Mega Dairy Map

This is my Mega Dairy Farm Map. What to say about this map, well it was first in FS17 as a flat, 4x map with 4-5 HUGE fields. Then it came back in FS19 as a mostly flat 1x map. For FS22, I thought it was time for an overhaul. It is still a 1x map, but the terrain has but drastically changed to where it's a different map from the previous versions. The freestall barns I used on some of my other FS19/22 maps have been changed and are included on this map (no Placeables_22 mod needed for this map). The Parlor from my Placeables Pack got changed a bit specifically for use on this map, it's a bit larger now and the milkhouse has more functionality as well. The name of this map basically says it all, it centers around a HUGE Mega Dairy Farm, which is located right smack in the center of the map, imagine that. My Co-Op is the only sellpoint, but the arrangement of the buildings and bin complex is different. I also added my Fast Stop Gas Station from my Dyersville Map. I've also added an animal buy/sellpoint and that is my Salebarn from my CACAM Map. There are 14 fields, some are quite massive, and some aren't completely flat. A few fields near the Mega Dairy are much smaller. This map has the largest Dairy setup in FS22. The original of this map in FS17 was larger. The Parlor and the 4 freestall barns are all connected. Like my other maps, the milkhouse which is off the parlor functions for loading milk from all of the freestall barns and the cows in the Parlor Pen. A new addition added to the milkhouse's functionality is after milking the cows you can now wash out the milklines by running water through the lines. Just throw the switch (near the sink) to turn the water on and off. Milklines to each of the five bulk tanks gets washed out. You'll have to run each bulk tank to 'milk' each barn of cows and pick up the milk, my previous maps had three barns. Backing a trailer that accepts milk into the rollup door of the milkhouse, during milking is how milk gets loaded (same as my other maps with my Parlor). As you milk each barn, milk can be seen going through the lines into its respective bulk tank. While washing out the lines water with cleaner can be seen in all the lines. Water needs to be turned off to be out of the lines. You can only load milk from one barn at a time. Milk can only be loaded with the tank running which is also while cows are visibly in the parlor. There are contracts on the fields you don't own. The 3 large pastures are more intended for raising heifers/yearlings, full grown cows are more profitable when you have them in the freestall barns so they can be milked. Animals in pastures only get fed. Wouldn't have to separate calves from cows born in pastures. The 3 Heifer Sheds are more intended for raising calves/bull calves into heifers/yearlings. There are 4 Calf Sheds for raising calves/bull calves, calves there get fed milk, and the calf sheds get bedded. If you want to feed {older}calves hay and grain, then the heifer sheds are where those calves go. Animals in the Heifer sheds get fed and bedded. Manure in the sheds will need to be cleaned out. If you want some bulls on the farm but you don't want them with your cows or heifers, there's one of my Feedlot pens behind the Grain Complex, animals there get fed (with my creep feeder), watered, and bedded. Manure will need to be cleaned out. More than straw can be used to bedded cows---corn stalks, soybean straw, canola straw, pea straw, barley straw, and oat straw can all be used to keep your critters comfy. Corn fodder is universal, it can be fed OR used as bedding. Like my other maps this one has sweetcorn and is Earcorn Mod ready, Haylage Mod, and Peas Mod ready.

There are currently 17 cow pens, 4 freestall barns, 4 calf sheds, 3 heifer sheds, 4 pastures, 1 feedlot, and the Parlor pen. for a total of up to 6,000 head of cattle.

In-game traffic is on this map, if you want some custom traffic(JD X9, tractors, etc.), you'll need to have my Traffic_22 mod, available on my itch.io

Wells at the pastures automatically water your cattle but eventually the wells will go dry but not soon.

Volunteer Corn has been updated.

Please note that there are no bale triggers on this map, they won't work. I recently found what's causing them to not work, one of the new features I added. This might get fixed in an update later on.
