Farming Simulator 19: Farm like never before!

[SteveValek]

well he said they did a complete overhaul of their engine, sooo its not the same engine, its changed and improved

You know what? Let me go into detail:

Here is what we did:
The Sky is dynamic now. Real coulds (3d objects) that turn grey before it starts to rain, so you can predict the weather
Sun and Moon are there and moving
We added volumetric fog (it looks SO good)
We added:
Depth of Field
Color grading / Tone Mapping
High Dynamic Range Rendering
Bloom
Global Illumination (SSAO)
Dynamic Eye Adaptation
Light Scattering



That's a huge list for a engine update and the results will blow you away once we can show them.

Rather than continue to veer off,on an whole load of different aspects and suggestions regarding Tractors,VR and Trailers..

Is there anything you can say regarding the actual core gameplay farming?
Dynamic new sky is great,and all well and good,but we are farming the fields,so will there be major improvements there?
Rather than watch a section of field transform as say,a plough crosses it.
Will the new game be more realistic,and in more detail,in how the field is ploughed,cultivated,seeded and harvested ?
After all,it's where we are spending the most time...

Also,and speaking for consoles only...

Can you guys look into the main control sub menus?
Feels like there's too much on "LB",and many a time,I've got to plough a field,and with "LB+B",to lower the tool,I've hit just "B",and "Hired a Worker"!
Maybe consider moving "Hire Worker" to the other menus "LB+RB"or "RB+"perhaps?

Thanks

I like to be able to fatten animals buying lambs , calfs and piglets and bringing them up to weight . with there being multiple places to sell your stock so you can get the best price . Also id like more species of forestry trees like Radiata or Corsican both being able to run through the Ponsse . With there also being a better market with multiple places to sell logs .

[ClassicTractors]

^^ I too would like to see different sale points for animals. I don't really like only having one place to sell them to right now.

i hope that we have mods like trailer silage harvesters maps like spring hill in 2013

and of course john deere

I don't think Giants will add animal fattening for meat sale. At least not directly. What I do love to see is, that you have lambs, clafs and piglets that you can raise to adulthood, same goes for the new horses.

I love to see that equipment has to be maintained throughout a season/period of time. If you don't do it in time, you can't plow or cultivate or it skips a lot of field.

Would love to see using sprayers for more then just fertilizing. Like using pesticide or moisterizing a dry field.

Whatever Giants puts in the game, I can't wait to play it.

Pictures of the Giants booth from Focus Home Interactive's event showed Martin sitting next to, what appears to be, a lamb and a piglet. This is based on the assumption that all the animals were the same scale (looks to be 1:1).

I apologize if it was addressed earlier but I don't recall seeing it, but maybe this is an indication of young animals and possible growth stages? Maybe Lis can confirm or deny or say he's not at liberty to say?

[Denhalen]

Lets hope we get animals in several stages of life. And each stage has a different value. Maybe now we can sell milk ourselves as a option. I hope animals can be placed in more then one place. So you can set a field to be there new home, until the grass there is all short. Maybe that we can fertilize the pasture, while the animals are in the barn. Or a other pasture.

Any chance of adding signs with names on them? Like in past games, there were no signs saying what went where. We only had symbols to go by. For me, i have to keep looking them up to see what symbol was wheat, or grain, or hay, etc,etc. If the symbols had the names to it in the storage facilities,etc, i think this would be a lot of help. Rather than just having simple pictures to go by.
I just keep getting confused because some of the symbols do look very much alike.

The inclusion of an ABBATOIR...

Sadly it's part of farming,and where a lot of them end up!

I'm all for Realism..

[Gimli54]

For those of us not familiar with actronyms can you explain what ABBATOIR is please

[Guitarman]

It's not an acronym (I don't think anyway), but another name for slaughterhouse.

[Guil]

Nope, it's not an acronym.

It was the greatest 3d movie ever made about people with blue faces on another world!

[Bhcc]

How about hiring people to stack logs or feed animals if supplies are there?

[DeereJason]

Abbatoir means a slaughterhouse. In this age of the Internet, it's easy enough to google it.
