Afaik, the mod support for consoles is still a go, no word on whether its going to be taking out. Thats my #1 thing im looking forward to for fs17.
I am going to hope that it is more than just mods from this site, but since those are all I use on PC now, it'd be ok. I personally would prefer for them to create their own mod portal where modders can post their work, instead of having a third party site.

A thread i seen said, that you click on a link in-game, and it takes you to the giants website, and download them from there, idk if they have anythinb else planned or what, but modding support will be on consoles, i hope they will have maps to, but idk if thats anything different from vehicles or not.

I haven't seen a bad suggestion in this thread yet, actually. I have an idea I've been thinking about and sitting on for a while now. is a pretty broad idea. It would be something like soilmod, (only the type of soil also matters, such as clay, or some fields have more rocks than others) Say you buy a field initially, and you improve it by building drainage/irrigation ditches(there, just implemented the excavators and several other pieces of construction equipment). They could take it even further and just make it similar to in real life where you just buy a piece of land, and you may have to make the field yourself, cutting down trees and plowing, etc. I believe there is a map similar to that, but i'd just like to see that idea implemented into the base game. I feel GIANTS relies a bit too heavily on modders to make the game better, but I wish they would provide more of those things in the starting product.

3.A general purpose trailer to move eqipment with (flatbed trailer with locking-script?)
4.A machine that can reliably pick up and stack logs with precission
5.Log-winch for mounting on tractors
Anyhow, I like these ideas, i'd even settle for a plane square bale wrapper for number 2. Still praying for a straight log truck with a tandem loader on the back.

Where do I start? I would like to get many things for FS17
#1. More different types of harrows, rolls and cultivators that you could put in the front and/or rear linkage. Or maybe attach to a seeder.
#2. Tractors from the 80's and 90's the brand they've got right now are fine by me.
#3. A smaller (twin axle) hooklift trailer.
#4. The option to put seedbins on your tractors. Like attached to the frontlinkage or the platform of the jcb.
#5. A single 'wheel' rake.

keep in mind I am on console... so I have never had the opportunity to get the mods IF they exist..
1. Krone Big X cargo
2. now that we will be able to apparently pick up small items by hand.. a decent hand fed wood chipper like the Jenz HEM 540 ZA
3. Baler + wrapper (already mentioned by others)
4. for equipment...placeables in any form,... lighting, silos, pallets, fences, hedges, piles, sheds
5.hmmm... something to be named later

scin, you hit the nail right on the head right there, as well. All of those are things that really should be in the game already. Logging equipment should definitely be more refined and extensive this time around, but little has been told about it currently. As for the cotton picker, it's always been an idea of mine to have a self-propelled picker like that. I believe there are even some that bale up the cotton, if i'm not mistaken.

1. More placeable objects: Silos, garages, storage buildings, drilled wells with free water etc. Dream would be to be able to build the farm from stratch.
2. A wood chipper that can be left running and loaded with a frontloader etc.
3. Bulldozer, excavator etc to be able to landscape, even fields making roads etc.
4. Bigger mobile water tank!!!
5. Logging equipment - pull logs, heavy duty frontloaders for trees and better log forks.

I second this, especially when it comes to potato planting equipment. Currently, the widest potato planter is 6 meters wide. Grimme makes an 8 meter version, but for some reason, neither Giants nor modders have included it in the game.
I'd also like to see more grain trucks and dump trucks in the game. A few modders have made some good ones, but for the most part, most are unrealistic when it comes to engine horsepower and/or capacity of the truck. In my home state of Montana, most farmers use grain or dump trucks as opposed to tipper trailers pulled by tractors. When I was young and helping my grandfather on his farm, he used grain trucks to haul the crops from the field to the silos, and even from the silos to the selling point.

I am glad as well that we are getting more semi's in the game.
I was sad when they didn't include the Lizard semi from FS2013 Titanium Edition.
That semi was a great Peterbilt!
