You installed the trailer mod. Retarded the map and made sure it was selected in the mods list. Went to the shop and it wasn't there. Am I correct??
It sounds like you didn't activate the mod after installing it.
If you can't find it under the category in the shop try the brand name menu.

On xbox press Rb to change from category to brands. On Ps it will be R1. If its pc I'm not sure what the button is but in the shop menu at the top right it will tell you.

It definitely sounds like you didn't select the mod after installing it though at the map start up mod screen.

You see if they made that part of fs 17 the same as the mods hub there would be no problem you click what you want it installs it and that's it now why can't they do the same with the mods in the menu list or transfer all the mods to the mod hub ever since I remember this game has been a nightmare for mod installation (see all he posts) I gave up trying to put stuff in and just use the mods hub stuff hope the fs 19 if there is one gets this sorted

The modhub is giants own. Other mods from other sites have nothing to do with Giants so they can't put them in the modhub. It's also tested mods where as other sites are not tested and can be full of problems. So I'm guessing you are on PC. There is a helpful thread in here that helps with mod folder location. I advise reading it. It makes it easy and is a step by step guide

Depends what map and level you're playing. Typically on normal wheat will only go as high as the 700s. You will see above 1000 on easy.

Is it normal to be able to use weeder to fertilize at all growth stages? Tutorial says first growth only (technically the 2nd color band on the growth map).

Drive past the store and keep heading towards the forest area. I think that's west of the main farm.

Silos are where your combine is at the start. There is a metal plate in front of a barn that opens to allow you to fill it. The loading pipe is dead centre of the barn

Any idea how a log truck can sell the logs at the sawmill and leave on Green River?? It looks like it wasn’t designed good.

^^ I assume the sawmill is tight with no room to turn around. If so, you could try backing in so you can then pull straight out.

Subsoiler vs Cultivator?


Hey.
So I've only been doing grass on 4 fields and now that i've made some money i'd like to try other stuff.

I've understood that you have to plow a field in order to "reset" it. But there are some stuff I dont get.

1. After I plow a new field, do I have to cultivate it right after or can I sow directly on a plowed field?
2. I have the premium expansion and went to the shop to buy a new cultivator. I bought a Stara subsoiler. It says in the desription that it can replace a plow and that I can sow directly. I tried this but it didnt work, as far as my testing goes I cant notice any difference between subsoiler and a cultivator.. Do you have any clues?

Thx

1). It depends. If you have a direct drill, then yes you can seed directly on a plowed field.

2). Same as #1. Make sure it is a direct drill. If you have a seeder that isn’t direct drill, you need to cultivate before. But yes, I do believe a subsoiler can replace a plow.
