What is this?
This is a custom map that replaces the original Four Corners Farm map. I wasn't a big fan of the implementation of the original Four Corners, with all the cliffs and all, so I have created this as an alternative; the same four farms in a single map concept but with more detail and less intrusion.

The niches of the Four Corners are also available in this version. That being; 
Top left: Specialized in foresting, has grassy areas that you can plant trees, also one containing a large stump. Also weeds here can transform into the unique ones that always drop mixed seeds, the same as on the Forest Farm.
Bottom left: Specialized for fishing, players have a 50% chance of catching forest pond fish
Bottom right: Specialized in mining, contains a small quarry that spawns rocks, ores and geodes depending on the player's Mining level.

This map is a detailed modification of the original one. It is as vanilla as possible; it has no custom tilesets, no complicated scripts and code added, no big adjustments to the map itself to avoid any unforeseeable complications.

Versions / How does this work?
I've included two versions for this mod.
The normal version uses SMAPI and Content Patcher.
Thanks for their fantastic work, using their systems ensures just a few lines of code on my end is all it takes to make a call for this map to load instead of the original map, without deleting or replacing the original map file itself.

Alternatively... alternative version is for use without dependencies, it is to directly replace the original map.

In case there are users that cannot use or do not wish to use these dependencies, they can simply replace the original file with this file
to use this map.

Usable in co-op?
Yes. You need to make sure all players have the mod installed.

Do I need to start a new farm?
No, but when you change a map with this for an already established farm, you will still have the pathing from the old map, including things like trees and bushes, which will cause issues. IE; you might see unremovable bushes out in middle of the farm that shouldn't be.

Bugs and Issues
No important bugs or glitches.

One minor issue is that when you open the world map by pressing M, you will see a representation of what looks like the original farm instead of a representation of this map.
I've avoided making edits on the world map itself to ensure just in case an user has any other mods that also edits the world map, in case there will be issues of conflict.

One minor issue is, entering the farm from the south (forest), your character will spawn a few tiles north instead of the very edge of the map. I've decided to make it work as it is because to make it otherwise, the forest map had to be edited and that will cause conflicts with mods that also edit this map.

I've kept things as it is to avoid bugs, glitches and issues and to ensure maximum compatibility.
