Northside Farming Group - Where sim meets reality (MR)
Posted: Sun Sep 24, 2017 12:49 pm
Hello everyone,
We are currently looking to recruit for our server. We are a long standing group over on fsuk , however, we have recently started up again after a summer break. We are running a heavily edited Ballymoon map. Please take some time to read through our thread on fsuk and if interested please https://www.fs-uk.com/forum/index.php?topic=182644.0
About Northside Farming Group:
Northside Farming Group, NSFG for short, came about after my first taste of how good multiplayer could be having tried a few multiplayer servers, daggerwins for example. This was all well and good for a 'newbie' to the game but, it soon became apparent that I had a thirst for more realism, especially when I became more aware of the fantastic mods that were being released regularly.
After speaking with a few good folk on the fsuk community, I had decided to create my own and at least attempt to offer something I wasn't finding myself within the fsuk website. I wanted to provide a server that would offer more functionality, which would ultimately keep everyone busy and split up the tasks to keep things entertaining. I believe this is very important for multiplayer as it provides a little something for all those who look for different sources of entertainment within Farming Simulator game. As well as providing different aspects of farming, logging and logistics, i wanted to incorporate as much realism as we could get away with whilst maintaining the fun aspect of the game as I'm fully aware members seek enjoyment in different ways. It was and still is important that new members are on board with how we want to run things that way we are all on the same page meaning we can just jump on and enjoy the banter or use it as an avenue to switch off after a long day.
The Northside server is not catered to one specific type of player, this means we attract people from all ages and walks of life, however, we are a mature server. The ages range spans from late teens all the way up through the clouds past 40 years old. My days... some of my members are old
Despite the difference in ages we all get along and enjoy each others company as and when we go on.
I must stress that you do not need any experience as we are here to offer support and guidance into MR playing. There is also no requirements in how much time you need to come on, just come on as and when you feel like it.
Operations:
[hr]
As I mentioned above, we are a server that likes to simulate realistically and as such we have certain things in place to allow us to play like this, be it ; more realistic mods, edited maps and mods, a google field sheet which enables us to plan,organise and monitor, more realistic approaches to task and so forth. Whilst this all may seem daunting to a newbie to the community, we are not strict to the point where it is no fun, these are just elements in which we add to enhance the experience. There is no manual in which you need to read and follow word for word ;P haha
We ourselves are still learning about many aspects of the game and farming so do not be intimidated by the realistic approach.
Our Map:
Most will know from the thread title that we are now located on Oakfield aka Oay/ Oakenfold. Firstly, big big thanks to OxyDs efforts because this map not only is beautifully designed but, runs fantastically. We have continued in the same vein as we have done previously and that is editing the map to support work through all seasons by incorporating mCompany into the map. Not only does this generate more work but, add even more functionality to this awesome map. Ive also included more barn sheds so support our store in shed system rather than farm silo for added realism.

Oakfields current additions
Salt(New/Testing)- Timmiej93
Gritter (WIP) - Robbie
Fillable fuel tanks
FertiMax
Mcompany Liquid fert storage
Composter
Council Depot( for our snow gritter )
Potato washer
Pallet, Barrel, Whisky and sawmill factories
Bio Fuel that powers all factories.
New sell points
Barns with tip colls.
and much more
As I mentioned above, we track and follow our tasks using a field sheet that has slowly evolved since its birth in 2015. I'd like to thank Steven for helping getting this off the ground and I'm happy with how it has turned out. Its worth mentioning that real time in game stats can be monitored(thank you Ian for this) as well as user graphs to see who is currently boss'n the leaderboard. Below is a preview of our task sheet.
To allow me more freedom in changing/updating mods, one of our more gifted members(Mike aka Jamespants) created a mod downloader for us. This will synch your mod folder with how one of our servers, simply log in and it will do the work for you.

Making the move to PC would be wise choice as you get to enjoy custom maps, mods and alot of cool scripts.
