A another soul has been consumed

[@blackmoon8459]

Jake, I'll say it again. The best results I have ever gotten when primarily running contracts, is to always borrow the equipment. You get 90% or so of the original value, with zero expense on your part. No fuel, no maintenance, no depreciation of the equipment. Nothing but upside. And that's if you're still doing the work yourself. Even if you have to pay a worker, you're still coming out ahead.

[@TheFormalPickle]

I agree, which is why we end up having the ai work the contracts while we focused on our own fields.

[@blackmoon8459]

I love your content btw, please don’t take my first line as a negative criticism or anything like that. It was more of a, “this worked for me, maybe it will work for you” type thing.

[@CadenSuttie]

@@blackmoon8459 do you have any other tips or anything? I just started and have no idea what I’m doing

[@hudibitekthesecond3235]

​@@CadenSuttieJust do silage, you cant go wrong with that

[@dakotahgoodin7232]

Going to court was entirely understandable this time around. Hahahahhaa. I also love the idea of 4 days per month. Maybe you’ll end up increasing the time but I’m stoked to watch it all play out!!

[@loganjiskra5242]

With the plow and gps, try halfing the track width with no offset

[@pelly06gaming7]

probably I would say grow corn and turn it into chaff then make that into silage, its a bit different from the last one where you did boring old grass while giving some complexity to the process. but the way I would go first is keep buying (or leasing) new land until you own big fields and you can turn that into big money

[@magickush5741]

“Pull the lever kronk” 😂 me anytime I press the wrong button

[@spacemanben6136]

You could literally see a tiny red part on the top right and centre left of the field where a spot was missed

[@CrabRackune]

That little cultivator thing got ya lol. I feel your pain. I've been playing on American Falls, and for some reason, harvesting contracts sometimes screw me over. Twice now, I've spent an hour or 2 harvesting a big field for someone, get completely done and it says only 97% completed (give or take). It can be very frustrating lmao. Anyways, I love the content! You and Papa Pickle are a joy to watch. Cheers

[@thom7557]

When I do contract root crops, I lease the collosus or t4-40 😂. The base game root crop equipment is brutal. Especially on a field larger than a hectare

[@blackmoon8459]

Agreed. That said, as much as I love the colossus stuff, if you configure it “right” it’s still as painful as the base game stuff. Or it’s so overpowered that it just doesn’t even feel fun anymore. And I’m not certain which is worse. But yeah, for root crops, “cheater” header even at normal width is a life saver just from being able to drive faster.

[@QuestingTruck]

Heh. Im pretty sure in our justice system you would be adding that 4k to your lawyers account not yours 😂

[@unaffected95]

I think you don't turn the plow at the end of a row when offset reversal is turned on

[@MeroxNorway]

wouldnt it just be easier to use a 4 meter subsoiler? still counts as plowing, cheap, less hP needed and wider

[@TommiHonkonen]

gs might work if you lift the packer then do auto width and offset and then lower packer

[@realWorsin]

I unknowingly picked up a massive beet job and regret it so while i work the field i pulled up this video LOL did not know the beginning when I pulled it up.

[@That_Gaming_Kid]

Are thise thumbnails ai generated because they are rly good at showing what you did on the ep like this 1 is a tractor pulling a plow good job jake

[@lethal2453]

Could just deliver the corn to the train station, silo it there.

[@PowerCheez]

CoursePlay is a good mod to increase the intelligence of the workers! :)

[@simo920]

I've got a question, how do you highlight fields in the minimap like that? On controller if possible?

[@audible_]

War Thunder the game that makes me wanna end it all but then I remember the f15 and I start playing again and repeat

[@cup_of_butter]

I think you should try wheat because you can bale it and make money off the grain🌾

[@SomeYouTubeGuy]

No you cannot bale wheat

[@tylermurray6459]

Take a shot everytime he says offset.

[@LetsGoBirds-zi1uj]

are u still trying to buy the map?

[@TheFormalPickle]

Yes

[@early2exit]

What mod is it that makes the used vehicle section bigger?

[@heints]

Farm Sim 25 trailer highlighted rice fields. The trailer was not weird at all, not at all.

[@bryanleong8233]

Rice would not be much working width. It is going to be time consuming like grapes and olives.

[@EvansProdz13]

is gps a pc only mod?

[@TheBeast0253]

day 34 of saying love this series (IM EARLY THIS TIME!)

[@derekseddon4856]

You need the lizard 6M plow.

[@wafflevidz2988]

i jave 19 and its hpa is confusing

“before major news” the whole teaser was announced, wdym “before major news”???

[@chaselocklear588]

Can you turn the real mud mod on

[@Itsspicy__]

what happened to the ats series?

[@TheFormalPickle]

Honestly, the farm has been so busy in real life that I have not found the time to put it into my schedule. I'm trying to, I still need to explore Nebraska! lol

[@Firasgamer69]

Day thrie ?

[@Blackwellll3066]

GPS for plowing seemed like a waste of.time and money

[@TheFormalPickle]

That is our EVERYTHING tractor so not a waste at all lol

[@Blackwellll3066]

@TheFormalPickle the GPS mod I think was waste of time and money

[@ryanorange5872]

Love th videos Jake can you live stream on this series

[@PedroHenriqueValenteMuniz]

Man, I've been watching for three episodes and you didn't progress anything. Can you please stop making videos of doing hire contracts only? Love your videos, bye.

