[Chaki]

Prepare for more Precision Farming technology in Farming Simulator 22!

So more Precision Farming for FS19 is over, and for FS22 next spring means Spring 2022

A good question that it would be nice to have an answer for.

No surprise here, as soon as Giants start talking about the next edition, they abandon the current.

Which is the way that most company work...

Yeah Giants really need to take whoever is in charge of Promoting this and explain to them how promoting a DLC that won't come out for another 9 months on a game that won't be out for another 4 months is not a good strategy. Again with all the post around the Precision DLC series which look like will come every year for a while I assume they always come far too early or say very little indeed....
Having the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research from the Polish Academy of Sciences would suggest the next DLC may be Animal based which should be interesting maybe we will have young animals in fs22???

This is an announcement, not really a promotion. As it is stated in the article, it's a project led by the EU institution EIT Food and John Deere. Different rules and strategies here compared to just announcing a DLC independently made by us.

I expected precision farming to be part of the base game given the time they had/have.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised though, given their odd way or thinking.

You would think this was a part of the base game but no...guess Giants don't have the knowledge to develop something like this. Sad.

We'll see next week in the Farmcon presentation but if the game feels the same as FS19 it will be a huge dissapointment..

Wow, I think you need some grass. Giants is still producing it with other companies. Please read what was wrote before you.

Huh? You think the gaming side of this isn't created by GIANTS?

I expect one of the reasons it's not in the base game is because I guess only a limited number of users play with it. Or maybe they have a contract with EIT and it might not cover the lifespan of FS22 or future games. There could be any number of reasons.

PF is not in basegame because Giants is not the developer of this.
It is done by externals and Giants provides the necessary implementation support.

It was stated in one the interviews that it will be (needs to be) kept as DLC for legal purposes.

You can literally see the answer to this above your post. Yet you didnt even manage to read it.

No idea where this comes from but we actually develop Precision Farming with EIT and John Deere together.

Thanks for the reply Desardh yeah I knew someone else had to behind the decision to announce a DLC 9 months early .
Look forward to it when it eventually comes out. Was it mentioned how long the precision farming series will last? 3 years maybe?

Ok, I have to apologize for misunderstanding it in the following interview:

Starting at 18:20 it is mentioned that you/Giants is supporting this European project. For me that sounded like you are only supporting the implemetation.
