🎨A message from the author

I grew up in the desert of the American Southwest and made this mod out of nostalgia. The crop in the expansion is so special to me, I even got a tattoo of it!

This mod started out as just a new map and gradually grew into something bigger (that's why the code is a bit confusing, I didn't expect so many features to be added).

Thanks for trying this mini-expansion!

Special thanks to the SDV Discord community who helped me tremendously every step of the way!
