RTK STATION

[Beanbrother]

I know we all thought they were meant to help with helper. (Or I thought so)
But do they do anything really? Meant to help with PF but has anybody really pay and attention to see if it does??

The vanilla helper likes to overlap with a lot, and that should be less with the rtk.

It has been tested by many YouTubers to see if it indeeds helps the AI improving on their work and let them finish the job faster.

Geez 40 seconds, isn’t that much of an improvement I don’t think.

What’s a vanilla helper? Is that without precision farming?

Depending on the size of the field.

It's the AI worker you can hire to do work, no you don't need PF to hire a worker. It's in the basegame.

If you search for AI helper FS22 on YouTube you will find videos on how to use it

I know what a AI helper is (been grinding since fs17)
Just never heard them call vanilla

Back to topic:
If it is the same like in FS19 version, it works like this (I have not used FS22 version, yet):

Without PF the default hired helper drives perfect straight lines while working a field.

With PF and no RTK placed, hired helper drives in very narrow snakelines across the field. You only see this, if you are in the same vehicle and look at the compass on the minimap. The driving direction contantly varies a few degrees. This leads to more overlap.
If you place an RTK, hired helper is back to basegame behaviour.

So its not even an addition the game. It's a gimmick

It does work, but I say skip it. I never use it anymore for Precision Farming. And if you use mods for field work, and those mods are optimized for PF, you’ll end up with gaps in field work that would need to fix.
