OK so a few of you know that I have been working on my second map my first being Ringwoods and although it's a work in progress here's V1.1b of Black Rock Valley for you all to try out.
The map is log error free.
There are 4 versions of the map for download: The High System Spec and the Standard System Spec and Multifruit for both. The differences are the HSS spec map has higher terrain lod distance/blend, detail, tree clip and LOD and needs a good High end PC or gaming rig to view the map at it's best. The SSS version has standard settings for tree clip, lod and terrain distance and will play on lesser Pc systems. The actual map designs are exactly the same and neither has multifruit or soilmod at this stage. You will not notice much difference when you first load the HSS and SSS versions up but once you start hiring AI you will see the FPS fall in the HSS version unless your PC system is good.
As always I can not say that the map will perform as intended on your pc system.
We are playing the High Spec version although we can only play it on medium settings with around 7-8 AI drivers before the framrate drops below 45fps. Our specs are all intel xenon quad core pc's, 8-16gb ram, Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, Nvidia 680gtx and 780gtx.
Unzip the main file and place the zips inside your mod folder.
All map versions come with support zips which must be placed in the mod folder along with the map file.
Mods you will need for the map. Kotte Garrant universal tanker, Joskin Betimax RDS animal transport trailer, and a good multi-trailer for manure, compost, straw etc. The same ones you use in Ringwoods basically.

Fantastic map Stevie, good work
No Problem, had some teething problems but they are all fixed now. Glad you like it and enjoy playing it. Stevie.
There won't be loads of updates for this, We all tried to get it done off the bat and the placeable areas future proof is for users. Stevie.
Quick question, it wont load it just sits at the loading screen with no words where it usually says loading or start, any ideas did i do something wrong? pretty new to the game. Thank you
If the maps in the new game options to select and that happens afterwards you have a mod conflict. Quick test is rename your current mod folder, create a new empty mod folder and place just the Black Rock Valley files in it. Load game, select map and see if it now loads if it does Tim.
same issue both high specs and low same not loading
yup that worked thanks!
Ok Tim Bring in your mods a few at time and test until you find which are causing the problem.
Alabama Guy try the post directly above yours.

Brilliant.

Merci Nexans.
gdzie zaladowac mleko bo nie mam pojecia fajna mapka dzieki
Witam nie ma mod mleka na mapie, po prostu ściągnąć dobrą wersję, jak ten do umieszczania na stronie internetowej Marhu. Pobierz sprzedaży mod mleka przystanek podczas pobytu tam.
Where can I download placeable sell points for the washed and steamed potatoes, and the compost from the potato washer?
Awesome map and tons of work to be done for any player, including some really amazing and unique manufacturing process.
Got my first crop rotation all planted and only a couple more fields to fertilize.
Here's a screenshot of my crop allocations.

Got more screenshots of the manufacturing also on my steam screenshot page.
Hello Stevie, I downloaded your wonderful map, thank you very much
Thanks Fruzz and WARONDAR. There's a V1cHSSMF test version going on the maps Facebook Page for tomorrow and then the Final versions of the map are being released later next week. It's a huge update of fixes and changes. Stevie.
Hey Stevie.
Is there a trailer that can be used for the Steamed Potatoes? Also, is there a sell point for them right at the salad factory like the lettuce?
Saw there's a pig feeder machine that uses the Steamed Potatoes, I assume you plan on adding that later?
Last thing, would you happen to be on Steam?
I have a problem with the server, map the server works but forcing me back those mistakes;

Hi! Roby I'll have a look at those for next weeks final version, however they aren't mistakes and they are server specific. I will try my best to put them right even though they aren't from my own mods. Stevie.
WARONDAR I have a trailer and bucket ready for next weeks final release for steamed potato and yes there are sell points in the final. If you are playing 1.1c there's sell points in that and Milk has triggers and the MilkMax is working.
GLOWPIPE no milk in that version, The maps face book page has V1.1c which has milk but don't bother getting it as the links are about to be suspended as V1.2 is going to be uploaded which is the finished map. Stevie.
Aha. I will eagerly await V1.2 instead. Get the complete experience.
Keep up the amazing job. Black rock Valley is rapidly climbing up to be my favorite map :)
The link is dead for this now. V1.2 is uploading overnight.
I tried to download your map but when I click on the download button I get nothing.. After watching the video I think this is going to be a awesome map for me.. Thanks for putting the time into it and sharing it with us..
Kenny the link for V1.2 will be on the Maps Facebook page later today which is linked in the description.
