I'm gonna play the counter argument here though, and say that perhaps with the FSL thing having issues and bugs, Giants and Realism working through bugs on Seasons, the Claas DLC, and any other projects that the have going on and with Gamescon coming up, maybe they legitimately don't have time to look into it. Or they have perhaps found something that helps with performance, and they are figuring out how to do it on a bigger scale and maybe adjust something that brings it to PS4. I don't understand why everyone automatically thinks the worse from Giants. They have fixed a lot of issues that the game had, stuff they even said they weren't going to or couldn't fix.

Because when companies have good news (ie: lower slot count) they'll put it out every way possible to attract new fans and build goodwill with existing customers. When a company screws up and has to backpedal in a way that will negatively effect customers, they'll drag their feet and not say anything until they have a solution.

Or, they'll do like DeereJason said and "fix" the xbox slot count with the seasons ready patch. That's my prediction.

"Hey look console players! You get seasons!

Also some other minor game changes and bug fixes. Don't worry about it, it's fine."

Honestly though, I'd give up my recently added slots for seasons so that's not a big deal. I never hit the slot limit before the patch. As long as seasons itself doesn't take up slots...

A lot of tinfoil ITT

i think everyone is making a big fuss over somethin relatively insignificant. We survived with fewer slots before, if they revert it, then we will survive again. Idc tbh, if giants wants to let us have some more slots so be it, if fewer, so be it then too

If they need "more time" then they need to MAKE time. Why is the gaming world immune to the realities the rest of the world faces? If my customers are demanding something, guess what? I'm there until it's done. I work the necessary hours to meet deadlines.

Ironically, this game attempt to simulate farming. When calves are born during the night, they are attended to. When crops need harvesting and pressed against the weather, there is no sleeping

I'm not going to feel any sympathy for yet another issue that has gone unaddressed or ignored. They've made their bed.

I agree with you a bit...if things were the same on slots its fine. However, they managed to lower the slots for Xbox Which is Great! All I'm asking is that we all get to reap these benefits! I have asked several Xbox players who have maxed out the new slots on purpose and no game issues or crashes. It works, so let PS4 in on it also

Love them or hate them the team at No Man's Sky pushed out 18 game builds within 48hrs this past weekend to patch and update their Beyond release. My memory is fuzzy but I think it was months after release before our first major patch to FS19. The slot limit is obviously a problem evident in the number of, and response to, complaint posts here on the forum. If there is a way to eliminate or reduce the problem then it's in GIant's best interest to do so. Lately I'm unsure as to what their interests are.

Exactly this.

After three weeks of "we are looking into it",and they know nothing?
They must have MrMagoo without his glasses looking.
Then again GIANTS has never really had good communication.
Its all about making a buck. And they already have ours.
They know perfectly well by now. They just dont want to say anything yet for whatever reason... makes you think it was a mistake and it's gona be upped again on Xbox.

Maybe the reason is they dont want to lose Platinum Expansion preorder $$$$?
They scared PS4 preorders will drop if they say this is XB1 only,and
scared XB1 preorders will drop if they say they are reversing it.

Its been a month,have they even addressed the issue on their FB,twitter,etc etc?
Like a generic we are looking into this thanks for your patience.
I doubt it.
You have like what,less than 300 active forum members vs 1000s of Twitter and FB followers.

And I agree with you they know the answer by now.
Why cant they be honest....
Because they fu*ked up?
Its ok GIANTS we are all just humans.

And say XB1 user on RavenPort is at 1250 slots with all John Deere equipment.If they revert what happens to his system?

If it cant be done on PS4 then just sayit cant,and leave the XB1 like it is.
To be continued ....

Don't get too high and mighty just yet.... Remember Giants said they weren't sure why the slots went down, so they had to look into it. There is always the possibility of them reversing this.

Edit: right on cue. See Stegei's post

The XboxOne version currently has a bug, that some vehicles have a too low slot count (and some have a too high one) shown in the shop page. But it would still use more memory than what the slot count would suggest. So buying too many different of those can actually lead to a crash due to running out of memory (note that buying the second version of the same vehicle correctly only uses a very small number, usually just 1). Also the maps don't use as many slots as needed by the system.
This will be fixed with the next patch, so that the slot counts will match again with the PS4 version (the PS4 version doesn't have that issue).
If you did use that bug and bought more vehicles that what would have been possible with the correct system (and you were lucky that the game did not crash), your savegame will continue to work with the patch. However, you will have to sell vehicles until you get back to slot count smaller than the maximum allowed before you can buy new vehicles again.
