This mod for FS25 sounds like a great addition for players who prefer starting their game in the spring season and enjoy a fresh beginning with cultivated fields. By synchronizing the crop calendar with the spring start, it ensures a consistent and immersive gameplay experience.

The feature of resetting all fields, both owned and unowned, to a cultivated state at the beginning of a new career is a thoughtful inclusion to provide players with a clean slate for their farming activities. This also eliminates any growing or harvest-ready crops, maintaining the integrity of the spring start and allowing players to plan their farming strategies from scratch.

It's reassuring to know that the mod is designed for one-time execution per savegame, making it safe to disable later if desired. The compatibility with GIANTS base maps further expands its potential player base, offering a seamless integration into different farming environments.

The implementation of a delayed system-safe method for field resets demonstrates an attention to detail to prevent any conflicts with the base map. While there may be a slight delay or a momentary info message during the process, these are minor considerations compared to the benefits of starting in spring. Once the initial setup is complete and saved, the mod seamlessly transitions into the regular gameplay mode without any further interference.

Overall, this mod seems to be a well-thought-out and user-friendly addition for players looking to begin their farming journey in spring and experience a more immersive and structured gameplay from the start.
