multiplayer anything is always the most fun to me, regardless if its survival or production or any combination, playing with friends or making friends is always the best
yea the last few years i cant hardly do anything solo much anymore. guess im old lost the imagination. need someone there to talk too play with anymore. but finding someone u can do that with super hard
the way i play the game is i start 500.000 dollars then i buy land without a field with it buy myself the cheapest tractor and a chainsaw and the cheapest tralier then all the money left i just waste on leasing so my money can go near enough to 0 then i give back the leased items and then i work from scratch ive made like 30.000 dollars of of selling wood and i play on easy with economy and i dont have such things like withering weeds etc and nice video btw
For larger modern farms, automation is the most realistic. There’s no way one guy can farm 10,000 acres. There are always multiple people doing jobs at the same time.
Test Map is a great option to try out new mods before spending money to put things on your farm. It's a small download for consoles & a great way to experiment with equipment. Great video!
i totally agree... my No.10 save slot is my mod test map with 30 mil in the bank to buy anything i want and test it out before commiting to my lets play map
This makes me feel so old fashioned. haha. I am definitely pick a brand/theme and build around that. Fast farming and automation sound awful to me, but like you said that's the fun of it. We all pick what we like. IT's a huge, wonderful sandbox. :)
Not old fashioned at all, I think loads of people play like that, even me sometimes when I just want to enjoy myself, Nothing better than having a stack of cash and buying all the JD kit I can 😊 But you are right, isn’t it great we can all choose our own routes 👍 thanks for taking the time to comment 😊
I look at automation like this: if the real life farmers can have satellite/gps linked machines that can steer and start/stop implements for them, then I can have CoursePlay. Any time a truck or chaser bin pulls around, well that's just one of the family or a hired hand driving it.
@@louisianagator95 Thats an option id like to see on courseplay is it charge you based on how many vehicles you have going kinda like the hired drivers. Of course it should be just an option though.
Playing as automation is more like a Farming Sim Managing game. I did it a while back and was fun. :) Just save it as a different game. Also create a save game with money-cheat. Can be fun as well to learn the game for when you want to play it at best possible way in a later stage (and new save game)
I like the "develop your own map/survival." Currently on my 3rd run on Willamina. I like making my own roads and fields with no missions. And decorating the map like a town and adding production facilities as the money comes in from clearing all those trees. Sim Farmer on YT here is a good example of my playstyle. Bit of everything,
I've been playing this game on and off for a few months now, but so far, the only thing I know how to do with any level of competency is grow basic wheat crops lol. Never quite figured out root crops, or how to look after animals, or bailing, or how the whole slurry system works..... I have tried doing some logging, but only to remove a few annoyingly placed trees around my farm, and I was incredibly bad at it lol, but I can see how it could be fun (and quite satisfying) with a bit of practice. Despite my basic knowledge though, the game is still fun! (and oddly, since I got into the game, I now find tractors to be 'cool' lol. They're like agricultural Transformers and I love them lol)
This is literally me there is so much to the game for you to figure out but I like doing cattle and silage that’s my way of playing is hauling livestock and a mixture of light roleplay and just natural farming
I like the combination of 3 of these. Fast Farming+Automation+Production. Setting up massive automation runs to farm as much and as fast as possible while manually keeping production going, factories, animals etc.
old school farming... use lowest grade of equitment like they were using way back before they went high tech , i grew up using stuff from 1950-1970 on farm and sure it took long time and i like using biggest and baddest things in game but if you want to make it really hard for you then i would say basic stuff for farming will be one that make you want to quit game. i tried to get myself into large debt and then soon as i had paid off everything and really had bought all i wanted i grew tired of the game so it was old school ways
One category I think you missed out on was realistic. I love trying to play as realistically as possible. I play on 24 day seasons on a 5x timescale, I have to sleep 8 hours every night, I have to spend 15 minutes in game time servicing each piece of equipment in the morning before starting to use it (an air seeder with tractor would be 45 minutes-15 for the cart, 15 for the toolbar, 15 for the tractor; a combine and header would be 30 minutes-15 for the combine 15 for the header), I'm not allowed to do any field work if the ground is wet, I have to watch the weather before spraying as if I'm going to get rain in the next 36-48 hours I'm not allowed to spray, I make contracts to sell my grain and if I'm unable to deliver because I got rained out all fall I get large money penalties. It's quite enjoyable and something that I don't see many if any people do.
Hello @Joshua Doll I hope you reply, I’m looking to do something like this. But on 24 day seasons when there is nothing to do do you speed up time? And also what map are you playing this “game mode” on.
@@lancewhitfield4186 Yeah I quite often will only play for a few in game hours during the winter when I have no animals and will fast forward if I have nothing to do. Most of the time though there's always some field work to do during the other seasons; I rarely have spare time because I balance the size of my equipment to my land so that it will take the full season to get all my field work done. I typically play on 16x maps but have done this on 4x maps as well. I prefer the larger maps and it also makes it so that there's a lot of travel time involved so it's a bit more realistic that for example I may only get 2 or 3 truck loads hauled to the sell point in a day before I have to stop; it also means that there can be a lot of travel time depending on where your land is. I've spent a whole in game day just moving equipment from one field to another before. If you really want to you can also set opening hours for places like sell points, equipment dealership, bulk product buy stations, the bank, etc. meaning you could only perform actions involving those places between their opening times. There's a bunch of other niche things I do to try to emulate real life that slow the game down a bit but always make it so there's rarely a dull moment for me. The biggest thing to stress when trying this out though would be to balance the size of your equipment to your land. You can always adjust the timescale to suit your needs too; I play on 5x most of the time because I like to roleplay a bit and will stop to take screenshots and such but you can adjust this to however you want to play; I think 15x would work just fine for this too depending on how into the realistic/roleplay side you want to get. Maybe you enjoy working through the night and don't want to simulate requiring sleep which gives you more work hours in a day and means you can crank up the timescale more. I typically shoot for roughly 2-3 real life hours for an average in game work day but you could shorten that or stretch it to your liking.
@@joshuadoll9000 amazing 👍 I’m doing this on console so I do have some restriction. I am doing this on millennial farmers map, I think 24 day seasons is to long for me at least, especially when trying to balance out school. So I’m doing 9 days, but after after I get more land after winter I will prob go up to 12 days.
i am a trucker and i do play ets and ats and my brother dont know how i can play a game that is like my job , i also grew up on farm and i still play fs19 :D
I'm a hard worker and tend to do everything the hard way despite being so tempted to automate at times. But yes there are a ton of ways to play this game and thanks to all the modders and map makers it is possible to expand and explore.
As someone brand new to the franchise, and playing on X-Box Series X, I liked the Felsbrunn map over Ravenport immediately, but then discovered No Man's Land in the Mods menu after the first week, and have focused almost all of my work into that map on Farm Manager mode, but I like the idea of challenging myself with Start From Scratch, so once I become a bit more familiar with overall gameplay, which machines I prefer and which animals I'd rather raise, I'll definitely take that route.
Seasoned player here with more than 1000 hours. My preferred way to play is a mix of survival, challenge and roleplay. My best campaign so far: I played the role of a young man who inherited a small field, but has only 20 000$ and a poor credit score (so no loan from the bank). So I choose a map, start the game, choose a field, buy it and sell ALL available equipment. Then I shut down the game and I edit the farm.xml file to remove all the money ...to only keep 20 000$. So in the end, I start with a field and 20 000$. And I NEVER use teleport thru TAB key. This is the most fun I had so far.
