Welcome to Nebraska Lands USA 22...
------------------------------------------
Nebraska Lands USA is back for FS22, this time a full featured 16x map with accurately scaled file sizes (many 16x maps
use 4x map size map weight, gdm and grle files, causing poor performance) This version of Nebraska Lands USA is squarely
aimed at MP users, although SP can enjoy it equally well...
___________________________________________
Welcome to the heartland of the USA...
Located in the midwest, the land is flat and stretches for miles in all directions... there is rich farmland here and land
is cheap... Now you can journey to this area and enjoy the farming experience for yourself. You begin with adequate
equipment, but to work well and be successful, you must become profitable and expand. There is no sugarcane on this map...
it is not available as a crop type and will not be available to plant... this is for realism as sugarcane cannot grow here,
this far to the north. Also, there is no sheep farm provided, as sheep are not really a thing in this local area... however,
if you want to raise sheep, you can always use a placeable pen.
All of your farming supplies, such as fertilizer and seeds, must be bought at the various sellpoints (no seed or fertilizer
triggers at the farms) Fuel storage is available on the farms, but mus be filled before use. For those that prefer to
fertilize using anhydrous ammonia there is a dedicated sell point at the liquid fertilizer sell point. As premiered in
Emerald Coast USA 2019, in this map, anhydrous is a specific fill type, not the usual "liquidFertilizer" pretending to be
anhydrous... this means you need specialized equipment to use and apply the anhydrous to your fields, where once applied,
it will function as normal fertilizer.
You, the farmer, are new in town... hoping to make a good start... A good friend of yours allows you to use his buildings
in town as a contractor's staging area so you can store some equipment. It has a small A-Frame on the lot, for you to stay
in and rest. Your friend encourages you to take contracts around the area locally until you are back on your feet and
can work out a game plan. If you start in "New Farmer" mode (the recommended start mode) you are then "gifted" some stuff
from the local Case dealer, who is hoping to get in on your next "rise to fame". If starting in another mode, you're on
your own... sorry. To make money at the start, there are many routes to take... you can save up by doing contracts and
buy a production facility, or some different equipment, or some land. There are many lots around that you can buy to set
up your own production or even just to have storage space for your stuff. Some are pristine, already paved and ready.
Others may need to be mowed a bit, some are in bad shape, needing debris removed and cleared off before moving in. There
are many nice homes located around the area for when you are tired of living in the A-Frame. To get rich quick, there
are collectibles to be found... there are some nice, collectible Case toys, 25 in all, that you can search out and collect,
which will net you at least a million bucks... also, there are 2 huge, gold nuggets to be found which have a reward of a
cool million each upon you finding them. You could easily be a millionare! So, you are here now, in Nebraska Lands, can
you become a renowned, master farmer once again and regain your former fame?
New for FS 22 in this map are my American trains, with working signal lights, scripts courtesy of GtX... brought forward
from my FS 2019 maps. The trains are not drivable, they run on a schedule and the signals change as the trains pass each
time. There are also a couple of aircraft which function the same way... high-flying airliners on their way to a distant
airport.
This map features custom cut corn textures (courtesy of AW Modding) for a much more realistic appearance during harvest.
Also, this map uses the lighting configuration ReLight (by Suchsneak) for better looking visuals and shadows. There are
custom sounds as well, and custom ground paint textures and foliage. The map features multi-terrain angle with 32 angles
rather than the game default of 8... this provides much better realism in appearance of plowed and cultivated fields, and
unlike higher numbers of angles, will be the best balance between realism detail in the furrows and AI performance.
The majority of the land on the map is buyable (not all of it, cause this is, after all, the real world, you cannot just
buy a whole county or town... lol) with lots in town, both residential and commercial, as well as lots and fields in the
country.
All of the buyable farms are built out from the start in any game mode, also for realism, but, once purchased, you can
sell or keep all of the buildings, silos and decorative objects. You want to change something, go ahead! Some of the
sellable objects may not be purchased again due to custom terrain conformation. Additionally, in some cases, you may
actually have to "pay" to remove the item, for example, an old, run down barn that is worth nothing, or maybe an old,
dead tree that is too large to cut with a chain saw.
Also, each farm house on the map is on its own separate lot... you are not forced to buy a house along with the farm. So
you can live anywhere you want!
All of the individual bins are set to hold one crop only (as IRL you would not dump all your different grains into one bin)
BIG shout out to Giants for putting this feature into the default game... before, we always needed scripted bins to
accomplish this.
This map includes a custom growth calendar (courtesy of gmngjoy) to better simulate the growing season of this area, (the
growth calendar is based directly off the custom GEO made by realloger for the Seasons ready 2019 map) and the environment
has been tweaked to better simulate the local weather.
The map is Precision Farming ready, and includes a custom precision farming soilmap to simulate the fertile soils we enjoy
here, along with the higher clay content in some areas.
