Meat production on official Modhub

[CobblerFarms]

Just thinking about #farmingsimulator22

If unavailebility of meat production in official modhub is caused by #PEGI rating 3, that is basically really wrong. This kind of ruling abduct children just more from the reality where food on the supermarket comes from.

That said, maybe this is in par with that. I live on arctic area. So during this festive season this can also be as shocking to some adults:

Reindeers are only breeded as meat and souvenirsnothing elseSorry Rudolf🦴

Are reindeer real? I probably sound like a complete fool right now, but I could have swarn they were real

[CobblerFarms]

Of course they are real

They are meat providers. Just like cows and pigsbut taste much betteractually reindeer meat is pretty expensive. Around 10x more than cow meat

[ice_boii_1207]

Ok lol. Ive never heard of reindeer meat lol. I thought you were joking haha. Maybe santa upgraded to a car. One day when he realized reindeer tasted good

I don't get it - you can breed animals (I know its wrong in FS22 tho - asexually) - and then sell fully grown animals. That's what a farmer does in real life. So you can simulate it.

[CobblerFarms]

Well, same thing as in other production chains
Farmers grow and sell grain, don't make flour or bread

Issue is that in animals, production chain ends in selling the animals, no bacon or lovely steak

I'm with Cobbler Farms, I look forward to the game to focus on animals , thier health care, male calves, cleaning the barns just to name a few. Looking after animals is a huge part of farming, it should be a huge part of this game, later all.

The production chains addition(s) add another dimension to the game but do seem somewhat superfluous to the core of farming. So if they're incomplete or deliberately dumbed down for the kids, I'm not bothered. What does disappoint me, though, is the counterintuitive way animals have been implemented in the game. For example.....in real life, sheep eat silage and barley; and TMR. And you can't control animal numbers because they just breed if you leave them be (ie, if you have the food supply for 10 sheep, but have a 20 sheep pen, you can't just keep 10 sheep...) Also the numbers are completely out of whack - I know its unbalanced but if its too far out its just weird to try work it all out.

I am hoping for FS24 or whatever the next, to have a big update here. But I won't be holding my breath.....

[CobblerFarms]

That is so true.

I miss FS19 seasons animal handling. Maybe there will come somekind of seasons add-on to bring back features from realismus seasons, like ground temperature

Again, the game is rated E for a reason

The animal system in fs19 was way more realistic than this years "feed em and forgetem" ....even the chickens made a mess....the only thing that bothered me in 19 was the sheep, chickens and horses were permanently constipated

Has anyone officially commented on this or is it assumed. Just curious because it’s not like there’s a ton of these mods available for pc either. Perhaps no one has tried or put forward a high enough quality mod to make it on the hub. Is anyone aware of a production like this for pc that works well? But yeah I agree with what others have said animals need a ton of love outside of productions for starters.

[CobblerFarms]

No Giants have not commented. I believe PEGI is also the reason why we have grapejuice and not wine n the official modhub

[paul_c]

Actually I'll give Giants a chance here. I believe they could have made animals more realistic, but chose not to. They know their audience, they know where the sales/cash occurs. They dumbed it down to appeal to the 12-15yr old kids and gave enough variety to try broaden its appeal for maximum sales/profit but at some point, the two conflict.
