Is there a way where i can remove a prebuild farm to build my own?
You have two options when it comes to this.
First option being download the UMRV (Build your own farm) edition. Honestly this is the best and easiest way to make your own farms on this map, however all of the farms will be blank, so if you want to keep the others as they are in the original map for detail sake, then use the second option.
Second option is to learn how to use giants editor to remove the buildings you do not want on the farm you're using. You will also need to understand how to find and remove stuff in the placables.xml if you intend to remove any of the animal pens or straw blowers.
Nice map, water has flickering issues when looked at at certain angels. Also, you need to make the fermenting silo a placeable can because some farms don't have them.
Does need a updates from the sound of the other comments
I can't get the new save to load past 85% in single player. But it loads in multiplayer but I don't have a farm.
I am having this same problem too! it really sucks since this looks like a really fun game to play on. I've downloaded all the mods that were required but its still stuck on 85%
I figured it out if you create a multiplayer server on this map you get all the farms and you just have to play in multiplayer.
just moved entire operation to century farms and the milk trigger doesn't work :/ any suggestions on how to troubleshoot. at this point i might even attempt to learn giants editor to investigate. really killing me
I am having a couple issues with pigs at Dry Creek Ranch. The pigs visually appear in random places on the map (for example in the middle of field 7, 26, etc.). Also, when I try to sell pigs at the Animal Dealer, the trigger only links to the Dry Creek Ranch pig sty. It seems like the pig sty is covering a very large portion of the map for some reason.
Great Map. Like it a lot. But how do i reach field 40?
when driving over the inbound scales at suncorp something is stopping my truck like it’s hitting something
hi i have a Major bug issues when i bought from the store a TLX truck, Trailer, and 2x Tanks to fill with fertilizer and seeds i was driving back to my farm and my truck and trailer was flying after going though the stop lights. My Log is clean of any mods issues if you find a fix let me know.
That is not a mod conflict. Rather, the map is set up with invisible walls at stop lights so you can't plow through ;)
hi so when the traffic lights change will the invisible will disappear (just for red lights)?
Yes, when the light is green, the invisible wall will disappear!
Does this map have earcorn on it?
Hey guys,
anyone else having this weired lagging/stuttering issue? (Not shader caching after a settings change!) When you drive up and down in the same spot, every like 50 meters, there is about half a second with some noticable stuttering. I am running an i9-9900KF @ 5.1 GHz and a RTX 3090, performance obviously is great in any other game or map on FS22.
BR
Is anyone else having an issue with the grain dryers only showing the amount of corn and dried corn in them? Even though you can load other crops like soybeans, wheat, etc.
Hi I have the same problem.
same here
Same issue loading wheat into main silo. Grain does not show as being in my silo.
Seems to give "No more Interval timers" error in the console and if you try to save it's just stuck there. Shame :|
No other mods except the ones required and anhydrous.
EDIT: Looks the No more interval timers is not related to the map, but the saving problem is only on this map, quite odd.
Is there a way to upgrade/update the silo textures? They look blocky compared to most everything else on the map.
I think that has to do with the traffic signals.. when it's green you can go.
Great map. Not a fan of the color of the water. Seems like transmission fluid or toxic waste. Sorry.
We tried to put down additional pens for animals and it says that we cannot. Can you only use the prebuilt animal facilities in the map. I suppose this could be a rogue mod doing something.
In real life Iowa is to the west and Wisconsin it to the east.
Are you using the More Animal Husbandries Possible (64) mod that is linked above that will allow you to put down more pens
Interested in this very much, So I installed it. when i entered the game though none of the parking lots have pavement its all water and also water in all the low lying areas?
Same issue here
Is anyone having the issue of buying a production point “in town” but when you driver items they just sell off? We are playing a multiplayer but only one farm.
hello everyone! Does anybody has the issue with harvest contracts?
We’ve launched multiplayer and we got only 2 contracts at the start, after it all the npc grown crops got rotten without any contract call. Also we’ve noticed that we do fertilizing contracts every month of the year in some fields 5-6 times a year…a bit tired of it already🤪 what could be a problem?
We use basic precision farming, lime contracts, renew contracts and delivery contracts mods on the server.
Does anybody face the same issues with contracts, guys? Really love the map, and disappointed by such issues.
Hi! I am playing same map. I suggest to download mod Better Contracts where You can adjust lot of things. Feature You are talikng about is "Lazy NPC" feature in that mod, where You can put all NPCs to be lazy and give most of works to contracts. I recomend to download it directly from GitHub, since version there is more recent than in Modhub.
TIP: all new contracts are generated in first 10-15 min. of first day of the month after midnight. Sometimes NPC "decides" to do it itself and contract disapears before You can accept it.
Thank you very much, KingArthur. Will give it a try. Hope we get some harvest contracts:))
this has not worked for us, using better contracts. Many good fields still go withered.
The new Giants patch is conflicting with your map. Will there be an update to work with the new patch?
