Welcome to BallySpring!
A fictional Irish map based in the West of Ireland with 172 fields, mainly grassland with some arable fields. There are 10 farm yards to choose from.
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.
All 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 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 left clicking your mouse.
Features:
Custom Animals: Bulls, Calves, Goats, Ducks and more
The Goats give you Goats Milk. To collect the Goats Milk from the pasture there is custom versions of the ingame Lizard MKS 8 & MKS 32 Liquid Tankers in the shop
Custom Cattle Breeds: Hereford, Jersey, Charolais & Simmental plus basegame Holstein, Swiss, Angus & Limousin
Multi Terrain Angle
Maize Plus mod supported
Animal Grazing mod supported
Enhanced Animal System mod supported
Mud System mod supported
Custom Traffic. AlienJim’s Left Hand Drive traffic pack installed.
Irish Number Plates
Disturbed Simulations seasonal growth plan with Grapes, Olives, Cotton and Sugarcane removed
Relight Installed
Custom Sounds
Custom NPC’s
Collectibles
Road Network built in Blender
All hedges have collisions. The collisions can be disabled by pressing O at the workbench in the shop
Removable Hedges, Walls, Fences etc. (Press O at the object to remove)
Productions and sellpoints
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 pre-placed aniaml husbandries on the map, the “More Animal Husbandries Possible (64)” mod is
required to make all husbandries functional and enable additional husbandries to be placed down.
Happy Farming! If you find any bugs with the map, please report in the Eire Agri Discord server.
