Tips & Tricks for Farming Simulator 19

Farming Simulator 19 in few words

The basic question for many players is: What is the difference between Farming Simulator 19 and
the previous versions? Is it worth buying it? In my opinion - yes.

Compared to the previous versions (numbered 15 and 17), there have been many changes and
modifications. Below are the main arguments in favor of Farming Simulator 19.

1. New game engine: improved graphics and animations; completely new physics - the control
of vehicles is more realistic and complex (unfortunately, AI employees remain unchanged
and can cause some quite unusual problems).
2. Huge number of machines:- the number of vehicles featured in the basic version of the
game equals, if not exceeds, the number of machines from the previous installment and its
DLCs put together; in addition, the game includes brands such as John Deere, AGCO, Case
IH, KUHN, Stara, Ropa, and many others. In total, there are 102 brands of tractors,
harvesters and equipment in this installment.
3. More complex mechanics and greater realism: the game introduces elements such as the
appearance of weeds in the fields that need to be weeded; lime - which helps to maintain the
high quality of the soil and is required for the creation of new fields, vehicle breakdowns
with high levels of wear.
4. Improved gameplay dynamics: In this part of the game, you no longer start with tiny steps
to cultivate half a hectare of fields. There are complex and multi-purpose machines that can
generate yields from tens of thousands of liters of crops.
5. Ability to combine multiple machines into one: this option is already known from
previous parts - two machines work together. This time you can mix machines from
different brands and create constructions which, for example, plow, sow and cultivate or
fertilize at the same time: and all that simply by adapting the machine's components to your
current needs.
6. New crops and livestock: three new plants are added to the pool of crops: rye, cotton and
sugar cane (while retaining those introduced in the previous installments); now also horses
are available for animal husbandry.
 7. Real estate and buildings: you are no longer dependent on predefined locations on maps.
Would you like to have a cattle farm next to your plot? No problem - just build it! You don't
have a place to store your machines on in new location? Build a shed.

Release price (PC): 34.99 EUR (Steam).

Novelties and changes in Farming Simulator 19

103 machine brands are at the player's disposal.

Farming Simulator 19 introduces a lot of new things compared to the previous installments of the
series. Many elements of mechanics have also been changed: some machines work differently,
some processes are subject to different operating rules. If you are a veteran of the series, below you
will find the most important information about what you should pay attention to in this part of the
game:

1. Many machines can be combined: look for e.g. cultivators with 3-point connections behind
them or hooks for attaching a trailer.
2. Every new field you create needs to be fertilized with lime for the first time. You must use it
(you can turn it off in the game options) on your fields every third sowing and harvest to
maintain a high quality level of the field - otherwise the harvest will be 15% lower. You can
buy lime in the shop or get it from a collection point; there are two machines that can be
found in the Fertilizer Technology tab in the shop (they can also be used for spreading solid
manure).
3. Weeds will appear periodically on the fields. To get rid of them, use weeders or chemical
spraying that destroys unfriendly plants (weeds can be destroyed before the crop;
unremoved weeds reduce the harvest by 20%). You can turn off weeds in the game options.
4. You can now empty everything to the ground: the contents of seeders, grains and other
things. To collect them later, simply use any loader.
5. You're the one responsible for buying buildings now: Do you want to have a pig farm next
to the potato field? No problem.
6. The possibility of sleeping has been introduced: build a farm where you can sleep.
 7. The importance of transport has been emphasized. You can't teleport vehicles or buy
seeds/fertilizers at collection points. Use semi-trailers to transport pallets or seed and
fertilizer from pallets (purchased in the store) directly to your fields so you don't have to
return to the store to fill the machine tanks.
8. You can buy all the things you need for husbandry in the shop: fodder, bales of hay, silage
or straw.

Two new types of cultivating/ploughing machines have been introduced:

1. Disc harrows- they are characterized by a much lower tractor load during work, it is worth
taking an interest in them when you can't afford strong tractors.
2. Subsoilers- you can use them just like a regular plough - plough the field periodically and
use them when planting root crops. They have a negligible load on the tractor and work
quickly, and you can connect some models of planters and seeders (with 3-point connection)
directly.
3. Power Harrows- a lightweight cultivator, to which some seeders and cultivators can be
connected.

Maps
The basic version of Farming Simulator 19 enables the player to use two maps as starting locations:

1. Ravenport- this is a map in a climate straight from the United States. It is mostly
characterized by large arable fields, lush vegetation characteristic for the USA, as well as
other elements of the environment: buildings, vehicles.
2. Felsbrunn- this map represents Germany. Mountainous landscapes and predominantly
coniferous trees are ideal for felling. You'll often encounter difficult terrain here: tight plots
of land surrounded by boulders or located on steep slopes.

Multiplayer
Farming Simulator 19 features a multiplayer mode. You can play games on the server for up to 16
people. You can create your own server or join one of the existing ones. If your computer or
bandwidth is too weak, you can rent a server "from outside": GIANTS offers the option of renting
dedicated servers; there are also many other places that offer servers and support.

1. In order to use the online mode on Steam, you must be Online: this prevents you from
sharing games with others and playing online games together.
2. The game does not have a split-screen mode,
3. The game does not have a LAN mode: the only connection is via the network (the server
you create on your own computer connects to the game manufacturer's server).

DLCs and mods

It is also possible to create and install mods. They will be available for download directly from the
game menu, through the so-called modhub, where you can search, download and install mods. They
can also be used in multiplayer mode as long as other users also have them.

Our mods section of our guide includes:

1. Mods list
2. How to install mods?
3. New maps
4. Tweak and scripts
5. New objects
6. New machines

Crops
In Farming Simulator 19 the player can grow plants such as: wheat, rye, oats, barley, rapeseed,
corn, sunflower, soya, potatoes, sugar beet, sugar cane, cotton, poplar for chips and trees. In
addition, you can also produce straw and grass, from which you can obtain hay and silage.
Farming Simulator 19 features many new options and crops, e.g. cotton.

You can breed the following animals: hens (produce eggs), pigs (provide manure), sheep (provide
wool), cows (milk and manure) and horses that require your attention and work to increase their
endurance and sell profitably.
