still playing this, and most likely will do for the whole FS22-period... two savegames with two totally different self-built farms... this map is far from perfect (which map isn't?) but so far it's the only north american map which hit my FS-nerve on spot... it has unique features and the terrain is rich in variety and not nearly as soporific as the one on so many other maps... definitely gives me the right feel (and I'm not from Wisconsin, not even from the same continent)... a note in passing: I really don't care what hip youtubers are doing, some of them don't even have a basic idea about farming ... so to the guys who created this: THANKS A LOT, you supplied and still are supplying me with many relaxing hours!!!
sorry for the delay MB Farms but it's summer and I have my hands full with other things (and leisure-time mostly is outdoor-time, that's why the farms are in their early stage; they are more or less on hold until end of real-life-August ;-)
first of all I mostly play small scale old style... when WESTBY came out also Bernie's farmpack got out so I HAD to build a farm with it: it's 1991, I liked the spot on the ridge and used GE to make neighbor's pasture my own
custom (1st farm: 'White Farm Pack', 2nd: several collected mods which matched the 60s time scale) the prebuild farms on the map are actually quite good and have unique features (like opening of the hayloft) but the silos and animal sheds were just to big for my current style
looks like they abandoned this project no updates nothing I also see no content creators are playing this map anymore the hype is over for this map to many issues
Sadly I think you're right. This map had potential to be one of the best for the entire duration of FS22, but it looks like it's going to just be forgotten
I have been playing on this map for quite some time now and I see no big issues really. I am slowly getting the big dairy up and running. There are still loads of people playing Westby just because you don't see a YouTube video about it dose not mean it's not there. This is also a PC only map as it is 4X and has custom models and scripts. It is a very good map i think people just need to stop complaining and realize that mod making takes a lot of time and effort as well as people have IRL responsibilities. Most IRL farmers have 2 or more jobs to make a small family farm profitable.
I haven't been active in the FS community for several months nor had any motivation to play FS/work on any projects. I've also worked 2 jobs this spring and likely won't have much time until winter to start anything new or update anything. I simply don't have the time to work on anything for the next couple months
I'm loving the map! I've put a couple hundred hours into it. I'm populating the barns at the large dairy farm from west to east. I found that the milk trigger works to fill my tanker on the western most barn but the two to the east do not work. I'm not sure about the others. Thank you for making a quality map!
Unplayable because you can not delete the farmhouses. I like the fact that you don't have a sleep trigger on the map so I can add my own, but then you don't give me choice to add my own unless I add it to your farmhouse. Yes I know I can change it in GE but I don't want to have to edit a map with another program. Looks like it could be a good map but I will never know.
Just go into GE and delete the farmhouses yourself, I edited my version and moved some things around and It's amazing. It's really not that hard, It takes 5 minutes to do. I can even send my edited Westby version to you if u really cant do it.
Does anyone know why the map isn't showing up? I've put the mod and the buildings, and building are unzipped, and separate. the map is just as is and it's registering in modhub but not in the map selector?
No, but on mod network there is a version without the farmhouses that works for me. So if you don't have any issues placing down a farmhouse for yourself that's the only thing I could figure out.
Is anyone else having issues getting the bale loading area to work on any of the farms! I have tried for hours now to get it to work on any of the farms and it wont work.
Hi all. I can't seem to find the Freestall Design 2 milk trigger points with my milk tanker. I've looked for the trigger box using Power Tools F5 command and it doesn't seem to be there.
I would like to confirm, what is the latest specific version of the map right now? Is it 1.0.0.5 ? Just want to make sure I have the "Hotfix" version. Thank you.
Hi. I've just downloaded the map for FS22. I begin a new savegame and everything seem to go right until I save and exit. When I get back to the same savegame it shows the store empty like this. Any known mod conflict ?... Looking forward to try this map. Thanks.
YES this is the exact same issue I'm having. It's related to proseed but i have no idea how in hell the map is breaking proseed. whats happening is its breaking the giants hud script.
Thank you for the update. When I found out a V2 was coming out, I stopped playing. Over the weekend, I started back up better than ever on V2. I'm so excited to get going. Thank you again for all your hard work.
If you are taking notes on small bugs or small fixes, one thing I noticed is the red barn on plot 104 won't give you ownership unless you buy plot 105. I think it sits on the border of 2 plots and it should just be on 104.
I can't get this map to load after the update. 60% permanent and I've been waiting 30-40 minutes. Edit: Found it. for some reason your map makes real numbers animals error out. Edit 2: It then broke pro-seed loading it after the first time and then after that it broke the mouse and HUD script (the giants one).
I can't understand how your map is breaking not only mods but the game at record pace. Elm-creek doesn't do this, county-line the fs19 convert doesn't, no other map does this.
Boys need to start using Test Runner before publishing mods This is just one test one building from the building pack. NOT EEN SINGLE textures have minimaps. REMEMBER MINIMUM YOU CAN TRANSPARENT DX5 PLUS MINIMAPS NONTRANSPARENT DX1 PLUS MINIMAPS. MAP IS BIG HAVING CRAPPY TEXTURES ON IT DONT HELP RUN SMOOTH
Hey so we found out that the jmf barn doors wont open we started a new game with only your mods (to make sure there was no conflict) and they still didn't open, we then did the same trouble shooting with the original jmf barn and they work. this was both on Single player and Dedi
yea we owned the land ,it was just that barn because the farm that has fields 31-35 did the same thing so i replace the v2 jmfbarn with the v1 westby jmf barn and it works
I don't think they are planning to do that, you can always go into GE after the update and delete the houses yourself, as far as the grain bins, all of them should be demolishable.
So on the huge Cattle operation near fields 58 and 88. I am for the life of me not able to get a straw trigger for any of them. Tried driving around the outsides, Tried different straw blowers and can't seem to get it to work.
I made splines for AI and traffic for this map so it can work with the base game AI and generate a full AutoDrive network for all paved roads. I would like to contribute it to the project if that is possible. I have made it available here with more details: https://github.com/ybmods/fs22-westby-wi-4x-splines

