❤️ A Big Thank You

A very special thank you goes to WingiTv for providing the special animals and for the support that made these additional animal species possible on Hof Grafenau.
Many thanks for your work and for making this available! Permission to use these animals can only be obtained from WingiTv; I do not grant permission myself. ❤️
💬 Conclusion

Hof Grafenau isn't a massive industrial farm – it’s a place for real farmers seeking peace, a manageable layout, and authenticity.
A little paradise for those who want to personally tend to every screw, every harvest, and every animal. 🌾
✅ All farm buildings can also be placed manually.
✅ ALL pens can be mucked out manually if you don't place a manure heap; the manure spawns automatically
inside the pens.

✅ Now, a note for AutoDrive players:
AutoDrive courses are built into the map.
Follow these instructions, or the courses will disappear when you start a new game (regardless of difficulty level) if you have AutoDrive in your mods folder.
When you start the savegame for the first time, AutoDrive will ask if it should create courses – select NO! If you select "Yes," my courses will be removed, and you will have to start a new savegame or record your own.
For those asking why I didn't include individual AutoDrive courses: a definite "no," as the map already comes with them.

💬 Conclusion
Hof Grafenau is not a massive industrial operation—it is a place for true farmers who value peace, a clear layout, and authenticity.
A little paradise for anyone who wants to personally tend to every bolt, every harvest, and every animal. 🌾❤️
Hof Grafenau has no connection to the actual village of Grafenau; it is a purely fictional map, and the name is simply derived from my own surname, "Graf"—nothing more.
