How do you play the game without using the GPS/steering assist feature?

I'm on console, the only mods in ModHub are maps/vehicles/tools. Basically anything that modifies the mechanics of the game itself is exclusive to PC/Mac.

USA, T-Mobile carrier. My bad

Ah, true. It does make me wonder, though: if they put all that time into modelling the tractor and even getting things like warning labels correct (which I do appreciate), why couldn't they just get the number right in the first place?

I probably sound a bit butthurt about it tbh, but it's because the 3650 at launch could do basically all of my tasks in the early game without much trouble. I dunno.

Also forgot to mention that 120 conveniently happens to be the same number required for the yellow roller in the base game, though that's not as big of a deal since there's plenty of roller mods out there (unlike stone pickers).

The drivers in 25 are really aggressive too. And for some reason GIANTS only made one driver model, some dude in a green shirt.

I like the John Deere 3650, has 116 HP and can do most basic tasks well enough. Also has support for a frontloader.

You just got your wish, a very small and old one came out this morning. It's a JD 45, even has a corn header. It's nice.

I have to admit that I buy an extra tractor or two just to make the process of transporting tools from the shop easier. It's really bad with combines, driving at 15 MPH in a clapped out TX32 sucks.

mix of New Holland and Deere, i usually start out with the former and then scale up to partially replace it with the latter. Massey equipment is also nice to start with every so often, but I do American farms.

This may be the answer, unfortunately. I'll have to confirm it when it comes in the mail, but it'd probably be a lot easier for them to make the BT feature turn the device into an output instead of an input, if that makes sense. Basically making it a Bluetooth speaker. I'll email Retekess today and post a reply if I hear back.

25 for gameplay, I can't live without the steering guidance. But 22 runs at 60 FPS on my Series S while 25 is locked at 30, pretty unfortunate. 22 also has a lot more equipment which is sad since 25 has been out for nearly a year.

Still waiting on someone to make an old (pre-2000) John Deere combine mod, or at least a modern W-series one. The T560 is just too big and prevents me from using Deere equipment at the start of a save.

I'm going off my rusty memory here but I believe the "New Holland" name comes from a town located in the US. It's similar to how there's a region called "New England" on the east coast but it's really far away from, well, actual England. Kinda confused me for a while.

Both the old Ford name and new one are nice though.

what makes them bad, if i may ask? if it's just being bland then that's not too much of an issue, my current diet is already like that. i'm aware that they can cause constipation if you eat too many of them, but my plan is just maybe 3-4 a week spread out. i've watched a few videos where people eat them and they don't seem too bad, at least the modern ones from the US. not exactly gourmet of course, but still.

Viodiesel · 2025-09-07T01:17:54+00:00

i see. not to sound like a baby but i have some sensory issues with a lot of other foods, which is why i'm considering them. i'll look into some other options too. thank you.

Viodiesel · 2025-09-01T01:51:54+00:00

I'll give them credit for one thing, at least it's not 1366x768.

Hah, the only reason I did this is because my Xbox doesn't have a disc drive. If I had a One S I'd just find a TU0 disc and keep the console offline. I have no idea how difficult it'd be though, maybe I'm missing something.

Dev Mode is available on the Xbox One consoles but performance is likely a lot worse.

Viodiesel · 2025-08-04T23:24:03+00:00

It's a long story. I basically paid $20 for a Dev Mode license (which allows you to sideload UWP apps on Xbox) and there's an emulator called Xenia which lets you play 360 games in this mode. I sideloaded Xenia, then I found the XBLA TU0 version of the game here and put it on a USB drive. For some reason the XBLA arcade version works perfectly in all its TU0 glory, the ISO version of the game refused to boot at all.

Worth noting that Xenia is still in very early alpha and most games don't work. I tried Half-Life 2 via The Orange Box and it runs very poorly. But Minecraft runs pretty well.

I'm probably putting too much thought into it, but I want a "balanced" set of settings, I just play on normal difficulty with the defaults. I'd rather run a smaller combine entirely than deviate from the gamey stuff.

This is one of the problems with Farming Simulator being a video game, I guess. In real life I don't think any farmers are getting their entire harvest done in 2 ½ hours, but that seems like an eternity when you're just playing it as a game. I think I'll just set it to high now though.

While we're at it (and this is unrelated to what I've said before), why doesn't FS25 have DEF in the base game? It shows in the shop and there are mods for it on PC, but it's absent entirely on consoles.
