Iron Production Begins! | Silverrun Forest | Farming Simulator 22 Platinum Edition

I have seen prices on easy be as much as 5k per 1000 of metal. But any money made selling the metal is profit because it really only cost you the production cost the ore cost you nothing. I found that when the train dumps product off it as it is leaving the map to sell your product all you need to do is pick it up and cross the sell point at the edge of the map to sell it to Elm Creek.

If you put large quantities of materials into either the roller coaster or the boatyard it will tell you what is needed for the current stage but if it's got in storage a mountain of those materials it will use them to cover the requirements. There is also a woodchipper at the old mill you own that your scrap pieces of logs or the dead trees can be put into to produce woodchips. Dead trees produce next to no volume for making lumber products.

[@restouler]

Realistically cutters only process and pile logs. Skidders or forwards transport logs. Visit the "swamp loggers" to see their setup using bunchers and grapple skidders. It's a game so do what keeps you interested. 🌲

[@VirtualFarmer]

Thanks for the recommendation.

[@catcracker48]

Dragging trees seems realistic to me. Also, I have seen many workman get their wheels off the ground on all sorts of equipment. You do what works. I wouldn't worry about it. I have heard that delaying the upkeep on your equipment is more costly in the game than multiple small repairs. (But I cannot confirm) You may want to repair some equipment along with getting a better place to sleep. Great videos as always.

[@cameronwhite6499]

People do do that type of tree harvesting but most common is the tree harvest with tracks and a forwarder the way you are doing it the other equipment that you are missing is a skidded so it brings the logs in a pile and you just grab and cut to size and a slasher instead of a chain saw so it zip cuts em quick and off to the next one

[@robertlindseyjr8396]

The logging operations I have been around generally drag the trees to the excavator. Then it will put the logs in piles. So they can optimise the held of each tree

[@robertlindseyjr8396]

I mean yield of each tree

[@Daywork11]

Enjoying your play through. I would think you know this but just in case. Did you know the tree types sell for different amounts? The deadwood tree sell for very little, like $20 a tree. The spruce sell for like 1500 a tree. The other two types sell for 3k or more.

[@VirtualFarmer]

Thanks. That isn't listed on the sale page so I need to give that at test.

[@grocer80]

Judging from filling my own containers, the price per liter of wood is the same but the ponderosa and lodge pole pines have the most wood per tree, so more money per tree/fewer trees to fill a container but a container will sell the same.

[@richardmcknight8196]

Moving the trees with the Volvo is definitely something that can be done in the real world. Raising the front wheels of the Claas when loading logs isn’t that unrealistic either. We have a Weideman wheel loader on our farm here in Northern Ireland and there are plenty of occasions we have the front wheels off the ground when pushing into a pile of something we’re lifting with a bucket. Loving your videos dude! Have you watched Big Timber on Netflix?

[@jrams1224]

I agree. None of that it unrealistic.

[@VirtualFarmer]

Thanks

[@B1llyg0at]

I find the processor moving the logs around to be completely realistic. I've seen machines of that size do just that.

[@VirtualFarmer]

Thanks. I'm getting very conflicting responses so far. 😅

[@B1llyg0at]

@@VirtualFarmer im sure you are, however as someone who actually has logged smallish scale as a job, I think you're doing just fine.

[@dustinjensen6028]

Fall the trees the opposite direction that you want to pull them. Then use a skidded/ winch to drag them all to a location for your harvester to process. That's how it is done in real life.

[@02091992able]

The lowboy trailer you own also can have the ramps adjusted and the trailer bed widened to fit larger pieces of equipment on it and lengthened to fit longer machinery and those cargo boxes.

[@VirtualFarmer]

Yep. I've adjusted it in the past to transport the excavator.

[@lucde_ville4743]

It would not be a real VF series if there wasn't a shortage of cash somewhere! Good you had some planks lying around, they might be as much a savior as the lettuce on other series. I have no experience or knowledge on logging, forestry or similar, but logic tells me you are doing this as realistic as the game lets you.

[@kingwokosalfordlad]

I'm New to f.s.22 platinum edition. My last farming simulator was. f.s..15 .so big jump in to the big league 🌍✌️💙

[@neilporter3286]

It’s a good job you didn’t go for a bigger bucket for your wheel loader, or a bucket full of ore would have had the poor thing doing a face plant!

[@kingwokosalfordlad]

Ive just started this sliver run. 🌍✌️💙

[@02091992able]

Just watched a video on someone operating a wood processing machine like your Volvo and they do move the trees around with them a little.

[@VirtualFarmer]

Thanks.

[@peterturner7474]

Allmost had all them logs.

[@VirtualFarmer]

It was so close!

[@karsoncampbelllogginginc]

Maybe you should do more logging this time going to the woods with your processor and buy for water and cut trees down the woods and use the forward to bring the wood out to the road for a loud truck to come can you please do that for another video

[@02091992able]

Keep an eye out for the collectable chainsaw carvings that are hidden around the map, no clue what they give you if you find them all, but you get some cash for each one you find.

[@Phil57uk]

Depends if you want them to be part of your gameplay. If they are, they give you £50k each.

[@dennismason7596]

Why are you using the chainsaws to follow the trees when you got a tree Harvester on a trackhoe?

[@VirtualFarmer]

It is a harvester, just a processor. It can't be tilted vertically to cut tress, only pick those up that are already on the ground.

[@fijapopovic5335]

Since when making metal is farming? On an other note do you think they will make one day a mining simulator?

[@acidxxz9229]

Do you ever collect the collectables that are scattered acrossed the map???

[@VirtualFarmer]

Nope. I tend to try to earn to money instead.

[@DarrylWoodworking]

Does it really matter if it is realistic if your happy with how your doing it that’s all that matters

[@VirtualFarmer]

I tend to challenge myself to play as realistically as I can.

[@TommiHonkonen]

this bruh: bank balance in a game -53 me: at least someone has worse situation in a game than me irl i dont figure piling them up like that is efficient because they end up at different places, pile up one tree why not because they are better aligned.

[@taylormay420rodgers]

Haven't you ever watched ax men? No one ever falls a tree then drags it too get delimibed and cut to length and then loaded.

[@VirtualFarmer]

Nope. Never seen it.

[@victoriousvictor7978]

Umm...alot of the time that's exactly how it's done.

[@SpillGates]

your louder commercial is annoying
