[FS19] Ask Lisertan ( Questions and answers)

[Lisertan]

Hey, thank you for answering my last question.

I hope I'm not coming across impatient with this question. I just kind of like to know what behind the scenes looks like there in Giants HQ,

1. How many days on average does a map get tested for glitches?

2. On average how many days does it take to test tractors/implements?

Once again you guys rock. Those guys in the testing department are the real unsung heroes of this game. They get the ire of the community for taking "way too long" to test things, then get ire for not testing things better. They deserve a round of good beverages every Friday.

Depends (for both) It takes a few hours to test something, but if a map has issues (as an example) we send it back, get a new version and test it again. So it can be from a few hours to several days. If everything is going smooth, it's done in 2 -3 hours.

My question is if there is any sign of the greenhouses and beehives making a return in FS19 , I need somewhere to use the solid manure from my pigs and cows

Seen that a lot, can't promise anything. Sorry.

Why does synchronation with other players take so long on multiplayer with dedicated server and 280h on savegame?
We have restarted server completely, on server seller site and game managing site..

The time is usually defined by the player with the weakest internet connection. As all data needs to be shared between you all, the one with the slow connection is slowing all of you down.

Will the equiptment from the horsch dlc/modpack from fs17 be coming to fs19?

HORSCH announced a free FS19 DLC, so yes.

[Lisertan]

Not sure if this question has already been asked but will there be seasons in FS19?

Not from our side, but I know for sure modders look into this already.

Hey Lis.
Just an idea, it may or may not work for you guys but here goes.

Would it be possible for someone from your team to post at the end of the week with a run down of what's been going on in the office, ie bugs being looked at, tweaks being made, progress on dlc, etc

It may help put a stop to the myth that is flying around the forum that giants no longer listen to their fanbase/customers.

The end of a working week, even if it is a bullet pointed thread with basic info, no need for full blown explanations for each thing. Just a rough idea, like xyz has been working in the bale problems and have it narrowed down hopefully a fix will be available soon, xyz has found the underlying problem with thi feature and has pinpointed a solution, etc etc ( hopefully that made some sort of sense)

On a side note, I've also seen it discussed here, how about posting in here what gets put onto discord. I pretty sure you have a lot more people that use the forums than actually use discord.
It's easy enough to copy paste what goes into discord and place it here.

It would be very weird if Giants will tell us everything they are doing. Then they can’t keep an announcement as a secret and it would be a waste of time to mention everything they did.

How the licensing work in FS19?

Same as always. We talk to the company and see what they want and what we want. Sometimes that mean longtime partnerships sometimes it means to only have a few vehicles for one game ect. It's basically a case to case thing.

Thanks for the answer!

One more question came up with same topic.

Does anybody pay to other side? I mean does Giants pay to manufacturers to get they products inside the game or does
companies pay to Giants to get they products showed in the game?

[markare]

They can keep announcements secret, if you read what I said, not full blown information, just bullet points, such as we are x amount of days from making an announcement about a dlc, we are x amount of days from finalising a patch, we have been working on xyz bugs and are amount of progress through a fix for it.

why do machines consume so little fuel? it is more frequent to make repairs than fuel .. are you going to consume more? to reverse the repair parameters with fuel or leave it like this? thank you.

That's a gameplay decision to keep the game fun to play. Sometimes you have to forget about what's realistic to keep the game fun.

Sorry Liz, but with all the respect I have for you and your team, the game is called Farming SIMULATOR!

So please send feedback to the Dev team to add an option for fuel comsuption "Arcade (like actually) or Simulator (which should be 3 or 4 times faster).

Thanks

yes it would be nice to have a low,default, realistic settings so as to give us a choice to pick pick how much "Fun" we want to have.Please pass this on to the dev team.

Hi Lis! Could you know when we will have the first information for the FarmCon19? In order to organize the work and be able to come here !!

[john6430]

Question: You said that now in the update you can "plant" grass. But how does it work. Like a new mode in there or just automatic. And will we able to plant different crops ?
Thanks, john6430
