I agree with everyone as well; AI workers are fine to use in this challenge. In my opinion, they are just as legit as greenhouses. You had to pay the initial upfront cost of having to buy a second tractor, and then they still have an ongoing cost of fuel and worker payments whenever you want to use them. A good way to invest into passive income so you can progress and grow a bit faster.
The enjoyment in the series comes from the gradual progression not watching you bang out contract after contract. For sure use your tools at hand! It's not like the AI work is free work.
Yeah that's a good point! And I still have to pay for the fuel and equipment maintenance which further cuts into the profits... Thanks for the feedback!
Firstly Great series. I'm new to Farming sim so avidly watching these episodes. Regarding AI workers.... As its your business it doesn't make financial sense to have machinery not being utilized. With regard to the silage additive... I noticed in my game the little John Deer doesn't always bring up the complete tools list in the 'F1'menu. I wasn't doing grass but planting trees and the Start/Stop and Lower planter wasn't listed. I enabled the AI worker and away she went. Adding a different tractor brought the 'fixed' menu back. "B" (for PC) should Start/Stop the Silage additive. Researching indicates its not automatic- you have to Start the silage additive. Whether there are additional bugs with the wee John Deer and the trailer you're using is another matter.
Good choice on the new tractor, that will make life easier for you. Nothing wrong with hiring AI workers, every farm needs to hire extra help occasionally. Great episode
Also, I agree with the consensus. You should definitely use AI to help improve the situation. You’ve worked hard to get a second tractor. Take advantage and put em both to work for the farm.
I think you can use the AI workers as much as you want. If it was free I might be against it but since it costs money and actually part of the game I say go for it!
Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the current color, but that's the only option in the base game... I was thinking about installing the color customizer mod which I think lets you put custom colors on everything
You invested in the machinery that gives you the ability to hire employees to work for you. Why would anyone in that position not utilize the equipment? You did all the work to put yourself in the position to grow faster and ease your burden, so utilize it sir. AI workers is only logical. Also definitely a good purchase in the tractor. Do something to make yourself happy. You certainly earned it. Great content thus far.
Workers arent free, so I think using them is fine. Perhaps theres a mod that increases the cost of them a little more to make them more punishing to use?
You own a business, and you are being self made. Make your life easier and more enjoyable. Hire some employees! It's not cheating, you are providing jobs for the community! Team work makes the dream work. If you want to make it feel like you arnt cheating, limit yourself on how many employees you can have based on how many years you have been playing or something like that. Since you've only played a year and a half only be able to hire one employee. More importantly, hiring employees saves you time in real life which is more valuable than the challenge itself.
I only use workers on contracts if there's 2 jobs, like harvesting jobs. I fill the trailer, then hire a worker to run the combine while I cart to the sale point. Using workers on my land is fine, but it feels weird to me to basically subcontract jobs lol
I think that, that specific Forage Wagon is bugged, same thing happened to me and i couldn t figure out why it doesen t work, until i bought a different one and now it works just fine(i am talking about the Silage Additive).I am okay with you using AI to do any work, i think that it is faire.
Yep, I went to one of the bigger wagons and the additive works quite well, I didn't do a before and after run to see if the 5% was in effect or not though
You can't drive two tractors at the same time in real life either. I think using ai while you are doing something else keeps the spirit. Running ai while you afk would break the spirit

Really enjoying this series, man. I travel a lot for work, so I play vicariously through your episodes while I’m away from my farm. Keep ‘em coming!

Also the new tractor painted in White or Silver would be sweet 😁

Alright so you asked how far you should take this series? Last episode at a billion. True rags to riches. Need more episodes than 2 a week.
Farmhands seem definitely legit. Also I am pretty sure fuel costs go under "Misc". Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the feedback!

Good points, and good suggestion! Thanks for the feedback!
The way I handle contracts and AI is I'm okay with it as long as it's with my own equipment. I don't like doing any contracts with borrowed equipment.
You could also limit the number of contracts that an AI employee can do each day too.

Terimakasih sudah menemani begadang ku 🤗
Im definitely OK with you using AI workers to handle some contracts. You bought the equipment in a true "survival" fashion. Reap the reward!
finnaly i was waiting for new episode keep uplounding videos bro greeting from serbia
Glad you're enjoying the series, definitely more to come!
While waiting for this episode i have seen the series almost twice.
Wow! Thank you so much for the support, really happy you're enjoying the series!
New episode yes ❤
Great video keep up the great work 👍
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the series!

Thanks for the advice, I guess I will have to try to upgrade my forage wagon soon!
Yep, I went to one of the bigger wagons and the additive works quite well, I didn't do a before and after run to see if the 5% was in effect or not though
Whooohoo 🙌🏼

If using AI workers is a way for you to spend less time doing contracts off camera, I don't see a problem.
The roads between your field why don't you just link it into 1 big field? That's probably what I would do with them so close together.
That is the plan! Just haven't got around to buying a plow yet, but I'm probably going to do that soon!
Use workers
i think if u use ai workers u need to buy the houses for them, would be interesting
that doesnt make much sense.... you already pay for using them
farmhands often live on the property
Thanks for the suggestion!
