What is your biggest wish?

[bojanh66]

New game engine, dynamic terrain / mud (Spintires), better soil management (C&C), integrated perfect AI worker (Courseplay), road network (Autodrive & C&C).

All maps with hedge adjustment to make new field entrance, or widen existing entrances.

also this, editing some basic things via game without need for GE.

Well thought out and refined version of courseplay by Giants that includes the ability to all functions in the game.

• Field operations by merely selecting equipment, designating operation and selecting field.
• Shuttle crops between load and unload points
• Chase combines, forage harvesters, etc. and unload into a waiting truck or unload point

While predefined routes like in the mobile game (or splines like the traffic) would be relatively easy to implement, the issues start when you begin extending or merging fields.

That's why the other farming game apparently has only limited areas which can be worked, as the employees will have a fixed route to a field (which they didn't do especially well the last time I tried it).

For this to happen in FS then you'd either need fixed working areas (fields can't be changed) or a far more complex AI which could work this sort of stuff out for themselves (presumably possible, but hugely complex to program and likely quite performance sapping).

The other issue is AI opening gates and things. Not an issue in the base game, but would need support for mod maps.

Hired helper improvements are second on my personal wish list behind only more natural graphics. I'd settle for workers which could do headlands and leave headland widths when eg ploughing/cultivating/drilling and work around obstacles (rather than just stop and turn around, leaving the other side of a telegraph pole unworked for example). More realistic headland moving would be nice too, rather than reversing then driving forward in a big arc (fine for some, but not things like ploughing).

I would love to see more stuff for Console users like a John Deere Dozer 350,450,550,or 650 with a 6 way blade and cable puller. Also a Caterpillar dozer and loader to actually move dirt or realalistic dirt so we can build ramps and bridges. Also maybe a autoloader to load logs on the trucks

A winning lottery ticket then I could buy some real tractors !.

[Ado239]

Ford 8830, John Deere 4850, MBTrac, straw harvest (future's looking bright for that at lease)

A functional bowling ball cannon or potato gun. Now there's something to grow spuds for.

An entirely overhauled AI system. Think Tokyo Xtreme Racer AI - roaming AI characters with contracts based on where they’re going/mission start point at a yard then follow them to the field/catch them working on a field nearby and they radio in for help.

This would include traffic rules for the ai akin to ETS2 and also include a form of relationship system that allows you to go from working for/with people, to going into business with them, to entirely buying them out only IF you wanted to. You might prefer to boost the economy rather than be a land tycoon.

Love this idea!
