So you want to be able to have the option to crash the game?
I'm not really following the point you're trying to make. The way farm SIM works with managing all that is going on on the whole map at any point in time is why it needs to be the way it is. By doing it this way it also allows you to jump from one side of the map to the other without a loading screen.

Sony and Microsoft don't want to have there systems grind to a halt because the user has loaded too many items at one time. Therefore we have the slot limit.

IfMicrosoft and Sony dident want people to load to many items at once... why do they alow it in other games then?
Microsoft and Sony do NOT decide the slot thats Giants only.

That is a question to be directed at the developers of the other games you are talking about. I have no idea why they would allow you to crash the game, if that is actually the case. It doesn't seem like a good thing to me.

Point isent that i want to crash FS. My point is the game could handle more items used in the map.. would lagg more ofc before it would crash. But i want the option to set the Line myself how mutch lagg i can handle before i dont like it 🙂

Another point is to clerify slots isent something decided by Sony and Microsoft. Bad ide or good ide it's Giants ide and not thos to 🙂

What you want isn't going to happen so it's pointless asking for it.
Whether it's Sony/Microsoft or Giants that have set the limit is irrelevant it's there to stop the game becoming a horrible lagging mess. There will be a safety factor applied to the limit therefore the consoles could handle a little more but I doubt it would make a massive difference.

If Giants didn't limit the amount of slots that could be used without exceeding Xbox and PS4 capabilities then everyone on God's green one would be complaining that the game lags to much

Not looking to start an argument.
Iam fully aware that Conan and ARK load whats close only and FS dont.. that do NOT stop thos said games to be able to fill up whit animals and buildings to blow consoles memorys to bits and you can crash them if you build to mutch.. using up all memorys. My point is.. FS could done the excact same and made so people could buy as mutch as they wanted and then crash the game 🙂
We'd rather not people come to us complaining that the game crashes all the time.

Anyway, if you want to discuss the pro/cons of how we use the Slot system, then this is the wrong thread for it. We're still looking into the reduced Slot count but i don't have more news to share. :/

Thanks Chris, still hoping for a good outcome on PS4 from this and I'll continue to wait patiently and hopefully others will also

Yeah...I pretty much said the same thing a while back. I don't think its about finding out "why"...its a matter of mitigating the blow back. I doubt they actually come out and be forthright about it...more than likely sneak it in a patch. Will probably be labeled as a patch to prepare for seasons.
