This is a hill farm map with all the normal crops + pig & cattle fattening + the soil mod. It is a fictional map inspired by The Sperrin Mountain area in Northern Ireland, Donegal in Eire, and East Ayrshire in Scotland, although it could just as easily be any valley in the UK or Eire.
The roads are mainly narrow, winding & steep and the fields are not much different, so this map will be a challenge to farm.
There are 56 fields ranging in size from approximately 0.5 hectares to 11.5 hectares (not including the cow & the sheep pastures). Fields are priced according to size and their suitability for harvesting.
The usual Sale & Refill points are found throughout the map with the odd extra ones eg., the Livestock Market at the edge of the village. Water can also be refilled at various points along the Gelvin River for free or at any of the numerous Water Hydrant points (the hydrants charge for their use). There were originally 6 silage pits, unfortunately I have had to remove the 2 from the covered pits in the main Dairy Farm due to Log Errors, but I have now decided to use these pits as storage for Potatoes(nearest the river) & Beet(beside the potatoes). Collision has been removed from all the auto gates mainly to prevent the “Catapult effect” when leaving fields. You have to search hard at the Free Range Chicken Farm for the eggs, the hens will lay in loose straw anywhere in that area including the two closest fields hedgerows. Prices for crops are tough on Hard mode as I have priced as much as possible to current realistic UK hill farm crop values, if this is too tough though Normal & Easy settings double values each time. There is also a working Wool Palette Collector in the farm yard at the Sheep Area.
If you like to farm alone you shouldn’t feel too lonely as there is two-way traffic on almost every road.
Finally, I think, there are a few Cleared Flat areas to make it easier to position Placeable Mods as I know many folk like to use them. Enjoy.
Within the map ZIP file there is a PDF “Gelvin Valley Users Guide” explaining the farm/farms and their working in more detail. DO NOT unzip the file to get the PDF, this will break the map for multiplayer, instead right click on the ZIP & select & drag the PDF to your desk top & a copy will be made there.
