Potatoes.... what is the point?
Potatoes.... what is the point?
Can anyone enlighten me as to the point of potatoes in FS19?
I thought I'd give them a try. Ready to harvest tonight and so far it has been VERY slow, the harvester seems to miss massive patches as if it's just forgotten what it was doing (stop drive --> drive again seems to wake it up), the beacons are on permanently. I just don't see the point in them based on tonight.

I can't day I've ever had any of those experiences with missing spots or beacons being on all the time. Most people aren't a fan of root crops bc the yield is incredibly high and everything has such a narrow working width due to the HP requirements of digging things out of the ground

Ohh I got this one fam...
The game is called Farming Simulator. So they put crops that you can produce by farming. Pretty cut and dry.

Came here to say this. I mean, what's the point of virtually harvesting any computer-generated crop?chedly_farms wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 1:23 am The game is called Farming Simulator. So they put crops that you can produce by farming. Pretty cut and dry.
Potatoes are the worst though. Well, sugar cane is the worst. Then potatoes, then poplars, then beets, then logging.
FS22 is the best one yet. Fight me!

And the income from them is humongous.

Is it me or are these threads only prevalent when there is not much else to discuss on the boards? Lol

Re: Potatoes.... what is the point?
Have you ever eaten one! Obviously not! But seriously, the high quantity=high income. It’s a slow process and needs some improvement so you can go a little bigger scale IMO. Missing spots can be a symptom of uneven fields in root crops. Not sure with the beacons, sounds like other issues. If you want to go faster you need to buy more lifters
Re: Potatoes.... what is the point?
Potatoes are magical things. You can make so many yummy things, like french fries, potatoes dauphinoise, potato salad, freedom fries and even vodka.

If you are on PC, using the Global Company potato washer and sorter make them so much more worth the hassel. Also there are several modded harvesters you could get that have bigger headers and massive tank capacities.

I thought potatoes weren't supposed to have any points?? I mean... They're mostly roundish?
