I guess fs22 got better with the logging. Also a center pivot loader isnt good when using a-d to steer lol. It shoots it out the side!Wyldesystem wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 2:20 am

Re: Confession time..do you cheat logging?
I use this mod https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.p ... tle=fs2022 , it got a forestry config. It's literally throwing the logs in and tip them into the pond at the sawmill.

Re: Confession time..do you cheat logging?
This isnt a cheat , it is where you are supposed to unload the logs at the old sawmill , hence the shallow part of the pond you can back right into

Re: Confession time..do you cheat logging?
On FS15 I used to just push trees into a lake. Once they hit the water they were "sold". There were a lot of things that were cheaty about logging on FS15.

Re: Confession time..do you cheat logging?
Logging in 15 was something else entirely. Done "right", it was the most frustrating thing in the game, second to none (except maybe bale stacking in the older games?). When done cheaty, you could make enough money to setup a farm however you liked on console.
The thing about the "cheating" tho.. I am seeing lots of people listing auto load and unload in the case of logs as cheating and honestly it depends on how you look at it. In all my years driving I never once had to bust out a forklift and unload my truck (although I have unloaded my own truck for funsies.. weird story). Could you imagine showing up to the mill irl and the guy at the pond is like "where is your wheel loader dummy? everyone else brings their own!" Even at your own productions.. there are obviously people working inside. Wouldn't it be fair to assume one of them is a forklift driver? I mean.. I guess they could just move them around with a pallet jack but its equally as likely that there is a forklift on site (old forklifts aren't terribly hard to come by). I personally don't mind loading pallets and stuff but just because you are having them loaded for you doesn't mean you should automatically be branded as a cheater. Same could be said for a few other things in the game. Just because in some areas the game gives you the option to do it the hard way, doesn't mean you have to or even that it's done that way irl in all locations of the big world. Just do you. Have fun. Cheat.. don't cheat.. make crop circles if you want. Just have fun.

Re: Confession time..do you cheat logging?
Speaking of moving products in game, I would give half my pancreas for a warehouse or production with an overhead crane, especially for the metal. The majority of my driving career was spent hauling coils and sheets of steel in and out of the St. Louis area and its always done that way. Back in or usually pull thru a loading bay and either an overhead operator in the bigger places or in the smaller places a guy with a remote controlling the crane just loads you up lickity split. Just tarp, strap or chain and hit the road. I think that would be buckets of fun in game!
Re: Confession time..do you cheat logging?
I use the CSZ big bag tool to pick up logs. This method actually made logging enjoyable.

Isn't steel coil the number one most dangerous freight? You slam on the brakes for some *$#%§* and the steel just rolls over your cab?PrincessJessi84 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 2:51 am Speaking of moving products in game, I would give half my pancreas for a warehouse or production with an overhead crane, especially for the metal.

Back on topic ... "cheating" really is the wrong word for Farm Sim: There's no competitive element to the game (Well, apart from FSL, but less said the better!) even where people have their own "house rules", as many do, is it really "cheating" to get past a no-fun bit and onto what you really want?

Re: Confession time..do you cheat logging?
Yea for the most part. Straps aren't really a thing. Those bad boys get chained. That is really the hardest part of it tho (for me). Being pretty small compared to most truckers, I always had to use a cheater pipe to get it locked on right. Braking isn't so bad as most trucks don't brake especially fast but anything that pulls some g-force like a solid collision will snap those heavy chains like straw. Of course the sheets aren't really any better. The trailers I pulled had nice solid bulk heads but we all knew that if those sheets come loose and slide, it will be similar to the coils but more of a slicing effect. Its pretty easy to think about now but on the road you don't really think about it any more than you think about going boom while hauling fuel tankers or other hazardous cargo. Too stressful.
And very well said on the other blue. Agreed 100%

Re: Confession time..do you cheat logging?
No need to be sorry. All things considered I have a good life. I have a stable home and a family who loves me including my amazing wife. I have great entertainment at my fingertips and a lot of really awesome memories. Now it is the quiet life for me. I live a life of someone much older than me but I've grown accustomed and I am ok with it. I do miss being active and doing the things I love but honestly, games like FS and the other simulators out there, while not perfect, give me a really good outlet and a way to do some of the things I used to do. My setup is about the next best thing to being there when fully utilized. I am actually quite lucky I think.
