Download the Map

Ready to play? The Row Crop System build is now the default; no more vanilla split - so everyone gets curved rows, planter shutoff logic, full Precision Farming support, and a GA-stable package tuned for long saves. Need the classic vanilla build for an older setup? There's a legacy download tucked below, but it's frozen after this GA release.

Map Download (RCS) v1.0 GA

The definitive Row Crop System build with 16k density maps, enhanced crop logistics, and multiplayer-ready configs.

Size: 492 MB

Download Map (zip) Download Dependencies
ThundR Row Crop System logo Row Crop System is now public and free. Install the latest RCS mod (download it directly from ThundRFS on itch.io) plus ThundR Precision Farming Configurator before loading the map.

The map uses 16k density maps: we recommend 32GB RAM and 8-12GB VRAM.
Still looking for the vanilla non-RCS version?

The vanilla build quietly remains available for players who cannot run ThundR's Row Crop System. It (closely) matches the v1.0 GA content, but it will not receive any future fixes or support.

Final release: expect no bug fixes, compatibility updates, or support. Please plan to migrate to the RCS build when you're able.

Size: 468 MB

Download Vanilla (zip)

IMPORTANT: This map requires ThundR's Row Crop System (now free) and several community mods. Download everything from the original source links so authors get credit and you stay on the latest versions.

Legacy Vanilla Build: RCS remains the only supported path, but the "Still looking for the vanilla non-RCS version?" toggle above links to the final vanilla map release. It's frozen at this GA release and will never receive new fixes—treat it as an archival fallback only.

FAQ

Why we discontinued the Combined download

In an effort to respect the creators: combined zips bypass author analytics and royalties. This change also improves version accuracy: manual links ensure you always get the latest releases from the source; maintenance: keeping a mega-zip in sync caused confusion and stale mods.

What should you do now?

Download the Row Crop System map above, then install the required mods from the Dependencies & Credits list below. Mods on the official ModHub can be pulled in automatically by the game. Restart the game and select the map; the launcher will prompt you to install any missing ModHub items.

Can I still download the Vanilla version?

Active development is focused on ThundR's Row Crop System build. That said, there is one legacy vanilla version online for players whose rigs or mod stacks can't handle RCS yet (this version reverts to 8k density maps and standard crop systems, which should be less demanding on hardware and more performant on less powerful machines).

Use the "Still looking for the vanilla non-RCS version?" toggle in the download section to grab v1.0 GA (Final). It's unsupported (no bug fixes, balancing, or compatibility updates) and future seasons will target the RCS map only, so plan your migration accordingly.

Do I still need a Patreon subscription for RCS?

Nope! ThundR released the Row Crop System publicly on his itch.io page. Download the latest FS25_0_THRowCropSystem zip there (and grab the Precision Farming Configurator while you're visiting) before launching the map.

What happens if I use the RCS map without the RCS mod?

Your planted fields will display as a solid fill of the crop instead of individual rows. Install RCS to see proper rows and spacing.

Why isn't the RCS mod bundled with the map?

RCS is maintained by ThundRFS. Keeping it on his official channels ensures you always download the newest version (and that he receives proper credit/analytics). Grab it straight from ThundR's itch.io page or other official releases.

How do I install the map?

Download the map zip and place it in your FS25 mods directory (most common in C:\Users\...\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\mods). Then install the required mods from the Dependencies & Credits section. Restart the game and start a new career on the map.

Why do I not see all of the vehicles?

The map is designed to only spawn a subset of the vehicles at Gage Grain when the mode is set to "Start from Scratch" or "Farm Manager." If you want all of the intended vehicles to spawn, choose "New Farmer."

Can I download all of the required mods in one go?

No. The combined package has been discontinued to support mod authors and version accuracy.

Use the links in Dependencies & Credits to download the required mods. Items on the official ModHub will automatically download in-game when you load a save that requires them.

Does the map represent a real place?

Yes, the map is a fictional depiction of the Gage community in Kentucky (view on Google Maps). Although not all structures are realistic, the terrain, fields, placement, and style is consistent with reality.

What is the current state of the map?

We're now on the v1.0 General Availability build. That means the feature set is locked, major bugs are squashed, and the focus shifts to playing and enjoying the map. The cadence slows from here. Expect the next planned release no sooner than March 2026 unless GIANTS changes the base game or players surface a critical issue. Keep sending feedback if something breaks your save.

Can I download the map for console?

Not currently. There are certain restrictions on publishing mods to modhub for console; due to this, there is no guarantee that this map is approved or published (likely not, due to some of the dependencies).

How much does the map cost?

The map and all of its dependencies are free. Depending on where you download the dependencies, the original creators may get a royalty.
