Blackriverfarm gives you a completely fictional 4x map in an American style. You can work across huge landscapes, handle industrial harbor facilities, and choose between different kinds of terrain, whether you play alone or with a multiplayer community.
Changelog
v1.0.0.4
What’s been updated:
- The Asian Farmers’ Market now lets you unload loose potatoes, carrots, parsnips, beetroots, and sugar beets through a new unloading trigger. It is now permanently integrated into the map.
- Farm 1’s pig enclosures were adjusted, and the terrain around them had to be changed as well.
- The pig enclosure changes and Farmers’ Market integration mean that you need a NEW save game.
Version 1.0.0.2
What’s been done:
- Weekendfarmers’ reduced harvest values were adjusted back to Giants
- The moddesc number was adjusted
- Swap and keep playing
What was done?
- The soil map got a complete rework
- The water level was fixed
- The terrain and meadows received several cosmetic improvements
- Static NPCs were reduced, so the warning about going over the NPC limit disappears
- The path from the goose pen to the store image was adjusted
- The bale storage trigger markers were fixed
Terrain changes mean you unfortunately have to start a new save game!

Farm 1
Farm 1 is a classic American farm with spacious barns, silos, and animal enclosures. Use it for large-scale arable farming or make it your multiplayer main farm.
Farm 2
Farm 2 is a specialized mixed farm with:
- Grape plantations
- Olive groves
- Orchards
The two farms are split into individual farmlands. To own a whole farm, you have to purchase its corresponding plots separately. That setup supports long-term game development and role-playing projects.

- You can build a roller coaster on the map
- You can build a large grain silo on the map
- Farm buildings and many bridges were built completely as custom creations
- Terrain from flat plains all the way to steep hills
- Steep mountain passes for demanding transport
- Bridges with custom designs
- Custom soil map
- Precision Farming compatible
- Custom-built farm buildings and bridges
- A mix of agriculture, industry, animal husbandry, and port management
- Ideal for large multiplayer projects
Animal Husbandry
The farm animal sheds are not the only animal facilities here. These are already permanently installed on the map:
- 5 additional cow pastures
- 1 sheep pasture
- 1 horse pasture
The sheds are designed realistically. You need to muck manure out directly from the sheds, because it does not automatically collect in a separate manure heap. That makes animal husbandry more realistic and immersive to play.
The Harbor
The large harbor sits in the middle of the map and is your main place for:
- Selling goods
- Production chains
- Logistics and transshipment
Shadow Pines connects straight to the harbor and is the economic center of the region.
The Villages
Raven Hollow
This is the spot for the buildable roller coaster.
Shadow Pines
The biggest village has direct harbor access and an industrial character.
Whispering Rocks
This village is built into the mountain on several levels. At the ferry terminal, you can produce sailing yachts.
Multifruit
Additional Crops:
- Alfalfa
- Clover
- Forage Grass
- Flaxseed
- Mustard (harvestable)
- Poppy
- Rye
- Spelt
- Triticale
Production & Energy
- 2 biogas plants for generating power
- Electricity and empty pallets are needed for production to operate
- Every farm has its own field production facility to manufacture all necessary resources
Important: Do not expand farm buildings and use them on other maps.
