[@davidclarke8258]

I'm glad you have the same swathe issue, I thought it was my PC. Great video

[@Scroft]

I think it's everyone. It hopefully will get fixed soon 👍

[@andrewrh2628]

Great start to this series, the map looks fantastic, better than before as if that was possible. Sheds look amazing. Lets hope it it sails through testing.

[@skinnmann9022]

great episode Scroft, as always I have enjoyed the video so much it felt like time stood still for 40mins

[@davidvanmol5199]

Love the map and love the buildings from Nathan. 👌 The new farm yard you’ve made looks awesome. Great job.

[@roguereaper1330]

Favorite thing about your videos, you are always introducing new music to add to my playlists! Thanks for that!

[@gunnerzz1008]

Looks great, very jealous of the new layout.

[@J1mmySim]

Amazing work Scroft! I love what you have managed to do with the farm!

[@BigBoiCymru6]

Cracking job with the testing mate. Looking forward to this one. Well done to oxy too. Thumbnail is on point too mate 👌

[@mpatman]

My favourite 22 map and can’t wait to play this. Really jelly of those farm upgrades . The new sheds look great.

[@8STU10]

Cracking stuff this Scroft as always. Can’t wait to watch the rest! 2 months in and still no patches for animals, not even any comms on it. Shocking really. I understand that games need patches at the beginning to get fixes sorted, but on the release of a new game they’re usually prioritised and done quickly. Giants really seem to have been super slow off the mark here which is a real shame… they haven’t even done some decent communication to players who have spent full price on a game that has so many issues at release. Just hoping they aren’t spreading themselves too thin with the development of this new sim racing title.

[@JustMyFish]

I don't have any problems with animals, whatever these problems are they don't affect everyone so harder to pinpoint. But I don't think Giants have been slow off the mark they have been on a brake, and they are intituled to one like everyone ells.

[@8STU10]

@ So your animals are grazing in the pastures and working just fine? Interesting. They haven’t been on a break for 2 months and to be honest, a lot of things that aren’t working properly yet, should have been picked and tested before release! The game came out in November and there are still lots of issues. I want to love this game, they’re just making it very hard with this iteration.

[@Chris_Restall]

Crop Rotation and Grass Drying over time like Silage Bales… Like SeasonS in FS19…

[@jtphog9711]

In the US we call hail the white combine. It will destroy whole fields at times. In my experience it’s been mostly small grains that take the biggest hit from a hailstorm. Doesn’t happen but every few years where I’m located in the central plains, but the northern great plains deal with hailstorms multiple times a summer

[@JimKayaker]

Interesting, now I think about it, I have seen much bigger hailstones abroad than in the UK, maybe we are just lucky to get minimal hail damage here?

[@jtphog9711]

@@JimKayaker more than likely that is the case! Even smaller (pea sized) hailstones here will destroy a crop if it comes down fast enough. I’ve seen hailstones cover the ground and look like snow here.

[@brianfeuillet3943]

Great to see this map in action.

[@Scroft]

Thanks buddy, I really appreciate the support!

[@haplowizard2743]

Loving the map love the work ❤ just a heads up the wrapper won’t take the biggest bales. Ah ah sorry put this comment before the end. lol😊

[@DancerOfClouds]

Oh my gosh, Scroft, this warms my heart. The perfect map gets a real role play. NATHAN you are a legend, there is no way I could do what you did Scrofty. FS25 has a lot of quirks for sure. When placing dynamic pastures. Plant a grass field first and have it well established. Then place the dynamic pasture but DO NOT have it plant a meadow (leave the one you have) The livestock will consume the meadow grass; however, to have it regrow, just deliver a load of grass to the pasture feed bin and the meadow grass will grow instantly.

[@beyondnow1600]

​@WS_Farming Well, as far as I'm concerned, the world would be a better and more wholesome place if people were more like @DancerOfClouds

[@WS_Farming]

@@beyondnow1600your comment warms my heart

[@beyondnow1600]

@@WS_Farming 😀

[@jean-marclamotte5082]

To be bit more realistic, when you cut a grass field/pasture, you should at the end cut the perimeter anti-clockwise and you would probably get an extra bale. That's usually as it is done in Belgium, at least when my Dad had farm a few decades ago :-)

[@GH_agri]

The section of the bale shed with a roller shutter door on it is actually a spray shed which is used to store the sprayer as if it leaks it would go into a tank underneath the building and also the shed would be insulated to prevent frost damaging the sprayer in cold weather , but can’t wait to see this series unfold Scroft looking forward to it keep up the good work

[@That_Guy_Grizz]

5:12 call it more like a berm...which is a raised bank or raised embankment.

[@BlackPete...]

@@That_Guy_Grizz or a Bund.

[@That_Guy_Grizz]

@BlackPete... true, never heard that term before as usually a berm is more associated with a Waterway or canal

[@memenationalcentre]

any berm enthusiasts here to confirm this? 🤓

[@Markmckwn]

It's definitely a berm.. I do mountain biking and wee have them on the trails.. a raised bank/embankment.

