10 FEATURES YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT - Farming Simulator 25

[@wrk101]

I noticed that the traffic in the game perfectly emulates how people drive in real life: pulling out in front of you, cutting you off, not stopping when you have the right-of-way, etcetera.

[@surrrtan]

As an addicted plower, i noticed that the disc that cut the tilt is moving, and the extra blade on the plows is working now, and cut in the soil that is turn around by the plow. I also noticed that the screens in the tractors now have more working details - in the Same we got a little compass that cam be used to go straight without using the gps. Nice!

[@thedistractedcanadian4355]

Sorry for anyone this bothers but I gotta get it out.. coming from a family of farmers I always loved these games but recently I lost my uncle and I can’t wait for them to bring the old John Deere equipment back so I can get closer to my popa and my uncle Pete I think about you guys a lot and one day I’m gonna make a replica of the farms you guys had since you were both right down the road I just hope I can make you guys proud..

[@thedistractedcanadian4355]

@@unclebscustomrcandrepair it’s amazing how much these games can mean to us and the devs have no idea the impact it makes on us thank you giants for releasing this and making it more realistic each time my family are cattle farmers for the most part they still grew crops but cattle was the thing I can always remember being the topic of a lot of conversation

[@CSXRailfan6588]

They have some old John Deere mods on external mod sites

Tip #11 if you leave a loaded trailer at the animal unload point it will continuously feed the animals!

[@nirvanramdjanamsingh3574]

WOW😮😮

[@MODFARMER]

I found this out on the stationary baliler too

[@raptorcell6633]

A note for this is to still check your animals food, this feature occasionally decides to not work and you need to move out of the unload point and move back.

[@Royallblu]

this also works at production places. (when their storage is full)

[@T0X1C89]

It will do this even if you don't have a tractor hooked to it

[@Lucif3r_morningst4r666]

I found on ps5, if you go into the prices menu if you are at the top on barley and want to check the price of say wool, you have to scroll all the way down with the dpad, no you don't....... Press the R2 button and it moves down faster then press the L2 button and you go back up faster too, it just scrolls to the last product on the menu screen, much quicker 👍🏻😁

[@garrett8994]

Ty so much lol

[@JoriDiculous]

Nice! I play on PC with controller and the whole UI drives me nuts, so this was really helpful.

[@markdepew7049]

Thank you for that!

[@CoachLif3]

New to the farming sim world! after watching a few of your vids I decided to pick it up!! Enjoying it!! Something to play when you just want to chill! Good tips!

[@vespadoeliseu]

There's better and cheaper games for that. This is a bad co sole game. Poorly optimized and with bugs.

[@DampNoodles]

​@@vespadoeliseu shhhhh let people enjoy things... It's a farming sim. It's just not that deep guy.

[@acristiano12]

Best passive game on the market

[@vasaline_slime_gaming98]

one thing that sucks about FS25 is that the torch is it's own separate tool and you can't use the torch and chainsaw at the same time

[@icytoxic579]

I can’t wait for maps to come out that have steep hills to harvest with self leveling harvesters and when bigger ones come out with larger capacity’s

[@27hund1]

The absolute standout for me is the games sound design. Like the graphics upgrade (which is just expected) the sound design is a huge step up. Trailers rattle when you drive over a bump! some may say this is a small thing, but it goes a long way towards making the game feel alive.

[@justingriffin7197]

Or how the tractor sounds different when it has a load on the engine going up a hill or down a hill. The old John Deere 3650 base tractor sounds great

[@John_MAFT]

These little details just make it extra sweet 😋 loving the game so far!

[@jra2845]

On Ps5 while using the chainsaw begin cutting then press R1 it will continue sawing without holding the button

[@KSpartan]

Thanks for that, im currently working a lot with long chainsaw cuts.

[@BertVanHooiDonk]

Thnks bro

[@jra2845]

You can also delimb a tree by pressing the triangle button then pressing the circle button.

