Share
The latest installment in the popular Farming Simulator series, Farming Simulator 25, is set to deliver its most ambitious gameplay yet. Launching on November 12, this release brings an array of new crops, animals, and features that promise to elevate the simulation experience for both seasoned players and newcomers. With ground deformation, enhanced AI, and a stunning East Asian-inspired map, players can immerse themselves in the intricacies of modern farming.
New Crops: Rice, Green Beans, and Spinach
Farming Simulator 25 introduces a variety of crops, each with unique planting and harvesting requirements:
- Rice and Long Grain Rice: Players can now grow two types of rice, both needing specialized rice paddies. Standard rice paddies must be flooded prior to planting, while long-grain rice paddies are sown dry and then flooded.
- Green Beans: Planted between April and June, green beans are ready to harvest after four months, adding flexibility for farmers who enjoy crop rotation.
- Spinach: A fast-growing crop, spinach offers the chance for two harvests in a single season if planted early, providing an efficient option for maximizing yield.
These crops add variety to players' farms, requiring strategic planning and management to maintain productivity.
New Animals: Goats and Water Buffalo
The game expands animal husbandry options, allowing players to manage unique animals that bring new products:
- Goats: Agile and resilient, goats offer players a new source of milk, which can be processed into goat cheese—a valuable addition to any dairy operation.
- Water Buffalo: These sturdy animals are excellent grazers and contribute milk for mozzarella cheese production. With their strength and unique requirements, water buffalo bring diversity to farm management.
These additions open up new avenues for animal-based products and offer a fresh take on livestock farming in the Farming Simulator series.
Ground Deformation, GPS Assist, and Enhanced AI
This release emphasizes realism and efficiency with groundbreaking new features:
- Ground Deformation: For the first time, Farming Simulator introduces ground that deforms based on soil type, vehicle weight, and other environmental factors, enhancing the realism of fieldwork.
- GPS-Driven Steering Assist: Players can now rely on GPS guidance to operate vehicles with precision, streamlining tasks like planting and harvesting for a more productive workflow.
- Enhanced AI Workers: The AI has been upgraded to improve reliability and accuracy, with customizable settings such as working width, headland management, and line-skipping. These AI workers now handle tasks more effectively, allowing players to delegate with confidence.
These tools aim to make farm management smoother and more realistic, allowing players to focus on broader strategies and enjoy a more refined gameplay experience.
Town Projects and Constructions
Beyond the fields, Farming Simulator 25 invites players to invest in town development, creating a deeper community connection:
- Construction Projects: Players can fund projects like a historic wagon workshop, a playground builder, or even larger community structures such as a temple and grain elevator museum. These additions enrich the in-game world and create a sense of purpose that extends beyond farming.
New Map: Hutan Pantai
Set in an East Asian-inspired landscape, the new Hutan Pantai map introduces a mix of traditional villages and modern cities. With scenic rice paddies, lush terrain, and bustling towns, this map provides a refreshing change in scenery and gameplay dynamics.
Enhanced Graphics and Interactive NPCs
Thanks to the upgraded GIANTS Engine 10, Farming Simulator 25 boasts improved graphics with dynamic weather, realistic shadows, and distance fog for a more immersive atmosphere. Towns are now livelier with interactive NPCs who offer guidance, contracts, and community insights, adding a vibrant social dimension to the game.