My favorite way to play is Trucking. Transporting crops, cattle and supplies to/from sell points and farms. I love my work truck. Use it all the time for smaller loads as well as snow plow. Just wish the snow was more realistic.
ways to have fun in fs19 if you are bored: 1) learn how to create mods or maps(takes 10-15 mins to learn all, you can find tutorials in the giants editor forum page) 2) install mod 3) create a savegame with money hack(dont use your importants savegames) and test vehicles! 4) have animals and expand your farm! 5) make a map of your town or create a mod of whatever you want! Greetings From Uruguay!
I love to play with old machinery only. Another fun way is with the better contracts mod you can do more contracts at once, and basically play as a company where you can hire machinery from and do all the work for the other farmers on your map. This way you will need to go to every corner of the map and basically every field. It adds alot of challenges too, like maintaining your vehicles on the spot, and try to refill them while they are nowhere near a shop or your "base" etc. And logging is another way i like to play the game. Yes it is a challenge but once you figure out what machinery suits you the best, it can be quite fun!
Yes love better contracts, I did a short series where I was a contractor on the Deere Country map, I was supplied all the latest kit by The JD factory to test, it was great fun, I need to go back to it at some point
I like real life "hacks". So, real life chainsaws can de-stump a tree. And a winch tied to a tractor can drag a tree around. And stores do deliver a new tractor to your doorstep, or you can hire someone to do it.
Technically I'm doing speed farming, but only because I'm playing Pleasantville 2 on the 16x size. There's a 712 hectare field. it took about 54 hours straight to plow it with two workers going 24/7
That's where you get Courseplay, plot a 5 tractor course, send them off and wait 20 mins and then you send 5 more with cultivators/fertilizers and another 20 mins later you send another 5 that seed. judging by your speed for 2 workers you get it done in about 24 hours, and it's gone from not plowed to seeded.
Great video, I didn't realise this was a thing, i still play 17 as i can't buy a gpu. To answer your question on how we play, when i started i decided no debt and no animals. I have 605 hrs all the fields and most of the equipment in the standard map. I also have no mods, i did try the Fiatagree tractor but it caused some issues, (i can't remember exactly what) so when i built a new pc i did not reinstall the mod. I have bought 19 and have avoided looking at the gameplay, but it looks good. I can't wait to get a new GPU and launch it but i also have set the task of all the non animal specific machinery first as experiance has taught me i probably won't go back ounce i launch 19. HAHA imagine if it takes so long to get a GPU that i go strainght to 21... It's possible.
I'm really into the realism mods like traction, terrain reaction, seasons ect with large scale logging. I use dual t16000m joysticks to run large processor excavators like FDR modd
Usually a british or European map, always realistic, either starting with 250000 or with a medium farm. The only proper way to play fs. Also a bit of multiplayer in streamers' servers.
My FS Game Play suggestion to those that need to focus. pack your Can Do attitude in with your lunch. because seat time and hands on time, is all the time you will have in this game. make money..what ever you do, make sure it pays. meaning, your not turning a profit until that harvest sells or that contract work is done. the landscape tool - is for tools and theyre money..so Stay Off the landscaping Tool. dont spoil your diner, and cheat in money. earn it by working your farm. turning a profit for your farm is your main priority. get it out of the red and into the black, and start adding some commas. now your farming.
Great, yes I don’t use Seasons all the time, sometimes it’s fun to play in a relaxed way, the most important thing is is you are having fun that’s the key 👍
Why is it cheating? Everyone like their own style of playing. They paid for the game if they like to get mods that help them with lots of things then it's the way they enjoy playing.
I meant to say this in your last video but I'll say it here. I like the new intro job well done. Personally, I have played 6 out of your 8. I may have to give the other 2 a go.
Different ways I play. Organic farm, no chemicals used, only fertilizer used is Animal byproducts produced by my animals, taking into consideration crop rotation as well. Limited starting budget. Start off with older equipment and save up for better equipment ( Much like survival ) No helpers. Often times on mod maps helpers mess up all the time anyways so I just don't bother.
