GUIDE TO FORESTRY - Farming Simulator 25

[@Flash_1776]

That yarder has to be the coolest addition to forestry. That will offer way more flexibility on hills, can't wait to dive into that tomorrow

[@trevor8467]

we had that in 22

[@Bambis_GamerHut]

@@trevor8467 The yarder was only available for people who bought the Platinum DLC.

[@SirSmokeALot-yz3hl]

yea it was in 22 already in the Platinum DLC

[@adamsandin]

wow, this is a new world for me.. i think i spent around 10 hours on nomansland in fs22 just cutting with a chainsaw and moving to a flatbed by hand..

[@andrewboger2075]

Was sooo excited about the logging experience in fs22 until the sent me out to cut dead trees by hand, 10 hrs is no exaggeration 😆

[@dansiegel995]

Logging can be quite a huge process, with many steps, where all those pieces of equipment have specific and usually unique jobs. It's all about being as efficient as possible, to process trees as fast as possible. The ultimate setup requires millions in equipment and is several steps. It also will be different based on terrain. Fellerbunchers, skidders, forwarders, harvesters, all terrain transport, processors, road transport.....all work together...with 1 person doing each job 1 at a time, or a crew of 6-8. It has the highest payout of anything in FS if done right. And uses a lot less land than farming. Only downside, no AI, all manual. But very fun!!!

[@davefool6815]

Tell me how my friend. I need to know the skill.

[@dansiegel995]

@davefool6815 like I said in another post, thus is a good intro. If it wet your beak, watch FDR Logging videos. That's all he does in FS, logging, no farming.

[@davefool6815]

[@BiffsEquipment]

Everyone says wood chips aren’t very profitable but for what tiny bit of wood you chipped in this video and sold you got quite a lot of money as compared to the size of that log you sold. It seems like you chipped less wood than the size of that log you sold and got double the money for it.. makes me wonder if selling wood chips really isn’t that bad of a deal seeing that you get so many wood chips for such little amounts of wood that you use to make them. It would be great to see a test done, cutting 2 identical logs, chipping one and selling the other and seeing exactly what the difference in price is. If its not a whole lot then it may be more worth it to chip wood in some instances when it’s not easy to limb and load them and haul them

[@chrishaugh1655]

I wonder, after years of asking for it, when they will finally rework the logging physics in this game.

[@EroxZ]

Prob never...

[@rakashii6599]

In a weird way I feel like they have been making logging physics worse! In FS15 they feel the best and they don't even have straps in that game!

[@notfreshey]

When getting rid of small branches, find a spot it works then hold the mouse down while crouching down the length of the log. Very satisfying!

[@crjlife_9082]

I love using the yarders to transport trees into the sawmills. Seems to be fastest for me. Super strength is always helpful when logging since it can be so tedious at times.

[@Fetidaf]

I love logging. It’s so satisfying when you decimate the local ecosystem and go full scorched earth to build a parking lot. But I hate trying to pick up the logs with the claw… I can’t do it without an autoload mod or something similar.

[@MeediaArtur]

@@Fetidaf This guy logs!

[@doodledork1097]

MODDERS!! Please please add a console mod to measure log lengths with the chainsaw like pc had on fs22

[@DiablueKnight]

I don't take it as a one to one reskin, but it is just another sim game that adds features slowly over the years, but it is simply a fresh version of the same idea. Farming and farming related industries. It is what it is. Fresh graphics, few new features and functions. I've been playing since FS15 and love the game, but I always wait at least a year before upgrading once the new game/version is released due to the mods being what adds alot of the playability for me. I typically make my own maps to play on, never liked the in game maps because they kinda lack attention to detail on certain things. But yeah, that's my opinion. Good vids though dude

[@MrRyanlin1423]

Glad to see I’m not the only one struggling to put away the chainsaw

[@mzali.ac14]

And still the felling of trees has no sound. The logs on the ground are in the air, you can see that when you pick them up for woodchipping

[@rileyhays3091]

If you activate your saw and then crouch at same time you can run beside the tree and cut branches just like fs22

[@andrewgreen97]

Thanks for the great info. How do you deal with stumps from very large trees? I have tried every mulcher/stump grinder in the game to get rid of some larger stumps, and nothing seems to make a dent in them.

[@FDRLogging]

nice video thanks for the preview, ill have to see what I can do about those bouncy machines ;)

[@justinhubbard5539]

Now now we both know they will never except the most realistic version of the game.

