I've been using this map for a few months and I felt it was about time to let you know this is my all time favourite modded farm! Forest farm has always been my favourite but the lack of space always forced me into building the same way every time, now thanks to you I can be a bit more creative. I don't think I'll ever find a modded farm that I enjoy as much as this one, it's perfect!
Thanks for the mod! The forest farm is my favourite, but the many ponds interfere with farm decorating and planning. I don't do min-maxing or industrialized farms, so I don't care if this map has a bit too much potential.
i really like what you've done with the map! tho i am quite intrigued by the idea of this, but slightly more 'nerfed' as you mentioned in the description. were you thinking of adding back a pond somewhere in the middle? either way, i love how the map feels even more surrounded by the forest.
Thank you so much for the comment! Making it feel more wooded was exactly my goal! <3
And for the nerf, I was thinking several things: 1) slightly fewer hardwood stumps (say, 6 instead of 8), 2) regular crummy farm fishing, and 3) somewhat tighter borders with the grass. Regarding adding in more ponds, in part I think of only having one pond (in an awkward location) as a slight challenge in-and-of itself, as it (hopefully) encourages getting a well. But also, I just hate how ponds seem to push the farm to be somewhat discontinuous. If more people ask for it back though, I could add it.
(I also have plans for making an additional variation by adding in something I think could be pretty cool, but we'll see how that goes) ;-)
I just downloaded this map but visually I think having the grass from the pond extend more towards the center of the dirt area like a growth spurt could help nerf the farming area a bit while keeping everything organized in an L shape and more space to grow trees or put beehives near the center of the map. In fact would be lovely if there was just a small spot of tillable dirt in the center of that grass area, like a ring.