My favorite so far was No Man's Land, From Scratch, 24 day seasons, no money, no debt allowed, one chainsaw and a pickup. I lost the file recently and had to start again but I was 6 years in and had 4M in cash and a few hundred thousand liters of milk stored for higher prices. To your point about different ways to play I have been playing for a couple years now and never planted a thing. No farming. I've never even broken ground.
@@TheFarmSimGuy I made purchases at low prices and stored them selling later at higher prices. I had sheep, horses, pigs etc... I cut trees of course. The farming just seemed too many steps and too much equipment for afford and to store. Great game though
So, I actually bought the mobile version before I bought the game for my PC. In the mobile game, you could hire helpers to drive equipment to any point on the map, as well as for tasks like go to the filling station and refuel, go to the car wash to clean the equipment, haul a load of something to sell at one of the businesses, and if you were using a harvester of some sort, you could honk the horn and a helper would pull the nearest trailer up to you so you could unload. From what I've noticed, these functions are not available in the PC version, which really is an annoyance. When I want to buy a new piece of equipment for example, I have to drop everything I'm doing to go pick it up from the store and UNGA, UNGA, UNGA, my way across the map at 10 mph (if its a slower machine) to where I'm working, where as in the mobile version I could have just simply hired someone to drive the machine to where it needed to go, rather than halting production for an hour just so I can putz around trying to get something from point A to B. Another example would be, there's a task that requires two pieces of equipment, but I can only drive one thing at a time, so rather than hiring someone to drive one thing to the destination while I drive the other, I have to drive one there, then waste time going back and moving the other where it needs to go. I think I've rambled on about this enough, so my question is, is auto drive a good solution to this problem? I simply don't understand why the developers took away this option for having helpers be able to do these tasks, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong.
Check out store deliveries mod, you can get it delivered directly to your farm without even needing to send a helper. and yes Autodrive is a great solution to this problem. but I agree with you, it's a shame that functionality is in the mobile version and not the full game (although they are completely different games from the ground up so that might explain why it's not transitioned across both games)
How about the "hobo contractor mode" where you just work for others doing contracts. You do a start from scratch and just do contract work and borrow equipment... avoid the sowing and fertilizing ones until you get capital to buy seeds/etc
i'm having an issue with the italia map, the lizard pallets pack's single bags are spawning most of the way in the ground and it ain't letting me get them out, i did find a set of 2 mods that do mostly the same thing, polish seed pallets, and chicken food bag, they are both on pc (and maybe console) modhub, when you try to install the polish seed pack it wants you to download realseeds, but you don't have to.
Fast farming, on multiplayer, with Courseplay was my favourite in fs17. Havent tried in 19 with courseplay. And i really miss the user interface of the GPS mod from 17.
Thats how i started no mans. I began with a lawn mower, a trailer, and built a little town to sell stuff in. Sadly my hard drive died and i completely lost about a hundred hours or more and havent had the heart to start again.
When you have children, video games become obsolete, and the real game begins. I do miss video games though. I think I don't have the sensitivity to enjoy them anymore.
I have too kids who are a bit older now and it’s definitely easier to relax and play some games again butI know what you mean, go on fire up a game again, you might surprise yourself 👍
personally enjoy the last one as u called it automation. i call it deligation lol. but seriosuly ur 1 person on big farm real life u dont have time to run everything. so you have your workers. ofc many dif ways to run that. sadly i never could get that to work right in fs 19.... 17 i could have 4 combines running same field, 4 tractors keeping them empty, and 2 or 3 semis running back and forth all automated i just had to watch for the occasional crash and reset stuff. i enjoy the 4x maps squares and doing all that managing. again for me never could get that fun out of 19.... hope 22 does it right.
Nice video, again! I'd like to play online, I tried sometimes, but I am a serious guy, like you, FSG. I'm an Administrator, so I built spreadsheets to help me take better decisions in game. I have just one friend that plays like me, but now he is very busy. Hey, what is a TP map or TP Mods?
