Mod: Valley Crest Farm 4x
Very, very good map. Love the 4x size. Good size fields, lots of addons to work with, and everything seems to be setup pretty good.

However, in my opinion, the map is greatly lacking in fill-compacity balance vs map size.

Example 1: I planted potatoes on the 3 small feilds at the homestead and got 216,000 litres from the harvest. The silo for potatoes only holds 250,000. one harvest I almost have the compacity of the potatoe silo filled. The grain silo is maxed at 500,000. When looking at the size of the fields to the north and south, I doubt the grain silo will last very long.

Example 2: The compost maker's fill compacity for waste is 50,000. Its output of compost is maxed at 100,000. So basically, to use the compost maker you need to pitch a tent right beside it and babysit it.... because it goes through waste (and fuel) very, very quickly. You no sooner fill it and it's empty again.... or it stops working because the compost output is full. It's a headache to bother with.

Example 3: When considering that there is a great demand for fuel on this map.... as many things won't work without fuel or biogas.... you quickly run into another headache. Creating biogas at the northern biogas plant is like watching water boil in a snowstorm. (and) I gave up on creating fuel at the plant. You can't grow canola quickly enough to meet the demand for fuel around the map, it's not the quickest machine for transfer, and it's compacity isn't worth working with in the first place. I use my own placeable for creating fuel to try to keep up with the compost maker.... which drinks fuel like its a free comodity you get by the truck loads.

Again, Valley Farm v1.7 is an excellent map. But the fill compacity is quite discouraging considering the size of the map. Nothing seems to hold anything worth driving a truck down to it to fill it. And some things you do fill becomes empty again extremely fast (compost maker) while other ideas are a considerable test of one's patience (biogas plant for creating biogas).

Overall, I love the map. I'm downloading v1.7.1 to see what has been changed or updated. I hope to see more balance to the fill compacities in future map updates.

Thanks for the link. This is exactly what I was looking for. size 4x, Mining, bigger fields, animals are setup pretty decent, lots of addon factories, etc,.

I spent about an hour just roaming around the map in the pickup truck, and it looks absolutely great. The difference between the standard 3.0 and the 4x 1.7 is definitely worth starting a new profile/game.

Again, thanks for the link.

Excellent map. Easily recommended. Found no errors so far.

Wish it was a 4x map with a few flat areas for placeables, and bigger fields. The fields are very small.

The map seems more for players who want a small fleet with low yeild farming/playing experience. As the description explains. This is a "standard" map, with much added. I like this map for the mining mainly.

Looking forward to future updates to this map.
