Hey No Creek,
Wanted to start off by saying I saw your post on Facebook a couple of weeks ago and can't imagine how hard that situation is. Thank you for everything you have given to the Farm Sim community and I wish you nothing but the best. Hope you know that many people are here for you and we expect nothing, but are extremely grateful for the work you've provided to people for free. It is more than we could ask for.
Secondly, I now people have mentioned certain FPS issues with the map, and you've discussed reducing clip distances and reducing the amount of trees but you don't want to break the immersion (which I totally agree with) for a few FPS difference. I was wondering if you have experimented with removing all of the small stones along pathways, on the farms, at the shop, etc., that are used for ground decoration. I have experimented removing them by painting over the surfaces with the in-game textures and the FPS difference has been very noticeable (in some cases 15-30 fps). I just wanted to bring it up in case you find that may alleviate any issues and be a simple solution, rather than breaking immersion in other ways. However, I understand that can be purely anecdotal.
Thanks again for all you've done for the community and I hope you don't feel pressure to put anything but your family first. Best of luck.
