Somewhere in Thuringia II (4X Map) 2.1.0.0

Kastor has just released the FS19 mod map Somewhere in Thuringia (Irgendwo in Thüringen) part II. And what a map it is! It’s a pure delight to do farming on maps like this one. No wonder Kastor (D-S-Agrarservice) is one of the most respected modders out there.

First of all, this is a 4x map. It’s much larger than the standard Giants’ map size. It’s perfect for multiplayer. Planning on playing it solo? Then you really should consider getting Coruseplay…

Somewhere in Thuringia Facts

• Theterrain, forests, and roads have beencreated based on data from Google Earth.
• Thereare 120(!) buyable parcels, 60 fields, and40 forest areas.

• 5selling points and 2 buying points for fertilizer, seeds, and lime.

The Somewhere in Thuringia map has 3 smaller villages with working traffic. And if you’re a fan of multi terrain angles, you’ll be happy to learn that Kastor has incorporated this into the map.

5 Farms

Moving on… There are 5 farms on the map. All can be yours. 4 of them have installed BGAs. The farms come fully equipped with buildings, sheds, and silos. But there’s still room for more.

AI workers will work to some extent. But to be on the safe side, you’ll be better off using Courseplay.

Useful Info

This map ishuge! A lot is going on. To get you started best way possible, here are some helpfulinfo:

• Noticethe train? It does not have a function. It's just for show. You can disabletabbing into it in the main menu.
• Thereare field missions, but no transport jobs.
• Palletsof tree seedlings can be sold at the sawmill (at the wood chips trigger).Use a front loader to get the moolah.

If you wantto play the map in single-player, you have to drag and drop the XML files intothe Zip-file and replace the current ones. This will make farm 2 to 5 work.

Important: Again, you need to unpack the fileonce you’ve downloaded it. The unpacked folder contains a new folder called “Savegamedatein.” If you don’t want to start a new gamesave, but still wantto enjoy most of the changes, you can add the three files in that folder toyour current gamesave.

If you’reok with starting all over, using a fresh gamesave, you can ignore that folder.