[@AJDeere]

As much as I would like to say it improved, the logging gameplay is not improved from 22 with platinum, its the exact same thing. The physics, features, and optimization is the same as playing 22 with platinum. Theres no improvement in the gameplay that I can see. You could make this exact same video with the exact same parts but in FS22. Just putting that observation out there of how much I see Giants cares🤷

[@MTF-EPSILON-11-5-NULL]

Eeh i mean logging as always been abused to be honest

[@gtrulez]

Looks like you will be getting more woodchips than before. Also the chippers seem to work better

[@spicycupcake]

11:02 Pro tip, the chainsaw will trim trees if it's running at all. So start the chainsaw and keep it running while away from the tree, then just run up to it and run along the trunk and it will trim everything along the way. No need for the orange circle business

[@mikek3459]

nice video, but on 23:15 you turn that wood chipper thing on and you step out of your tractor and the woodchipper is still on, but when I turned that damn thing on and I step out of my tractor, the woodchipper is turned off and must enter the tractor to turn it on again. When i get out of the tractor, the woodchipper is turned off again..what am I missing here???

[@johns4356]

You probably have automatic engine Start on in the settings which will turn the engine on and off when you get in and out of your tractor, if you turn this off the engine will keep running until you manually turn it off. Hope this helps.

[@mikek3459]

@johns4356 thank you very much for your answer. In my settings, it was on automatic and I turned that off. Thnx for the help 👊🏻

[@jaynen]

you are missing the best part of the 848L skidder which is the 15 ton winch on it which means you can pretty much drag the largest trees you can find over 500m and you can also winch the trees together into groups. In fact the chainsaw and winch are usually more effective if you can cut trees near a sawmill than cutting them into actual logs the yarder will only move 3t tho

[@ScientistMan96]

BTW, the orange marker when using the chainsaw to clean the branches off the trees means nothing in regards to the branches. All that says is you can't cut the tree. The best way to clean the trees is to rotate the saw to be parallel with the trunk (IE 90 degrees rotated from how you would cut through the tree) then walk along the trunk with the saw running. Since the saw blade is angled with the trunk it'll never be able to cut through the tree, but it'll be able to cut the branches fine. The reason you're having to spam the button is because the saw keeps trying to cut through the trunk.

[@usernametaken5619]

Won't do much forestry until we get auto load modded trailers. Hopefully real soon lol.

[@shiftinsteak8331]

this.

[@timt8231]

Is the physics the same as fs22 with picking up logs? Sometimes logging on fs22 is annoying cause picking up logs with some equipment is laggy and logs wont stay in the grapple of the equipment. Im also playing on ps5 console

[@SickSixFarms-lq7ot]

Thanks for the vid. Nice to see all the Platinum 22 features are in the base game for 25. But only one winch available is kinda crazy. I hope Giants ports over a lot of the equipment from 22.

[@gullev3321]

Please help - I have a sawmill and I get woodchips in crates, which I cannot sell anywhere. What do I do with them? How do I get them into a trailer? I cannot find an answer anywhere.

[@evanlangley3582]

Now all we need is Most Profitable Crop comparison. Thanks Farmer Cop!

[@Tristan.J.C]

In order of profit per minuter of work. 1st - Sugar beets, 2nd - Potatoes, 3rd - Cotton.

[@ISAFMobius18]

So I planted a field of Lodgewood Pines. I used an AI worker with the Damcon planter and had him skip a row. It's been 8 game months and still no growth. Do I need to wait longer and did I mess up somewhere

[@sherrydowns4052]

the mini claws are just as annoying on console. i think people who successfully use them use a joystick

[@RideFree317]

I would often use a tele handler with a mod bale grab that could pick up logs . Not exactly a realistic way of doing it, but I could load the truck much easier

[@Santhor89]

Hello, I leave this question to see who knows!! I have a shredder that makes shavings. Do you know how I can leave it on and keep it running when I get off the tractor? It is the one that is hooked to the tractor's power take-off.

[@N2433P]

set vehicles to manual start/stop

[@Yamaha38XCRacer]

That yarder is going to be awesome on a good mountain map just for forestry..

[@robwaite1118]

Great Video, Very Informative. I'm just starting Forestry. Question...Is there a Silo/Storage area to place the wood chips to hold until sell price increases?

