West Texas 1.0.0.4
By: The Great Lebowski
Description
Update to the previous map 1.0.0.3. Reason for the update is to make the map compatible with the newly released free dlc from Giants "Precision Farming" and as well make improvements to the map. Here's a quick rundown on the changes.
Improvements: Made the map more friendly to logging to the original plan. Added a lot more trees to the map. I raised the prices for fruit types/crops to a respectable level. My goal is to make the map a challenge. Want to make peeps think before planting crops and just selling. Added a custom soil type for the map. "Note" I'm not to familiar with soil types in the area. This may change in the future to be more realistic in the area.
Dedicated Server: I cleaned a lot of unnecessary .png files.
Seasons: I made it a little colder in the winter to fit the region better.
Fixed Issues: All contract/transport missions should be set up properly. I had one that wasn't set right and it was throwing a .lua. I removed all palletizing objects that are made from the animals (wool and eggs) away from sheds/barns.
Removed: I got rid of the deco animals at the "animal dealer" They kept dying in seasons so i decided to remove em. Would rather have the space for other things.
"Updating". (I recommend starting an new save game). I only test the mod map without mods and i don't try and test it with previous game saves. The map loads up fine and plays with no errors. I removed .png files and as well added .grle files to make the map work with a custom soil type. As well i changed the values for seasons during the winter. That said and all changes made .I'm sure you will have issues if you don't start a new save game. you could easily re add your vehicles and such without starting from nothing

What are the little white 'huts' for by the big dairy? Where is the manure stored in the large dairy? Also, the moddesc of the map copy I have says v2.1.0.2. You show 1.0.0.4?

I just want to tell you I am just starting on this map and I am both pleasantly surprised with it and very grateful for your work and release of it! I have been looking for a big map to sink my teeth into that had a lot to offer for sale points as well as visuals and a lot of opportunities in choices. That state park is amazing! I have to get Klutch simulations to check this out for multiplayer roll playing!

Ill look into it real quick. I thinks its the the paintable grass in the mapWT.xml
The Great Lebowski
20 Dec 2020 - 22:00
Remove this code line in the mapWT.xml
<paintableFoliages> <paintableFoliage id="1" layerName="grass" firstDensityMapChannel="0" numDensityMapChannels="4" value="2" /></paintableFoliages>
or you can do as what @Lucas said. It works as well

@Rumbbq the straw triggers are under the sheds. The animal load triggers are by the signs for each individual pen. Turn on your interactive zones if you need help finding them. The feed you places outside of the pens (feed lanes). Cant remember if they have a interactive zone or not. Hope that helps

@FarmWrangler The white huts are for calves. I never added decorative calves in there due to performance reasons. There's just alot happening there at that dairy and decide not to add decorative objects there.

@JaxonX Drive by the center pivots with liquid fertilizer and enter the pivot and click the r key to fill the pivot system.
I'm aware of some issues with the pivots right now and I'm working on them. Ones that I dont recommend using is the ones on field 7 and 9. The largest fields. They get hung up on one another.

@pattio2 I can do that but never really did intend on people building anymore drive ways. There's just alot of houses and such on the map. As well I wanted to help dedicated server owners to keep people from building on road surfaces. In short terms I wouldn't be able to do it for that reason alone.
Future preference it will be looked at though. Few roads are just there and may be looked to in the future.
Just a "Tip" Im really not sure if it would work . Try the place anywhere mod. May help you to achieve at what you would like to do on smaller roads. You can smooth out the terrain to remove the grass. I am looking into just removing that aspect all together. Alot of people has asked about it.

@Dan I am not sure what that lua is talking about. What was the last line before it through them codes? That will tell you what's wrong. Other than that the map runs fun. Try and remove mods from your mods folder and try it

Love the map, but the paintable textures paint grass over the top of every texture.

@The Great Lebowski Thank you guys so much!

What you do there is paint first, then smooth it out, it'll delete the grass

grass growing all paintable textures. can this be removed? also is it possible to make it to where you can purchase the roads so a driveway can be completely paintable

Great map! Need some advice. Starting up the map the second time, after a few minutes my tractors just start driving in circles by themselves and my FPS drops significantly then I receive an error that shows - "Error : Running LUA method 'update' : attempt to index a nil value. Please help me with this, I really enjoy playing on this map
Dan

@Moltofill I have tried it without any mods, but still the same error.
Dan

@The Great Lebowski thank you very much. I will try it. The error shows that its something to do with field manager. ( LUA 541 attempt to index a nil value). The map is really great but my tractors just keep on driving in circles. If you'd like I can send you an email of the exact code its showing? If its ok with you?

Where can I find 2.0.1.2? I cannot find it here on mod network at all.
Also, is there a more appropriate social media page for you, Mr Lebowski? I'd very much like to follow this map, it's amazing!
