Farming Simulator 19 – Community Wishlist

I think the game would benefit from an optional role-playing element that wouldn’t affect the main farm sim aspect. For example:

• A map where most fields are covered with trees. It’s up to you as the farmer to clear fields (instead of purchasing them) to make them farmable.
• Upgradeable homestead. Starting with a flat, empty farmyard with one silo and one small shed (and a small house), and the ability to add silos, sheds, replacing the house with a larger one, etc as you make more money.
• Other farmers tending their fields to make the game seem more realistic.

Other ideas:

• The ability to lease my fields to other farmers.
• Longer production chains similar to what Stevie does in his maps (compost, seed production, etc).

• Waypoint system. Set a waypoint for sellpoint or farm or field. Tractor drives there, following the roads. If Cattle and crops and pull it off. Giants can deffinately do it.
• Hired helpers using whatever is in the implement before buying. Now you can have almost enough seed for the entire field. You can either use the seed and have the helper stop. or put it on helper buying seed. Why not combine the two ? helper is using up the seed in the seeder, when he runs out he will buy the rest.
• Delivery when buying new equipment. Pay a little extra and have whatever you bought be delivered to your farm. Instead of abusing the reset vehicle on most mod maps.
• Used equipment. Buy a old bigger trailer used. If they implemented a better maintanance system, this would be even better feature.
• I would love if you started with a smaller farm. Just a house and a tiny outdated silo. Now you bought and upgraded the farm. better silo. Vehicle storage and other fancy farm stuff
• An axe to remove bushes and stuff from the map. Now after the platinum edition. You could atleast plow to remove bushes and other vegetation. But you can’t really do that everywhere. What about a tool you could do it manualy with, without actually disturbing the ground ?
• Now we got plowing for 10% and fertilizer for 30% extra yield. What about pesticides, anti-fungus and weed killers ? Toggleable option just like plowing is now, but for those who want. Even more work on fields.

• I want Case 7250
• More Realistic mod as part of the game as a toggleable option
• Gearbox mod as part of the game as a toggle able option
• Buying used machinery (with rust shader) Restoring them would cost time and money but would bring them back to shiny new state.
• Toggle able break downs on machinery with a service and parts truck or trailer.
• puddles after rain (mostly in fields) with some mud effects when rolling through
• insects and weeds invading fields
• placeable kiosk with hireable employee where you can deliver produces (lettuce, tomato, fruits, honey, milk and eggs) for the employee to sell during the day. You make 100% money if all the listed produce are delivered to the kiosk and if you have an employee working. Produce to be able to be delivered to the kiosk need to be properly packed on pallets and not delivered in bulk.
• placeable packing building for the produce listed above. You hire an employee, deliver bulk produce as input (lettuce, tomato, fruits, honey, milk and eggs) and the employee packs them in smaller pallets as output. You can then take these packed produce and bring them to your kiosk to be sold.

It would be interesting to see some options that get you out from behind the wheel:

• Greenhouse work. Greenhouses are not just “fire-and-forget” revenue streams in real life. Raising tomatoes, for example, requires daily inspection of plants along with pruning, hand-pollination, manual guiding the vines along poles etc. A single small greenhouse with 500-600 plants can require several hours of daily work, and that’s not counting picking, sorting and packing.
• Orchard work. A lot of what is required would be impossible to model, for example how you need to go over each apple tree and prune blossoms to ensure large and attractive fruit. That takes forever. They don’t need to include that, but they could at least include some kind of advanced interaction with the trees. Or, at the veryleast, allow you to assign workers that are shown standing on ladders and doing stuff in the trees (for cosmetic reasons).

I also wouldn’t mind a chance to manage some smaller-scale farms. I live and work in Japan, and the farms around here are usually no larger than 3-4 people can handle. Farmers expand only selectively, if at all. An extra map featuring a ton of small farms that you can’t buy plus your own land could be a change I and some others would enjoy. Perhaps have a mechanism in place for a bit of land to occasionally go up for sale (say, a farmer is getting old and decides to sell a rice field).

More American options in the store for equipment and tractors: Front 3 point/pto or weight options, wheel width and how many.

That beautiful ground response from Spintires has. (Maybe ask Focus Home Interactive for some help? :D)

Fat cattle option other then just dairy. (I.e. no milk production, but instead different prices for fat cattle. Add grain options to TMR, because I don’t know a single farmer who adds straw to their mixed feed.)

Better chickens for more expanded production. (Feeders, egg layers, breeders. Able to feed and water them.)

More crop diversity! Crops like oats, alfalfa, milo, peas, sweat corn.

Spudnik! They are apart of the Grimmie family, and from the United States! It would be awesome to see more North American potato and sugar beet equipment available!

Crop spacing, angle, and variants. Not all corn, beans, wheat, and potato’s are planted in the same widths, nor are they all the same variety, growth time, and yield.

And to rap it all up, I know I’m asking for a lot. By no means do I expect this to be all in Farming Simulator 19. But with future DLC’s updates and new titles, these are just what I could think of that I would love to see in Farming Simulator some day!
