FS25 Dakota 16x – (PrecisionFarming) v1.2.0.1

v1.2.0.1
– Fixed an error with the Precision Farming addition. I believe Precision Farming should be working properly, now.

To use Precision Farming you MUST have Thundr’s Precision Farming Configurator in your mod folder.

For new saves, you should then be all set.
For continuing with an existing save, some people have an issue. In those cases, you have to delete these:
precisionFarming grle’s from your savegame folder, so PF makes new ,proper sized, ones. After resetting the PF layers, the game should run normally from then on out.

v1.2.0.0
Thanks to Thundr’s script, and the help of Tuzlo, I believe we have a properly working Precision Farming, now. This seems to require a new save.

v1.1.0.4
Reverted Meadow to default meadow.
Reverted Grass to default grass.
Made map default for normal farming, but added READ ME instructions on how to do a file swap that will allow Precision Farming to work, albeit with an error.

v1.1.0.3
Update to crop calendar.
Reverted crop pricing, and yields, to default values.
Reverted mowers back to having grass turn into grass windrow.

A new save is recommended, however, if you started playing on Dakota 16x on v1.1.00, or after, the only thing that won’t be correct is the crop pricing. To fix this, start a new save game, then go into the savegame folder of the new save, copy the “economy” file, and paste it into your main savegame folder.

v1.1.0.2
fixed meadow mowing

v1.1.0.1
fixed ability to create new fields with plows
fixed error that would not allow meadow and grass to be mowed
when grass/meadow is mowed it will now become a hay windrow

v1.1.0.0
Added Precision Farming capability (thanks to svauloup)
Removed about 1/2 of the trees, including around 90% near the roadways.
Removed some clutter, to improve performance.
Added ditches to the roadways.
Custom crop calendar (geo) to match the upper midwest, in America.
Custom crop yields and sell prices to make all of the typical midwest crops nearly equally worth doing, and to more align with realistic values.

v1.0.0.0
Welcome to the Dakota 16x map. It has a small town area in the center of the map, with all of the sellpoints, and a shop. There is one, small, starting farm, as well as a bigger starting area for those that would like to create their own farm. The map has been designed with the intention of running on lower end machines and on multiplayer servers, hence the smaller file size.

Please, if you find any issues, have any suggestions, or would like to stay up to date with the map’s progress, join the Dakota Farmer discord, here: Tn AutoDrive courses, in English, and German, can be found on the discord, as well.

Note: It is seeming like 32gb of RAM is needed to load a 16x maps on FS25. We, currently, do not have a workaround for this, and will keep everyone updated if we figure something out.

Thank you for sharing the detailed changelog for the Dakota 16x map with the Precision Farming addition. It's great to see the continuous improvements and fixes that have been implemented in each version update.

The addition of Precision Farming capability in v1.1.0.0 and the subsequent fixes and adjustments in later versions show a dedication to enhancing the gameplay experience for users. It's important to note the specific steps required to ensure proper functioning of Precision Farming, such as having Thundr’s Precision Farming Configurator in the mod folder and performing the necessary actions for both new and existing saves.

The attention to detail in reverting certain aspects to default values, updating the crop calendar, adjusting crop pricing and yields, and making the map default for normal farming while providing instructions for enabling Precision Farming through a file swap demonstrates a thoughtful approach to balancing gameplay elements.

The removal of trees and clutter, addition of ditches to roadways, customization of crop calendar, yields, and sell prices to align with the upper midwest region, and the implementation of various scripts to enhance gameplay further highlight the effort put into creating an immersive and enjoyable farming experience on the Dakota 16x map.

Lastly, the note about the system requirements, specifically the recommendation of 32GB of RAM to load a 16x map on FS25, and the commitment to keeping users informed about any potential workarounds or solutions exemplify transparent communication with the community and a willingness to address technical challenges as they arise.

Overall, it's clear that the development team behind the Dakota 16x map is dedicated to delivering a high-quality and engaging gameplay experience for players. Your detailed changelog provides valuable information for users, and your commitment to ongoing updates and improvements is commendable.
