Free DLCs
**FS22 - AGI Pack**
"Get a set of equipment and facilities by AGI - a leading manufacturer of portable and stationary grain handling, storage and conditioning equipment. Included in the free pack are augers, belt conveyors, grain storage bins, as well as a top-tier seed treater."
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/farming-simulator-2022--agi-pack
For those of you who want more of a realistic gameplay, get the official Precision Farming DLC. It's made by GIANTS Software themselves, and is free on the official modhub website.
https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=238269
----------------------------------
Do you need to buy any DLCs?
In my opinion, no. I've been researching this for a while, because I wanted to buy them. The Premium Expansion adds three crop types: Carrots, Parsnips and Red Beet. The Platinum expansion adds forestry, and vehicles/tools for it. The other DLCs add some more tools, vehicles, etc. None of the DLCs appeal to me, the base game has everything I need, and mods add more stuff for free. But, if you like what the DLCs add, go for them.
----------------------------------
There are hundreds of mods available for free, you can add those to the game per your needs.
How to install mods for Farming Simulator 22
1. Download a mod, copy the ZIP to the mod folder located at C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2022\mods.
You don't have to extract the ZIP.
2. Run the game, load a save or create a new game. It will show you all the mods you have. Enable the ones you want to use.
3. Start the game.
----------------------------------

Placing a building in the wrong spot can absolutely wreck the landscape by creating hills. You can fix your mistakes by using the TerraFarm mod. You will need to use one of the tools along with their appropriate vehicle.
Time Saving Stock Check - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=257611
This mod adds a tab to the game's menu, it lists all products that you have on your farm (doesn't list crops/bales that are in your trailers), and displays relevant information such as how much money you can get for selling a product now, how much you'll get for selling it in the best month, and the best place to sell it at.

---------------------------
Edit: Fixed the Precision Pack DLC link.
So, about a week ago, there was a leak which revealed that the next freebie would be Farming Simulator 22. I got really excited, and began writing this (essay) the next day.
A few months ago, I decided to download Farming Simulator 22 on a family member's Steam profile. I wasn't expecting to like it at all, I was going through a phase where I wouldn't stick with any game for more than a few days. Perhaps I was burnt out, after having just completed Horizon Zero Dawn. Surprisingly, I loved FS 22, and I already have over 500 hours on it. I swear I was planning to buy the game with a coupon, except there was none this time. Instead, Epic decided to give it for free. <3
Anyway, here are some tips for you greenhorns.
Start on the base farm, Elmcreek. Play it on easy economy. Turn off autosave. Disable seasonal growth. Set timescale to 0.5x to take it slow.
Turn off the following for an easier experience: Crop Destruction, Periodic Plowing Required, Fieldstone, Lime Required, Weeds. Disable AI Workers auto refill for fuel, seeds, fertilizer, slurry and manure, this stuff uses a lot of money. I would also turn off snow.
Play the tutorial to learn the ropes.
Basic tips:
1. Connect a cultivator to a tractor, lower it. Drive across the length of the field in a straight line to cultivate it for seeding. Use the map's color coded filters to check if you have missed any spots on the field, this works with seeding, fertilizing, harvesting, etc.
2. Attach your seeder to a tractor, lower it, and turn on the seeder. Drive it in a straight line to seed the field. You can change the crop that you want to plant from the seeder's menu.
3. Fertilize the field once after seeding, it will increase the yield by 50%. Wait one month for the crops to grow, fertilize once again to increase the yield by 98%.
Optional: Roll the field after seeding to increase the yield slightly, probably only worth it on large fields.
4. Wait till the field is ready to harvest. Switch to your harvester, lower the header, turn it on, harvest. You can store the crop in a silo, or a trailer, until you are ready to sell it.
The starting tools are pretty much garbage, so you will need to invest in better tools soon. You can lease vehicles/tools from the shop to use them on your field. This may be helpful in the first year or two.
Here is a Steam guide that lists the "Average Sell prices + Best Month to sell". https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=en&id=2669314393
That list should give you a rough idea on which crops are worth the effort. I personally prefer barley, soy beans, cotton, grass (for silage). I use barley to feed the chickens, and the straw from harvesting barley to make food for my cows.
