Ray County Early Beta Release Information

The early beta for Ray County is ready to be tested! Please read through ALL of these instructions so you fully understand what to expect and how this process works. Thank you for supporting my work and ensuring that I can continue to bring content to the game.

1. You need to be a member of the Exclusive Tier to have early access and begin testing the map.

2. The map is in an early beta state. There are no buildings, buypoints/sellpoints, traffic, etc. Luckily, with the way the game works now, you can use whatever placeables you would like to test out the map. Even the parts of the map that seem finished will still be added to and adjusted, so please understand that this is not what the finished product will look like.

3. There will be channels on my Discord for you to post about errors/bugs, screenshots, and give suggestions, etc. Please be kind to all members of the server and if you know the answer to a question that is asked there, feel free to answer it to help out others. If you don't know how to join my Discord server through Patreon, a quick Google search will walk you through those steps.

4. There is one REQUIRED mod and one optional at this time. I have started to place fences in the map. If you want to see them, use the following link to download this mod from LJR Modding (check out his other mods as well, he does great work) https://ljr-modding.itch.io/fs25-american-fence-and-gates  The required mod is a script that makes the crops work like they should. It is from ThundRFS and can be found here https://thundrfs.itch.io/fs25-default-types THIS MOD IS REQUIRED FOR THE MAP TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. Both mods can be downloaded and simply placed in your mods folder.

5. To prevent leaking the project, your version will be unique in a couple ways.  One, the title will not be "FS25_Ray_County_Early_Beta".  Instead there will be a number added to the end. For example, you might get "FS25_Ray_County_Early_Beta_5".  This is so that I can upload multiple versions of the map to the same website and send you a link.  When you download the map, you will need to rename the zipped file by removing the number at the end.  Your zipped file should read "FS25_Ray_County_Early_Beta" in order for the map to load correctly.

Here's where people need to pay attention. Your map will be 100% unique to you.  I have gone into one of the map files and changed one digit in one number amongst thousands of lines of code.  When you message me, I will record your name and what the number has been changed to on a spreadsheet.  This way, if you upload the map to a website for the public to download, I will be able to download the file, open it and tell exactly who this version belongs to.  Basically what I'm telling you is, your name will be blasted on every FS page and social media outlet possible if a leaked version is tied to you.

I will start sending download links as soon as I can and do so in the order the messages were received.  If you are 20th on the list, that means you may not get your version for potentially up to a day or so.  I will work through them as fast as I can.

Just so I know you have read through everything, please send me a message that says, "I have read and understand the process for downloading a unique version of the map that will be tied only to me and am ready for a download link."  When I have this message from you through Patreon, your place in line will be reserved.

I hope you like the project so far. It has a long way to go, but I think it has a lot of potential. Looking forward to your feedback on Discord!

Happy farming,
