FS22 Sky: GIANTS plz fix

The rain is pouring down, the sound of thunder echoes about, the chickens make nervous chicken noises. This is gonna be a bad one. I look up. To see a beautiful blue sky. Huh? I reload the game and the scene resets itself. This time some scattered clouds have moved overhead, it looks mildly cloudy w...

Re: How to get the useless silos in ElmCreek to hold crops

Making them decoration only on release was poor especially as it was on the welcome screen then to still not alter that on the patch and only make them removable was a very poor solution *thumbsdown* *thumbsdown* Wait, they're removable?? I didn't even know that. I will just remove them. But first ...

How to get the useless silos in ElmCreek to hold crops

I bought the farm that's pictured on the welcome screen of ElmCreek with the beautiful but useless barn and silos. I am determined to work around the stupid buildings (why Giants can't just make them useable is so negligent imo - it seems to make the map almost unplayable to me). I placed a sleep tr...

Re: Hard economy cost/income evaluation of fieldwork.

Some bits to add.. During the measure year, the tractor got an additional 17004 seconds operating time and harvester 4185 seconds. That's altogether 5.88 hours. Some time used driving between shop/repair point, gas station and field, but if I had used helper for 5 hours that would be 5 * $1800 hour...

Re: generators

So I saw that a medium wind generator supposedly would pay itself off in 11 months; I chuckled nervously, went all in and dropped the 155,000. It is summer and its only paying me about 1/4 what was stated, so now we see we made a poor investment. We are aware it's summer and perhaps the wind will pi...

Re: Collectibles - For those of you who don't know

There is a second invisible toy at the back of the boat. You get only a message in the help bar, that you can select it. Or the one at the top at the farmer market or the one in the flowerpot... At the end there are a few, really hart to find or to see... but youtube is your friend! I was able to f...

Re: So much rolling!!! Like seriously always rolling!

Not a requirement, but if you want to do it, you get a tiny yield bump. It's a large yield hit if you have plowing turned off and don't plow. There's no other way to get rid of weeds. Herbicide only takes them down 50% if you only disk. And I don't feel like plowing every time I plant corn (every y...

Re: Financial Statements for FS

I was telling my husband yesterday we need financial statements. I'm not good enough at Excel to create it and, further, am not experienced enough in farming to know what is needed. This is great! Thank you. Thanks! I haven't updated these for FS22 yet, I've been too busy preparing real FS's lol. H...

Re: So much rolling!!! Like seriously always rolling!

You only have to roll after you sow if you want the bonus... Well this is news, thank u. So disk, plant, roll, herb, fert 2x and then harvest should get me like 95%? I don't mulch it doesn't seem worth it as someone said above. I also saw simfarmer on YouTube saying something like using a mechanica...

So much rolling!!! Like seriously always rolling!

Am I the only one getting frustrated with how much rolling this game requires? You have to roll it after you disk, plant it, and then roll it again?? At nearly 120 hours a lot of fields & 7 mph I'm getting sick of rolling. Does anyone know of any roller mods or something short of turning weeds o...

Re: Forestry

Has anyone tried doing forestry? My first in-game year I planted two small fields with normal Pine and American Elm and they are now fully grown. The only forestry I have done so far is clearing trees to make fields bigger, sometimes everything works fine and the tree can be cut down without any pr...

Re: Make game speed mean something

If you want to plant harvest and replant in your 2 hours of play time, why not just use large equipment on really small fields? And do small field contracts. In other words scale down the game so a $1000 year end profit would mean the same to you as a $100,000 one. It's all fake money anyway, you do...

Re: Train does not accept corn

I've carried corn on the train on ElmCreek. Perhaps needs to be in a specific car, try all of them.
Edit: I see you can't even offload it there... Hmmm I have been offloading it with that trailer and at that sell point for a few in game years. Perhaps its multiplayer.

Re: Where's the snow?

Like others I had hardly any snow on Elmcreek. Some in February and gone in March. I did some testing and for pc on steam editing the environment.xml in the mapUS does have an effect. In the winter section under snow there is a weight of 5 which is why there is hardly any chance of it snowing. I ha...
