==Farm Map==
A map controls the general appearance and layout of your farm. [[Modding:Maps|Modding:Maps]] describes the basic process of creating a map. Copying and editing an existing farm map is recommended to avoid problems with missing information. The map must be added to the game files, and not replace an existing one.

Copying and editing an existing farm map is recommended to avoid problems with missing information. The map must be added to the game files, and not replace an existing one. When testing a custom farm map, it is best to create a new save whenever you make changes to map properties or the Paths layer. Some changes to farm maps will not appear on existing saves.
