This is just what I was looking for. A nice small map, but lets me do most any of the farming stuff I want. Though I appreciate the default and larger maps (and I can still enjoy them), I found that I spent the majority of my time driving around (they were almost TOO big, and even with the PDA map, sometimes taking wrong turns and getting "lost") just transporting things from one point to another, to sell products or to move equipment I needed, etc... , and not nearly enough time actually farming. I really like the compact size of this map. Thanks for also turning off the withering-crops too (I'm not a fan of that feature, especially on the big maps where you simply don't have time to get from place to place). You've included everything I need on this map. I also think this is a really great beginners, and gives one a good chance to learn how to use the various equipment and do the many farming activities. My sincere thanks for your efforts of making and sharing this wonderful little map. :) Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Just a small glitch I've noticed: I got some sheep, and put grass in the feeding-trough. When a couple of the sheep go to feed at the through, they suddenly just freeze, like statues (though you can hear their eating sound) and remain that way until I quit the session. So far it seems to be two brown sheep that do this. The other sheep still move around (so far I bought 10 sheep), and wool production still continues as normal. Exiting to the menu then reloading the save, it "re-sets" the sheep, but after a little while, the same thing, a couple of the sheep "freeze" at the feeding-trough. So far it just seems to be a minor visual / graphical glitch, and doesn't seem to adversely affect the game-play (everything still appears to continue and work as normal), but I thought I'd mention about it.
One more follow-up regarding the sheep problem: After completing exiting the game, then restarting, though upon first loading, Productivity starts at 0%, and Wool doesn't seem to increase. But after a few minutes the Productivity will then jump to 100%, and Wool will start gradually increasing again. So though a couple of sheep still get "frozen" at the feeding-trough, the Productivity and Wool will continue again after a few minutes of loading in a session with this map.
First off, thank you for your very nice compliment on my map. It makes me happy that someone else likes smaller maps like I do.
Next, thank you for bringing the sheep issue to my attention and I will look into it and if I can I will fix it, this is my first map with 2013.
I'm much enjoying your map. It's one of my favorites now :)
I imagine a lot of people could appreciate and enjoy farming on a well made small map like this.
I'm thinking of probably getting into making some maps myself, and I had something like this in mind; a small map, but with all of the main things available.
Another minor glitch I've noticed; A couple of the parked cars I seen seem partially "sunken" into the ground. Of course this doesn't affect game-play at all, it's just more of a visual / graphics oddity I noticed.
