FS25 Fen Edge V1.0

Welcome to Fen Edge, based on a real location in the UK on the edge of the Lincolnshire Fens. The map is 4km x 4km and has 149 fields ranging from 0.5 Ha to ~28Ha, an area to purchase to put placeables and a couple of woodlands to buy.

This map has some innovative features and details that help bring the area to life.
– It has 2 different shops – a main shop for equipment and a second shop which provides Agri chemicals and pallets/big bags.
– The various Farm Yards have been designed to function correctly in Multiplayer. This isn’t a map where the default farm owns everything. All placeables are purchasable with the land they’re on.
– The inbuilt script “Farm Contracts” adds the NPC owned farm yards to the contract missions as delivery stations. These sell points are basically hidden from view, and only relevant when you take a contract to deliver to them. They will NOT be bought with the land, and become inactive should you buy the farmyard.
– The agri chemical buy point has a telehandler that can be used by anyone. However, be advised that taking it outside of the agri chem site will expose you to steep rental charges (2500 per minute!) until you return it.
– A custom soilmap has been added for Precision Farming compatibility.
– Many custom and purpose built models and buildings.
– Seasonal Growth Calendar.

Fen Edge has been created to provide the gameplay that I am interested in, by which I mean that it will not be for everyone and that’s OK. There are plenty of excellent maps out there all tailored to different experiences and if you don’t enjoy Fen Edge, please feel free to tell me why. Just don’t expect me to necessarily change anything. The map has been designed for realistic play, and has not been built around productions particularly as I am not interested in them, there are no productions in this initial version of the map although you are of course able to add your own during game play.

Thank you for sharing information about the Fen Edge map in FS25! It's clear that a lot of thought and detail has gone into creating a realistic and immersive farming experience for players. Here are some points I'd like to highlight and discuss further:

1. **Map Size and Field Variety:** The 4km x 4km map size with 149 fields ranging in size provides a diverse farming landscape for players to engage with. The range of field sizes offers both larger and smaller-scale farming opportunities, allowing for a mix of field operations.

2. **Innovative Features:** The inclusion of two different shops catering to equipment and agri chemicals/pallets, along with functioning farm yards designed for multiplayer interaction, adds depth to the gameplay experience. The Farm Contracts script expands the gameplay possibilities by integrating NPC-owned farm yards as contract delivery stations.

3. **Resource Management:** The inclusion of an agri chemical buy point with a telehandler adds a unique layer of resource management for players. The rental charges for taking the telehandler outside the site encourage strategic planning and efficient use of resources.

4. **Precision Farming Compatibility:** The custom soil map for Precision Farming compatibility reflects attention to detail and a focus on realistic farming practices. This feature can enhance gameplay for players interested in precision agriculture techniques.

5. **Custom Models and Buildings:** The use of custom and purpose-built models and buildings contributes to the map's visual appeal and creates a unique farming environment for players to explore and interact with.

6. **Seasonal Growth Calendar:** The implementation of a seasonal growth calendar enhances realism and challenges players to adapt their farming strategies based on seasonal changes, adding depth to the gameplay experience.

7. **Player-Centric Design:** The map creator's emphasis on designing Fen Edge for their own preferred gameplay style, while acknowledging that it may not suit everyone, demonstrates a personalized approach to map development. Providing players with the freedom to customize their experience by adding their own productions during gameplay aligns with the flexibility and creativity that define the FS series.

Overall, Fen Edge seems to offer a rich and detailed farming experience with a focus on realism, multiplayer interaction, and immersive gameplay elements. Players who enjoy a realistic and diverse farming environment are likely to appreciate the effort and creativity put into developing this map.
