Yeah, I’m going to finish this game up once I have cereal production. Might start a new game, probably on No Man’s Land, but I might just wait until Courseplay is ready.
So put me in the boat of “I keep trying these games and just trailing off.” I think the concept is so cool, but I get really frustrated trying to figure things out, like many others have said. I’ll have to check out the academy. I was reading this thread some yesterday and fired up FS19 last night to remind myself, and I couldn’t remember how to get anything done and couldn’t figure out how to plant my field (had to hire the AI guy to do it because I couldn’t get the bloody sower to sow) and just…kept struggling with basic tasks.
I HAVE played a little way into 19 before, and I think 17 before that, it’s just so hard to keep it all straight.
Might have to snag 22, though…seems like there are some real nice improvements. I wanna remind myself again that I like the series, though…
Courseplay is close I thought, in beta anyway.
One of the other nice maps is also in Giants testing so that should release soon.
Calmsden Farm map is now out for FS22 and on the in-game modhub for both PC and console.
Last I checked they hadn’t implemented the “follow a harvester and unload” functionality yet, which is the main thing I want.
Very nice! I’ll be grabbing that. I’ve been taking breaks from FS22 as I wait for more maps, etc. One thing I’ve noticed is there is no decent way to scroll through all available mods on the in-game modhub. You get a “top” list, then it stops. Maybe I’m browsing it wrong but I end up having to hunt around for things I know are there, which isn’t goo.
Patch 1.3 is now live. The long awaited fix for multiple items:
Hello folks, Patch 1.3 for Farming Simulator 22 and 1.1 for the Claas Saddle Track Pack are currently going live (probably are already live for most platforms and regions). Please make sure you update your game and check our changelogs here:

Bummer
We need more stone picker options. I’ve only got stones enabled on one map I’m playing but don’t remember anything but offset stone tools, no tow behind tools.
The most expensive one is tow behind I think. Certainly more so than the cheap yellow one.
Sounds like the bales in shop fix requires a new save. Ooof. :(
I find the bales thing pretty hilarious so am a little sad to see it fixed.
Rather late with this but there’s finally a date - 19 April - and at least some details, on Precision Farming. Planning to start up a new farm when it releases.
Also, I like the look of this mod. I have so many sloppy stacks of bales all over my farm.
To add to this, they have been approving a ton of new maps into the modhub as well. I’m a hundred hours into the Hobo’s Hollow 4x map. This is also the first time I’ve really had to lean on contract work as my primary income for a foreseeable amount of time within the map. It’s huge, thus most of the fields are huge and costly, so I’m doing a ton of contract work just to build up tools and money for more fields.
I’ve also fallen back on this game in a big way and racked up a ton of hours in it last month and this month.
@Ginger_Yellow what all does precision farming do? EDIT: Nevermind, took a link from that reddit post and read up on it. A lot more in-depth for farming, crops and soil. What I can’t tell is how much harder that makes farming or more costly, etc.
More Precision Farming details:
Good gracious. Just as I was feeling I got the hang of a lot of this, they change it up! Looking forward to it though.
I’m slowly plodding through Hobo’s Hollow map, which I love. I figured out that I could buy and place sell points and the game will use those in contracts for other fields, which is pretty cool. But this game has become my go to time waster while being at home. Steam tells me I’m over 700 hours, but I also know a lot of those are with the game paused while I work in the background or am between tasks at the house.
This sounds like it makes potatoes more involved:
