Paradise Farm & Pit: Our first FS25 map (4x) is coming

Paradise Farm & Pit is going to be the first map of our own at FS Modworks: a 4x map for Farming Simulator 25, farming up top and mining all the way down to the gold. Right now it is a map concept. Once community funding reaches 50 %, our members play the beta. Four weeks later the map is free for everyone.

▶ Watch the teaser, a flight across the map concept.

Farm. Dig. Hunt.

That's our slogan, and honestly it's the whole plan. Up top you farm, down below you dig, and in the woods at the very top something with a lot of fur is waiting. In between runs one road that the farm and the pit will fight over. We're already looking forward to the fight.

Up top: paradise

The big fields lie in the farm valley, and Paradise village sits by the river with its farm. The plan is for chains that feed each other: milk with a cream station and cheese dairy, a butcher with a smokehouse, a farm brewery, the bakery, a cider press and a vineyard, plus biogas for power.

Microfarming: the small things

For everyone who likes working by hand: a greenhouse and asparagus beds, a mobile chicken coop with a hatchery, beekeeping, sheep shearing all the way to finished wool, a fish pond, and at the end the farm shop with its café. V1 comes with the mini set of milking pail and sheep shears. The full tool system with inventory, watering can, hoe and fishing rod comes with the Director's Cut "The High Woods".

Down below: the pit

Drive up from the farm to the pass and you'll meet two old friends first: Carmack and Skookum Jim, twenty metres tall this time. You know these two from the Gold Trader. Behind them, paradise ends. Pütt Pit goes six benches deep, and you work your way up in four stages: from gravel contractor through building materials and road building to hard rock that gets drilled and blasted. At the very bottom the gold is waiting, and you wash it all the way to the bar. And of course you dig with Mining Layers and Dig With Anything.

And the hunting?

That belongs to the Director's Cut "The High Woods", together with free-roaming hunting, the bear, the game chamber and the tool system. The DC is separate from the map.

How it starts: the ladder

On fsmodworks.com a bar fills up, and every step unlocks something:

• 50 %: beta for members, four weeks later V1 is free for everyone (Director's Cut mods not included).
• 80 %: members only: Mining Layers V2 (Director's Cut), Dig With Anything V2 (Director's Cut), the first vehicles, plus Epiroc PV-235 E, Manitowoc 4600 Dragline, Swim Dredge and Gold Trader V2.
• 100 %: everything: all productions, all vehicles, all Director's Cuts, oil field, oil production and oil sand.

We build the vehicles, locomotives and trailers for the map ourselves. You can see where we are at /en/funding, and the map with the rotatable 3D view at /en/mods/fs25-map-paradise-farm-pit. We can't wait to see how fast you fill that bar.

Questions about the map

Is Paradise Farm & Pit a 4x map for FS25?

Yes. The map is 4096 × 4096 metres, four times the area of a standard 2 × 2 km map.

Is it a mining map or a farm map?

Both. A farm with productions and microfarming up top, a pit with gravel, limestone, hard rock and gold below. Road and rail connect the two.

When can I download the map?

There is no date yet. At 50 % community funding members play the beta, and four weeks later everyone can. The bar on fsmodworks.com shows where we are.

What do I need to play it?

TerraFarm, Mining Layers and Dig With Anything V1. You don't need a Director's Cut for the map.
