Farming Simulator 25
- Thread starter BUDFORCE
- Start date
Have you played any previous versions.?
Just wondering how easy it is to get into.?
Also, noted 22 is quite popular, and with mods. Some suggesting that aspects of that game, like animal husbandry, is better than 25.
Did you get the Steam or Giants version.?
Nope not played any of the previous ones, got the Steam version.
I suspect a lot of that is that 22 is well established, polished and with several years of mod support.
Oh yes, I get why some of those who have had previous experience have noted some issues with the new release.
For me, like you I guess, that is not too important.
I suppose it doesn't matter what version you get in the respects of the official mods, they each link back to the Giants mod database.
I might be tempted with that one, your post reminding me, although KCD 2 is interesting and Civ VII isn't.

Farming sim 22 was free on Epic a while back.. so if you do the get the free games.. then you may already have FS 22..
Oh, wow. I knew that one day I would need to actually use a game that I had collected, if I remembered that I had it...!
It seems that I already own both 19 and 22, didn't remember that..!
Thanks
Downloaded a map called Schwesing Bahnof which you can just download via the in game mod menu section.
It's so nice, about 3 times bigger than any of the base game maps, and really detailed and realistic looking.
Wish I had switched to this sooner
I'm just trying to work out the ecosystem of silage/cows/slurry and biogas as it's completely new to me going from growing grain crops and potatoes.
But the basic idea is you grow grass, turn that into hay and silage, which you feed to your cows.
Your cows produce milk, slurry, manure and erm, more cows I guess.
You can then use the slurry/manure to use as fertiliser but also use it as fuel in a biogas generator, which ultimately generates electricity you can sell.
But actually working out how to do it all in practice is taking me a while.

Yea but it just did it automatically, it was really easy even for a complete eeeegit like me.
Good to know. I have just looked that map up here....

Seems it can be used on FS 22 and not just for 25.
EDIT: Nope, sadly 25 only

I haven't played it for a while, the patch that brought out precision farming also broke my save. Admittedly is was a mod map, with mods.......
It loaded to 99% then nothing, other maps work. I might try and fire it up soon and fingers crossed whatever it was that broke it has been patched.

Ok been playing this again.
Same map, new save, although I say new save, I am 300 hours in.
Im going to start a monthly log, mainly for my own benefit. This is for a 300 hour save, and I reckon about.... 5 in game years old.
I'll take some screenshots but i'll put them in spoilers so it doesnt completely jam up this thread.
Jan:
Well a new year, not too much to do in Jan. My goal for this year is to upgrade some of my productions, my grain mill desperately needs upgrading as I have a huge excess of wheat. And also really ramp up my milk production, although I bought some cows last month now up to 125 cows in the large barn. Basically all profits this year will go to that, and running costs, no new machinery or land is anticipated this year.
End goal is to ramp up cake production in my bakery for max profit.
Start money : £268,689
Jobs:
Cows fed TMR mix in order: Fill to 30% silage, fill to 45% wheat, fill to 70% straw, rest Hay.
Cows given straw
Chickens fed and eggs moved to storage
60k of manure moved to the biogas generator (and no way that telehandler was moving that, I had to move my JCB Fastrac 8330 down, and even that struggled!)
58k slurry moved to biogas generator
12k milk moved to diary production
Sales:
42k of bread sold @ £5,963 approx £313k total.
last months biogas income 25k
End money £582,779
And like an absolute eegit it seems I didn'y spray my Wheat, (should have been done in Oct) so I have large weeds growing in there. So all 4 wheat fields sprayed.
Milk delivered.
Overview of land owned.
Aerial view of main farm/production area.
badly stacked bread pallets at the front lol!
Edit: just checked my oldest vehicles are 100 months old, so 8.3 years in.

well, woke up and seems it had snowed. And a screenshot or two below but man does this map look pretty. In my opinion its the best looking map in the game as whilst from a gameplay perspective in can be a pain in the arse sometimes, I wouldn't change map.
I did what I am going to call the "dailies" as above, eg fed cows, chickens etc, everything listed above for Jan.
Biogas income was consistent at £25k last month again.
I also activated my cake production for the first time, and produces some.... cakes although not many yet. Cake production is basically going to be a massive balancing act, with so many sub productions (grain mill, diary, suger mill etc) feeding in to it, I reckon it'll take many in game years to get that right.
Sales:
Corn Gluten Meal (from central ethanol production which is a mod) 245k @ 1,313 for a total of £367k - this is actually quite dissapointing. This is effectively the result of half a million litres of Soybeans, which I will selling for over a million directly. However....the product does also make Diesel and or Ethanol (depending on the crop) and without properly logging these its hard to work out how much total I am making.
End money: £1,011,750
I am also baffled by the end money, although I looked in the finance screen it said total income was £410k, which still doesnt add up, well if anything I have more money then I should an I dont understand why, I am not cheating! The only thing I can think of is how some of the Biogas income is coming through maybe as "misc" but I took a screen of the finances screen anyway. I am not complaining.
loading manure in to the biogas plant.
.
No purpose of the above other than damn does this map look pretty.
Edit: I'm a ********, start money for Feb was £582,779, so it makes sense now.