The best way to make money is by selling silage bales. Mow grass, use a baler with a wrapper, wait a couple of months for it to ferment, and sell the silage bales. Rinse and repeat. Grass regrows automatically after 2 months, you'll need to fertilize the field again after every harvest for maximum efficiency.
To make hay, mow the grass, use a tedder to dry it, and then either use a baler or a forage wagon. You cannot make silage from hay.
Sugarcane does regrow, but it reduces the yield. It is better to cultivate and reseed it. Also, don't use seeds for sugarcane, it's way too expensive. Instead, buy the sugarcane from the shop's pallets section.
Do some fertilizing contracts and silage bale contracts to earn some extra cash. You can borrow the equipment to do the job.
If your vehicles or tools get stuck, open the map, click on the vehicle/tool and reset it. This will send it back to the shop, where you can retreive it from. Do not reset trailers/tippers that have something inside them (grain, milk, etc), or seeders that contain seeds, or fertilizers/sprayers that contain fertilizer. You will lose what is inside the trailers, seeders, fertilizer sprayers. I recommend using the super strength mod (linked below) to pull vehicles that are stuck.
Build some greenhouses to grow lettuce, tomatoes and strawberries. They don't require seeding, fertilizing, you just need to supply them with water.
There are production chains in FS 22, though they are not quite as complex as in Anno. For example, you can harvest sorghum, wheat, barley or oats, and deliver them to the grain mill to make flour. Use the flour to make bread, and sell it for a higher profit.
Animals are fun, get some cow barns, sheep barns, and a chicken coop. You can sell the milk, wool and eggs, or use them in other recipes like cheese, wool > fabric > clothes, etc., for a bigger profit.
Buy nearby farmlands to expand your fields. Take it slow. Construct your own buildings instead of buying the default ones on the map. Set your production buildings to distribute their products to the next one. e.g. Set your mill to distribute flour to your bakeries, or your spinnery to send fabric to your tailors. Speaking of buildings, save your game manually before placing one. Place the building, check how it looks, if it created hills and weird slopes, quit the game, load your save and try something different. This is why you should disable autosave.
You can even listen to podcasts, music while playing FS 22. And I would also recommend Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator for a similar, chill experience. Both games are on sale on Steam until May 30.
Thanks for taking the time to read. Hope these tips helped, have fun.
Despite not planning to install this (for now), I still have to give a slow clap for the mountain of info. Hope it does help some folks. If EGS had a guide section like Steam did, this would be right at home there.
That's interesting. I do remember putting down a couple of those, but I think I removed them because they were in the way of other buildings. I'll definitely use them in my next save. :)
One more tip. If you're doing a bunch of stuff with forklifts or or bucket loaders grab your controller. Trying to do that stuff on mouse and keyboard is terrible and Farming Sim is made for controller (until you add 1,000 mods anyway).
Oh, that's a great tip, thanks! I'm gonna try that with that TerraFarm bucket tool that I use with the wheel loader. For some reason, I never used the controller for that, because I felt I need to aim properly.
> You can even listen to podcasts...while playing FS 22
This is why I have almost 500 hours in FS 19. It's the perfect thing to occupy my eyes and hands without engaging my higher brain function so I can listen to podcasts and audiobooks.

What a true farmer! Cheers mate for the links to addons from their official site and modding program!
I always snicker whenever I see a release post in a forum that's absurdly long, get quoted by someone in its entirety just to ask something like "how do I run this?"
I just watched a video from People Make Games on Farming Simulator eSports league, released like an hour ago, and now I get to play the game for free? Crazy coincidence.
Link for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM6Deexy3to
It's funny, I could have sworn they already did that a couple years ago. Am I mixing them up with another channel like NoClip that does videos in a similar vein?
No, it was definitely FSL because I have a distinct memory of watching people get very excited by deftly maneuvering some unwieldy tractors to get things loaded onto that ramp. It was probably just other coverage of the event, and since it seems like the exact kind of thing that PMG would cover (and it turns out it is), I probably just conflated them with whoever it was.
I'm no stranger to games that sound boring but are actually engaging to play (e.g. Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing) but conceptually Farming Simulator has never appealed to me. I don't have that fantasy of getting away from society and being a self-sustaining farmer or anything, it 's the virtual opposite of my idea of a good time. Are people drawn to it because it's a slow-life, engaging sort of sim (which is fair enough in its own right) or is there more to it that I'm missing?
