FS25 Lindlar 4x v5.0.4.5

Map with terrain from the Lindlar region

Version 5.0.4.5
Upgrade, can be installed but does not have to
Render distances of crops and bushes as well as pastures increased, gains standard 80m increased to 360m. Graphics settings may need to be corrected (reduce plant visibility and plant visibility LOD on weaker systems)
New bushes permanently integrated into the map (for later expansion)
Roads partially smoothed
Saver game can be adopted

So after a lot of back and forth, now the final version
“The map has no friends”
That’s how you could describe the map, in my opinion it’s not something you can use in between times
You need a few mods
3 which you install manually and the map gets the rest from the modhub.
Technically the map is error-free, visually there are flaws, but I personally think they are acceptable.
There is no spawn for unconfiguring and repairing agricultural machinery, as 90% of users build their workshop on the farm anyway.
There are also no prefabricated farms

The costs of the farmlands are broken down as follows:
Simple meadow/pasture 40,000 per hectare
Arable land 160,000 per hectare
Forest areas 400,000 per hectare
Quarry farmland 201 costs around 1.2 million for 2.11ha
BGA farmland 203 costs around 1.8 million for 1.53ha
There are 8 hotspots on the map where there are farms in the original
So everything is not exactly cheap, which increases the economic appeal, especially on “Hard”
As always, constructive comments on technical errors are welcome
I wish those who play it lots of success and all the best with LS25

Thank you for sharing the detailed information about the Lindlar 4x v5.0.4.5 map for FS25. It appears that a lot of effort has been put into improving the map with various upgrades and tweaks. I'll provide some feedback and comments on the features you mentioned:

1. **Render Distances:** Increasing the render distances of crops, bushes, and pastures is a great enhancement. It allows players to have a more immersive experience with a larger view distance, especially at 360m compared to the standard 80m.

2. **New Bushes:** Permanently integrating new bushes into the map for potential expansion is a good choice. It adds to the visual variety and can create more diverse environments for players to explore.

3. **Roads Smoothing:** Partially smoothing the roads can improve the overall aesthetics and drivability on the map. Smooth roads can enhance the player experience while navigating the landscape.

4. **Save Game Compatibility:** Being able to adopt save games from previous versions is convenient for players who have invested time and progress on older versions of the map.

5. **Technical Stability:** It's great to hear that the map is technically error-free. Players will appreciate a stable gameplay experience without encountering technical issues.

6. **Visual Flaws:** While visual flaws are present, your perspective that they are acceptable is noted. Visual improvements can always be made over time to enhance the overall quality of the map.

7. **Economic Realism:** The breakdown of land costs adds a layer of economic challenge for players, especially on the "Hard" difficulty level. The pricing of different land types encourages strategic decision-making and adds depth to the gameplay.

8. **Mod Requirements:** Requiring a few manual mods for installation may add an extra step for players but can also provide additional features and content to enrich the gameplay experience.

Overall, it sounds like the Lindlar 4x v5.0.4.5 map offers a detailed and challenging farming experience for players. Your dedication to improving and fine-tuning the map is evident, and players will likely appreciate the effort put into creating this version. Thank you for sharing this information, and best of luck to those who play the map in FS25!
