Riverbend Springs Forestry for FS25 - is a modified version of the North American-inspired Riverbend Springs map, tailored exclusively for forestry enthusiasts. Unlike the base map, which supports diverse farming activities across 76 fields, this edition removes traditional farming infrastructure, replacing it with extensive forest areas featuring four tree types: lodgepole pine, red oak, beech, and aspen. The map retains the scenic river, creeks, and water-centric elements of the original but focuses on logging operations, with production points dedicated solely to forestry.
Features Riverbend Springs Forestry:
Forestry-Focused Map:
- Tree Types: Four varieties—lodgepole pine, red oak, beech, and aspen—scattered across the map, supporting diverse logging operations.
- Production Points: Exclusively for forestry, such as sawmills and log processing, with no pre-installed farming productions (e.g., grain elevators or silos).
- Forest Areas: Enhanced with additional forest zones compared to the base map, ideal for large-scale logging.
Map Specifications:
- Landscape: Retains the base map’s winding river, creeks, ferry crossing, and water-themed elements like piers and jetties, but prioritizes forested terrain over fields.
- Fields: The original 76 fields are de-emphasized, requiring players to clear trees for farming and add their own production facilities.
- Collectibles: Likely retains the 20 grain elevator museum collectibles from the base map, each worth $10,000, though not explicitly confirmed for this edition.
Gameplay Mechanics:
- Forestry Operations: Supports automated floating log management and sawmill production, inspired by the Silverrun Forest DLC from FS22.
- Dynamic Ground Deformation: Heavy forestry equipment creates realistic ruts, affected by wet conditions, enhancing immersion.
- No NPCs: Unlike the base map, NPCs are not mentioned, suggesting a focus on player-driven activities (similar to the No NPC Edition).
- Land Clearing: Players can clear forested areas for farming, but must manually install productions like silos or barns, offering flexibility for mixed operations.
