			=== Density Map ===
			Now the densityMap_ground gdm file will need to be converted in order to be adjusted to the extra channels needed.

			# Get the grle converter from GDN
			# Open the <mark>data</mark> folder of your map. Inside you should have a <mark>densityMap_ground.gdm</mark> file
			# Drag and drop this file onto <mark>convert.cmd</mark> which is part of the grle converter. A <mark>densityMap_ground.png</mark> image file should now be created automatically.
			# If this image file is in the folder of the grle converter, move it to the maps data folder (where the gdm file is)
			# Delete the <mark>densityMap_ground.gdm</mark> file, but keep the densityMap_ground.png file

			=== Field Ground xml ===
			The map will now need a custom fieldGround.xml

			# Check if you already have a fieldGround.xml or maps_fieldGround.xml. if you do, you can either edit it or delete it and replace it with a new one.
			# Go to the games installation folder (on windows this is C:/Program Files (x86)/FarmingSimulator2025 by default). Go into data -> maps and copy the maps_fieldGround.xml file there
			# Paste this file in your maps config or xml folder or alternatively in the same folder as the map i3d
			# Open this maps_fieldGround.xml file in a text editor
			# Go back to the game installation folder where you copied the file from and go into mapEU -> config (You may choose mapAS or mapUS instead of mapEU)
			# Open the fieldGround.xml file that can be found in this folder in a text editor and copy everything starting with <mark><sprayLevel</mark> and ending with <mark></fieldType></mark>
			# Paste this text into your new maps_fieldGrounds.xml file just above <mark></densityMaps></mark>. You can close the fieldGround.xml from the games installation now. Make sure to NOT save when doing so.
			# In your maps_fieldGround.xml find the line that starts with <mark><groundAngle</mark> and in this line change <mark>numChannels="3"</mark> to <mark>numChannels="8"</mark>
			# Find the line starting with <mark><sprayTypes</mark> and change <mark>firstChannel="7"</mark> to <mark>firstChannel="12"</mark>
			# Find the line starting with <mark><water</mark> and change <mark>firstChannel="10"</mark> to <mark>firstChannel="15"</mark>
			# If you wish to use custom infoLayers, change the paths in the filename attributes in the file to point to your own infoLayer files respectively. <mark>This is not necessary for the ground angles to work!</mark>
			# Save the file and close it

			=== Terrain Shader ===
			Now a small adjustment to the terrain shader needs to be made

			# In the folder where your map i3d is located, create a new folder and name it <mark>shaders</mark>, unless you already have a shaders folder there
			# Go to your games installation and there go to data -> shaders and copy terrainShader.xml
			# Paste the file into the shaders folder you created 2 steps above here and open the file in a text editor
			# Find this line: <mark>#define NUM_ROTATION_ANGLES 8</mark> and change the number 8 at the end of the line to 256. The line should now read <mark>#define NUM_ROTATION_ANGLES 256</mark>
			# Save the file and then you can close it

			=== Map xml and Giants Editor ===
			To finish adding the ground angles, the new maps_fieldGround.xml created above needs to be linked in the map xml and finally the map needs to be opened and saved in Giants Editor once to generate a new density map gdm.

			# Open your map.xml in a text editor
			# Check if it already contains a line starting with <mark><fieldGround</mark>.
			#* If it does, adjust the path in the filename attribute in that line to point to your new maps_fieldGround.xml
			#* If it does NOT, add the following line: <mark><fieldGround filename="map/maps_fieldGround.xml" /></mark> and adjust the path in filename="" to point to your maps_fieldGround.xml
			# Save the map xml
			# In Giants Editor, open your map and then save it. Then you can close it again
			# You can now delete the densityMap_ground<mark>.png</mark> in your maps data folder, as a new <mark>.gdm</mark> file should have been created

			=== DONE! ===
			Your map should now have 256 ground angles!

			Open it ingame and cultivate some circles or something! :)

			Note: This will probably break any existing savegames of that map!