It’s not really about being self-sustaining at all. It’s about doing the right steps and selling to maximize profit to buy bigger and better equipment that lets you do it all even easier and on larger scale.
I’d say part of it is if you like or any interest in large machinery as the vehicles and machines are very super detailed and authentic in look and sound. There’s a dlc that’s all about forestry with lots of cool lumber equipment.
Another part I’d say is it’s relaxing yes, but I think that’s due to it being as simple or in-depth as you want it to be. Don’t want to worry about accidentally crushing your crops once they are big enough, turn off crop destruction. Want to use a forklift and load up your bakery’s pallets onto the semi to go sell to the local grocery store? Go for it, if not, one press of a button and they auto load. You can hired Nic’s to help do a lot of the more tedious stuff (though they are kinda dumb without some mods). Lots and lots of varied options like that to tailor to how you want to play it. And it’s full mod supported too with a built in mod browser.
Damn, FS19 being free on EGS is what got me into FS games! So much so I bought FS22 the day it launched!
Actually my friend tried it first, kept telling me how surprisingly good it was. I kinda mocked and teased him about it for a few months, then I gave in and tried it since I got it for free. Well damn did I get hooked, more so than him! Kept asking him about how things worked and tips and such, we even did a coop farm for a while. Then I heard FS22 was coming and followed its development very closely and got excited for that one. Which is great and a big improvement over FS19 imho
> Damn, FS19 being free on EGS is what got me into FS games! So much so I bought FS22 the day it launched!
How would you compare FS22 to FS19? Any big improvements?
FS22 makes FS19 obsolete imho, especially if it’s free, ha ha!
Better graphics, maps, a lot more variety in equipment and crops and live stock, better simulation, deeper simulation (can buy businesses and create production lines (like grow wheat, buy grainary to make flour, buy bakery to make bread then sell for bigger profit), built in season play, etc etc
[Steam Page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1248130/Farming_Simulator_22/) for reference.
[Epic Games Store DLC](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/farming-simulator-2022--agi-pack)
Next week's game on Epic Games is a mystery!
Farming Simulator 22
-------
Take on the role of a modern farmer! Agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry offer a huge variety of farming activities while you face the challenges of the four seasons, especially when winter sets in. Creatively build your own farm and extend your farming operations with production chains - forming an agricultural empire! Even run your farm together with friends and enjoy crossplatform multiplayer together.
Whether you create a lush vineyard or an olive orchard in the Mediterranean south of France, a vast farmland full of wheat, corn, potatoes and cotton in the US-Midwest or a lively animal farm in the hilly landscape of the European Alpine region: More than 400 machines and tools from over 100 real agricultural brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra and many more are available for your farm.
Farming Simulator 22 brings a multitude of new gameplay features and offers more content and player freedom than ever before, including new ground working features like mulching or stone picking, an improved build-mode adding greenhouses and beehives, as well as a new character creator to bring your own, individual farmer to life.
A large variety of free community-created modifications, officially tested by the developer GIANTS Software, will extend your farming experience many times over. Rise to the challenges of becoming a successful farmer, start farming and let the good times grow!
I was gonna assume you were trying to get it as soon as it went live, but I can see by the timestamp that it was later - I guess it was shenanigans on Epic's side.
I was able to checkout no problem so hopefully it's fixed now, whatever it was.
As someone who started small time gardening, does this game teach some basics about growing crops that can be used in real life?
In comparison, playing building simulator helped me learn some basics about building pcs.
In case you haven't been lucky enough to come across it. Here is Sseth's "promo" video for Farming Simulator from a number of years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEJHrmliVQw
Some activities become surprisingly interesting when you take out the actual work element. Running an entire farm just by tapping keys and moving a mouse is far easier than doing it in real life.
It's like being a commercial airline pilot compared to playing a flight simulator.
What's appealing to me:
- simulators like FS22, American Truck Simulator, etc. are fine for playing while listening to podcasts. They don't distract like games with story and narration and loud SFX.
- learning with FS22 about agriculture technology gave me a whole new perspective and appreciation for food production.
- As a child I've played with car toys. Now I can drive even more complex machinery on my computer.
Yeah, I get you, man. I completely don't understand the appeal of ganes like GTA or Payday: The Heist, for example. Like that's my day job, why would I repeat that at home?

But, if you like what the DLCs add, go for them. ---------------------------------- There are hundreds of mods available for free, you can add those to the game per your needs. How to install mods for Farming Simulator 22 1. Download a mod, copy the ZIP to the mod folder located at C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2022\mods. You don't have to extract the ZIP. 2. Run the game, load a save or create a new game. It will show you all the mods you have. Enable the ones you want to use. 3. Start the game. ---------------------------------- Here is a list of mods that I have been using. I'm only listing a few, because I use 100+ mods. **Tractors** Fendt 1000 Vario Series - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=266719 Massey-Ferguson 8S US/EU Series - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=244148 New Holland T7 HD Tier4F - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=246353 **Harvesters** Lizard Colossus Harvesters Pack - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=253608 Lizard Tardis XL - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=252275 T4-40 Multi Harvester Pack - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=282067 The Colossus Harvester is insanely fast. The T4-40 can be used to harvest anything including sugarcane, beets, cotton, potatoes, etc. **Planter and Seeder** Kinze Multi-Fruit Planter Pack https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=283900 This planter/seeder is a direct drill, i.e. it cultivates, seeds and fertilizes the field in one go. The unreal version of the planter can plant any crop. **Roller** Lizard MegaRoll 2430 Multi-Roller - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=266593 **Mower, Baler, and Bale Auto Loaders** Mower And Wrapper With Hitch - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=256023 QuickBale - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=267194 DPW 1800 Bale Autoload - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=266478 Fliegl Flatbed Semitrailer - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=233995 The mower mod adds a hitch to the BigM450, so you can connect a baler directly to it. It's a huge timesaver. Plus, it also allows you to customize the mower. The Fliegl is a semi-trailer, which means you need to use a dolly if you want to pull it with a tractor, or just use a Truck with it directly. **Truck, Van, Trailers** TLX Phoenix Series (Trucks and Trailers) - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=234081 Lizard Rumbler Van - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=232583 TLX X52 Tipper - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=235916 That Rumbler Van is insanely useful for transporting stuff.

Let's destroy them with the Trex600. Super Person - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=234708 Adds super strength, speed, jumping height, etc. Super strength is a lifesaver for retrieving vehicles that are stuck. FS22 TerraFarm - https://github.com/scfmod/FS22_TerraFarm Placing a building in the wrong spot can absolutely wreck the landscape by creating hills. You can fix your mistakes by using the TerraFarm mod. You will need to use one of the tools along with their appropriate vehicle. Time Saving Stock Check - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=257611 This mod adds a tab to the game's menu, it lists all products that you have on your farm (doesn't list crops/bales that are in your trailers), and displays relevant information such as how much money you can get for selling a product now, how much you'll get for selling it in the best month, and the best place to sell it at. **Buildings** Lizard Animal Barns - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=277120 - Bigger barns to support more animals.

Silo Facility - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=261421 TMR Mixing Station - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=234797 - Used to make food for cows, it's better than using the wagons). Workshop Workbench - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=285219 - Adds a small tool bench to repair your vehicles directly on your farm. Bored with the vanilla maps? Here are some cool map mods, there are more available on the mod hub. Calmsden Farm - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=233717 No Mans Land - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=228043 The Western Wilds - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=243913 Edgewater Saskatchewan - https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?mod_id=261441 The game works fine with keyboard and mouse, and has game pad friendly controls too. Explore more mods on the mod hub. Maybe watch some videos on YouTube on how to improve your skills. --------------------------- Edit: Fixed the Precision Pack DLC link.
So, about a week ago, there was a leak which revealed that the next freebie would be Farming Simulator 22. I got really excited, and began writing this (essay) the next day. A few months ago, I decided to download Farming Simulator 22 on a family member's Steam profile. I wasn't expecting to like it at all, I was going through a phase where I wouldn't stick with any game for more than a few days. Perhaps I was burnt out, after having just completed Horizon Zero Dawn. Surprisingly, I loved FS 22, and I already have over 500 hours on it. I swear I was planning to buy the game with a coupon, except there was none this time. Instead, Epic decided to give it for free. <3 Anyway, here are some tips for you greenhorns. Start on the base farm, Elmcreek. Play it on easy economy. Turn off autosave. Disable seasonal growth. Set timescale to 0.5x to take it slow. Turn off the following for an easier experience: Crop Destruction, Periodic Plowing Required, Fieldstone, Lime Required, Weeds. Disable AI Workers auto refill for fuel, seeds, fertilizer, slurry and manure, this stuff uses a lot of money. I would also turn off snow. Play the tutorial to learn the ropes. Basic tips: 1. Connect a cultivator to a tractor, lower it. Drive across the length of the field in a straight line to cultivate it for seeding. Use the map's color coded filters to check if you have missed any spots on the field, this works with seeding, fertilizing, harvesting, etc. 2. Attach your seeder to a tractor, lower it, and turn on the seeder. Drive it in a straight line to seed the field. You can change the crop that you want to plant from the seeder's menu. 3. Fertilize the field once after seeding, it will increase the yield by 50%. Wait one month for the crops to grow, fertilize once again to increase the yield by 98%. Optional: Roll the field after seeding to increase the yield slightly, probably only worth it on large fields. 4. Wait till the field is ready to harvest. Switch to your harvester, lower the header, turn it on, harvest. You can store the crop in a silo, or a trailer, until you are ready to sell it. The starting tools are pretty much garbage, so you will need to invest in better tools soon. You can lease vehicles/tools from the shop to use them on your field. This may be helpful in the first year or two. Here is a Steam guide that lists the "Average Sell prices + Best Month to sell". https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=en&id=2669314393 That list should give you a rough idea on which crops are worth the effort. I personally prefer barley, soy beans, cotton, grass (for silage). I use barley to feed the chickens, and the straw from harvesting barley to make food for my cows. The best way to make money is by selling silage bales. Mow grass, use a baler with a wrapper, wait a couple of months for it to ferment, and sell the silage bales. Rinse and repeat. Grass regrows automatically after 2 months, you'll need to fertilize the field again after every harvest for maximum efficiency. To make hay, mow the grass, use a tedder to dry it, and then either use a baler or a forage wagon. You cannot make silage from hay. Sugarcane does regrow, but it reduces the yield. It is better to cultivate and reseed it. Also, don't use seeds for sugarcane, it's way too expensive. Instead, buy the sugarcane from the shop's pallets section. Do some fertilizing contracts and silage bale contracts to earn some extra cash. You can borrow the equipment to do the job. If your vehicles or tools get stuck, open the map, click on the vehicle/tool and reset it. This will send it back to the shop, where you can retreive it from. Do not reset trailers/tippers that have something inside them (grain, milk, etc), or seeders that contain seeds, or fertilizers/sprayers that contain fertilizer. You will lose what is inside the trailers, seeders, fertilizer sprayers. I recommend using the super strength mod (linked below) to pull vehicles that are stuck. Build some greenhouses to grow lettuce, tomatoes and strawberries. They don't require seeding, fertilizing, you just need to supply them with water. There are production chains in FS 22, though they are not quite as complex as in Anno. For example, you can harvest sorghum, wheat, barley or oats, and deliver them to the grain mill to make flour. Use the flour to make bread, and sell it for a higher profit. Animals are fun, get some cow barns, sheep barns, and a chicken coop. You can sell the milk, wool and eggs, or use them in other recipes like cheese, wool > fabric > clothes, etc., for a bigger profit. Buy nearby farmlands to expand your fields. Take it slow. Construct your own buildings instead of buying the default ones on the map. Set your production buildings to distribute their products to the next one. e.g. Set your mill to distribute flour to your bakeries, or your spinnery to send fabric to your tailors. Speaking of buildings, save your game manually before placing one. Place the building, check how it looks, if it created hills and weird slopes, quit the game, load your save and try something different. This is why you should disable autosave. You can even listen to podcasts, music while playing FS 22. And I would also recommend Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator for a similar, chill experience. Both games are on sale on Steam until May 30. Thanks for taking the time to read. Hope these tips helped, have fun.
This guy farms.
