HOW TO: Mining with Terrafarm - Elk Mountain - Farming Simulator 22

Terrafarm is a game changing mode for FS22, and for the first time, a map has been released to make full use of the features for mining. Elk Mountain has both a dedicated gold mine and a gravel pit, so I wanted to provide a reference video for those new to mining and terrafarm. It's not as daunting as it might seem.
You can find Terrafarm on github: github.com/scfmod/FS22_TerraFarm

[@ArgsyGaming]

Thanks NeoNuke, pleased to hear it helped

[@user-db7sy1xm6e]

Fantastic and short but detailed video on everything, i am bit bored of farming and i was in search of other things possible of doing, this one is perfect, thanks alot !

Well done video. The math economy at the end is great!

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Outstanding mate!! thanks for the shoutouts! 👍

[@ArgsyGaming]

Thank you and you're welcome!

[@kieranleopold9115]

Something you said at the end of your video got my wheels turning, I think it would be cool to have a mining map with no designated "mines" per se, but several areas one could mine and then have TerraFarm randomize the discharge based on location. In essence, you'd have to speculate around the map to find the high-paying areas, saturated with paydirt, then mine in those areas to make your money. Great video, Argsy!

[@ArgsyGaming]

Yeah I had that idea as well, perhaps a soil map type setting for Terrafarm where you could define gravel, sand, dirt, pay dirt, iron ore. Wonder if that is possible????

[@masterenos]

@@ArgsyGaming What about playing with the soil type settings from Precision Farming?

[@deanpodolsky]

Brilliant idea guys. What if you used geology-based clues in the map (and through changes in the surface appearance) to indicate where gold is likely to be found, a nod to @kieranleopold9115 idea of speculation?

[@chinook9857]

Great video mate looking forward to the stream tomorrow.

cant understand why they made the crushers stop when you get out. should be an option to keep the process going constantly

[@heavyballs8458]

Console needs TerraFarm!

[@termahnke]

The problem is, consoles don't run scripts and TerraFarm needs scripts to work. It's more of a limitation of consoles than the actual mod.

[@braedyngeske3282]

so I might have missed it in your video, however, what's the process for the iron? I can't seem to find any information online. I would really like to do both iron and gold. Thank you for all of the amazing information in the video, definitely got a thumbs up from me!!

[@ArgsyGaming]

No haven't covered that yet. I don't think there is anything within the map to mine/process the iron, think it was added in now for future updates

[@hillkillr]

Fun fact. 1000 liters of gold would actually be worth around 1.4 billion US dollars. 1000 liters of gold is 681,493 ounces. Current gold price is around $2,000 per ounce. I get that the economy has to be balanced, but the price for gold seems low. maybe the gold ratio in the paydirt is too high so the modder balanced it by lowering the price for gold? I don't even know how to look that up. If my math is wrong, someone please correct me, I'm not an expert, just did a quick internet search. Either way, looks fun, I'll probably mess with it a bit.

[@ArgsyGaming]

Thanks and yeah feel the economy could use a bit of a tweak for that, but a bit hard to do with the FS mechanics

[@DaddyJustinEj1]

I need help ive been trying to get everything needed to mine for about 5 hours now and finally get it to work. But when i got to meterials its just blank shows nothing and I can't seem to find pay dirt anywhere

[@agustinbook3101]

Excellent video man! But can you tell me wich joystick are you using? 1 or 2? For the excavator, because I wanna setup 1 logitech extreme 3d pro for the bucket and boom and normal controller using the analog for swing and stick but is not detecting properly the bucket movement, did you use any program to set it up?? And inside the game did you just set them up for the crane?

[@ArgsyGaming]

I have dual thrustmaster T16000m joysticks. Took some trial and error to map the controls, have based the inputs on a Cat excavator. The commands depend on how mods are made with not all having the same control inputs for arms etc

[@agustinbook3101]

@@ArgsyGaming oohh nice to know that! Because I tried in 2 different machines, I'll try again with one similar than yours. Thank you so much for your comment! Help's a lot!

[@Cirkyz]

How did you move the terrafarm output option from the left as its in the farmsim guy video to te upper right? Is it the bucket that makes that or a setting? Great vid

[@ArgsyGaming]

That was done by the dev in version 4, so as long as you have the latest version it should be updated

Wonder if anyone could help, i downloaded the pack and the terraform mode but the excavators will not dig at all? Am i doing something wrong as i followed the video and still no luck

[@dannybenner1079]

Hey not sure what I did wrong I edited the bucket for the komatsu w900 to be able to lift more(volume) and now in game it doesn't give me an option to use terra mod with it, first thing I've ever edited, any advice? Thanks

[@ArgsyGaming]

Did you zip the mod folder back up, and keep the same file name? Otherwise, not something I have looked at or even considered.

What is the best mining map currently?

[@brendanmurphy4718]

Awesome vid , are you able to show what joysticks you use for the digger

I have a pair of Thrustmaster T.16000M joysticks - take a bit of time to configure, but once set up I can't do without.

[@sytics]

what to do when i have only stone, lime and some more but i don't have dirt cravel?

[@keithvandeusen1439]

For some reason, I can't the generator filled at the gold wash plant. The fill function won't activate when I pull up to the area to fill.

[@ArgsyGaming]

Interesting, the washplant worked for me, but didn't try it in the sheds. The buy production inputs mod would be a good workaround

[@ChuckThunder]

Can you use any old map for terrafarm and still get the productions with the mod buildings for gold, gravel and the other fills?? Or do I have to use these new terra farm ready maps?

[@ArgsyGaming]

The map needs to have the fill types included to use, terrafarm won't add it. So stones are a default material but anything like gold etc would need to be in the map

[@ChuckThunder]

@@ArgsyGaming thanks!

May you clear something up for me, I didn't know the location of elk mountain being in Wyoming so I heard everywhere about elk mountain map to get, it's the elk mountain Wyoming correct? Was like 500 and something mb, looks the same, look forward to playing on this map!!!

Looks so fun! I’ve been trying all day but I can’t get the terra farm zip to convert over to FS22. I drug the file into the mod file of fs 22 and still can’t get it. If anyone has a tip for me

[@ArgsyGaming]

did you download from either the github for terrafarm, or from FS Miners link for ver4? There are a few versions floating around on the less reputable sites which are causing some issues

[@ryllisperring-tg4ij]

I can’t seem to get the pallets to spawn for the gold dust and gold bars I can only get the concentrate pallet to spawn

[@ArgsyGaming]

I think there was an update to the map since this version which caused some issues around that - the modder released another map update about a month ago, I think I shared a link to that on my facebook page

[@solid1096]

Nice ! Can this mod used on other maps as well ? And mod maps ?

[@ArgsyGaming]

Terrafarm should be useable on any PC map, but not all the fill types such as gold, tailings, gravel, sand will be available unless added in to the map.

not that I am aware of, although you could put a wheel loader under the tailings pile, fill that and tip into a truck to simulate it.

[@danielmacdonald623]

When ever I set materials to dirt, it still appears as stones on the little icon when the bucket is filled. Any ideas?

Make sure you are changing it in the section for the discharge material, not the paint material - also make sure dirt is a fill type on the map you are using (if not Elk Mountain)
