Work.

There’s not enough work in this game. It’s a bit far away from a simulation now. I’m not enamoured with production chains why do I want a warehouse and haulage operation when I’m meant to be farming hmm? There’s now literally a third party mod to harvest your crops for you! I know that’s third party...

Re: Two Methods to Increase Efficiency

Most grateful I’ve been after an in-line since fs19, it comes into its own in the wetter climes trying to overwinter fields before they’re a sodden mess these are seen quite a lot in the Benelux regions in Europe particularly for beets and tuber planting. Another unsung piece of kit I was pleasantly...

Re: New thoughts and ideas for the FS game

Logs in containers 👍🏻 What a joke… There should be more focus on sustainable ag with the whole “precision” angle. It’s still biased towards tillage and there’s a penalty for no till which is weird. Also there’s no issue with pouring chemicals into waterways as run off from your barren fields once yo...

Re: Griffin Indiana 22 Support Thread

OK, little bit of feedback for AJ- hook up the base game Kinze 3665 Blue Drive planter, (the one with the four-wheels-across carriage and the rotating frame) and drive up the road to the main farm. Hold on tight! (I'm on PS5, with the map fully updated.) Is this the kerb thing? I keep smashing into...

Re: Containers holding logs is the dumbest thing I've ever seen

They’ve absolutely lost the plot. The physics can’t handle an excavator swinging a single log you mean to tell me a tin box full of them isn’t gonna end up orbiting mars? The business model is now making money off of pointlessly shiny new equipment over and over again, guess we can look forward to “...

Re: Platinum Edition & Platinum Expansion Coming This November

I’m not about this expansion at all; I wish you’d put as much effort into “expanding” the “Farming” from the title not squeezing 💵 to hurl logs with broken physics at pointlessly shiny new equipment

Re: Griffin Indiana 22 Support Thread

Hi, AJ First thing is man I appreciate the speedy response. I completely understand the situation with the bug fixing and all like 100% if it ain’t working for folks that’s gotta take precedent right there. Glad the crops are under consideration. As the majority landowner in the town, ain’t no town ...

Re: Platinum Edition @ gamescom: New Trailer & Screenshots

Great, set another map in the US and fill it with European equipment. Can’t wait to cultivate those three fields with my own choice of 2.5m equipment from the 27,000 available All the decent us logging stuff is modded already, they duped the JD forward skidder thing off mod hub. Someone needs to go ...

Re: Strobel Bulk Tender

Looks great, I have already got a couple of those mods too so credit for them as well. Mentioning the US farms/ US equipment, thoughts on the lack of manure tankers? My number one gripe with Giants is selling Elmcreek to us as the flagship map but then such a weak offering of suitable US/ NA equipme...

Re: Griffin Indiana 22 Support Thread

I’m a big fan, let me just say. My only complaint is the baseball field, we spoke about this, it’s crushing my FofD vibes entirely this time, last time it was the chain link fence now it’s a whole stadium (😭) In all fairness I’ve not actually got a lot to feedback it’s like an old pair of overalls j...

Re: Unreal engine 5

They should just spin off the logging stuff into a standalone title. Eventually someone like snow tires devs gonna pick up that thread and absolutely trash Giants puny log physics. I wish I was a South American/ Brazilian farmer, they just quietly blaze their own trail modding their stuff despite a ...

Re: Brand suggestions for Giants

GEA and Meyer manufacturing.
They chose well with Vermeer but there are zero US slurry tankers and no front and side discharge forage wagons which is annoying.

Re: Dairy farm

It all affects the ESRB and PEGI ratings though it’s been a discussion since grapes were added there can’t be any meat or wine because it would lose the rating. As for dairies I’ve been harping about this for ages and I now think that because of the current situation with climate change and so on le...

Re: So anyone else more excited for the free dlc coming soon than the kubota dlc?

No, I’m not more excited for either. The AGI pack is a good step in the right direction and all and rightly should be free, it adds a real depth to the sorely underwhelming US experience, except for the prevalence of self driven augers and the non functional drier which grinds my gears. The PTO driv...
