Farming simulator 19 - Crops and modding inquiry

[Jayson]

I want to be hyped to preorder but I'm still waiting to see what Crops and what modding freedoms there will be.. In the last Farming Simulator, at least for the ps4 version, It didn't have a crop adding section for modders to make new crops the game didn't have... Stuff I would like to see added is grapes, pumpkins, Apple trees, hemp, Orange trees, strawberries, cucumbers, peppers, onions, rice, coffee, tobacco, Cacao tree, tomatoes, lettuce, assorted berries, radishes, sugar cane, spinach and more.. I would at least hope modders would add just for synthetic looks or green houses with some static income like the bee hive did...

Umm, that's Giants department, modders probably could make new crop type, but i think there would be outside scripts involved, that's where Giants steps in, so Giants will have to make new crop types.

Already have sugarcane but we wont see any changes for modding on consoles for at least a few years

[Derplodactyl]

New crop types aren't allowed on console due to the extra 3rd party scripts it would require.

[BigC92]

No Eric i think he means modders make a new crop type, like they were to make sugarcane and release it as a mod.

With the right built-in support function it could work. It wouldn't be perfect or easy by any means but anything can be done with programming.. with that aside though, modders could add just for synthetic looks or green houses with some static income like the bee hives did... Anyways, I hope they focus on adding new crops for DLC content instead of just machinery...

With FS17 adding a game-wide crop proved quite difficult, thinking back to some of the issues implementing sugarcane initially. Consider that you not only need to implement the crop into the map but also the different sell points and silos need to include it too.

Perhaps GIANTS could separate the crops from the maps eventually - this would be pretty cool actually, where you could choose which crops can be grown, so players could simulate region-specific crops - but I assume it would require a major rewrite of the game.

this_is_gav, I love your positivity and innovating encouragement.