FS22_UMRV_4X.zip\maps\mapUS\shaders\terrainShader.xml
At the end of the getPatchCoords method in the terrainShader.xml there is this line:
return pos + instanceData.xy;
Add in the following line directly above it:
pos *= instanceData.w;
So it should look like:
pos *= instanceData.w;
return pos + instanceData.xy;
No doubt DJ Modding will release an update at some stage. This problem will exist for all modded maps prior to 1.9.1. Opening and saving in the latest Giants Editor may also fix it (I assume, I haven't tried).
Opening and saving in the new GE did not fix it. As not all people are willing to edit their xml, the message was more to see if a patch by DJ Modding would be coming.
So everyone with a decent pc has to play a low quality map because of your cheap pc. Upgrade your pc. It is just fine on mine.
Hello, im really loving this map so far. But it seems that the harvest contracts are to tight or something. Done 4 harvest contracts and all 3 contracts got stuck at 99%. It was field 1,45,12
Hi! I am playing same map. I suggest to download mod Better Contracts where You can adjust success %. I recomend to download it directly from GitHub, since version there is more recent than in Modhub.
Better Contracts
Hello, Thank you for the advice. I installed it yesterday, and this works great!. Have a nice day
Hi, not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but bale wrappers do not work for me.
any plan for adding maize plus option on the sillage silo (blue silo)?
Hi, thanks for creating a lovely map. In version 1 it was possible to store corn stalks and bean stalks in a silo but that does not work in v2. Is this intentional?
It does get stored but it just doesn't show as being in the silo under stored products. I fixed my copy by taking the needed lines from the V1 placeables grain dryer xml for the associated farm and putting it the V2 xml. I am not sure if this was intended and I know this may not answer your question but wanted to at least let you know it can be stored. If you go to the silo after dumping it should pop up as a selectable output.
Thanks, that's at least a way around my problem. Thanks a lot :-)
I also want to add that the mod "Upgradeable factories" does not work with this. I copied the xml files from v1 to v2 but I just got "no spare capacity for corn stalks" until I disabled "Upgradeable factories"
i notice on 44 buy area if you buy the field it doesnt change the 44 color until you buy the whole chunk of forest and the rest of the map area combined with that
funny bug, i was harvesting soy beans in the snow, once I was finished and drove into a snowless shed, it dumped about 50k of straw on the shed floor haha.
This is a Giant's issue, not a map issue. This will happen on every map. I discovered while playing elm creek shortly after release.
Ooooh yeah ok filltype on filltype
Does anyone know how to delete this wagon with the two bales in it (decoration). I can't delete or see it in the Giants Editor.
This is on circle farms. I deleted the stock building and put my own, so it looks a bit different.
Any help is appreciated!
Also, thank you DJ for bringing this map to FS22.
Nevermind, found it.
For anyone else that wants to delete it, it's in \FS22_UMRV_4X\maps\mapUS\placeables\animals\cowBarn1Farm3.i3d
Thanks so much for the map mate, having a blast.
One bug I've noted - Circle Farm grain bin it refills itself lol, took out 46k of grain and it reappeared.
it also doesn't show how much is stored.
That's also happening with me. Same thing with the hay silo.
i had a case ih 8250
Great map by DJ, I downloaded the same day it dropped. I love DJ's maps because the multiple farms you can choose from. I have play on three different farms, and they are all high quality. Highly recommend the map!
Really like this map! so far the only issues I have is that all of the textures somehow end up being lowest res. Not sure what to do, I'm not running a hyper-computer but most other maps run at the same fps and still use decently visible res. And also that white open shed next to the white barn on black acres eats of frames like there's 35 implements in it.
Edit: a relatively small but i doubt will work for everyone fix was changing the renderer to DX11. Can be done by going into game.xml and changing D3D_12 to of course D3D_11. Fixed both issues.
Great Map - think i may have found a bug - in the railroad silo unload point for some reason the base game semi trailers will only unload the back hopper automatically - i am having to unload the front hopper manually every time? looks like if you zoom into the inside of the building it is missing the front portion of the unload point?
i downloaded this map from the Itch.to app on pc it let's me download it from itch.to website i just thought it would be easier though the itch.to app but it says this host is on incompatble third party site if you know how to fix this let me know or a way around this ?
An amazing map but too many bugs for me. Having problems with contracts on some fields, alfalfa doesn’t regrow and grain bins multiplying what I already have stored. Hope it gets fixed soon but until then I’ll stick to Midwest Horizons.
It's really too bad that corn stalks can't be used for bedding. And the swaths are gigantic, much too large.
Thanks for this map, we enjoy playing on it.
Seem to run into an issue where contracts do not complete even when the work is done. This happened so far on 4 different fields (36, 42, 23, 21) but there may be others.
is there a manure spawn point
hey, it might be my game but I noticed the silage silos when activated on the main farm don't work. i was wondering if anyone had a fix for them?
thanks for that beautiful map! I’m having a blast with it!
The one thing I noticed is that alfalfa and clover don’t regrow. I tried with only the map, precision farming and easy dev in my mod folder, I tried to monkey around with it a bit but can’t figure it out. Any tips to get the problem solved?
cheers
Anyone else having issues using the bean and corn stalks for TMR. It seems as though mixing wagons don't have it as a fill type. Anyone know how to fix this?
