I Spent 2 Years Crafting a Lumber Empire | Farming Simulator 22

[@wendigotamer1173]

I know this is a little late, and honestly haven't finished the video yet, but about the trailer trick to measure size i recommend doing it once with the top of a tree as you can cut that branch the length of the trailer and carry that piece of wood around and then you dont need to keep moving your trailer and such, its how i do it personally

[@MrNightStand]

Realistically, it takes 2-3 years for you to actually begin harvesting your lumber. In that time I started growing a few other greenhouse crops to make easy cash but once youre rolling youre good to go

[@haydenpruitt5199]

I am an over the road truck driver. And normally. To be legal normally you don't want to load over forty five thousand pounds. For Example I all those wood pellets and they Can only load twenty two of them. Love your videos, man.

[@karenavenarius8093]

I do that work to trucking is in real life is much different than farming simulator

[@flyzx45]

I am a trucker too, I like fs because I can do things in the game I can’t do irl

[@daixso]

They have a scale in the game at least on 25 and it doesn't give axle weights but I wonder if you could pull each axle on and get your weights like a single axle scale

[@amburn4]

I started playing this game after watching your different vids. It's pretty fun, but I hope FS25 makes significant changes to the forestry user-controls, especially for console-players where some of the Forestry mods that make the game more user friendly aren't available. In particular, as SWU found out around the 1h13m mark, manipulating the arm and claws of the various cutting, grapping, and log loading machines is an unnecessarily difficult time consuming nightmare. I just use the log zipline device to drag trees to the sawmills and eliminate the need for loading trailers/cutting logs into smaller pieces.

[@FarmingSimSWU]

I feel like forestry is a little extra aspect that they throw in and treat and doesn't get the attention it deserves to make it better. Sadly,

[@gameburn178]

Winter logging in some parts of Canada do something similar. Easier to slide on snow.

[@iggilendios9903]

About getting stuck on corners. It treats buildings as a solid box. The corner of cement pad is the edge you are sticking on, not the support beam or structure. Awesome series.

[@FarmingSimSWU]

Yep was in mood. Then I decide to make it part of the series 🤣

[@jonathonjones4086]

Real life logging is wayyyyyyy easier than on the game.

[@FarmingSimSWU]

that makes me feel better. I see truck load after truck load driving through my town and those load look so clean and perfectly lined up. Them forestry pros are no joke.

[@gameburn178]

Cutting is easier in big company logging -- hardly ever use chainsaws anymore. One guy in a closed vehicle does what a whole crew used to do.

[@josephspruill1212]

@@gameburn178I know an old man that still does it with Ax. He even uses his old ox to pull the logs and help load them. He will he hall and y’all till he gets it done, yet he still gets the job done. Yes, he is an Amish man…. Makes the best furniture you will ever see!

[@gameburn178]

@josephspruill1212 I heat my house with a woodstove and fireplace. I cut some of my smaller trees with a saw and chop the rounds with a big axe. Larger stuff is tough because of the diameter - makes both cutting and splitting much more difficult. I like the exercise; moreover, chainsaws scare me a bit. I'm older as well. 69 last month. I have a hobby farm, which makes it a bit odd that I like farming games, lol.

[@josephspruill1212]

@ no it doesn’t. It makes you human brother. That exercise is what is keeping you alive. Stay healthy, live long!

[@scottstefanatz]

And this is why I hate lumberjacking on fs22 KZbin. Tree length affects price. In the first 10 minutes you sold trees worth over 10k for 1500 because they were too long. Spruce max length 6m pine max length 8m otherwise the price drops massively

[@karenavenarius8093]

I hate tree work in fs22😢

[@KillianFritz]

7m is the sweet spot

[@robertorebel9411]

Length affecting price is realistic certain trees/woodtypes are processed in different ways big bulky trees are used for planks and boards because you can make more planks out of a 8m length of saccoia than let’s say a 8m length of birch because most birch and other poplars are used for chipping that’s why on Silverrun a saccoia has an volume of 45000L at full growth and a spruce got 4800L but if you chip the spruce it will produce like 14000L of Woodchips but a saccoia isn’t really chipable and doesn’t produce a lot of chips cause it needs to be made into firewood bits almost to even handle with a chipper ow and another tip the perfect length is 6m for lodge and 8m for the other kind on silverrun spruce is a chip only bc of low volume when unprocessed chipping increases its volume by almost x3

[@Howtoscam4]

That’s fucked

[@dannyr4020]

Forestry isn’t my favorite BUT I really enjoyed this show. The snow made it extra special due to it being Christmas Eve. 👍🏼

[@FarmingSimSWU]

@@dannyr4020 merry Christmas 🎄

[@hakky1337]

Cut the wood in to 2 meter or 6 meter lenghts, thats the most profitable lenghts. I must say it was frustrating watching you throw away all that money by selling unprocessed trees. Love your channel tho, ive learned much from you and your videos.

[@FarmingSimSWU]

Thanks for the tips!

[@buddybowen2171]

I love the way you play not taking 20 minutes to figure out where you place things

[@FarmingSimSWU]

Thank you!

[@patsyadkins1928]

Hi

[@GatsbyParty]

All the logging stuff on this game is a mega pain in the ass. And truthfully, realism is great but auto loading and having factories distribute to other factories is fine by me. It gets sooo damn slow and boring watching someone forklift pallets and dealing with those trees every few minutes. Be real in other areas but speed up the mundane tasks. Also conveyer belt the mining.

[@FarmingSimSWU]

Right! Enjoy the fun parts and automate the tedious ones.

[@dyalnwinchester665]

I do it in real life how do u think we feel in the cold north woods of maine

[@coololdluke3905]

After clearing trees I paint the ground with grass. Much easier to see and avoid the stumps or finding them once you bring the grinder in

[@franceskoplaka1634]

Getting a conveyor belt to load the wood chips is so much easier , leaving the trailer there till is loaded and all you have to do is take it to the pallet f.

[@oneill6291]

Hmm I tried this yesterday but was not exactly impressed at first. Think I might try it again here....I absolutely love the concept of this game but I felt it was soulless from an aesthetic standpoint. Do you have any mods installed? I love the idea of starting out logging and then getting into a big farm. Maybe I can find some graphics mods. Don't exactly care about technical quality but I thought the art style was bland. This game really does look fun though!

[@FarmingSimSWU]

@@oneill6291 look up Reshade. Its a graphics plugin that gives you an insane amount of control over the graphics and shaders etc. I don’t have the patience to make it look good enough for videos so I stopped using it.