[@FightinFarmer]

Yeah it's a berm

[@Rdlprmpf12]

About the autoloading: I really don't like to do the "proper" loading, it's just not fun for me. Maybe the rule I use for myself could work for you, too: I must bring a suitable loading tool to the location where I load pallets, bales or logs. Then I use autoload or super strength to do the work. I think that's a viable compromise between "The trailer gets loaded by pure magic." and "I sit there for an hour or two doing something I don't enjoy at all."

[@haddonwilkes1198]

I’ve seen the flickering when I’v been plowing,and I seen it when looking in the distance as well.

[@knightryder6068]

I myself would call it a berm or a bank. But that's just me. Well done on the edit, mate!

[@Scroft]

I think you're right Beanie thought maybe a dyke but after some googling it seems like a berm on a much bigger scale. Thanks buddy!

[@FarmerkingGeorge]

When i get the ps5 i can't wait to play calmsden i will make georges farm so i can work there

[@jorenhoitink5485]

I do understand your point on the hail, in irl if the graincrops are almost ripe it can do a lot off damage to ur yield but it has to be rather ripe. So i would say it should only do damage in the ready to harvest state

[@Scroft]

That is a good shout but its still nice they added it in for the realism! Thanks for watching!

[@JimKayaker]

I've seen hail damage in my garden where it punched holes in leaves which depending on when in the season it happens can affect growth, but I just don't think the way it is represented in game (wiping out whole patches of a field) is realistic, it would just knock a few % off the harvestable amount over the whole field and is probably worse on things like spinach and brassicas where the leaf is the crop.

[@Scroft]

@JimKayaker I know in other climates they get huge hail, and it does damage crops, but in the UK it's much less extreme. I do applaud Giants for adding it, and if they went further, like adding pest damage and flooding damage, then it would be great. I also like the option to change it to visual only for maps set in climates where it doesn't often cause damage

[@thom7557]

Indeed. Let's go!

[@Scroft]

🎉🎉🎉

[@Massey-Lee]

Fs25 has been. A right let down

[@incubatork]

I watched a video yesterday on how to get rid of the draw distance circle, he upped the draw distance to the max(200%) in game menu then edited the game.xml and changed the draw distance()from 2.0000 to 5.0000, it did not change in the menu from 200% but it completely got rid of the circle cutting, might be worth a try.

[@Scroft]

Thanks buddy. I've got that on in game but it's not making a big difference especially compared to doing the same in FS22. So I think the problems to do with one of the Coeff's

[@JimKayaker]

@@Scroft My gut feeling is that this about how the LODs for swaths are configured, you might have more luck tweaking the LOD distances, but I think there will be limits to how much the settings let you stretch the devs intention. Bauer Brown did a reasonable video explaining LODs in FS22/GE9. I do wonder if it means the way is actually open for a "better swaths" mod if someone can figure out how to do swath models and include more LODs to reduce the pop effect? LODs are different models with progressively less detail (ultimately can go to 2D) and the modder/dev can set what distance from the player to switch models. The 'draw distance' I think is where you just don't load the object at all, so increasing it just means you see the lowest quality LOD from further away, but it probably scales all the distances, I'm not sure, it would need investigation.

[@Azzyos]

Can't wait for this awesome map

[@Scroft]

Hopefully not much longer now!

[@Mulch_Mods]

Fantastic Scroft, it's all coming together! Good work on the modding it goes straight over my head 😂 Looking forward to the series. Time to stop faffing about haha

[@Kalderone_FS22]

Great map, I remember it was with it that I started playing FS22) I hope to start playing FS25 with it fully

[@Scroft]

I agree buddy, Oxy has made a brilliant map and fingers crossed not too much longer now!

[@JustMyFish]

The way I see it is we are now in FS-0.3 because this is the 3rd manger update to the engine its acutely a massive update ground deformation dynamic in game and driver assist/GPS, sun beams soft shadows virtual NPCs, NPC driver awareness new crops new animals 2 new very good maps the list goes on but it's too much it talk about here this is coming from someone that was sceptical and wouldn't normally buy a game on preorder has it was at the time, but it was £18 for me so yep, its wroth 3 times that. I have no real complaints, so I'm impressed.

[@Scroft]

The game looks stunning. Some fine tuning and some more patches and it will be running smooth 👍 For the 1000s of hours I'll get playing it. It's worth the money

[@MichaelSmith-lb4kv]

Great video Scroft thx. The problems which you talked about on 25, and there are a lot are true, the base game maps are not really the best, and all know that, that is why I’ve gone back to 22 till things get sorted and the modders take control again. Plus Giants robbed us console players of slot count. Definitely not the best what they have done, base game stuff which we had previously is now used to fill our not so much storage space on console. Looking forward to your game play. Greetings from me in Germany 🇩🇪

[@life-longpatriot8258]

@Scroft, I put in a report on the manure silo and silo extensions disconnecting from the cow sheds and pigsty's many weeks ago, and just before Christmas, I got a status update that the problem has been resolved. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next update. Cheers!