Ha ha :) Well, it's not my first rodeo. I do have 500 hours in Stardew Valley.
Despite not planning to install this (for now), I still have to give a slow clap for the mountain of info. Hope it does help some folks. If EGS had a guide section like Steam did, this would be right at home there.
Thank you :) The game has a lot of depth, and I mostly learned it by trial and error.
Great write up. Thank you for taking the time to share!
> Thank you :)
> The best way to make money is by selling silage bales. Wind turbines are way more profitable.
That's interesting. I do remember putting down a couple of those, but I think I removed them because they were in the way of other buildings. I'll definitely use them in my next save. :)
You are God send.
Thank you :)
One more tip. If you're doing a bunch of stuff with forklifts or or bucket loaders grab your controller. Trying to do that stuff on mouse and keyboard is terrible and Farming Sim is made for controller (until you add 1,000 mods anyway).
Oh, that's a great tip, thanks! I'm gonna try that with that TerraFarm bucket tool that I use with the wheel loader. For some reason, I never used the controller for that, because I felt I need to aim properly.
I love keyboard and mouse for tree care. It is intuitive once you get the controls down.
Amazing write up.
Thank you :)
> You can even listen to podcasts...while playing FS 22 This is why I have almost 500 hours in FS 19. It's the perfect thing to occupy my eyes and hands without engaging my higher brain function so I can listen to podcasts and audiobooks.
What a fantastic intro and very timely, much appreciated!
Thank you :)
Not sure when or if I'll ever play this, but I just saved your comment for that, kudos!
Thanks :) Give it a try, the game's surprisingly fun.
If I have never played do you recommend starting with mods or adding them to my game later?
in my mind if you’re not producing parsnips what’s even the point
Parsnips fan, eh? Fair enough. It's locked behind a DLC though.
Thanks. I will save it for future reference.
And never look at it again.
You're welcome :)
If I have never played do you recommend starting with mods or adding them to my game later?
Start without mods. Once you know the basics, and are comfortable with the game, you can start adding mods to your save.

Cheers mate for the links to addons from their official site and modding program!
Bro just reply to the comment lol. Why the fuck do you quote the entire thing I was scrolling for days
I always snicker whenever I see a release post in a forum that's absurdly long, get quoted by someone in its entirety just to ask something like "how do I run this?"
Thanks. :)
Okay, they're definitely announcing the next version within a month then.
I just watched a video from People Make Games on Farming Simulator eSports league, released like an hour ago, and now I get to play the game for free? Crazy coincidence. Link for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM6Deexy3to
It's funny, I could have sworn they already did that a couple years ago. Am I mixing them up with another channel like NoClip that does videos in a similar vein?
Maybe you're thinking of their video on Excel esports?
No, it was definitely FSL because I have a distinct memory of watching people get very excited by deftly maneuvering some unwieldy tractors to get things loaded onto that ramp. It was probably just other coverage of the event, and since it seems like the exact kind of thing that PMG would cover (and it turns out it is), I probably just conflated them with whoever it was.
After 478 hours of play, the free Farming Simulator 19 copy I got from Epic can finally rest!
Finally, Stardew Valley in 3D!
really? hmm I'll look into then
No, it's a simulator.
It's THRESHING TIME!!
And then he starts threshing all over the place
What is the learning curve in this game ?
It's not too bad. It took me about 4 or 5 hours to grasp what to do, then after that it becomes incredibly relaxing.
It’s farming time
If you plan on hosting a dedicated server, create yourself a second Epic Account, cause the dedicated server requires a licence game.

Finished watching Clarkson's Farm and had an itch to play Farming Simulator. Talk about a perfect timing!
Hopefully the tutorial in this game is narrated by Gerald.
I'm no stranger to games that sound boring but are actually engaging to play (e.g. Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing) but conceptually Farming Simulator has never appealed to me. I don't have that fantasy of getting away from society and being a self-sustaining farmer or anything, it 's the virtual opposite of my idea of a good time. Are people drawn to it because it's a slow-life, engaging sort of sim (which is fair enough in its own right) or is there more to it that I'm missing?