[@KSpartan]

Max weight for a transportable log by hand is 200kgs. Max cuttable length from the base of a log(to cut it through both sides) is 2 meters. That way you can cut very large logs into multiple long pieces that will go easily in the most affordable woodchiper. Dont cut the pieces too thin or they may disappear. When you pick up a piece, try hold it in the correct angle you need to put it in tje woodchiper. That way you dont have to adjust the angle after picking it up. That is currently the most efficient way i make woodchips with base game cheap equipment. Its still lots of manual and redundant work. But my first batch first year was 6 train(2 trains) wagons of 90000L. Earned me around 300000$ in hard economy, at the price of ~540$ per 1000L. I wont do that much every year. But even 1 wagon would make me happy if i dont want to spend too much time on chainsawing.

[@grit9938]

I don't care for the cultivation texture. Deep cultivation and seeded are nearly identical on my screen and makes seeding manually virtually impossible.

[@American-Out-Back]

There’s ridge markers to help

[@mysticstudios6922]

Lime the field right before seeding, should help distinguish the textures

[@tinkerstar40]

I love the new cultivation textures, makes it very realistic

[@grit9938]

@@tinkerstar40 Except it doesn't. The ground after a cultivator goes over looks entirely different than the ground after a seeder. Tine drill seeders look completely different from no-till seeders. It's usually very easy to tell where you have and have not been, unless your doing broadcast seeding over non-tilled ground.

[@tinkerstar40]

@@grit9938 well that's your own opinion

[@nightwolf7402]

I guess most of my work will be done in the rain so I don’t have grandpa watching over my every move. Great video, didn’t know most of these new features

[@kansasdude]

I don't remember if this was in 22 but in this game if your first person in combine and it's full and you pipe out, it'll beep when you pull up beside a trailer and the pipe is above the trailer

[@robwright2218]

With shallow cultivation I noticed that also when you've selected the option and used it, later when you exit and restart the game even thought the setting is still on shallow cultivation (and you've not detached the implement) you still have to cycle through the options and select shallow again in order the get shallow cultivation. This was with the standard in-game cultivator you get by default as a "New Farmer".

[@yourihuls6101]

Jupp.. I also noticed that with fertilizing... I discovered it with the working speed!

[@Screamindynos]

Didn’t know that about the auto leveling harvesters. There’s a few of them I’ve seen like that in Western Wisconsin. That’s an awesome feature for the fs series.

[@felixbergfors]

That self leveling combine is cool they are used alot in the Alps region in europe. And the cultivator is cool to

[@manuthiis8791]

This was available in FS22 with a mod, now Giants take it for free from the modder :(

[@JokeeGA5]

What I have noticed is that if you customize your shed with the solar panels, you don’t actually get an income out of it

[@bigmatthwpo]

I’ve noticed that not only will the npc’s go away during inclement weather, they will also go away after a certain time at night and not show up again until a certain time of the morning. Another thing I discovered is that when you are in deep enough water and in third person view your character will tread water and when you use the same buttons to walk or run your character will swim while in the water. Also while I was trying to get a ferry to come to me from across the river so I could use it to cross the river it wouldn’t start because a barge was going by and I couldn’t start it until the barge was completely passed the ferry.

[@jayweaver5623]

One time I had to wait for 2 barges to pass to use the ferry

[@ericbryan6911]

Don’t know why my brain does this but those auto-leveling harvesters must be a nightmare mechanically to fix lol

[@jrklock9399]

Love the video. I used to hate using header trailers because it was always a pain to get the header on the trailer in the right spot and even then it would fall off most of the time. I love how they added no you basically just need to set the header on the trailer and it will automatically put it in the correct position and lock it down. Keep up the great work man!!!

[@FarmerCop]

Thats a feature in FS22 as well haha :)

[@jrklock9399]

@FarmerCop oh...lol. well I hated them so much in 19 and earlier games idk that I ever gave them a chance in 22. Good to know. Thabks man

[@gachatocabunnytiger9612]

On #5, I noticed that the other day. Went to Farmer’s Market and went inside while raining and no one there ‘shopping.’ One thing I am disappointed about though is that the school bus and mailman run all night long. I tried testing and thought they stopped around 10, but I was just doing late field work and they passed by several times. It’s frustrating because they put them in for immersion…going all night breaks it immediately. Meanwhile on Oxygendavid’s CourtFarm, released for console, so I would think Giants could have coded this in, there was a repair truck that only appeared at certain times. Still love the game, but the bus/mailman thing really made me sad when I saw them running at night.