Actually I found a mod called "Real Speed" which allows you to turn the implement speed limiter of and run as fast as your tractor can using in game controls just like the ones you use to control your tractor.
Are you able to buy land in the new farmer mod. I have 3 games going and I’m not able to buy land. I’m not sure if I have something turned off or wrong career mod. By the way love your videos. And I would love to get one of your hats.

Great vid, but you forgot one essential way to play the game: enjoying it without restraining yourself in any way of gameplay :D
You are right Joffrey, just turn it on an play the game, nothing better than that 👍
multiplayer anything is always the most fun to me, regardless if its survival or production or any combination, playing with friends or making friends is always the best
yea the last few years i cant hardly do anything solo much anymore. guess im old lost the imagination. need someone there to talk too play with anymore. but finding someone u can do that with super hard
@@FastDuDeJiunn same with me I’m kinda drifting away from the game and need some folks to talk to I miss farming on the game
Whose here after watching Amazons new show Clarksons Farm and is looking into playing the game.
Great stuff, definitely give it a go you’ll not regret it 👍
yep aha
Yes indeed, that show has shown me farming is actually extremely interesting and exciting
I feel like alot of people are going to want to play 22 because of clarksons farm
I played it before but I’ve whatched it it’s kinda funny he don’t have a clue what farming is
Great summary as always👍not sure I deserve to be included in the same sentence as FDR, but thank you for sharing my series! 🙏❤️

Seasoned player here with more than 1000 hours. My preferred way to play is a mix of survival, challenge and roleplay. My best campaign so far: I played the role of a young man who inherited a small field, but has only 20 000$ and a poor credit score (so no loan from the bank). So I choose a map, start the game, choose a field, buy it and sell ALL available equipment. Then I shut down the game and I edit the farm.xml file to remove all the money ...to only keep 20 000$. So in the end, I start with a field and 20 000$. And I NEVER use teleport thru TAB key. This is the most fun I had so far.
Brilliant love this style of play! 😊👍
Great video, good it’s short too
This is such an underrated channel, anyone who likes daggerwin should give this channel a go
Thanks Dakota that's an extremely nice thing to say! I appreciate it
Constantly learning! Thanks for this
My pleasure!
My favorite way to play is Trucking. Transporting crops, cattle and supplies to/from sell points and farms. I love my work truck. Use it all the time for smaller loads as well as snow plow. Just wish the snow was more realistic.
Nice, that's a different and really interesting way to play! love it
"Logging... its just like marmite" 🤣
love Marmite...hate logging. :)
I used to think logging sucked until I downloaded for loggings mods and logging is fun now
I quite like forestry
Autodrive is incredibly challenging and rewarding when everything finally works. I love it.
Totally agree 👍
I just found your channel and I absolutely love your videos. You've given me some fresh ideas to breath life into this game. Thank you.
Welcome Dan, great to have you hear and that I've provided a bit of inspiration 👍
ways to have fun in fs19 if you are bored:
1) learn how to create mods or maps(takes 10-15 mins to learn all, you can find tutorials in the giants editor forum page)
2) install mod
3) create a savegame with money hack(dont use your importants savegames) and test vehicles!
4) have animals and expand your farm!
5) make a map of your town or create a mod of whatever you want!
Greetings From Uruguay!
Great suggestions thanks 🙏🏻 😊
I love to play with old machinery only.
Another fun way is with the better contracts mod you can do more contracts at once, and basically play as a company where you can hire machinery from and do all the work for the other farmers on your map. This way you will need to go to every corner of the map and basically every field. It adds alot of challenges too, like maintaining your vehicles on the spot, and try to refill them while they are nowhere near a shop or your "base" etc.
And logging is another way i like to play the game. Yes it is a challenge but once you figure out what machinery suits you the best, it can be quite fun!
Yes love better contracts, I did a short series where I was a contractor on the Deere Country map, I was supplied all the latest kit by The JD factory to test, it was great fun, I need to go back to it at some point
Farm Wars too! I run a multiplayer server where we have 4 teams against each other to gain the most assets/money. It's a fun way to play!
