Well, that's a HUGE improvement. Kudos on that one :hi:
This way, slot count has practically become unlimited for new gen consoles.

Great job Giants, but I would also be curious to know the graphic settings of the new consoles and if they will finally have realistic beacon lights.

That's very impressive stuff. It should also help those PC players running on low-end hardware, but for console players this is game-changing.

From the chat in Discord it doesn't sound like the loose bale limit of 200 have been increased (yet), which is a shame, especially with the small Massey Ferguson baler, where you can probably hit that limit in one large field.

This is huge news for console players. Got a PS5, so planning a large long term farm with lots of production lines and factories of my own won't be an issue.

This is super exciting, not only because of the improved slots, but also because it will likely mean better performance for lower-end PCs. Great job Giants!

Sounds like great news,we will have to wait and see once the game launches too see if any compromises have been made to achieve this.

Just remember not to buy any more than 429 claas tractors though!

Yeah 300% increase is impressive by any standard.
Surely it's a good thing for pc owners too as it's that much easier to run...

I haven't played FS or logged into this account in months. But after seeing what they've announced in the last few weeks, Giants may have a hit on their hands with this one.

I'm seeing some real improvements that I'm getting excited about.
FS22 is the best one yet. Fight me!

Would any of you bet on someone still complaining about the slot count eventually. Lol
Anyway GIANTS really do deserve credit, I've seen a lot of people say when 22 comes out they'll probably play for a while an then go back to 19 until mods start rolling(have any of you changed you're mind), ill admit I have done this on previous versions and was planning on doing it again for the start of 22, but now I have a feeling maybe i wont go back to 19, honestly, look at the amount of tractors an equipment included in the base game along with all the new features announced (so far) I think 22 will have more than enough to keep people interested and playing while waiting on mods to start coming.

Back to FS17?

I am sure we still going to get posts, that will ask why there is slot limit, especially on PS4.