[@ChasePhillips-c9v]

That Mulched state is brilliant! the extra fertilized state mod in FS22 was too unrealistic, but this seems like the perfect balance!

[@harag9]

Didn't FS22 leave a mulched state if you spread it out rather than leave a swath?

[@deilapakserrion9927]

@@harag9 i think it was a mod straw harvest or chopped straw not at home so can't check

[@kevinwhite7941]

You had to mulch separate in 22, unless you were using a corn head with devestators or stalk stompers

[@dimes3967]

one thing I personally think useful is that, when holding the "cruise control" (key "3" as default) it auto max the speed without changing the set cruise speed. I didn't know that before, and I had to change the speed everytime I drive alongside the combine and then transport to silo

[@ikbenspeedy]

This is actually a great tip! Thanks!

[@CMDRsomeone77]

5:35 Several other cultivators have this function, you can tell by the description in the store. The biggest cultivator is one of the others with this.

[@FarmerCop]

I believe you, i tried 4 others that didnt but didnt try the biggest one

[@farmert7959]

That's so cool! 😎 Thanks for sharing this information. I hadn't noticed about 7 of those. I'm just now able to get really in to FS25.

Ive also noticed tree stumps and branches ect that you cut. When cut they are like a fresh cut but after a while they will start to change colour

[@magnusandersson230]

I have noticed several new and nice features that I really appreciate. The two that comes to mind right now is the bale counter. And also that you now can see the difference between fermenting silage bales and bales that are 100% silege. The wrap is different.

[@redridr86]

Didn't know that those 2 combines had leveling suspension. Thats awesome!

[@tehjehh]

A new feature I love is that you can customize the fences when you place an animal husbandry. You can now match it to the field instead of having those stupid rectangles.

[@MoDub18]

The realistic night sky with real stars and the Milky Way is one of the small details that make the game so beautifull.

[@oleandreas9628]

Here's some more: The smallest seeder can also do weeding. (Does not currently work with the AI tho) The krone square baler can equip a bale stacker. So it groups the bale's in 3. The largest krone trailer aswell as the red 3 in 1 semi tipper can load pallets with their moving floors

[@coltdavis256]

One tip I saw in a lets play that was picked up from the comments: Put down a small rice field, like 2x2m. Or the smallest you can, and you have an unlimited supply of water for greenhouses, animals on your farm. Hit the fill at the pump, tow your tank onto it and fill up. Saves so much time fetching water. 👌🏼

Tip #11. If you are doing corn silage, you can also harvest it in the green growing state before it turns yellow. This saves a growing stage so you can harvest more often.

Can I sell fertilizer/seeds/etc if I bought the wrong kind? 2. My AI keep starting from the inside of the field then works its way to the outer edges, is there a way to just get them to go back to straight back and forth? Thank you!

[@justinwalby5658]

Depending on the work you're doing, they will do headlands last, this way there's not tread marks in your field. I don't think you can set 0 as a value for headlands so there will always be at least 1 pass around the outside

I believe the auto levelling harvesters were added mid FS22 - Agco Ideal Paralevel (Fendt and Massey). However, it's nice to see them back in their Green and Red, rather than the generic Agco Black. Grandpa also wanders off in snow... and maybe the dog does too!!

[@neilharbott8394]

@@FarmerCop It was a late Giants add during one of their pre-DLC patches. There's a couple of pieces of equipment we got added after release as base game - IIRC the Valtra Tractors were added late, because the 2022 models were still under wraps when FS22 released, so were delayed on the Valtra (real world) release schedule.

Something I also noticed about the pallets is they age the longer you keep them my wool pallets have aged. The other thing is I always cut the corner coming and going from and too my farm the grass doesn't grow there anymore its now a mud road.

[@davethewolf]

Would love a video dedicated to not only root crops but more specifically the belt/conveyer system. Noticed they took out one of the lizard conveyors, guessing best way to load a pile of potatoes into a trailer is back to the old front loader method.

[@KSpartan]

For woodchips you can use the Fendt "grass" trailer. But it doesn't work with silage additive add-on(or maybe its when silage additive is loaded in it, idk). Maybe it's a bug(the no-silage additive restriction). I already lost too much money because of all of these key equipments missing. I recommend leasing everything to test things out. I usually dobt do that but i learned my lesson.

[@stevenpocius5976]
