Riverbend Springs: Farming Simulator 25

Riverbend Springs is a map located in the USA featured in Farming Simulator 25. The map was first revealed on FarmCon 24^[1] and previewed again in 2 August 2024 blog post about Riverbend Springs.^[2]

Guided Tour

Riverbend Springs also has a guided tour.

At August morning, player came to the farm and his grandpa Walter cannot longer look after the farm so player has to replace him. First, game introduces interface and then player needs to talk with grandpa. Walter also thought this is the end of his farm because player's father did not want to go him to farm. He thought to sell his farm, but thanks to player farm can stay in the family. Otherwise, player's crazy uncle might've turned it into an amusement park with the main attraction of catching chickens on the fields or something.

After talking to Walter, he gives to player the first job - go to tractor and attach cultivator to it. You must drive on the field and cultivate it. After cultivating the field, you must return to your farm and then attach seeder, refill it and then sow your field with canola - a perfect crop to sow in August. There is also a tip given that you can hire AI Worker. After hiring a worker, the below help window says that you can switch the vehicle pressing TAB or SHIFT+TAB. During the guided tour, you switch to combine harvester, attaching the grain header that is on its own transport trailer and harvest the field. Hiring AI Worker on harvester, next step is use tractor with tipper trailer, drive beyond the combine harvester and wait till it unfolds the pipe and unloads wheat. You can sell your wheat or keep it in grain silo.

After finishing guided tour, Walter tells that the starter farm is player's farm now (this farm is your farm), and if he needs any help he can also ask questions to Ben, helper on the farm. If player does not want a guided tour, Walter trusts him and the player's job starts here.

Summary

Celebrating water

You don't have to ask where the name comes from when you look at the map of Riverbend Springs. A huge, winding river, lots of water, and many little creeks and streams in between. A ferry, too. If you're wondering, how to get across the river - crossing it with a ferry fit for your machine is an option!

"It's all about water and we wanted to celebrate that", commented Senior Level Designer Florian Busse at FarmCon. That's why you'll find piers, jetties, houseboats, restaurants floating on the river, and many more elements in Riverbend Springs to go along with the theme of the map. Perfect fit for adding rice and water physics, right?

History of Lands & Farms

In Riverbend Springs, you'll come across some historic buildings and other elements of times gone by. The old grain elevator, a paper mill at the river or brick buildings how they were built a hundred years ago, for example.

Places to visit

There are many nice spots in Riverbend Springs you might want to visit. Who knows what (or who) you'll get to see when exploring.

There are construction sites, businesses buying your goods, and more. If you're one to enjoy forests and nature, you might want to walk through the woods.

Other

Riverbend Springs features historical wagon builder and toy factory. Established in Riverbend Springs in 1904, Silver Shaft Wagons still produces some very fancy horse-drawn carriages. Requiring wooden boards as well as fabrics and rope to build one wagon. The final product is one a love letter to craftsmanship - and profitable for you.

What's a town without a playground, and a playground without toys? Think of the kids! Then help to construct some wooden toy tractors for the local playground in Riverbend Springs by delivering planks and boards.

Playground Construction

There's a rather big project by an absent toy maker, who doesn't tend to finish his big projects himself, but needs some help. He doesn't stop at toy tractors, but his architectural magnum opus is something else. Grandpa Walter and Noah can tell you more about the actual intention of the project.

Grain Elevator Museum

Since Riverbend Springs used to be a place full of good old wooden grain elevators, there's even one left. Unfortunately, it's in pretty rough shape because it hasn't been used in a long time.

As historic as the grain elevator itself, there are various objects of agricultural significance tucked away around Riverbend Springs. How did they get there? Well, there's a history to it. Maybe Walter can clear it up if you decide to talk to him and he happens to bring it up.

Trivia

Riverbend Springs has 76 fields in game if count manually. This is the second largest American map by fields after Elmcreek from Farming Simulator 22, which has 82 fields, and third largest map by fields overall.
Ropes Factory, according to the sign of building, was founded in 1998.

In Gamescom trailer, it was revealed that Riverbend Springs is located in the U.S. state of Arkansas, which is located in Southern United States.^[3]
Althrough Riverbend Springs located in Arkansas, which is located in Southern United States, the map uses license plates from Mississippi state, which is also located in Southern United States and has a border with following state.
As mentioned in blog post about twisters and hail,^[4] there is a newbie farmer David aged 36, which told that he does not think very much of twisters, because he is a newbie farmer, and, having learned his lesson, he lost about half of his crops on a rather tiny plot and all of his bales left out in the open. Even his shed got damaged. There is also a local lumberjack and forester, which was not available for comment while tending to dead trees that were affected by the storm, and also the retired farmer Walter, aged 72, who shared his perspective on the recent weather change. In the same blog, GIANTS also mentioned: We’ll be revisiting Riverbend Springs in November to see how the weather has impacted the local farming community. Maybe you want to visit yourself and ask the locals some questions., which refers to the Farming Simulator 25's release date, 12 November 2024.
- This also confirms that player's neighbor and newbie farmer David aged 36 and grandpa Walter aged 72.
Riverbend Springs uses the same train model as the Silverrun Forest train from Farming Simulator 22's Platinum Expansion.
Riverbend Springs, like Elmcreek in Farming Simulator 22, has a train to Goldcrest Valley, the American map of Farming Simulator 17.
- Althrough Elmcreek in FS22 has a train to Goldcrest Valley, Riverbend Springs has also train to Goldcrest Valley. That means Goldcrest Valley has two trains - to Elmcreek and to Riverbend Springs.
All of the Riverbend Springs starter machines are also used on Zielonka map.
