Seasons leak

[Miketeg]

Woohoo ! Happy to see these screenshot.

As I said on your FB page, hope you'll be able to bring some "snow removal mission" in order to help to pass the time during the winter !

Thanks for all your work, can't wait.

wait theSeb… u mean weeds ARENT supposed to take over a field like a medieval plague!? i cant wait to see how u guys implement it and the other new features of fs19.. exciting times indeed

[Wiblis]

Never be a big fan of day/night cycle, always wanted seasons, snow plow equipment for missions or fire wood delivery would be great. Could also have a hibernate function in the house for those who want to skip winter.

Maybe they'll give us a hoe and we can go weed the fields by hand.

Seriously though, I'm really looking forward to seeing the progress and new features.

Wonder if spot spraying will be a thing.
Or the longer you let them go the more field they take over.
On a sidenote ive had fields completely taken over by weeds before it's depressing lol

I think it’s a great game, yes there are a few bugs but thanx to people on here you can avoid and work around them and it WILL get fixed. Plus all the free mods keep it fresh. I still have FS17 but haven’t played it since this release

Can someone explain what seasons actually is and how it all works I never bothered on 17 so not sure what it’s all about but I do want to with 19.

[BARNYwithaGUN]

It makes the game a lot more realistic they have a manual on realms website that explains it very well

[Patrick73]

Exactly what it says on the tin! Spring time cultivate and plant crops,summer make hay while the sun shines,autumn harvest and cultivate and winter hope for snow you can only do things according to the season. For example if it’s too cold the ground is frozen and you can’t plant or cultivate and you can only harvest late summer and autumn. On the lowest setting 1 season equals 3 days

It’s a major overhaul to the game mechanics. There are actual seasons, which effect everything, and force you to adopt farming strategies and planning that is more true to life. (Plus, the snow is awesome.) As already suggested, it’s definitely worth checking out their website for an introduction.

I’m personally really excited to see what they can do with ‘19 when it gets here. (The weed thing is already a cool idea.) I’m hoping they can leverage a lot of the work from ‘17, but I figure it will still take some time.

Would like to see the snow on the ground behave differently than white silage atleast on consoles. Would like to see it dissolve as you drive over it or even collect on vehicles that are left out or working extended periods of time outside. Just not sure what can be done on consoles and im thankful for getting seasons on consoles. They were suggestions and not criticisms.

The Seasons mod changes the fundamental way to play Farming Simulator by introducing seasons and changing all aspects of the gameplay, such as weather, growth, economy, vehicle maintenance and husbandry to suit.

Experience the trials and tribulations of a real life farmer worrying if you will get all your crops planted on time before it gets too cold, or too dry, for them to germinate and whether you will complete the harvest before the rainy days of autumn when crops will be wet.

Beautiful visuals to suit the seasons, such as the birth of life in spring, the richness of colour of autumn and bare trees on a bleak winter's day when you are clearing the snow, or doing forestry, will help to fully immerse you in this new environment.

Here are some very old promotional videos. They don't include all of the features the mod ended up with in its final state since they were made around the time we entered Seasons into the 2017 mod contest.

These are pretty short

Hey Seb, thanks for starting work so early on FS19.
This is great news. Please do keep us posted.

[Wiblis]

Later they can add weather catastrophe like flood, drought, forest fire or grasshopper invasion. That would be as real as it can get.

I hope they add some options to turn off some features. Last time i played seasons, most of the time i waited, repaired my 150 pices of different equipment and feed the animals.
Finally only way to play it i found is to add 12000x time run mod, use very little pieces of equipment and pass the animal growing.
