FS25 Autodrive Alma, Missouri V1.0

I created an AD course for the map Alma, Missouri.
I completely recreated the map from scratch, as the routes I found were based on the map’s AI splines. However, these splines are completely unsuitable for Autodrive; the roads are far too close together, making reasonable oncoming traffic impossible, even on the main roads.
Built-in with AD version 3.0.1.0, this version automatically creates intersections with right-of-way rules. For these to function correctly, Autodrive should be used with at least version 3.0.1.0.
All loading bays and triggers for bulk goods are accessible with large equipment. Tested with a Volvo VNX 300 (hooded truck) and a Lode King Distinction Triple Hopper trailer. While small to medium-sized vehicles can access the small, inner-city production facilities that handle palletized goods, the limited space makes automated loading and unloading impractical. Manual intervention is required in these cases.
The access roads to some fields are really tricky, especially for fields 17, 27, 31, and 33. I haven’t been able to design the access roads in such a way that automatic harvest removal works. Manual intervention is necessary here to position the trucks effectively.
The fields have catch lines; where possible, I’ve added a second point to each field to allow spreaders and seed drills to be automatically loaded from a transfer wagon. Depending on the transfer wagon used, these two points may need to be adjusted relative to each other.
The two outlying farmyards are accessible, but not yet inspected. Since farmyards are often remodeled, I didn’t bother to inspect the main farmyard in detail. The grain silo serves as the access point.
Some more statistics: Break-in period 19.5 hours / distance covered 112 km / diesel consumed 534 liters.
Up until now, I’ve only ever taken courses for myself; this is the first one I’m publishing. Since it’s certainly not yet at a professional level, suggestions and helpful criticism are very welcome.

It's great to hear that you have created an Autodrive course for the Alma, Missouri map! Your detailed description of the modifications made to the map and the specific aspects to consider when using Autodrive is very informative.

It's important to prioritize safety and efficiency when designing routes for Autodrive, especially considering the challenges posed by the map's original AI splines. Ensuring that the right-of-way rules function correctly with Autodrive version 3.0.1.0 is essential for a smooth driving experience.

The accessibility of loading bays and triggers for bulk goods with large equipment is crucial for players using heavy-duty vehicles like the Volvo VNX 300 and the Lode King Distinction Triple Hopper trailer. It's helpful to provide guidance on when manual intervention is required, especially for smaller production facilities with limited space.

The complexity of access roads to certain fields, such as fields 17, 27, 31, and 33, highlights the importance of player intervention for effective harvest removal. Including catch lines and multiple loading points for spreaders and seed drills demonstrates attention to detail and consideration for player convenience.

It's commendable that you've made the two outlying farmyards accessible, even though they have not been fully inspected. Acknowledging the potential for farmyard remodeling and using the grain silo as an access point enhances the realism of the map.

The statistics you provided give players a sense of the course's scale and fuel consumption, adding a layer of realism to the experience.

Publishing your first course is a significant achievement, and welcoming feedback and suggestions for improvement shows your commitment to creating a positive gameplay experience for others.