Thanks for the message! I'm super glad you enjoy the map. I'd like to see the farms you built if you can post them here or message my page

2nd farm pretends to be around 1966 (ok, you've to fiddle for that); thought as a more 'meditative' approach without helpers
thanks again for this! I l-o-v-e the area/terrain!
did you custom build this farm or does it come like this on the map?
custom (1st farm: 'White Farm Pack', 2nd: several collected mods which matched the 60s time scale)
the prebuild farms on the map are actually quite good and have unique features (like opening of the hayloft) but the silos and animal sheds were just to big for my current style

I've got this in my log.txt file. 2022-06-03 20:18 Error: addRequiredCropType foliage 263138 must match the size of the ground terrain detail.
I have problems with the contracts not updating and I'll have the same ones for years and fields will just sit and the ai won't do anything
Am I the only one who is experiencing Invisible terrain on this map. Only map mods loaded aswell. Thanks

Does anyone know why the map isn't showing up? I've put the mod and the buildings, and building are unzipped, and separate. the map is just as is and it's registering in modhub but not in the map selector?
have you found a fix? I have the same issue
No, but on mod network there is a version without the farmhouses that works for me. So if you don't have any issues placing down a farmhouse for yourself that's the only thing I could figure out.
Is there a way to sell the Silage Bunkers next to field 48?
I have tried, They don't show up in the map editor either when I load in westby so I am not exactly sure what to do either.
Is this map getting a custom soil template?
ive downloaded the map and the doors do not open for m
You need to own the land.
Is anyone else having issues getting the bale loading area to work on any of the farms! I have tried for hours now to get it to work on any of the farms and it wont work.
Where do I put the straw for beef pasture 8 (near fields 107 & 108)? I’ve tried all over and the bales aren’t being accepted.
Hi all. I can't seem to find the Freestall Design 2 milk trigger points with my milk tanker. I've looked for the trigger box using Power Tools F5 command and it doesn't seem to be there.
It has been pushed inside the geo of the buildings. We cannot access it with a truck or trailer tank...
Really need to fix this. I guess I will try to edit it in the Giants Engine
If it is the one on the northern farm and not on the big dairy it could be possible that you need to open the door to the milk room first?
im haveing issue with putting down extra animal buildings and says i have too many anyway around it?
Download the "More Animal Husbandrys Possible" mod
how do i get the mod to work?
I would like to confirm, what is the latest specific version of the map right now? Is it 1.0.0.5 ? Just want to make sure I have the "Hotfix" version. Thank you.
I can't get the free-stall building mod to work. Any Ideas
where's the download link on this page? I can't see anything to download the map from.
Download Now button should be there
I still cant get the jmf barn doors to open while owning land and I can just walk right through them.
YES this is the exact same issue I'm having. It's related to proseed but i have no idea how in hell the map is breaking proseed. whats happening is its breaking the giants hud script.
take out the Dynamic Field Mod
To the map team,
Thank you for the update. When I found out a V2 was coming out, I stopped playing. Over the weekend, I started back up better than ever on V2. I'm so excited to get going. Thank you again for all your hard work.

yea im also having problems with jmf barn doors not opening and i do own the land
Hey so we found out that the jmf barn doors wont open we started a new game with only your mods (to make sure there was no conflict) and they still didn't open, we then did the same trouble shooting with the original jmf barn and they work. this was both on Single player and Dedi

yea we owned the land ,it was just that barn because the farm that has fields 31-35 did the same thing so i replace the v2 jmfbarn with the v1 westby jmf barn and it works
I am having problems with barns/buildings being missing and the big dairy farm non of the triggers work
Did you download the buildings?
yes. its in my mod folder. the mod says westby_buildings_unzip and thats my only mod that says that.
Open the westby_buildings_unzip and move all the files into your mod folder.
ahh that fixed it thank you. love the map
were is the other link to the buildings
On MB Farms FB page.
in the next update is it possible we can demo the houses on the farms and grain bins also?
I don't think they are planning to do that, you can always go into GE after the update and delete the houses yourself, as far as the grain bins, all of them should be demolishable.
I see the "Buildings" ZIP file download is gone. Oh... is it a sign there will be an update soon? *giddy*
Hello,
So on the huge Cattle operation near fields 58 and 88. I am for the life of me not able to get a straw trigger for any of them. Tried driving around the outsides, Tried different straw blowers and can't seem to get it to work.
as of now the large dairy isnt working but when the update comes out itll be fully functional
cant wait. This map is epic!!!
Hi, not to rush, how far out is the update? I know you guys have been working thru a fair bit of issues.
On his FB page, he mentioned it is within days of release. Few stubborn issues remain.
thx for the great map!
field 24 could be a little smoother - there seem to be the remnants of a brook and/or a way that weren´t ironed out after some edit
the slurry plane at the dairy barn close to fields 71,39 and 48 is broken
Looking forward to the update, question for you, by any chance is Alfalfa going to be added in the update? Also, do you have a discord?
Thanks,
We don't have plans to add alfalfa in V2 but possibly in the future
Thanks for the reply.

amazing map
Without sounding needy and petty... (lol).... is their any update on the update? Been quiet for awhile. The suspense is killing me :P
Hoping for this weekend if all goes well