[@frulban1620]

My favorite part of the game. 🎉

[@jessewebber9416]

If you use a controller to operate the truck crane it's a lot easier. The mouse only let's you move like 2ft at a time in the highest setting. You need analogue.

[@FarTooJones]

dumb question, how do you keep chipper and stuff running when your are outside of it?

[@OrionN804]

26:05 what is the command to toggle that view? I have the console available, it would be useful cuz sometimes i have a hard time finding where the stumps are depending on the terrain. Ty in advance

[@8Phantom]

Every time I get out of my wood chipper it turns off. How does your belt stay on?

[@FarmerCop]

Turn the setting for automatic engine start to Off. Then you can leave it on when you get out

[@8Phantom]

@FarmerCop yup, I figured that out after I mentioned it. I totally forgot that option existed there for a moment. I appreciate the reply man! Alot of YTs never do.

[@mattgeorge1976]

In 22 you could load the larger crate of saplings into the regular planter, have you tested if you can do that in 25?

[@gstar5956]

How do you make planks? I bought the lumber mill, but where in the heck do you put them to make planks? ive gone to every yellow point and there is nothing indicating ow I make them into planks

[@graywolf688]

I'm on console and the stump grinder does not get rid of the stumps on the main farm. Is anyone else having this issue?

[@elinhaines]

Logging in FS22 is a game changer! Can't wait for those physics updates!

[@illudedCeption]

so the log pick up tools and forks still work like they did in 19 hard pass on 25 was kinda pissed i even bought the 22 back to 19 i go

[@sherrydowns4052]

my question is: does the tractor winches actually pull more than like 2 limbs without acting like its trying to move the earth like in 22?

[@gtrulez]

Just use a bigger tractor then, the heavier ones could easily pull whole trees with it, unless they got stuck on something. You need to use a tractor with some weight to it, and preferably with a cvt or full powershift transmission. (Manuals usually keep shifting gears, unless ypu shift them by yourself) Adding a front weight + wheel weights can help out too if it has alot of wheelspin. You need at least 8~10 tons of weight if you want to do whole trees at once. And more power is better. Something like a JD4755 or Case IH 7220 is a beast in pulling trees in FS22. Also great for a forestry mulcher.

[@prjndigo]

the new heizo seems to be a big improvement

[@juggalokarnage7108]

I'm doing a Wood Transport contract and it says to deliver to Sawmill. I'm at the designated area to unload but nothing is happening. I tried just pulling up on the icon, I unloaded manually on the icon, I tried looking around for the Wrench icon to see if I just press L3 to sell, I even placed one in the water cuz I know some sawmills actually use the water to transport the logs around. But so far I'm at a loss. Am I simply missing something?

[@zalein8]

I had this same exact issue, was very frustrating. I quit doing those missions because of it.

[@juggalokarnage7108]

@ I ended up trying another wood transport but this time selling point was at Paper Mill and that one had a Sell interaction. Either I'm too blind the find the one at the Sawmill or they forgot to even put it in 😂

[@Forestryman707]

I was kind of hoping for new forestry equipment. We shall see what the modders come up with 😊

[@virtualProspector]

You would roll the log with a winch, then cut the other side. Twigs off or whatever you gotta call them.

[@alexlauersdorf932]

I cannot figure out where to sell my ledgepole pines in America map…I have gone to a he sawmill but it never gives me a sell option

[@MrAndrewc1987]

how do you attach the fast coupler i tried 20 mins and nope doesn't want to attach and is there a way to get rid of the huge trees

[@UncleGordo88]

I had this issue, you have to come at the head from the right hand side, took me a while to get it. As for removing large trees, use caution. I cut down a bunch of large shagbark hickory trees to build a farmhouse and found that you can't grind the stumps with any of the different stumps grinders. They are currently bugged.

[@MrAndrewc1987]

@@UncleGordo88 think it is the shagbark hickory the one that is not the northern I find cutting it down then cutting the stump 3-4 time small cuts each time down to the grass works and us the tractor stump grinder to finish it. Thanks I got it after rewatching this video a few times.

Not really a question about forestry but this is the latest video I found so I figured people would be watching it. I just preorder. I got the key and the download link. Put the key in the slot hit download and got the file. I know the game isn't live yet but the file seems kind of strange. If you go to open it, it asks what you want to open it with. Is that file going to be opened with the farm sim 25 program? I kind of expected this to be the downloader.