[@TheFormalPickle]

No, That’s our business strategy lol there are real farmers who do only that all year long. It’s a completely valid agricultural focused business strategy. If you’re look for fast paced content that isn’t what you’ll find here. We’re about slowing things down and enjoying the moment.

[@filippocarletti3352]

You are never going to get to 1 billion lol, all you do is contract work yourself, that's gonna take forever

[@filippocarletti3352]

Also so boring to watch, if I wanted to see you go up and down for 40 mins, I'd do it myself

[@JohnDeere-jw7jf]

Love it

[@Firasgamer69]

Bro this is the second not third episod

[@TheFormalPickle]

It is number 3.

[@DroSo_]

First!

[@wqqdcraft]

i watch these videos and get inspired to play.. i have had the game for like a year now.. and every time i play.. i realize.. how fucking tedious and god damn boring this game can be.. and fucking hard.. like logging.. wtf, why i gotta like control every little part of the machine.. just let me auto it god damn it... harvesting is is a pain.. chickens are tedious.. baling.. that shit was the most god damn slowest bullshit ever hahahaha god damn i hate that shit! hahahaha i think im resigned to just enjoying the game via youtubers like yall! laaawl i still like the game, i guess i just dont like to play it

[@techcrafter6283]

if you want to use GPS more efficently you should only set the tool with of the actual Plow and find an ofset acordingly, because apparently GPS gets confused with the packer

[@Chuckyshobbies]

Yes he has the tool width to wide its counting the width of the cultivator as well. It need 0 offset and narrow the path to 1/2 the width he has it set.

[@TheFormalPickle]

I eventually figured it out, just might not have made the video.

[@techcrafter6283]

@@TheFormalPickle isnt this just typical😂

[@blitzdestroyer2.028]

After watching your series I decided to attempt the billion dollar challenge. No mods, no nothing, on hard mode, on Erlengrat. I went with the solar panels and windmill strategy and sleeping the rest of the time. On hard mode you spawn in with 500k and I was able to buy a small property and 3 windmills. Here is my progress below. End of year 1: 5 solar panels (93.5k each) End of year 2: 11 solar panels End of year 3: 18 solar panels End of year 4: 29 solar panels End of year 5: 46 solar panels End of year 6: 70ish panels (I lost track) making about 300k a month End of year 7: more solar panels making 500k a month Year 8 I switch to buying windmills (750k) End of year 8: 8 windmills (plus all solar panels) End of year 9: 34 windmills making 3 million a month End of year 10: 70+ windmills making 7.5 mil a month End of year 11: lost track of windmills making 21 mill a month End of year 12: 60 million a month This took about 4 hours to get to this point. From this point I slept until I had 1 billion dollars. End of year 13: 750 million in the bank In November of year 14 I hit 999,999,999 (aka 1 billion) Whole process took about 4 1/2 hours!

[@georgemonk244]

I couldnt reccomend coursplay more especialy for doing bales, you can set it on the same course as the rake/harvester and it will bale automaticly. It also will pick up/ wrap bales for you or unload combines. (It does take a little bit of learning)

[@DannyMerriman]

Jake please check out my comment on ep 1 I know it was only a few hours ago but I think it’s a good idea as you have your greenhouse hobby, hope it helps!

[@Exotic69420]

might take some time lol

[@christiann.8979]

Love you pickle. You the best farmer out there and story teller. Can’t wait for more Ep’s with you and dad

5 Days per month

[@dude90914]

You can invert your offfset.

[@dustindugger315]

Try course play for a better hired worker

[@crawley6957]

I know I'm a whole month late to this whole thing (just found your channel), but for the GPS offset problem you were having, I believe the fundamental issue is that it was taking into account the entire width of the tool (plow + packer), when it should be set up to only take into account the plow. Essentially it's treating the whole setup as a plow, but since the packer is designed to go over where you already plowed, it shouldn't be taken into consideration at all; it will simply work as long as the plowing is done right. Therefore, I think it's the Width Increment that should be set to 50% of the total width, which you had set the offset to originally (9.14m I think), and the offset should be half of that measurement (because the plow starts roughly in the middle of your tractor rather than being equal on both left and right like most tools are). Anyway, I'm going to go watch the rest of the series now to see if you ever figured that out and if this comment is useless! :)

[@My_cat_is_so_cute]

Hello Mr pickle

[@LastPlaceHero]

I have to ask, what minimap mod do you use to show what parts of the field have been sprayed etc? There's next to no visual distinction base game for sunflwoer or corn spraying cotnracts

[@TheFormalPickle]

That’s the Precision Farming DLC which should be free on the Modhub.

[@nickmane3506]

ngl i unsubscribed when he gave himself 4k.

[@TheFormalPickle]

lol relax

[@TheSheriff]

For the offset, run "true track" on your downs, and your backs runs the offset line,... Maybe...

[@Random-g8z]

Anytime I watch your videosI just sit here and watch them.