[@bridgeyryan]

Its interesting that the mower bounces around a lot on Calmsden too. Ive seen some content creators saying its causing issues for them.

[@Aerhgad1]

We call that verge a bund wall where I am. Probably many names for it around the world.

[@eviltum5654]

i call it a bank, cause its basically raised soil it saves putting a fence

[@TheSheriff83]

The wash bay I think is intended to be the sprayer shed/ chemical store

[@Orsa1305]

Awesome what you have done, i like it. besides that, for me it is the same as with the farmhand, when you change the map withing GEdit i loose interest into it. But it looks awesome. i always want to play alongside the content creator and, for now, this is not posible.

[@Scroft]

The sheds will be placable objects so you can follow along. You might have to replace one of the sheds for another one. But most of the stuff can be done in game. It's just anything I make like the real life farm sign I've made from a picture I took when I went to Calmsden

[@JeremyKonzJames]

I guess you don't get too much major hail over in the UK but wheat farmers over here can lose whole fields due to hail damage. It can beat the plant down to the ground. Even smaller hail can have a significant impact. You should watch some of the Welker Farms videos when they get hail just to see what damage it can do.

[@flxjhnlrssn]

Not sure if it's common with hail specifically or just heavy rain, but damage from that sort of thing is definitely a thing over there as well.

[@Scroft]

We get a lot of rain damage, but more from flooding and then damage to the field bed. The heavy rain forms a solid pan and the the drainage on the field is gone really. So standing water forms. Farmers break up the field in autumn after harvest to break the pans. But hail damage is rare in the UK. I live in the peaks and get more hail than most and it's rarely large hail. Just annoying when it falls on your head lol

[@rhubarb130]

The shed on the end of the bale shed is for a sprayer. Sprays should be stored with a bund to catch any spils and normal heated to stop freezing

[@MikeSmith-et2gd]

i get that swath popping to mate, max settings (4090)gfx and its a bit hard on the eyes...defo a giants thing...

[@oliverwilkinson5773]

Also be cool if there was a cow shed you have yo scrape muk down a drain slits and it goes into 2 silos that seps liquid and solid

[@WS_Farming]

MS modding large uk cow shed mod from fs22 has already been converted to 25 I think it’s in testing right now

[@Sasa_65]

Maybe you can also use the real equipment of the farm. I love the series

[@Blackmere65]

@35:00 The Anderson Hybrid X Xtractor put the bales into a tube instead of doing single bales.

[@2eZyLive]

I'd like the sheds to be shared if we could offer a donation to the modders. Wee get to follow along with you and the Modders get paid

[@CMoDZ3D]

Hear me out. Imagine a scroft map 👀

[@CraigyFarm]

Why giants didn’t have windows and doors open in all base game tractors as standard is so disappointing. Thanks for the vid 😊

[@Grandad525]

Dont they call the bank a berm or burm? Ive always wanted to open up that arable area.

[@keggarino]

Awesome!

[@Scroft]

Thank you!

[@markfotheringham5154]

Hi scroft, I’ve noticed there ain’t any cattle grids at any gates within farms or at field entrances maybe that’s a mod u can do?

[@jonathanmaybury5698]

The main trouble with the FS 25 is when you trying to play the game you keep running into little things like that and it is easy to get that annoyed that you stopped playing the game. We need a massive update for FS 25. One that puts things right and not covers things up.

[@gibb0610]

Regarding the fields that's missing boundaries and preventing the use of GPS, is it perhaps possible to use Courseplay and do a custom field and then use GPS on that? I haven't bought FS25 yet (lack of new gameplay kinda destroyed my eagerness) so I can't try it myself, but it would be a neater alternative to plow and sow a field.

[@anymouse69420]

Waited on this good stuff scroft

[@StefanRijkee]

Map on which I’ve had most fun on in FS22 !! So close to reality !! Would be awesome if Oxy could make a version 2.0 with to actual buildings in 2025.

[@alpacino4899]

one thing they have to fix is the crashing of FS25 on xbox you can't use the shop at all its completely unplayable and as a first time player to FS its not good of a look. I enjoy it but can't fully play relax and actually enjoy it if I'm having to reopen the game every time I want to purchase something from the shop/vehicle workshop, its been like this since the last update 1.4 release..

Scroft you can make manure but it only works wgmhen you place the manure silo extension not the manure silo. Trust me iv dine so much testing and iv over 2000 cows now and own bio mass. Obviously need manure for bio. Place a manure silo extension and tell me it doesn't work 😂 i wnt them to fix the grass roller.

[@thomasstanfield3725]

Think the work your looking for is a Bund

[@Ezelaloez]

From what little they have communicated, Giants have more than 1400 mods, so I don't think this map will be very soon, since they are missing the tests and with the amount of mods that there are, it will take a long time and when they publish they only upload 4 or 6 mods and the game itself right now has many flaws in the wood and the terrain, which is a pity.
