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.

[@Natedogg1994]

Facts! 😂

[@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..

[@frodeskibrek]

My condolences on your loss,Sir. ❤🌹❤

[@unclebscustomrcandrepair]

Sorry for your loss friend, this games allows me to remember farming with my family that’s passed as well

[@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

[@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!

[@irontrunk2267]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@John_MAFT]

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

[@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

[@JRAgamz]

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

[@JRAgamz]

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.

[@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

[@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. I had to wait for my Collector's Edition to be delivered, then had an issue with my PC, issues setting up controllers, etc. FINALLY got the game running smoothly and clear just this morning. Now for some serious farming! 😃👍

[@steelcityangling5002]

Can someone please help me. My power washer isn't spraying water.. what is going onn

[@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

[@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 :(

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@cullenblakey1071]

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

[@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!

[@mrrichardhacker9948]

Great Vid. Didn't know about a few of these. Thought the movable pressure washer is great. Haven't harvested a lot yet.

[@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

[@GulliNL]

You mean some sort of auto load?

[@joshuadoll9000]

[@JoriDiculous]

Did not know about the sected straps selling. Nice! Autoleveling harvest are really cool! If we get that on more tools it would be great. Oh so it was the harvester leaving the field in "mulched state", i thought it was one of the cultivators. neat.

[@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

[@harag9]

Some nice little things there. spotted a couple of them already. Thanks for showing the rest. The powerwasher was a great addition. never used that because it wouldn't move. always had a mod.

[@germanwarrior6463]

The new engine sounds and equipment noise is very nice👍🙂

[@GordonGEICO]

The auto-leveling harvester is nice. I had some funky-shaped fields in '22 on Erlengrat and there were plenty of times when I'd miss spots.

[@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.

[@CatzRawla]

I had not noticed all of these. Awesome!

[@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. 👌🏼

@FarmerCop, can we get a video or do you have one on how weights work, front end weights and wheel weights, I don't know where or when to use them, or how much weight to use in what scenario, I know my steering is all messed up, can't tell if its bug in the game or if I'm misusing weights. I've KZbin this already and cant seem to find any dedicated tutorials on weights, the steering is driving my CrAzY and I could really use a good tutorial here. I understand if you can't but any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

[@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.

[@frugalfarmer3681]

What is taking them so long to introduce case flagship combines with hillco leveling? They need a good Palouse map as well!

[@BowntyHuntard]

Hey been watching your vids since I'm new to this game. Keep it up! Super informational and straight forward videos. I do have 2 questions: 1. 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

[@larkshadow5317]

Oh sure I find out about the different size trees AFTER I placed all mine on my custom farm lol. Love your videos man.

[@madbeastmac]

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.

[@MeinSchatzEra]

yeah... the pressure washer thing...I found that funny, as I just came across that on launch day and was not expecting it, I was like that's sick lol

[@joshuadoll9000]

You have to customize it in the store; there’s an option to have all the sides and the back or just the sides. Then you can drop and add the sides at your leisure.

[@CeliniaGava]

Number 11 - The barges actually travel down the rivers. I was blown away.. "It's MOVING! Actually MOVING!" lol.

[@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.

[@AthrunX23s]

One tiny audio detail I heard amongst the other improvements is that if you're stuck on a rock, you can hear the tires desperately biting for traction.

[@TheBillykurtz]

2:30 Also on console watch selling too many pallets at once. I delivered 48 pallets all at once to the playground and it only gave me money for 12 of them.

Noticed this with round bales also.

[@neilharbott8394]

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!!

[@FarmerCop]

It was added as a mod but never has it been a base gane item :)

[@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.

[@berfranper]

The harvester leveling reminds me of the trucks in Death Stranding. They didn’t autolevel but they extended their suspension shen going over rivers and torrents to keep the cargo outside of the water.

[@harvbegal6868]

I wish they would have made sure your headers couldn't hit invisible things in the ground instead of adding different colour pallets tbh, but a lot of small nice additions to be sure

I definitely didn’t know about the mulch state by straw swath. Guess I’ll sell my mulcher.

[@bouncerwolf2942]

Not sure if this was in FS22 or not I never personally noticed it myself if it was, but weeders for example will follow the shape of the field if you have one that is able to flex or level it's self out it will. I got a kick out of that when I first noticed it.

Hi guys, I've been playing this game for a couple of weeks now and slowly building up money ect, now Everything has been good so far but lately I've been doing contracts for harvesting and found that once the contract has been done and you can't get anything else off the field the percentage reading stops at 80 % and does not go to 100 % so I can't not collect my money for the contract.

Pretty much all the roads can be plowed up and that’s been a feature for well over a decade in the FS games. Always be sure to disable auto save and save your game before modifying the map with buildings or plowing and only save once you’re 100% sure you’re happy with it!

[@Mmac-qt8jn]

So one thing I noticed and don't like is the auto complete and if there is a way to turn it off I have over looked it. I want the option to complete not have it completed for me. For some this is great but when harvesting and you need to dump your load cause trailer can't hold anymore you dump and it was enough to complete and you still have some crop left too bad you lose out on that little bit of crop income. Now I have extra trailers but would be nice to shut it off. I maybe overlooking it if it can be shut off like how it was in 22 it told you and you could choose to complete it or just turn it in
