They really did a nice job, quite happy with the mechanics and expecially the improvements to fellerbunchers/harvestors.

Agree, Giants did really good job with this DLC. I was kind of negative towards it since they announced it, but it suprised me in positive way. They really improved the logs/timber handling, thats why I enjoy it sooooo much.
There is maybe a few things that need tweekin, for example there is no sound of timber falling when you cut trees with harvester.
The only thing I'm not a fan, its production of yachts, treecats, rollercoasters ... that's still a bit silly for me. Would prefer a proper big sawmill where we could manage and handle all the wood ourselfs.

But in general probably the best DLC in year 1 season pass. Big thanks to the map makers, 3d modellers and all the guys that implemented new scripts such as winches and yardres.

Yes it sure made doing logging on consoles a lot better. I'm really liking the Logging Winch. pulling logs up out of the ravine .. my next new thing will be getting and using the yarders...

So far I have only 1 complaint. The missing drivers for the boats going up and down the water :lol: Otherwise it really is pretty good. I am getting on with very few mods and loving it. The map looks great and the machines are fun to use. I haven't put this much time into nonstop forestry into any version of fs to date (including 22 until now). I haven't gotten to use a yarder yet but I am not really logging anything right now that calls for it but soon. I am running out of trees on the larger starter plot (I have left all the trees around the water areas as it's pretty to look at while I work) and cleared the undergrowth and replanted a bunch already. I plan to buy a more difficult plot so I can really make use of the new machines. Logging has never been so captivating in fs. I can only imagine how the logging junkies are feeling right now :)

Happy far..... Happy logging everyone!

Anyone notice the 3 fertilization stages or the fact that pallets of lettuce and what not will snap into position on the pickup?

Hey PrincessJessi84, PrinceJesus84 here.
I suspect your complaint about the missing drivers of the boats, which are also referred to as Captains, Sea Captains, Skippers, Pilots or Commanders, can be easily explained. Using drone technology, you can sail a boat up and down the great rivers lined with uncuttable trees. It remains to be seen if the farming related roller coasters are operated by AI or if there are actual workers involved. The other day, Worker K mentioned something about a new job at a county fair, so maybe he/she/it will be operating a coaster.
:mrgreen:

you talked me into building a boat, see what happens.. The only thing i wished we had on consoles is a measuring tool/ tape measure(like pc had in fs19) when using just a chainsaw. I use a log that is 6m for my measuring tool/ tape measure.. haha.. it's the log in front.. doesn't fit very good in my back pocket :biggrin2: :lol:

Loving it. Didn’t do much logging before definitely will now .has anybody noticed how good the vehicle sounds are I’m using the old f16 and timber trailer and when you adjust the log supports it actually sounds real .i bought the season pass few weeks after game came out and was thinking was a bit waste off money until yesterday got my money’s worth took a bit figuring out the yarders and winches but soon got hang off them .the only thing I struggle with is making a big stack off logs can never get big Volvo loader grab completely full