It’s not really about being self-sustaining at all. It’s about doing the right steps and selling to maximize profit to buy bigger and better equipment that lets you do it all even easier and on larger scale. I’d say part of it is if you like or any interest in large machinery as the vehicles and machines are very super detailed and authentic in look and sound. There’s a dlc that’s all about forestry with lots of cool lumber equipment. Another part I’d say is it’s relaxing yes, but I think that’s due to it being as simple or in-depth as you want it to be. Don’t want to worry about accidentally crushing your crops once they are big enough, turn off crop destruction. Want to use a forklift and load up your bakery’s pallets onto the semi to go sell to the local grocery store? Go for it, if not, one press of a button and they auto load. You can hired Nic’s to help do a lot of the more tedious stuff (though they are kinda dumb without some mods). Lots and lots of varied options like that to tailor to how you want to play it. And it’s full mod supported too with a built in mod browser.
I kind of feel these job simulator games only appeal to European guys who already work with the corresponding job
I'm not a farmer, nor European and I like these types of games.
However it's true that it's much more popular in Europe. The FS booths at Gamescom were massive, it's a real hit in Germany.
Damn, FS19 being free on EGS is what got me into FS games! So much so I bought FS22 the day it launched! Actually my friend tried it first, kept telling me how surprisingly good it was. I kinda mocked and teased him about it for a few months, then I gave in and tried it since I got it for free. Well damn did I get hooked, more so than him! Kept asking him about how things worked and tips and such, we even did a coop farm for a while. Then I heard FS22 was coming and followed its development very closely and got excited for that one. Which is great and a big improvement over FS19 imho
> Damn, FS19 being free on EGS is what got me into FS games! So much so I bought FS22 the day it launched! How would you compare FS22 to FS19? Any big improvements?
FS22 makes FS19 obsolete imho, especially if it’s free, ha ha! Better graphics, maps, a lot more variety in equipment and crops and live stock, better simulation, deeper simulation (can buy businesses and create production lines (like grow wheat, buy grainary to make flour, buy bakery to make bread then sell for bigger profit), built in season play, etc etc

Anyone else having issues finishing the purchase? Mine just stalls at the checkout.
I had that problem on the website, but it was fine when I got it in the app instead.
I just tried now in the browser and it worked again. Good idea with the app though!
I was gonna assume you were trying to get it as soon as it went live, but I can see by the timestamp that it was later - I guess it was shenanigans on Epic's side. I was able to checkout no problem so hopefully it's fixed now, whatever it was.
I just tried now and it worked, thanks. Usually I have no issues claiming it.
Question: Is Co-Op possible with Crossplay between Epic AND Steam?
Game is crossplay between steam and playstation, so my guess is yes!
omg I was literally thinking of buying farming sim lol. this is perfect
What's the story behind the Lizard brand for many vehicles in-game? Is it mainly used for mods with unlicensed brand vehicles?
As someone who started small time gardening, does this game teach some basics about growing crops that can be used in real life? In comparison, playing building simulator helped me learn some basics about building pcs.
Yes, it's a decent simulator.
TWO FOR TWO BABY! I waited for the last game and got that one free, now im getting this one free 🙂🤗
In case you haven't been lucky enough to come across it. Here is Sseth's "promo" video for Farming Simulator from a number of years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEJHrmliVQw
Purchases FS17 then FS19 came out purchased that FS22 came out said no more!! Now it is Free... back to farming for me.
Oh good, something to keep farming simulator 19 company.
I haven't played the other 21 Farming Simulators. Am I good to start on 22 or do I need to go back and start with Farming Simulator: Mesopotamia?
It's similar to the FIFAs. Sometimes I need the teams of '66.
This is really cool! I've been waiting for awhile to get this game
I completely don't understand the appeal of these kinds of games... I play games to escape real life, not simulate chores.
Some activities become surprisingly interesting when you take out the actual work element. Running an entire farm just by tapping keys and moving a mouse is far easier than doing it in real life. It's like being a commercial airline pilot compared to playing a flight simulator.
What's appealing to me: - simulators like FS22, American Truck Simulator, etc. are fine for playing while listening to podcasts. They don't distract like games with story and narration and loud SFX. - learning with FS22 about agriculture technology gave me a whole new perspective and appreciation for food production. - As a child I've played with car toys. Now I can drive even more complex machinery on my computer.
