FS Miner how to get started?

[rheitzman]

With an empty mods folder I added the FS Miner pack for Jan 23, added latest Terafarm mod from github, created new Silver Run map - a base game mod shows the Terafarm menus but the FS Miner mods do not.

??? What do I have to do to get the FS Miner mods working in Terafarm mode?
(testing with CAT D6K and Komatsu grader)

Anybody seen a newbe click by click tutorial of either FS Miner mods or TeraFarm?

https://www.fsminer.net/post/terrafarm-last-public-version this terraform you need not the normal one

but with that terraform you can mine on any map but you need to understand how that mod works

OK, totally confused. It appears there are multiple tera farm / mining universes. I start going down any one rabbit hole and quickly get lost.

If I want to be able to "landscape" using equipment mods on any map, instead of FS22 landscape tools, how do I do that? What is the name of that universe?

If I want to replicate what FS Miner does with landscaping on Silver Run map in his videos how do I set that up? What is the name of that universe?

What is MCE and does it overlap with the above two universes?

I hope you get some answers. I'm also curious about many of these things.

No joy on FS Miner, but I'm learning more about Terra Farm(TF). What worked so far:

Downloaded FS_TerraFarm, zip from https://github.com/scfmod/FS22_TerraFarm - right panel, Releases, Latest button - drop in mod folder. I used an empty mod folder and Elmcreek for testing.

On the github page there is a list of in game supported mods, here is an edited list:
Skid Steer Tools - Paladin High-Dump Bucket
Front Loader Tools, albutt Universal Bucket
Telehandler Tools, Magsi Universal Bucket
Wheel Loader Tools, Magsi – High-Dump Bucket
Wheel Loader Tools, McCormack High-Dump Bucket

I learned that the buckets enabled Terra Farm, not the equipment. When you attach to any of these the Help menu should show the Terra Form menu items. By default Y enables/disables TF, Z opens a more detailed menu, B and X change modes/actions.

I also learned that I'm not much better at FS landscaping using TF compared to the Construction menu! :( I was able to paint a test "pallet" of map textures using Smooth and Paint modes and setting the texture to paint on the extended menu.

Excavator FS22_Volvo_EC750EL_FSM.zp worked well. I got mine from the FS Miner pack.

[rheitzman]

Other mods: As far a farm (vs mining) scale goes the FS Miner Lieberr 926 excavator works well. (UPDATE: doesn't work on TF 0.4.0.0)

I didn't find any dozers or rollers that work with Terra Farm 0.3.6. Any suggestions?

I just looked a FS Miner mods that used to work. I see there is a Terra Farm mod aggregator out there but they use one of those infested mod download sites - no thanks.

FS Miner: My evolving understanding: He is a modder, prolific YouTube contributor, and mod aggregator. Maybe more. Excellence all around!

Komatsu 575D works with Terrafarm

I don't think there is such a thing as "fs miner version" of TerraFarm. There is no mention of that on the web site or YouTube. Only reference I see is to github. It may be you need to use an MCE map for his mods. A few FSM mods work on Elm Creek, but not the dozers/rollers.