Nice idea I like it 👍
I like real life "hacks". So, real life chainsaws can de-stump a tree. And a winch tied to a tractor can drag a tree around.
And stores do deliver a new tractor to your doorstep, or you can hire someone to do it.
Your videos are excellent. I’ve had FS19 for a year and still haven’t played it, maybe now is the time
You should!
Excellent little video FSG as always, providing some good food for thought for any play, new or old.
Great video, you are amazing, and I love your videos keep up the good work and make such great videos! 🎉
Thank you so much!
رائع جدا انت مميز كالعادة .. شكرا لك
DUDE THIS TOOK 19 SECONDS THX BRO SPEEDY FIX
Great, not sure what you fixed but I’m pleased for you 😂👍
I cant wait til the next one comes out and see what they do with it. I hope they add diggable dirt.
Wait you forgot about ranching where you raise and sell livestock
Hmmm I was not expecting to see dagerwin's survival series
like it or not hard not to talk about him in any kind of farming sim game. i would assume he most popular. done a lot for farm sim community.
Subbed very intresting content.
Awesome, thank you!
I wonder if draggerwin seen this. Lol his survival roleplay series has been so good.
I’m sure he hasn’t but I’m a huge fan of his 👍
Great video neather fought off all off thes
Yeah I've adopted a more survival based style of late. It's a great challenge and I can't get enough of it.
Great, the challenge is addictive isn't it
I like to do something similar to surviving.
Only a few thousand €, and only oldtimer equipment
Love that way of playing!
What I mostly do in farming simulator 19 is construction!
Technically I'm doing speed farming, but only because I'm playing Pleasantville 2 on the 16x size. There's a 712 hectare field. it took about 54 hours straight to plow it with two workers going 24/7
That's where you get Courseplay, plot a 5 tractor course, send them off and wait 20 mins and then you send 5 more with cultivators/fertilizers and another 20 mins later you send another 5 that seed. judging by your speed for 2 workers you get it done in about 24 hours, and it's gone from not plowed to seeded.
Great video, I didn't realise this was a thing, i still play 17 as i can't buy a gpu. To answer your question on how we play, when i started i decided no debt and no animals. I have 605 hrs all the fields and most of the equipment in the standard map. I also have no mods, i did try the Fiatagree tractor but it caused some issues, (i can't remember exactly what) so when i built a new pc i did not reinstall the mod. I have bought 19 and have avoided looking at the gameplay, but it looks good. I can't wait to get a new GPU and launch it but i also have set the task of all the non animal specific machinery first as experiance has taught me i probably won't go back ounce i launch 19. HAHA imagine if it takes so long to get a GPU that i go strainght to 21... It's possible.
Haha nice, yes with the GPU market as it is, you might just get one for FS22 😂
I love automation 😃
I'm really into the realism mods like traction, terrain reaction, seasons ect with large scale logging. I use dual t16000m joysticks to run large processor excavators like FDR modd
Sounds great, I’ve heard a lot of good things about dual joysticks being the way forward for logging 👍
I try to mix a lot of styles, realistic, automation, forestry etc. it’s great fun
Usually a british or European map, always realistic, either starting with 250000 or with a medium farm. The only proper way to play fs. Also a bit of multiplayer in streamers' servers.
Nice! A purist, I like it 👍
My FS Game Play suggestion to those that need to focus. pack your Can Do attitude in with your lunch. because seat time and hands on time, is all the time you will have in this game. make money..what ever you do, make sure it pays. meaning, your not turning a profit until that harvest sells or that contract work is done. the landscape tool - is for tools and theyre money..so Stay Off the landscaping Tool. dont spoil your diner, and cheat in money. earn it by working your farm. turning a profit for your farm is your main priority. get it out of the red and into the black, and start adding some commas. now your farming.
