FS25 Rottumer Island V1.0

Welcome to Rottumer Island. It is a fictional map based on my imagination. The story behind the island is that it is reclaimed land from the Wadden Sea (Netherlands) to make more room for diary and arable farming. It also has a production forest for lumber that can be used on the island or be turned into products that can be exported to the mainland as products. The dairy farms you find on the island are based on farms on the mainland in the northern part of the Netherlands to see how they would function on an island. The island consists of several lakes and waterways that connect them. You can use those waterways and lakes to get water for your animals and/or greenhouses for example, but not from the smaller ditches!
The biggest part of the island is flat so you will be able to build your own farm or productions where ever you like. You can also fill in the ditches to combine fields or farmlands if you enjoy bigger fields.
You start with 1 dairy farm and the arable farm which have most of the equipment and supplies you need to get started.

By buying farmland 1 you will get access to the ‘unbuyable’ land. So you can for example mow the sides of the road and combine fields together! Sidenote for multiplayer, all the fences belong to FarmID 1.
The equipment that is recommended for the map is small to medium in size for the best playthrough.

What you can find on the map:
– 3 Dairy Farms
– 1 Arable Farm
– 1 Farmhouse with 3 Greenhouses
– 1 Small Contractor Yard in the main town
– 1 Horse Farm
– 1 BGA that has been boosted (also accepts straw and sugarbeets)
– Several productions like: a Grainmill, Dairy, BGA and a Sawmill
– 87 Fields
– 98 Farmlands (including the fields)
– 2 Production Forests
– 2 Sheepbarns, with one that has a Spinnery nearby
– 1 Small Cow Pasture
– A forest, that can chop down but where do the animals have to life?!
– 1 small building plot near the docks
– Serveral Sellpoints acrosss the map

No collectibles (yet). Have fun starting your adventure on Rottumer Island and enjoy the scenery when you have the spare time!

Wow, Rottumer Island sounds like a captivating and detailed map for FS25! The backstory of the reclaimed land from the Wadden Sea and the focus on dairy and arable farming, as well as the production forest for lumber, adds depth to the gameplay experience. The incorporation of lakes and waterways for animal watering and greenhouse irrigation is a nice touch, adding a layer of realism and strategic planning for players.

The freedom to build your own farm or production facilities anywhere on the flat island allows for creativity and customization, especially with the option to fill in ditches to create larger fields. The inclusion of multiple farms, a contractor yard, a horse farm, and various production facilities offers a diverse range of activities for players to engage with.

The recommendation for small to medium-sized equipment aligns well with the scale of the map and adds a challenge for players to manage their operations efficiently. The addition of special features like the boosted BGA, multiple sell points, and unique structures like the spinnery near the sheep barns enhances the gameplay diversity.

With a generous number of fields and farmlands, along with production forests, livestock facilities, and other amenities, players will have plenty to explore and manage on Rottumer Island. The absence of collectibles encourages players to focus on farm management and production activities, enhancing the immersive farming experience.

The attention to detail and thoughtful design elements contribute to a rewarding and immersive farming experience on the island.
