If you are on about irrigation, then it would only come as a mod

You have to get it just right, I think. I was able to get free water by carefully backing my water tanker into a water source until the option came up. I had to submerge the rear a little.

Is the trophies on PS4 called "Farmers' Favorite" available on Westbridge Hills or is it possibile to complete it only on Gold Crest Valley?

I think that's the one where you do jobs for all the farmers. It should be available on any map but I got it on goldcrest.

Yeah, that's right. I am asking because I'm not sure if you can do this trophy on Westbridge where I'm currently playing.

I can't see why not. Have you tried do a mission for all the farmers on the map? I'm not sure but I don't think there is as many different farmers as goldcrest but not sure if that matters.

You have to unfold the harvester by press X on your keyboard, you also did not mention what platform you are on.

Also, the Big Bud DLC comes with attachments yes. If you would look in ModHub, you will see what downloads are available.

hello johndeer318:

thanks for the answer I'm sure you are right since u played this alot longer than me, I been useing the xbox1 windows controler and it says lb +x to activate the cutting tool. but its for those 2 combines the other combine case international the one thats on my farm works goodwith with lb+x to activate the cutting tool. I thought "x" is for getting in and out of the farm machinery? i could be wrong. if I am, my mistake, I only played it for 10 hrs according to the game.

Go to the menu and enable the help window and it will tell you the controls in the top left of the screen. The same button configurations will do different things depending on what tool is highlighted in the bottom right of the screen.

blue icons blanking on map

Post by bluediamond85 »

Hello all:

Sorry to be a pest the manual did not say anything about blue icons blinking on the map. Can some one explain this. What I'm I suppose to do with this?

BTW I got the headers on the combine working.
