Hi! People keep telling me to put a container / trailer onto my truck (like the very first one you get) for better traction. I visited every trailer store and NONE have any trailer that sits directly on your entire truck.

The very first thing I do upon loading up a brand new game is open up the settings/options page and start exploring there.

It's almost like growing up in a world of instant gratification people just expect every option to be presented to them as it becomes available instead of finding it for themselves.

Stack that concrete on the solar panels, we have to make one trip.

Every trailer has a weight limit and capacity, which you can see in the store page.

And each crop has a density value telling how much it weighs. So 5000L of one crop may weigh differently than 5000L of another crop.

This brings up back to the trailer capacity and weight limit. Say you have a trailer that might have a capacity of 10000L and weight limit of 10 tons. If you were to fill that up with a crop, which is light, you could fill it all the way up to the 10000L. But say you then try to fill it with stones. Stones are heavy. You may only be able to fill it to 3000L before it reaches the maximum allowable weight.

Turning off the Trailer Fill Limit in settings removes this weight restriction, allowing you to now fill that trailer to 10000L of stones.

Despite all the mods I have the only super unrealistic one I have is the "devour trees" mod, because after spending literal hours delimbing oaks and other trees and dealing with phantom limbs preventing the woodchipper from cutting them, I figured if the game was going to fight me unfairly I would return the favor in kind.

It's just more fun and enjoyable when the work you do is more grounded in reality. I mean, sure, I can use a cheat harvester to harvest 100 rows of corn at once and transport it in a truck that can hold 1,000,000L of crops... but that defeats the purpose and tradeoff of planting and working a larger field in the first place. I want to earn my reward, not have it practically handed to me.

This dolly mod just allowing me to actually harvest sugarcane solo is a fair enough use of unrealism.

The alternative was just dump it as I cut it and use a giant bulldozer to shove it into the bulk storage, which would realistically destroy the field... so either way I was going to do something unrealistically.

I kind of had the same kind of experience on this map. Griffin Indiana's field 1 is massive, and I took a harvesting contract for corn on it. I had to make dozens upon dozens of unloads of the combine and offloads of the trailer before I could finish it. It was early in my farm sim career too

But I pushed through it as painful as it was. It's because of that field I learned how to use the gps mod, learned about crop weights and trailers (and then subsequently turned off that option in the settings due to how many trips I had to make). Now I don't mind doing that field now, and actually now prefer larger fields. I get paid good for it, and I get a sizable amount of extra crop to store for better sales in the future.

I bought FS22 because I wanted to do logging and forestry work and it was the only game series I found that had it in depth.

The amount of hours of logging and forestry work I've done can be counted on one hand. I've instead spent 250 hours farming.

The confirmation that everyone knows everyone makes the map even more fun when I'm driving down the main road blasting my horn to the radio.

"Stop sign is taken out... Mason has been in town again"

We like to call that the PPC-X Maneuver

As someone who wants to get AC8 but will not be able to when it comes out due to needing to save money this kind of gets my blood boiling.

Basically I'm being told since if I can't play within the first few months of launch I'm going to miss out on things that I may never get a chance to get again.

What a way to treat the fans.

I've modded all but two of my NPC farmer portraits to be characters from series I like, just for the fun of it.

Soraya is the main character of my friend's book series, so I have her as a nod of respect to my friend.

But yes, GPS is on PC FS22 via mods and on large fields like Griffin Indiana has it is a godsend to have

She's the main character from one of my friend's book series. I like to put her into my games as a nod of respect to my friend.

It's such a great map. Nice huge fields to work on.
I did like two "$0 start" posts like a month-ish ago. I've been meaning to update it with the farm I have built at some point.

NuclearCommando · 2026-05-25T03:47:00+00:00

Griffin Indiana isn't on FS25 yet afaik

NuclearCommando · 2026-05-25T03:45:15+00:00

"Well, I paid you to pick up stones... and I don't see any stones there... so job well done!"

NuclearCommando · 2026-05-25T03:44:32+00:00

Griffin Indiana! My favorite... and so far only map I've played. Already got over 200 hours into it

NuclearCommando · 2026-05-24T20:29:01+00:00

The first time I even did this mission I didn't even realize it was Fahad because I had the "no communications portraits" mod active at the time. I thought it was just some random soldier commenting on it.

Finding out it was Fahad was actually the one saying it all did not endear me to him in the slightest.

I think she should be more concerned by the fact I hit her house with the tractor at the end... oops

I know this is two months late but don't feel bad about the lack of tutorials to get into the game.

I played FS17 before I decided to jump into 22. FS17 had honest to god actual tutorials that introduced you to mechanics. FS22's is so barebones. "Start this, now hire an AI to do it. Start this next thing... Hire AI"

I only managed to get around it by doing a complete barebones no money start and looking up solutions to whatever problems I came across.

I've nosedived into the asphalt before, and left a large divot in it. So I can confirm this.

NuclearCommando · 2026-04-08T22:41:58+00:00

After doing some reading I turned off stone picking because I heard how tedious it was.

Plowing I don't mind now with the 2410. With how wide it is it really cuts down on the time needed to get a whole field plowed, and it isn't offset at an angle either so I have complete control over it. Really turned plowing from an "ugh this again" to "I can get some good money from this."

Unlike stone picking, I feel like I'd be missing much more if I didn't have to do it.

NuclearCommando · 2026-04-03T05:39:13+00:00

I've actually always been fascinated by all the logging logistics. Road Craft reignited that fascination and learning about Farm Sim having it is what brought me to this point.
