Welcome to Nebraska Lands USA, a full featured 4x map with accurately scaled file sizes (many
4x maps use the standard game size map weight, gdm and grle files, causing poor performance) and
full Seasons compatibility... a seasonsmask has been added to the map and all placeables have
been edited to work with Seasons as well... foliage layers will change colors according to the
season and the small water runoff ponds will freeze over if the ground temps are below freezing,
and folks in town will have to light their fireplaces...

The map also incorporates Multi Terrain Angle for visual realism when working fields, also it
includes custom foliage, crop and terrain textures and custom lighting as well (although running
with Seasons will override the map's custom lighting in favor of Seasons own lighting)

NEW in this map, the individual GSI bin and the individual Brock bin use the new script
from GtX to allow any grain crop to be stored in the bin, unlike before, when only one grain
type was allowed.  Due to the new script, ONLY one grain may be stored at a time, to switch to
a different grain, all of the first grain must be removed first, as in real life.  Standing in
front of the output auger will cause info to appear in the F1 menu, showing the graintype that
is currently in the bin, as well as the amount of that grain and the percentage full.

Also NEW in this map, never before seen in FS 2019, is true dynamic mud... there are places, such
as the water puddles around the map, where it is always muddy... however, in other places, after
a rain (and during) the ground will become muddy... this mod really comes to life when running
Seasons, as it responds to the moisture levels in the ground, more moisture equals more mud.

This map incorporates baleable corn stalks (baleable beanstalks not added)... when harvesting your
corn with a combine, you may switch on the windrow, which will lay down a corn stalks swath.  This
may be either baled up for cattle bedding or to sell, or may be collected with a loading wagon
to use at the Razwood Factory to make pre-compost.

This map embraces the many new features of the 2019 game, much of the land is buyable, including
all the field areas as well as several wooded or empty lots around the map, even a few empty lots
in town in the business district. There are transport missions, hauling pallets of stuff from one
place to another, also field missions on most of the fields. There is no log sell point on the map
as forestry is not a thing in this area, also, no massive forests here unless you want to plant
your own.  If running Seasons, there are snow missions available in winter, clearing portions of
the roadways and parts of the dairy area.

This version of the map also includes configuration for the Precision Farming DLC... a custom soil
map is built in simulating real life soil conditions in this area... also, configuration info is
built in for the additional fruit type of alfalfa...


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 no matter what GEO is used... 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, with a small
amount to get you started, for more, use the universal pack fuel trailer to refill from town. 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, 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.

The animal pens are pre-configured to use the GtX Animal Pen Extension mod... if you have this mod
in your folder and active at game start, the animal pens will have custom water valves and spouts
already set up and ready to use.  Additionally, the cattle pen and the pig pen are set up to have
compatibility with the Manure Mod, although this mod is not required... they will work just fine
without the mod as well.

There is plenty of work here, so enjoy farming in Nebraska Lands, USA!


• you start the game at a friend's home in the small town, with only his wife's custom truck to
  drive around, take GOOD care of it... in "New Farmer" mode you have some nice equipment, a gift
  to get you going, although you own no land or farms... in the two hard modes, you get nothing
  but some money... but, land is cheap here and there are lots of opportunities to pick up some
  contracts to do... work wisely...

• Get water at the town water tower for a small fee, Tri-County Fertilizer sellpoint has bulk
  fertilizer for sale, and, for those production fans, they will buy excess fertilizer from you as
  well... The Garden Center has herbicide available... and they accept wool and compost. Fuel is
  available at the Phillips 66 station in town... Bulk seeds can be purchased at Pioneer Seeds, next
  to the Garden Center... Over at Millenium Feed you can purchase premixed pigfood... and there is
  a local farmer north of town who is always willing to buy whatever pigfood you want to sell. The
  animal dealer always has more manure and slurry than they would like, you can get either there
  very cheap... Another local farmer west of town will sell you bulk corn, oats or wheat at a cheap
  price...

• There is custom traffic on this map, edited for faster speed without tinkering with the game itself
  and messing up other maps... definitely do not pull out in front of them! The traffic will make
  randomized choices at some intersections and even stop. Also, several vehicles are parked at various
  locations (during the work day) and leave at night.  Also there are custom trains... this map also
  features GtX's great train script, which allows multiple trains to run on the same tracks at various
  times of the day... additionally, the train signal lights change from green to red and back again
  depending on the movement of the passing trains... And, look carefully, at different times you may
  even spot a jumbo jet flying east or west high in the sky, with visible contrails...

• The dealer repair bay and lobby, the granary sellpoints, the fertilizer, lime, seed and anhydrous
  sellpoints and the garden center, the dairy and the rootcrop sellpoints all have timed barriers
  which open at either 7:00 AM or 8:00 AM and close at either 6:00 PM or 9:00 PM... no entry is
  permitted into these triggers before or after hours, the hours are posted at each facility...

• The Harvestor and Cement silos function again as fermenting silos, now using the great script by GtX...
  Ensure to have the all included (updated) mods in the folder and active when first starting your
  gameplay... the silos take grass, alfalfa and chaff and will slowly convert these to silage.

• Two of the bunker silos are modified to produce compost rather than silage, the fermenting time and
  compacting processes are the same... The land must be purchased before using them, as well as the
  BGA facility and woodchip sellpoint. They take precompost, which is produced at the Razwood Factory
  south and west of town, which accepts various inputs (listed on the screen at the factory) to make
  the precompost for the bunkers.

• There are two of GtX's fantastic underground storage bunkers located at the pigfarm... they hold the
  rootcrops or woodchips... also using his great script, they will hold only one fruit at a time, to
  put a different fruit in there, first the original must be emptied out... stand by the front to have
  info pop up into F1 showing fruittype and amount currently stored in there.

• There is also a corn dryer silo system, premiered on South Island Farm, integrated into the main silo
  system at the arable farm... also using GtX's great script.  You can buy pallets of propane to fuel the
  dryer, then dump in your corn and it will dry it for you... sell at the Middle America Granary.  If you
  do not want to mess with drying your corn, you may sell the regular corn directly at the granary as usual.
  There is also a bulk propane purchase point at the compost sell yard, for use with trailers modded to
  accept the filltype "propane".


There are several sellpoints to sell stuff:

• Middle America Granary - wheat / barley / canola / corn / sunflower / soybean / oat / dryCorn

• Wacoville COOP - wheat / barley / corn / oat /dryCorn

• AG Grains, Inc - canola / sunflower / soybean

• Garden Center - wool / compost (will sell you herbicide and bulk propane as well)

• Biomass Plant - woodchips / biobales (located at the BGA)

• Sugarbeets -R- Us - sugarBeet (will sell you bulk sugarbeets as well)

• Potato Sorters - potato


Also, there is a cotton bale drop off point just south of the RR crossing, to sell your bales... Regular
straw, hay or cornstalk bales may be sold at the animal dealer, at the side of the office...


To use this map, unzip the NLV2_UNZIPME file and place ALL of the included files into your mod folder and
remember to activate them for proper functioning of the map... THE MAP WILL THROW NUMEROUS ERRORS IF ALL
MODS ARE NOT IN THE FOLDER AND ACTIVE AT FIRST GAME... the only included mods not required are the augers,
but, they are quite useful for filling the individual grain bins...


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... especially
if you have many mods on the farm. The only solution to this issue is to not use any 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...

IMPORTANT: As this map has a built-in GEO to simulate the conditions here, in the Midwest, there is NO NEED
to use a custom GEO... in fact, issues can and may result from doing this.


There will be no "mod requests" or custom changes to the map. 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!
