COLDBOROUGH PARK FARM – ULTIMATE EDITION V1.1 LS15

COLDBOROUGH PARK FARM – ULTIMATE EDITION V1.1 FS25

This version of BulletBill83’s Coldborough Park Farm is a heavily modded edition of what was already an excellent map. The Ultimate Edition has taken over a year to get to this stage, and builds on Bill’s superb foundations. Version 1.1 fixes many bugs and issues from the first modded map and also adds a lot of new features (see the change log below). This is the last edit I will make of this map, in fact it’s the last map I will be making for FS15, so I really hope you enjoy this version as a final farewell to FS15.
For those who don’t like too get their machines dirty too quickly or are struggling to keep up with soil management part of the game, please see the TIPS section at the bottom on how to alter these – they are really simple fixes.
So what’s new?
There is a lot to discover in this modded version, and I’m sure you’ll have fun in doing so.
The purpose of the work done on this map was to add a lot more detail and increase the visual fidelity of it. Rather than write screeds of text, here is a quick run down of the main things added to the map (this is not an exhaustive list).

To bring all this together, you will need the following mods in your mod folder. Also, it’s best to start with a fresh mod folder adding only the mods listed below and the recommended one’s too. I have not tested this map with any other mods other than those listed so cannot be certain if any others will cause conflicts. Please heed this advice before you assume the map is broken.

TIPS:
TERRAIN AND DIRT CONTROL
The Terrain and Dirt Control mod gets your machines dirty pretty quickly. I hear a lot of folk mentioning this, so I investigated a solution to it. While this might not be the 100% correct way to do it, it certainly works for me, and my machinery now takes a more realistic time to get dirty.
Basically all you have to do is unzip the Terrain and Dirt Control mod then open up the “terrainControl.lua” script inside the archive. In that file search for the following line: “dirtAmount = dirtAmount + (AxleSpeed/3000)/#self.wheels;” and change the numeric value to “190000” instead of “3000” then save the file. Create a zip archive of the Terrain and Dirt Control mod you have just altered, then copy the new zip into your mods folder. Voila! You will now not need to use the pressure washer every five minutes!

SOIL MANAGEMENT
— When using soil management, the first time you go to save a game you may get a pop up saying soil mod hasn’t saved properly – just save again and it should be fine.
— I always adjust my careerSaveGame.xml file soil mod section intervalIngameDays=”7″ – this gives 7 days between growth stages and gives you far more time to complete tasks. Weeds will still grow daily I think, but crops won’t. Bear in mind that this also means that grass growth stages will be 7 days apart too, but I think this is more realistic anyway than grass returning to full length in a couple of days.
— If you want to initiate a growth stage manually, you can press ALT+Y and it will initiate it after a short delay. Don’t keep pressing the key combination, as it should eventually kick in.

Have fun!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION – PLEASE READ
Ok, so here’s the important stuff.
This map was built and tested on a pretty powerful gaming PC. The reason I am stating this is so you can compare to how your system may cope, and as such I cannot say how it will perform on mid-range to budget rigs. The view distance settings on the map are very high, in order to achieve the visual fidelity, from distance, that I spoke of. I achieve 50+ FPS all over the map with only a small amount of screen tearing, which I find acceptable enough to enjoy the map. I hope you can too.