Wise words Big Rich!! The sense of satisfaction from playing this way is huge 👍
Im always planning with small or medium machines on small and medium maps without seasons because ita easy and ik enjoy it a lot That way
Playing
Great, yes I don’t use Seasons all the time, sometimes it’s fun to play in a relaxed way, the most important thing is is you are having fun that’s the key 👍
I just like logging or playing realistic but my friends hate both, they are more cheater
Why is it cheating? Everyone like their own style of playing. They paid for the game if they like to get mods that help them with lots of things then it's the way they enjoy playing.
I meant to say this in your last video but I'll say it here. I like the new intro job well done. Personally, I have played 6 out of your 8. I may have to give the other 2 a go.
Thanks buddy 👍
Different ways I play.
Organic farm, no chemicals used, only fertilizer used is Animal byproducts produced by my animals, taking into consideration crop rotation as well.
Limited starting budget. Start off with older equipment and save up for better equipment ( Much like survival )
No helpers. Often times on mod maps helpers mess up all the time anyways so I just don't bother.
Nice options, I really like the organic route!!
My favorite so far was No Man's Land, From Scratch, 24 day seasons, no money, no debt allowed, one chainsaw and a pickup. I lost the file recently and had to start again but I was 6 years in and had 4M in cash and a few hundred thousand liters of milk stored for higher prices. To your point about different ways to play I have been playing for a couple years now and never planted a thing. No farming. I've never even broken ground.
Sounds great, I take it you just mowed grass/silage to feed the cows?
@@TheFarmSimGuy I made purchases at low prices and stored them selling later at higher prices. I had sheep, horses, pigs etc... I cut trees of course. The farming just seemed too many steps and too much equipment for afford and to store. Great game though
Start from scratch, small field and the cheapest vehicles.
From saved up money, you improve one item at the time.
I love this way of playing! very rewarding
So, I actually bought the mobile version before I bought the game for my PC. In the mobile game, you could hire helpers to drive equipment to any point on the map, as well as for tasks like go to the filling station and refuel, go to the car wash to clean the equipment, haul a load of something to sell at one of the businesses, and if you were using a harvester of some sort, you could honk the horn and a helper would pull the nearest trailer up to you so you could unload. From what I've noticed, these functions are not available in the PC version, which really is an annoyance. When I want to buy a new piece of equipment for example, I have to drop everything I'm doing to go pick it up from the store and UNGA, UNGA, UNGA, my way across the map at 10 mph (if its a slower machine) to where I'm working, where as in the mobile version I could have just simply hired someone to drive the machine to where it needed to go, rather than halting production for an hour just so I can putz around trying to get something from point A to B. Another example would be, there's a task that requires two pieces of equipment, but I can only drive one thing at a time, so rather than hiring someone to drive one thing to the destination while I drive the other, I have to drive one there, then waste time going back and moving the other where it needs to go. I think I've rambled on about this enough, so my question is, is auto drive a good solution to this problem? I simply don't understand why the developers took away this option for having helpers be able to do these tasks, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong.
Check out store deliveries mod, you can get it delivered directly to your farm without even needing to send a helper. and yes Autodrive is a great solution to this problem. but I agree with you, it's a shame that functionality is in the mobile version and not the full game (although they are completely different games from the ground up so that might explain why it's not transitioned across both games)
@@TheFarmSimGuy Thanks for the reply, I'll have to check those mods out.
i like farming with old equipment
A great way to play!
too bad there’s like none on console
Had this game for 12 months on my console and never touched it being a dairy farmer, I wish I hadn't now because I'm addicted
I think there's a lot of people in that boat 😂
How about the "hobo contractor mode" where you just work for others doing contracts. You do a start from scratch and just do contract work and borrow equipment... avoid the sowing and fertilizing ones until you get capital to buy seeds/etc
I like the idea of that 👍
Yukon river valley is that just for pc or can I get it for PS4?
