If seasons are on FS 19

[fenixguy]

I have heard something about this issue but I don’t think I’m allowed to share it here...

Insert my standard statement here: If seasons are not a part of FS19 (base game or mod) I will not be purchasing it. I refuse to play without it anymore.

Same with me. And there are a few other mods as well (like courseplay & GPS)

I would like to be able to have snow without stuff rotting or animals dying.

If you play on Easy animals can't die. If you play on a non-Seasons-masked map nothing will rot except grass (but everything still works). And you will still have snow.

GPS is highly unlikely. I may be wrong about this, but I believe the developer (upsideDown) has gone off to that other WIP farming game. If true that also means that Drive Control is equally unlikely.

Perhaps he'll give people permission to convert them, but even with permission I doubt that will be an easy job, even for experienced scripters.

GPS wouldn't be too hard for Giants to implement. It could just use the same "drive in a straight line" function that the hired worker uses except you have to stay in the machine as the driver. Have a toggle between the standard directions the worker uses or set off in a "free" direction (like FS2011 hired worker).

But the entire GPS mod in all it's glory would be difficult to map to a controller. And it's already been confirmed that it won't be included. I just use the worker for straight lines when I want to control the headland turns and what not.

Well, it helps... I can pronounce Rankies without second guessing what I just said. LOL - I really do love the Seasons mod, though. It's hard playing without it!

[redglasses]

Ya I love seasons, idk if I could play without it

[GothicKing13]

I can play without it, but... only with an exception. My fiance is still learning the game, getting used to everything. So, we have our own little save file that we run together in a private server. I don't run seasons with her, yet. Trying to let her get more used to the game first. Also, letting her see and work with each and every crop. Without seasons, she gets to work with Sugarcane. I know, Estancia has it's own GEO to allow sugarcane, but... then it's either potatoes or sugar beets that get removed. lol

The only thing about seasons i dont like is, you plant fertilize and harvest every field, then what? Forestry, well you run otta trees, then what? Im not gonnq buy a boat load of trees.

If seasons are on FS 19 should the be choice selected or just permanently on the in the game

If Seasons ever makes it into the base game, then it will be a choice for sure. A lot of people dislike playing with Seaons and we will most likely not force them to use it.

Why does that sound like a vague politician response... "We will most likely not force them!!!" Something to read into or not ??

Quite frankly: because I don't know. As there is no seasons for FS19, we don't have any plans here so I have to go with my guts feeling. As the Community Manager, I see A LOT of feedback regarding Seasons and not everyone likes it, so that's the feedback our developers get as well.

As they are listening to our community, I'd assume they will build in a toggle Seasons yes/no or something (or a gamemode with seasons or god knows how they would do it), but as there are no plans, we don't know. That's why I've posted my guts feeling and that is: They will (because of the feedback) most likely give players the choice.

Top man, I've got visions of a massive whiteboard in your office with a tally on "what the community wants"- and then developers coming in and ticking what they like/can do and wiping off what they don't/can't !

Sorry, I know this is off topic... But, I don't think I have ever seen Lis post something this early. Hope you have a good day at work, Lis.

[BigC92]

A couple times he has, but Lis is doing his best to give us information on pretty much everything, and like Lis said, not everyone likes seasons. Lis do you know anything about the other 4real modules? They in the base game?

[GothicKing13]

Ah, I haven't noticed it personally. 1st time I've seen him post this early. I agree, he is doing his best. Staying on top of everything, shedding light on what he can/allowed to share. I personally love Seasons, but... I can play without it for a while, and patiently wait on the updated mod to come back around. Didn't Rahkiin already say somewhere that it wasn't apart of the base game, but... realismus (sorry if I spelt that wrong) is already working on the updated version for the new game? All in all, the ability to build our farm from the ground up already has me excited and I can't wait to play!
