if they do because I know it gets old trying to hammer out the little things but unfortunately, as much as I love the map, there are issues causing me to use others until it is fixed. Honestly tho- this is the best map out there in terms of the build.
Awesome job on this DJ and team. This has got to be by far the best map for FS25. I'm very impressed with the level of detail and realism. The custom productions and real life logos and brands are nice touch. 4x is the perfect size.
I've only had a few minor issues so far like the meadows bug and ethanol plant but that's to be expected with a brand new map, I'm sure they will be addressed with updates.
Any chance you could add lavender as a crop (Gnadenthal map By: Iron Thunder has the necessary files. I'm sure he wouldn't mind copying them if asked)?
Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing what else you guys cook up!
Possible to adjust collisions on some of the decorations around sell points? Even without AutoDrive the decorations around 'Iron Ridge Grain' clip larger trailers. Larger/longer dump trigger zones would benefit many of the sell points.
Sleep trigger for Snowcap Hollow Farm residence does not work.
Not personally but it's likely your PC is hitting its limit. This map is very demanding. Others have lowered their graphics settings or upgraded their hardware.
You could also try removing some mods especially ones that add new fill types or large scripts like CP or AutoDrive.
Resetting your shaders cache and flying around the map to reload them might help too.
I had this issue too, for me, it was a mod conflict. I've racked my brains to remember which mod, but alas I cannot. It was certainly a mod related to vehicle enhancement (or perhaps a pickup truck), if that's any help.
I had this issue with that vehicle shop storage mod and the major service mod. The two mods are not compatible because they use the exact same menu. I removed the shop storage mod and the repair menu worked again.
i have increased densityMapHeightTypes to 256 (from 63) on this map to allow more TP materials etc. If anyone or author is interested on the quick process let me know.
This will allow mods like Additional Filltypes or Custom Default Types, to load alongside Montana's and base games filltypes that have a densityMapHeight (i.e dumpable filltypes). With 0 mods and just Montana plus base game you are already close to the limit.
I would love if map makers had this in mind when making maps and initially raise the limit, as well as increasing the fruitType limits as well.
numDensityMapChannels="12" and compressionChannels="6" means the map currently has 64 heightTypes (basegame+Montana no other mods uses up almost 60 of those. So mods like Additional Filltypes add 10+ and thus we hit the limit which you will see in log after loading a map in game.
5. the following entries are now adjusted within this line:
before
after
numDensityMapChannels="12"
numDensityMapChannels="14"
compressionChannels="6"
compressionChannels="7"
combinedValuesChannels="0 6 0"
combinedValuesChannels="0 7 0"
heightFirstChannel="6"
heightFirstChannel="7"
heightNumChannels="6"
heightNumChannels="7"
Must save the i3d in text editor after changes^
6. Now. Look for the following entry in the file densityMapHeightTypes.xml (preceded by a map_ or the name of the map).
7. Load map in Giants Editor, check log for errors. If successful (no errors) save again. Then you have a new densityMap_height.gdm and the PNG in “maps/data” can be deleted.
⚠️ Lots of mods include the line above unnecessarily in their own map_densityHeightTypes.xml now that Giants allows you to load that file with any mod via modDesc. Such mods are "Small corn dryer", Grape Production, etc contains its own densityMapHeightTypes.xml, which resets the changes made above! You need to simply go to your mods folder and search "densityHeight" and you will see which mods have that file, every map will have it 99% so ignore those, look for single use mods that have it and check if that line exist, if so change it like so:
<densityMapHeightTypes firstChannel="0" numChannels="6">
to
<densityMapHeightTypes>
No need to define the basegame numChannels of 6. This will override the 7 we set. You only need to check and do this for mods if you are still getting an error of you running out of height Types when using something like Additional FillTypes. Or simply remove mods (that arent maps) that have a map_density file if you are having trouble. Such mods you will see are things like Compost addons, or any new crop/material that adds a filltype that can be dumped on the ground(Lambo's "Metal should have been basegame") for example. Most dry corn mods(Montana has drycorn already but not sure if it's dumpable) and any mods with TP/Mining materials. We can now enjoy all of them, but they dont need to resetting the base game num of channels if we want them all at the same time on any map.
I will release my script eventually that will make all of this easier once i work out a few bugs. for now the script only works when packaged with the map, i want it to be standalone.
Good luck, and enjoy. I am currently on Montana with Terrafarm + additional Filltypes and im digging the shit out of it haha. Best map for sure.

wish it looked like montana not the midwest
10/10 map, one of my favorites. Awesome map.

" There is no suitable males" means you haven't bought any Bulls.
Playing the same map and I haven't encountered this issue, one of my cows is expecting twins.

Ahh, I've not got to chickens yet, so you could be right. I just assumed cows... my bad.
You're good, I should explained more haha

What does the Meadow percentage in the cow feed mean ?
It counts as grass/hay in the cow feed but meadows are bugged right now and always stay at zero
Okay thanks

anyone else have the issue if u have too many placeables or vehicles the textures on the buildings and dealer vehicles etc become pixelated?
other than that my favorite map 11/10

having an issue with the vehicle shop and any place able shops not being able to repair or change vehicle options
I had this issue too, for me, it was a mod conflict. I've racked my brains to remember which mod, but alas I cannot. It was certainly a mod related to vehicle enhancement (or perhaps a pickup truck), if that's any help.
This issue is not specific to the map.

I'm very interested in finding out how to increased densityMapHeightTypes to 256.
Let's stick to 128 types for this method.
example:
numDensityMapChannels="12" and compressionChannels="6" means the map currently has 64 heightTypes (basegame+Montana no other mods uses up almost 60 of those. So mods like Additional Filltypes add 10+ and thus we hit the limit which you will see in log after loading a map in game.
