Welcome to THE MECHET!
In the heart of the Morvan, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, The Mechet invites you to discover authentic farming in a landscape shaped by time and the work of generations.
Here, the land is alive!
The fields are not vast open expanses, but plots bordered by hedgerows, rows of trees, stone walls and traditional fences. Rivers and streams naturally shape the terrain and structure the landscape.
Each plot has its own character, and every path leads to a new opportunity.
You will find:
• 2 faithfully modelled villages, with an imposing church, a market square, a school, a post office, a castle and many shops.
• A rich hydrographic network made up of numerous streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, as well as a working mill.
• New grass foliage specially developed for this map.
• Extensive work on the colours of trees and vegetation to deliver realistic and immersive seasons.
• Farm tracks created from 3D scans for maximum realism.
• 4 farmsteads with varied atmospheres: sheep, cattle, viticulture and snail farming, including 4 barns, an animated milking parlour and a Stepa grab for the sheepfold.
• 136 fields and 179 purchasable plots.
• 3 agricultural cooperatives (two for cereals and one for root crops), also serving as purchase points for materials such as lime and fertiliser.
• A sawmill featuring 4 types of production: wood, firewood, planks and timber frames.
• A cannery where you can sell your vegetables or produce authentic recipes.
• Many small shops, such as a bakery, a dairy and a market, to add value to your farm products.
• New productions, including snails and their recipes, as well as local cow’s and sheep’s cheeses.
• Expanded farming systems, such as a 3-step grape juice production chain.
• New crops: silage maize, rye, vetch-rye, green rye, triticale, spelt, cover crop, field grass, alfalfa, clover, spring and winter wheat, spring and winter barley.
• Exclusive mechanics, with the arrival of compost and a dedicated shredder for processing it at the BGA.
• Advanced realism, with wind-animated power lines, overflowing gutters in the rain, waterlogged field entrances, Christmas decorations in the village, straw trails, leaves on the ground, and much more.
• New growth stages for many crops, offering smoother visual transitions.
• 4 new cattle breeds: Charolais, Simmental, Vosgienne and Montbéliarde. Each has its own characteristics to refresh the gameplay. It is up to you to choose the one that best fits your farm.
• The possibility to use the GAB (Groupement Agricole du Bocage), a kind of machinery-sharing cooperative allowing you to share your vehicles.
• A municipal water tower and retention basins.
• A railway export warehouse for your goods.
• A brand-new locomotive, specially modelled for The Mechet.
• The Bricodin, a DIY and gardening store where you can sell or buy essential products.
• A shop to build, allowing you to sell your farm products at a better price.
• A brand-new John Deere dealership.
• A large BGA with several silos and a composting area equipped with covered silos.
• A secret quest, as usual!
Finally, a custom help menu will allow you to understand all the map’s new features.
Le Méchet is not a map to rush through, but a territory to explore, develop and master according to your own vision.
Take the time to discover everything it has to offer!

What does it mean that the compressed file is invalid?
A few notes, mostly regarding snail production – 1) the farm’s flour mill won’t produce enough snail food to supply the 10 snail greenhouses there – I had to add 2 additional flour mills to produce it. I’d suggest making the flour mill faster or reducing the number of snail greenhouses. 2) the large greenhouse which needs to produce lettuce for the snails won’t produce enough lettuce for the 10 snail greenhouses. I had to add another greenhouse for lettuce (and garlic for the kitchen). 3) There is no way to produce limestone, so it all has to be purchased and driven to the farm – considering that the three flour mills used over 10000l every 2 months, this became overly burdensome for a “side” production. 4) the pallet storage in the longhouse doesn’t store the cooked snails, and in fact it’s very difficult to use overall as there’s no way to the second floor. 4) there are occasional blocked areas in the fields, even though there’s no tree or fence. You’re driving along and then just stop like you’ve hit a tree but there’s nothing there but a bush.
Overall though, I really like the map and the feel of the area and will probably use it for the grape “juice” productions.
the gate at the dealership will not open. all my cars are stuck inside.
When ever i try to Delivery Milk to the cheese factory on my farm the game bugs and wont dump and locks me from leaving vehicles.
same here :/
The game contains errors related to cheese production. After starting the production, the game freezes. This is either due to the map itself and the implemented productions, or required mods are to blame. This happens even after a new save without any other mods. So it’s not a conflict between non-required mods.
