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.

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.

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 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!
