Porcupine Mountains Michigan v1.0.1.3

Welcome to the wilds of the Porcupine Mountains in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Here you will be met with many challenges. Difficult terrain, extreme weather and vast empty wilderness.
This is a start from scratch/survival style map. You have inhereted a small amount of property with a small trailer house, a shed, a silo and some heavily used equipment.
There is one small field of field grass on the property. You have all the equipment needed to cut and bale it into hay to get some income. There is also a constructable log cabin on the property that if you provide the proper materials you will be able to build a nice home.
At that point you can sell your trailer for some extra cash. You can harvest trees to provide the needed wood for the cabin and there is a sawmill you can buy to produce other materials needed. Materials you cant produce or choose not to produce can be bought at the warehouse.
There is a very small town area where you can buy and sell things. There is tons of forestry if that is the route you choose to go or there is plenty of open space to plow fields and expand your farms. There is NO traffic on the map which gives you the opportunity to make roads where ever you want. There are 50 collectables on the map.
There are 58 available farmlands and 1 field.
There are a couple of buying points and selling points on the map.
Here is a list of production/sell points that can be found:
– Saw mill

– Animal trader

– The map has a custom animal.xml. Cows dont produce milk until after 27 months and goats dont produce milk until after 12 months to make things more realistic
I hope you all enjoy the map and good luck out there.
I would like to give special thanks to InsaneSimGuy for letting me use his silo for the farm.
