Riverbend Springs Multifruit for FS25 - an expertly crafted enhancement by Jinkou89 that expands crop diversity, refines production chains, and boosts profitability for immersive, large-scale American farming operations. Retaining the original map's scenic riverside fields, forests, and infrastructure while integrating over 25 new crops like flax, rye, quinoa, chickpeas, alfalfa, miscanthus, onions, peanuts, white grapes, lavender, hemp, and tobacco, this mod delivers realistic growth calendars, balanced pricing, and specialized harvesting mechanics such as swathing certain grains for 25% yield bonuses or using spinach harvesters for tobacco.
