Platinum DLC - What Can You Do With The Redwoods? - Farming Simulator 22

With this map's emphasis on forestry, I would have loved to see an entire production chain on making firewood. There are some really cool wood cutter/splitter combination attachments for skid-steers, but I'd imagine that an outdoor factory animation like the old sawmill has with logs being sawn and then split and stacked would have been really cool. Come'on Giants! 🙂

[@briancooper562]

I know that in the current era redwoods have some protection but the wood produced from these trees has premium properties in terms of strength , durability and resistance to rotting. I would suggest there is an option mod to enable the full potential of these trees in terms of productivity and product capacities. Possibly limiting the products produced (no wood chipping, structural timbers only) and a limited harvest rate and required replanting rate. Also there may be a premium price for a 'clean' log at the mills, remove all projections and 'twigs'. On the real mill most cutting is automatic and anything out of round takes more time with higher wastage.

[@rockymountainrailfanner3410]

I agree. I don't know why giants decided to leave these out. In the real world these trees are a prized product if not protected. Especially the redwood cedar.

[@life-longpatriot8258]

I agree. If they want to protect the old growth redwoods, that's one thing. But allow them to be planted and harvested like any other tree in their sim for profit like it's done in the real world.

[@ghostdivision836]

[@michellemorrison5841]

Nothing in the lumber business goes to waste, even all the scraps from milling rounds, is turned into chips, mulch, fertilizer, pellets you name it, all wood has stored energy including methane which is a completely renewable fuel and energy source, trees are and always have been one of the greatest gifts to all living things...

[@michellemorrison5841]

@Ghost Division actually that's nit entirely true, it all depends on the section of the tree if I remember correctly and redwood is actually a softwood member much like maple...

Selling that container with the redwood, for 8,000. Keep in mind that you also got the money back from the price of the container. So if I remember, doesn't the container cost 5,000 initially ?

[@Eddiebleezy]

Alittle confused, what you mean you get the cost of the container refunded when selling wood?

[@nathangillmore5064]

@@Eddiebleezy No matter which container you buy, when you go and sell it with wood loaded into it, the sell price you get back is what the wood sold for plus the full refund price of the container. I'm assuming Giants did this so you aren't penalized for spending money on containers to sell wood and have to eat the cost of the container each time.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

@@Eddiebleezy you buy the container for $5000 for example, fill it with wood, and when you sell it you might get $10,000, that would be $5,000 of wood + the $5,000 you paid for the container

But the container was not full so maybe its still worth selling the trees in the containers

[@RamboHackerGaming]

Thank you for the video. I was hoping they would allow redwoods to be cut. Only the giant redwoods are protected; redwood trees are still logged in the states. This is evident by my redwood deck, which is popular in the NW US, where I live.

[@shadowhenge7118]

You can plant the redwoods. So its intended to be sustainable in some fashion.

You do get the cost of the container refunded when you sell the wood inside them. So you have to deduct the purchase price of the container from the sale.

Both Sequoia Sempervirens and Sequoia Gigantia grow very well and very fast here in New Zealand. They can easily reach over 100m in height in less than 100 years.

Im at a bit of a loss as to why Giants would put a tree into the game if they don't want them to be cut down.

I have had some questions about giants decision making process, like not needing to feed animals but I always understood since the age rating of the game Is what it is, the redwood thing however just seens kinda dumb or maybe I'm just missing the point?

[@TimberManiac8791]

kind of stupid putting a species of tree in a forestry harvesting map . but i have an idea as to why they done it . instead of putting some of that money they make off this game into an organization that plants protected trees and fights to save them they rather be tight wads and put the species in a logging map in their game and try and persuade people to plant them and not cut them and brag about how they are helping out . in the process ruining the very game they make because you plant this species of tree and are pretty much forced not to cut them and then your map is so filled up with this species of tree you cant plant the harvestable trees which in turn ruins game play. ignorance at it finest when it comes to game design and fun .

[@jasonr.9520]

Man I'm pretty bummed out that these trees weren't part of the main emphasis of logging....When I first saw them I was so excited because they were so big and the challenge was an exciting prospect. They should have some missions at the very least that requires them, or set it up where you have to purchase a permit to harvest so many per month or something along those lines. Why else would you need such a huge loader for? it sure isn't for grabbing piles of logs at once. god knows how difficult that is lol. This DLC has been pretty good so far. If there's one thing they need to fix its the ability to get your forks/claws under multiple or even single logs as its very hard to pick them up because you cant get under them without serious effort. That and the weight of trees needs to corollate a bit more to the trailers and the truck hauling them ect. A fully loaded truck should struggle to get going and to brake lol. All in all its a great dlc. The map is well designed!

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

I love that idea of special permit contracts for the redwoods, really smart idea!

