PMC Minnesota Lowry 8km Development

[M1keOG]

Here to help as well if anything you need done, made a few maps and converted/extended a few to a 8km so I do have the experience. I am just currently converting one map waiting to finish it to showcase to the author to get the permission to release it at the moment, but thats the old flint hills one.

Placing farm yard objects is the biggest workload now, well objects in general including trees.

Are you comfortable creating farm yards on top of satellite imagery?

I can do that, I would also use the street view, where possible for proper spacing. Assuming that fs19 has the type of buildings that we plan on slapping on there. I still got the latest version from 19 installed giants editor wise.

Millennial Farms Shed Pack, Midwest Machinery Dealership and Millennial Farmhouse. Just tested these mods from giants modhub, they are without errors or any issues I could see in-game (well the farmhouse is elevated a bit ugly but I can live with that).

Added info and links to bottom of farming-simulator.org/19/mods page.

Ah, they look very nice!

I've downloaded these buildings and ready to go. (Small edit I can't seem to edit my post so)

Added zoomed in millenial farmer google/maps link for the farm yard, seems like people are looking for that location often times, now its listed in PMC Minnesota Lowry 8km homepage.

Hoping this project wasn’t abandoned! Hyped for the release of this map and was a little curious as to if the project was still active or not. I don’t mean to push you guys at all, please take as much time as you need to make a good map the way you see fit. Thanks

PMC Minnesota Lowry 8km is active and under development, just haven't been able to put in any edits since mentioned in the posts above. I know that one week of hard work in giants editor would get this terrain close to first release, now how to muster that energy somehow its whole another matter

[Mobius1]

I see! We’ll keep up the good work! Me and my buddies are real excited for its release!!!!! Also for Zack Johnson’s farm areas. Did you take any inspirations from the 1X version of the map? Also will his farm be the 2020 spec or the newer 2024 spec with the new grain bins and sheds? Super stoked either way! If you need a play tester lmk!!

[Snake Man]

Please Use Actual Size (terrains).

I don't take anything from the fictional terrain that is labeled "millennial farmer map", its done so badly its not even funny.

PMC Minnesota Lowry 8km terrain source files were created back in 2019. If you have some new information about changes in real life areas since that please let me know.

[Mobius1]

Noted, about the changes: sometime around last year or the year before his farm was hit by a heavy storm that destroyed one of the grain bins in his silos and also the equipment shed that was next to his toy shed (the one with the dirt floor) and around last year he replaced them with both a larger silo and a larger, new shed that also has a dirt floor. If you would like me to provide links to the sheds under construction and completion so you can have a better idea on what they look like I’d be happy too. But of course you can keep it the way you already have it either way is fine by me.

[Snake Man]

Those links would be really nice, I'd like to check them out.

As said this terrain was created in 2019, the original source files and cultivator_density painted in GIMP, so while years have passed now not sure if I want to re-create it with latest source data, sure some small changes can be made like one farm yard two buildings is nothing, but to go through the whole 8.1km x 8.1km area is whole another thing. Its not even easy or possible to quickly compare 2019 and 2024 source satellite imagery to see what has changed in such a large area.

BTW did you try out PMC Iowa Garden City 8km which just recently got released?

[Mobius1]

I’m currently in the process of downloading the new Iowa map! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to play until today so I haven’t gotten a chance too yet. In reference to the 8.1km Lowry Minnesota map. The only changes I was mentioning were the two farm adjustments here: https://youtu.be/rHSQhQWi14o?si=azJWfx-3Qz9B5XsQ
And the silo here: https://youtu.be/OIwkPrabGzA?si=qPb7VqZ008eACwL5. It’s hard to remember which video specifically he said the stats of the buildings as he’s spoken about them over multiple videos so I apologize if it’s not in either of them. Also yeah I understand it would be extremely difficult to redo the map data I was just talking specifically about the two sheds in the farm area .

[Mobius1]

Also, I don’t mean to sound demanding or anything, but over the next couple months after the release of the fs19 version will there be a 22 version? I only ask this simply because of the recent mods in fs22 and also the smarter courseplay system as well. (Sorry for multi post)

[Snake Man]

Thanks for those video links, yeah looks like its a simple vehicle shed next to another, same for the grain bin, yeah that is no problem to add into terrain project especially as nothing has been placed yet. I thought its more changes than that, like major overhaul.

Should be no problem making fs22 version once fs19 has been made playable and released first.

[Mobius1]

I cannot wait for either!!!!! But as said before please take all the time you need to make a good map, thanks!