The map has 22 production points scattered around the area, with plenty of room to build out more if you desire. Anhydrous,
propane, dry-maize, dry-soybean, pre-compost and compost are all added in fill-types so nothing extra is required to enjoy
the extra productions these will drive. A modded Precision Farming will be needed however, in order to monitor and track
anhydrous usage when applying it to the map.
• In "New Farmer" mode you start with some equipment (gifted to you by the local Case dealer) some money and the best wishes
of the folks in the community. If you start in the harder modes, you get nothing but some money so work wisely...
• New vehicles purchased in this map will have proper Nebraska tags for the vehicles, if you choose to have the plate on them.
Nebraska does require tags on trailers and farm equipment, they are used on front and back as in many other states.
• You can get free water at one of the small ponds on the map, many of these feature frogs in spring and early summer.
There are no magic seed and fertilizer sellpoint triggers on the farms, you must buy these at local sellpoints in various
locations. There are diesel storage tanks on most of the farms and you can call in fuel deliveries for a small fee.
• There are many locations to purchase the supplies you will need, Tri-County Fertilizer Sales, located in town, will sell
you bulk fertilizer. Central Valley Ag, located down close to the traintracks, will sell you liquid fertilizer and any
herbicide you may need, as well they will fill your orders for any anhydrous you need. For propane in bulk, stop by Amerigas
down by the train tracks, just south of the Case IH dealer, where they will take care of your needs. If you are in need of
bulk pigfood, Green Plains Biofuels, next to Amerigas, can take care of you. If, for some reason, you need manure or slurry,
the animal dealer will happily sell you whatever you need, at dirt cheap prices.
• There are two typical filling stations for you to buy fuel, Phillips 66 in town and down at the truck stop near I-80. At
both of these locations, pricing on the signage and the pumps is matched to what it sells for IRL here... (of course,
as fuel prices fluctuate up and down daily, the prices will not reflect the EXACT price at a specific day/time of the year)
and, the price you are charged in the game will be the same as what is displayed on the signage.
• There are many points on the map to sell your produce (or production outputs) scattered around... Central Valley Ag,
Green Plains Bio-Fuels and the flour and oil mills will take certain grains you have to sell... Midwest AG Crop Sales
will accept your root crops... the log sell by the train tracks will take your cut logs... Nebraska Produce will accept
your vegetables and fresh production items and Farmers Compost will accept your compost (you can buy the compost portion
to engage in compost bagging, a custom production process, and sell the bags) Midwest Shipping will accept a variety of
production items, including many from the new DLC. Wholesale Furniture Outlet will accept most production items as well,
rounding out the sellpoints on the map. The spinnery accepts cotton and wool as normal, unless bought as a production
facility. Bales may be sold at the animal dealer. Metal Recyclers will accept iron ore.
• The equipment dealer, the grain sellpoints, the rootcrop and other sellpoints and the animal dealer all have regular
business hours (posted on the office door, etc) and open at 7:00 AM or 8:00 AM and close at 6:00 PM or 8:00 PM every day.
There is no entry into these areas before or after their regular business hours.
• There is an additional custom production on this map, a pre-compost grinder, which accepts various inputs (along with
diesel and water) and produces pre-compost. This better simulates the compost production which occurs in this area IRL.
The pre-compost is then carried to a bunker, where it is spread, compacted, covered and fermented similar to silage.
Once complete, the finished compost can be sold or if the bagging production is owned, can be sold as bagged for even
more money.
• Another custom production featured on this map is a corn/soybean dryer... you provide bulk propane to power the dryer
and then dump in either corn or soybeans and the dryer will dry them for you. You can sell the dried grains to the
Emerald Shores Feeds facility. If you do not want to deal with drying grain, you can still sell the normal corn and
soybeans to the other grain facilities on the map.
• The productions which are preplaced on the map will function as normal sellpoints (competing for prices) if you do not
purchase them, so if production is not your thing, no worries.
To use this map, unzip the NL22_UNZIPME file and place the included files into your mod folder and remember to activate
them before beginning the first savegame. THE MAP WILL NOT LOAD UNLESS THE INCLUDED NL_ModPack.zip IS IN THE MOD FOLDER
AND ACTIVATED.
Disclaimer: this is a highly detailed map, using many different scenery objects and several custom textures to achieve
visual realism, and as such will require a strong, high spec PC to run well... especially if you have lots of mods on the
farm. The only solution to this issue is to not use as many mods and/or turn the settings down. Additionally, to avoid
unforseen issues and conflicts, please have ONLY this map in the mod folder as having multiple maps in the folder will
cause issues as the game loads all the scripts from all the maps, including the active one... Additioally, the map.zip
file is much larger than a traditional 4x as this map is the same high level of detail, but 4 times larger. FTP MP
servers will be required...
There will be no "mod requests" or custom changes to the map for individual users. However, any things you don't like or
would like to be improved will have to be for your own private editions. It is absolutely NOT ALLOWED to edit and upload
ANYWHERE without my express permission...
Happy farming!