[@CajunWolffe]

As a species, we need to mature to a point where cutting down/killing another species that can be thousands of years old is not the right thing to do; profit be dammed! There have been times since my journey began back in FS13 that after a stressful day in real life, nothing beats jumping into my favorite tractor, driving out into the wilderness, having a cup of coffee, and relaxing while enjoying the peaceful view. It's especially nice in a rain or snowstorm. I want to think that perhaps the developers put the Redwoods in for that purpose; to admire. 😎

[@michellemorrison5841]

That's fine and dandy, but this is a game, and they should be worth their weight and our time spent processing them period, a 40ton tree worth the same as 2ton tree is absolutely ridiculous and insulting, hope it changes sooner than later, what if you spend actual real life days trying to clear a nice spot of land of these redwoods and all that work nets you next to nothing compared to other harvestable trees, it makes no sense and honestly is very upsetting to think about, even in real life redwoods are growing faster than they can be cut and harvested for firewood, federal leasing of logging companies are there all the time, it's protected but still government has to have it maintained to keep it healthy...

There are modded harvesters that advertise being able to cut 4.63 M.... but every one I tried still wouldn't even cut the 71 cm trees on the starting property.

It sells for more if you use the measure tool and cut at the proper length with no penalties a 36 t tree sells for 19k

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

But still 36 tonnes of ponderosa would give you about 130k so still not cost efficient

[@Dracoothe1st]

Hm I wonder what machine I will use for these lot! I think it will be the LH180H and the Volvo F16 Modern 😉

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Good luck lifting one of these with the 180H 😂

[@brendanp9898]

What saw mod is that

[@Pudgemountain]

I wonder if I can plant one as a centerpiece to my farm lol.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Of course, go for it 👍

[@Cpt.Fabi1908]

Whats the max diameter the chainsaw can cut with the platinum dlc i know the harvesters can cut different diameters so whats the max on the chainsaw?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

I don't know, it was a modder friend who edited the chainsaw for me

[@Cpt.Fabi1908]

@@TheFarmSimGuy yeah no worries still thank you for answering.

[@DonGorgen]

@@Cpt.Fabi1908 If they are like a standard real life chainsaw the blade would be about 30-40cm(13-18"). Ofc you can get proper logging chainsaws with a much longer blade, up to 127cm(53").

[@jamesmccann531]

When you were looking at the planks and woodchips created, I dont think you took into account the pallets that were made. As you started to speed it up I thought I saw planks hit 200 something

[@harisdizdarevic6699]

Thx for the information dude, well done. 1 question, could you post pics of your graphics settings? Your game looks so much bettter then my, also maxed on all settings but looks nothing like your. Thx in advance 👍

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Hi Haris, Thank you! I do have esome pics of my graphics settings on my Discord

[@harisdizdarevic6699]

@@TheFarmSimGuy I just did take a look, cant seem to find it, also im not verry happy around discord 😂wouldyou just point me to the right channel and ill keep looking 😁

[@BattleshipOrion]

Wait we can cut them down? I thought it was illegal due to being endangered.

[@Jayhawk226]

I'm from the National Forestry Service and I'd like to have some words with you.

[@nfsfanAndrew]

Better cutting them in here then for real!

[@robertdiggler6341]

So if you can plant red woods do you get full price for those?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

No same rules apply

[@Flitzpieps123]

I think it's just a bug, OR Giants wants to draw attention to the fact that they are under protection and should not be felled

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

I agree with the latter, I don't think it's a bug, it's to put people off cutting them down

[@brentbennett5401]

As long as there isn't a huge chunk of the map that has them I don't care

[@DonGorgen]

@@TheFarmSimGuy Why even put them in the game if we're not supposed to cut them, they will just be in the way making a lot of land useless unless you want to waste your time clearing worthless trees.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

@@DonGorgen Why put rivers, rocks, or lakes in the game then, it's a flawed argument, there are 12 other tree varieties to play with.

[@DonGorgen]

What if you get a wood chipper and make woodchips from the whole tree?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Tried it, you have to cut it into very small pieces for it to fit in the chipper, and to be quite honest, I got bored and still had about 90% of tree still to do.

[@DonGorgen]

@@TheFarmSimGuy Was thinking about the tree devourer you can mount on a 3 point, but after I posted I saw someone comment they tried it and didn't get anymore woodchips than wood from them.

[@matthewmoyer9555]

I harvested these and filled my own saw mill in two loads with just two tress. I calling cap on this video sorry but still my favorite way to look trees

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Or… maybe they updated the game in a later patch so the trees were worth more because everyone complained. This vid was made when the expansion was released a year ago, so rather that trying to make smart ass comment and trying to call me out, do some research first so you don’t look silly 👍

[@jackclark1994]

The normal stihl cut them for me.. only did one and it was trash price wise.

[@markonesic557]

Guys, I don't really know why you're acting so bitter about this. It's a tree, it makes the map look beautiful and diverse. No one is forcing you to cut it down and try to make a profit off of it. If you're really innit for the money, just plant the pines, cut the pines, sell the pines, rinse and repeat.

[@danielrivera1833]

Can we re plant redwoods?!

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Yes 👍

[@berserkir14]

I use a mod called Black Market that lets me sell seqiouaiou trees
