FS25 BallySpring Map V0.2.0.0

!!! IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT THE UPDATE, PLEASE READ !!!

V0.2.0.0

Update is compatible with existing savegames but you will notice a yellow texture in the distance on all the grass fields, this will correct itself after a couple of months playtime ingame.

Due to the edits to the grass, meadow, field grass, alfalfa, clover & mint foliages, any fields with these crops in them will have gone back a stage in growth (2 stages in the case of Meadow).

You can either use Easy Development Controls mod to correct the growth stage manually or wait for it to correct itself after a couple of months playtime ingame.

To correct the field boundaries on existing fields impacted by the deleted boundaries issue, paint along the boundary in the construction menu with the grass ground texture and then paint deco foliage over the ground texture and this should restore the boundary.

V0.1.0.0

Update is compatible with existing savegames

The farmland numbers have been corrected, what this means is the land you own will have changed. To correct the land owned back to what it should be use the Easy Development Controls mod to assign the correct farmlands to your farm / npc owned.

Any trees that were chopped down / removed will now have returned after updating the map, Easiest way to remove the returned trees is using the delete objects feature from the Easy Development Controls mod

====================================================

Report any bugs in our Discord Server.

Welcome to BallySpring!

A fictional Irish map based in the West of Ireland with 226 fields, mainly grassland with some arable fields. There are 12 farm yards to choose from plus an additional Contractors yard at the BGA.

NOTE: Once you start in either Farm Manager or Start from Scratch modes, you don't own any land so wont be able to interact with any of the objects etc. until you purchase some land.

Features:

• Cows can be fed with Silage for 90% effectiveness (As well as the normal TMR etc.) and the Calves can be fed with Milk
• Cows don't produce milk until 27 months old and go through a lactation cycle when pregnant so produce more milk in the months after producing a calf then milk production drops off to 0 in the 3 months leading up to birth of the calf

Hay: Min 20% Max 75%

Silage: Min 20% Max 75%

Due to the amount of pre-placed animal husbandries on the map, the More Animal Husbandries Possible (64) mod is

required to make all husbandries functional and enable additional husbandries to be placed down.

NOTE: In FS25 you cannot place buildings etc. where there is an animal navigation mesh. Bear this in mind when placing the open pastures.

You can optionally enable the following mods and have extra placeables appear in a couple of the yards. Without these mods active you will see some warnings in the log for missing store items, these are harmless and can be ignored:

• WaterGate (FS25_WaterGate)
• Silos AS Pack (FS25_SilosAS)
• Sugar Beet Shredder (FS25_Sugar_Beet_Shredder)
• Automated Multi-Functional Workshop (FS25_fullServiceWorkshop)

The parked cars on the map can be removed by going to the left side of the shop on the outside and up against the wall beside the bins, there is a trigger and in your help menu you will be prompted to press a button to "Hide Parked Cars"

NOTE: This will only take effect once you reload the game as the cars get spawned into position when the game loads up.

To enable the custom wildlife to load correctly, you need to copy the contents of the 'data' folder from within the maps zip file into your basegame data folder.

Included with the maps placeables pack is a tire that you can purchase from the pallets menu in the shop and use to decorate your silage pit after covering.

For an explanation of number plate format for those not from Ireland, checkout the description of our number plates prefab pack here.

Thanks to Carl-TG for allowing us to integrate the peat system mod into the map.
