From Ireland to France! - Castelnaud - Restrictive Hard Economy - Episode 1 - Farming Simulator 22

  • After the passing of an estranged relative I was presented an opportunity to sell everything I had built in Ireland and take on an entirely new challenge in France. I bought a "hundreds of years old" dairy farm in the mountains and am sort of starting from scratch and with a number of game play restrictions that will bring a tear to my eye at some point I'm sure. There's nothing official about the following, just some stuff I'll try to stick to and also to work into the "story line". Hopefully this will be casual farming in the hills of France but I guess time will tell!
    Map - Castelnaud by ‪@MA7Studio‬
    Economy - Hard
    2 Days per Month
    Seasons - On
    All the other stuff - On
    Starting loan balance and term - $1,200,000 to be paid over 8 years at 3.5%
    Monthly payment - $15,000 (approx)
    I am starting with a farm and some land and also approx $150K in cash that I had from Ireland.
    Leasing - allowed
    Fermenting silos are forbidden in this region.
    If a production exists on the map it must be bought and activated before I can consider putting up a production. If I sell the map production, I must get rid of my placed production.
    If a sell point exist on the map I may not add an additional sell point.
    No super strength.
    Autoload can be used for productions only, not for picking up bales or trees.
    These rules/restrictions may be updated from time-to-time.

    I forgot to mention... I believe that you will love the "extended animations pack".
    It will make all buildings that have doors, gates, windows...open and close by "presence" range.
    everything that have animated doors , gates , windows...etc.

      some mods...are to make it easier and not like "money cheat", are just to make it easier and save time.
      There is a difference between cheat, exploiting, and making it easier.
      and after so many hours since fs13...it is easy to restart.
      The way that I always play... helps me to learn how to beat the game.
      hard work, repeated...patience, and the joy of driving...same with Euro truck sim2.
      Free time to spend playing it.
      When playing in 16x, 4x size maps...using a plow at 10mp/h or a harvest at 10mp/h isn't a cheat...because of the "time".
      of course, not at 50mp/h...or with super width tools... sometimes the unrealistic capacity of "load" is quite handy to save time between "legs" of trips. back and forwards...
      for example, the tardis series from Oma Tana... helps a lot.
      but are cheats to make the work easier. not to work for you.
      about the open gardens...I don't like the speed...is too much.
      But I like to have some small solar panels and windmills as generators, but only a few of them...water mills as decoration...etc.
      no exploits.

    Bring your cell phone with you when talking with the locals, talk in to phone then push translate to French, works both ways, so helpful, I used it in Germany about 4 years back. Sorry if its just part of the story line. Like the big move and the rules you have setup, looks like a cool series, well done again Northern.

      Hey Ken, thanks. I’ve been addicted to fermenting silos for a while now so it’s time to break the habit! Thankfully, the local council has a ban on them…
      That’s a good idea to use translator… Might be a good way around some of the language barriers that I think you would find in mountainous, rural France.

      I remember growing up we had a family friend who sounded a lot like Chrétien. The kids would always gather around and tell him to say things because we always thought it sounded so funny.

    Hey I love the map... I have played on it, but for me the way of making money after a while is even in hard mode a bit to simple and then I move to another map and start fresh most of the time...
    I think you can make a use of the silage clamps by storing the silage bales in them... and then store the hay and grass bales in the sheep attic...
    Also I love the smaller machinery on the farm and the rules and story you setup...
    and maybe another tip... because you are farming on quite some hills, you can use the massey or fendt balers which push over the bale after wrapping (only those bales wrap themselves immidiatly when you use only grass for a grass bale...)
    Good Luck with the progress, I enjoyed the video.. Its a bit to slow for me, but i still liked this one very much...
    So not that you have to change anything for me.. I like the style of your playing very much..

    • @northernfarmsim
      @northernfarmsim  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey thanks. I'm the same way...it starts out difficult and then I find a way to make it easier and then move on....
      I'm going to go square bales and silage pit...that should save me from chasing round bales down a hill. lol.
      I think as I settle into a pace on this map it's going to be a slow one...it just feels like a slow paced kind of map....But I'm glad you liked it!

    to plow... use the lizard 6/9mts. get the 6 mts width. you can attach from both plow sides. one side it will let you to go at 8mp/h and no "high" hp required.
    btw...the turbo whistle is quite loud and all time. no big deal, maybe just lower the engine sound a little that will be fine.

Unfortunately, I’ve already recorded the second episode and maybe some of the third so it won’t come right away, but I definitely don’t want to drive a tractor. That is annoying people, lol. if I wanted to do that, I would just drive a John Deere… Just kidding. I’m not brand loyal, but it’s fun to make fun of John Deere.
