FS22 BallySpring v2.0.0.2
Welcome to BallySpring!
A fictional Irish map based in the West of Ireland with 255 fields, mainly grassland with some arable fields. There are 12 farm yards to choose from plus an additioanl Contractors yard at the BGA.
Highly customisable map with all buildings, walls, hedges, fences and yard clutter etc. removable.
Note: Once you start in either Farm Manager or Start from Scratch modes, you dont own any land so wont be able to interact with any of the objects etc. until you purchase some land.
Majority of gates on the map are opened by default. This is to allow access to the fields etc. to complete contracts. You can only open/close the gates that are on land that you own. This is a compromise so the gates can be sold.
The gates can only be sold when closed as they have no collision when opened.
The open animal pastures in the map have a placement marker to show the size when placing. After placement, this marker needs to be manually turned off by walking up to the sign and checking your help menu for the button that needs to be pressed.
The feed troughs can also be hidden by walking up to them and checking your help menu for the button that needs to be pressed. The trigger is between the food and water troughs in most of them and just to the side of the chicken feed trough.
Features:
– Custom Animals: Calves, Heifers, Bulls, Piglets, Boars, Lambs, Rams, Kids, Goats, Foals, Chicks, Ducklings and Ducks plus standard Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Horses and Chickens
– The Goats give you Milk
– Note: You need to use a sheep pasture that supports Milk in order for the Goats to produce Milk. All the built in pastures that come with the map support Milk but be aware that most modded pens and the basegame pens will not have support for Milk
– Custom Cattle Breeds: Hereford & Jersey plus basegame Holstein & Angus
– The cows on the map have Irish ear tags
– Cows can be fed with Silage (As well as the normal TMR etc.) and the Calves can be fed with Milk
– Custom TMR recipe which will allow you to use Wheat, Barley, Oats, Maize, Fieldbean, Potato, Sugarbeet, Sugarbeet Cut, Beetroot, Carrot & Parsnip alongside Mineral Feed
– Chickens & Ducks will give you manure provided the chicken pen you are using has been setup to support this. The chicken pens on the map support manure production
– The Cow and Pig Sheds on the map have manure spawn points adding the ability for the sheds to be mucked out manually into a manure heap
– Multi Terrain Angle
– Emergency Pack mod supported
– Premium DLC crops supported
– Multifruit: alfalfa, clover, hops, millet, mustard, onion, peas, rye, linseed & fieldbean

– All hedges have collisions
– The Hedges can be removed with a chainsaw/mulcher. Walk side to side at the hedge until you see the green ring appear to cut the hedge. Best to use a mulcher as this will remove the hidden tree stump at the same time, sometimes this stump can bug out and leave a hidden collision behind.
– Removable Walls, Fences etc. (Check your help menu for what button to press at the object to remove)
– Productions and sell points
– Precision farming ready with realistic soil map
– Most things only work once the land has been bought. Animals, silos etc.
Due to the amount of removable hedges on the map (These hedges are seen as trees by the game to be able to be removed), the map has exceeded the maximum tree limit for the game.
To remove the pre-placed barbed wire fences and other fence types painted in using construction mode in multiplayer you need to be in Farm ID #1 as this is the only farm that can own these fences by default.
Farmland 176 in the middle of Field 190 is deliberately made very expensive to purchase. This small farmland is present to enable the starting farm land be sold without first needing to sell all the pre-placed placeable fences.
Note: If you do purchase farmland 176, you wont be able to sell it without first selling the pre-placed placeable fences.
The parked cars on the map can be removed by going to the shop and just inside the shop building on the right as you enter the shop building, there is a trigger and in your help menu you will be prompted to press a button to “Hide Parked Cars”
Note: This will only take effect once you reload the game as the cars get spawned into position when the game loads up.
Included with the map is a tire that you can purchase from the pallets menu in the shop and use to decorate your silage pit after covering.
Included with the map are copies of all basegame animal husbandries. You need to use these husbandries from the map otherwise animals will not appear in the pens if you place one of the basegame ones.
There are four versions of the map included. These allow you to select whether you want to use the Relight mod lighting system pre-installed or the standard lighting system and whether or not you want to play with Multifruit.
You will see four versions listed when starting your savegame, select the one you would prefer to use and create your savegame as normal.