Just PC
i'm having an issue with the italia map, the lizard pallets pack's single bags are spawning most of the way in the ground and it ain't letting me get them out, i did find a set of 2 mods that do mostly the same thing, polish seed pallets, and chicken food bag, they are both on pc (and maybe console) modhub, when you try to install the polish seed pack it wants you to download realseeds, but you don't have to.
Probably something you want to get in touch with the map maker about
What was the map you used as the background for the challenge mode?
Newpark Farm from Peter716
Fast farming, on multiplayer, with Courseplay was my favourite in fs17. Havent tried in 19 with courseplay. And i really miss the user interface of the GPS mod from 17.
Lets hope they think about some nice interface upgrades for FS22 👍
Nice video 💪🙂
this game looks like alot of fun, tho in reality its just a working simulator.. but this video did make it alot less grindy..
I love just getting lawn mowers and cutting grass
Thats how i started no mans. I began with a lawn mower, a trailer, and built a little town to sell stuff in. Sadly my hard drive died and i completely lost about a hundred hours or more and havent had the heart to start again.
When you have children, video games become obsolete, and the real game begins. I do miss video games though. I think I don't have the sensitivity to enjoy them anymore.
I have too kids who are a bit older now and it’s definitely easier to relax and play some games again butI know what you mean, go on fire up a game again, you might surprise yourself 👍
personally enjoy the last one as u called it automation. i call it deligation lol. but seriosuly ur 1 person on big farm real life u dont have time to run everything. so you have your workers. ofc many dif ways to run that. sadly i never could get that to work right in fs 19.... 17 i could have 4 combines running same field, 4 tractors keeping them empty, and 2 or 3 semis running back and forth all automated i just had to watch for the occasional crash and reset stuff. i enjoy the 4x maps squares and doing all that managing. again for me never could get that fun out of 19.... hope 22 does it right.
Personally I mainly play with the seasons mod so it forces me to go and do logging during winter
Nice!!
With the fast farming there is a new mod out called "real speed limit" and it allows for the work speed to match the cruise speed
Yes that's a great mod 👍
nice vid :)
Thanks glad you enjoyed it 👍
Nice video, again! I'd like to play online, I tried sometimes, but I am a serious guy, like you, FSG. I'm an Administrator, so I built spreadsheets to help me take better decisions in game. I have just one friend that plays like me, but now he is very busy. Hey, what is a TP map or TP Mods?
Where can I find that big digger you were using like for the quarry and the giant dump truck
Is there a mod to simulate regenerative agriculture?
With cover crops, multi-crop, no-tillage, animal integration etc.?
I don't believe so
Whats the Map Name on 7:25? Its looks Perfekt for Automation game! Thanks!
That's the Mod Test Map, you can get it from the in game ModHub 👍
whats the big case drill near the end of the video called ?
It’s the CASE 1265 planter 👍
@@TheFarmSimGuy brilliant thank you
Actually I found a mod called "Real Speed" which allows you to turn the implement speed limiter of and run as fast as your tractor can using in game controls just like the ones you use to control your tractor.
Ah yes I forgot about that mod, another good way of doing fast farming 👍
@@TheFarmSimGuy I use that mod on all my farms, also is there a trusted site where I can get the JD 9 RX?
Yes Custom Modding’s Facebook page, they have a link to a google sheet with all their mods on it
@@TheFarmSimGuy I have it in game now, and I just wanted to say thank you for helping me find it.
I do fast farming with 6 day seasons. Sleep anytime mod so I can advance when there's nothing left to do for the day.
Nice 👍
What map is that with the drag line and dump truck at the intro?
Yukon River Valley
I use older machines
Drive all vehicles in first person
And for vehicles with a steering wheel i use my own wheel and pedals
Nice! I like the always driving in first person approach 👍
Are you able to buy land in the new farmer mod. I have 3 games going and I’m not able to buy land. I’m not sure if I have something turned off or wrong career mod. By the way love your videos. And I would love to get one of your hats.
