Another great review here! Finally, a 4x map with the correct size fruit_density, cultivator_density and terrainHeight_density files in it, although the tipCol, farmland and info layer files are still the 2x sizes... So, kudos for getting it mostly right... Yep, looks like the default bunker triggers, not scaled, resized or anything... a big fail... That, and other issues like the GIANT fire hydrants and the strange traffic, show that a bit more care is needed when preparing a map... Dairy looks a bit strange with grain silos sticking out of the roof... lol Sadly, though, realistic decorative details are missing on many maps. One thing that looks as if it may have been done right, when so many others fail, is the multi fruit... on a properly prepared map with multi fruit, NO other mods are required... the xml defines the "fruitTypeCategories" for each fruit, which determines what type of header or cutter will handle it... same for windrows and seeding. Thanks to Giants for implementing this in the 2017 version of the game, as in earlier versions, multifruits were a huge pain, and required all sorts of custom mods. I love the layout and design of the map overall... There is, however, a floater at 35:41, looks to be a mailbox or somesuch... All in all, an interesting map... Nice video and good job reviewing everything!
Hi FK, did you take a look at this map again since this review? seems that it is now on V1.2.2.0 and I was hoping that some of the issues were fixed. also they seem to have added a whole bunch of new and unique production functionality.
That is my impression of a LOT of 4x and larger maps to, things are just bigger, like they are just trying to fill a bigger space, huge empty parking lots, excess use of space for sellpoints etc., it would look a lot better if it was only the fields and farm plots being bigger.

No i have not.
Giant hydrants for giants employees
At 8:12 there seems to be icons for some of the multi-types on the header. Maybe they can be harvested by in game headers/machines on this map?
Ya some of the additional crops are covered by those.
How do you save in this map?
Bunkers are a bit scary I must agree
Thanks for the review. The video seemed laggy . Is that a map issue? Cuz I was thinking of trying it out but not if their is a lag issue.
An observation; These maps generally seem ... lonely. The author should and could include people on a larger scale.
And parked vehicles.
