Farming Simulator 19 – quick answers to common questions

Since the developers have implemented some elements of the game not in the most obvious way, many players have similar problems that complicate the gameplay. This guide provides answers to the most frequently asked questions about Farming Simulator 19.

What do difficulty levels affect?

Before starting the game, you are asked to choose one of three difficulty levels. They all differ in starting resources and some game settings. It is worth noting that the settings can be changed at your discretion at any time. As for the resources, they are as follows:

  • New farmer – is the easiest level for beginners. Here, at the start, players have their own small farm, several land plots, 100,000 on account, machinery and equipment. In general, everything you need to start the game.
  • Farm manager starts on the map without equipment and land, but on the account it has 1,250,000. This option invites the player to independently decide on a place for his farm and the equipment that he will need. You also need to keep in mind that 250,000 of the amount provided are credit funds, and interest will be written off on them daily. They can be returned immediately.
  • Start from scratch… Despite the fact that the mode offers to start, supposedly, from scratch, the player’s account will have 500,000. As in the previous version, there is nothing else, and further development depends on the user’s preferences. The most hardcore players write off this amount with the help of modifications, and really start from scratch, going to work as a salaried worker or take out a loan.

What to grow first?

Farming Simulator 19 faqs

At the initial stage, you should grow those crops for which you have equipment for harvesting. For example, harvesting corn and sunflowers requires a special header. And for potatoes, beets, cotton and sugarcane there is also a special harvester. In addition, these crops are planted using specialized equipment. Therefore, at the start, it is better to deal with grain crops.

It is worth noting that despite the fact that their selling price is different, they also give a different harvest volume. Those. with an average price of wheat of 300 per 1000 you can earn the same as from soybeans at an average price of 700 per 1000. The fact is that from 1 hectare of land wheat will yield twice as much yield as soybeans. Also, after wheat, you can collect straw, and earn extra money. As a result, the income received from both crops will be approximately equal. However, soybeans are still preferable, since their collection is faster (no need to collect straw), it gives less volume, i.e. and the time spent on transportation to the point of sale will be reduced.

How do I save the game?

By default, saves occur automatically every 15 minutes. But this parameter can be set for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or turned off, while saving manually and pressing the spacebar in the game settings. The main disadvantage is that all saves are done in one slot. Therefore, if something goes wrong, it is not always possible to roll back to a better state.

Experienced players disable autosaves and make saves manually. And in order to “sort out” the save into different slots, you need to minimize the game, go to the folder with the saves, and make copies, transferring them to any convenient place.

How do I buy new fields?

How does the rental of equipment work?

Equipment rental or leasing is a very useful opportunity at an early stage, when the player does not have extra funds to buy his equipment. To rent equipment, you need to go to the store, select the required tractor / combine / attachment model, and click Rent. The first installment will be charged for the fact of renting. Further, every motorcycle hour and every day a certain amount will be debited. However, this is much more profitable than spending a large amount at once on the purchase of new clothes.

Why isn’t the trailer unloading?

The game mechanics are designed in such a way that players do not accidentally scatter the materials in the trailer. Whether it be the accidental pressing of the unload key or the overturn of the vehicle.

However, if there is an urgent need to release the trailer, you can do this by pressing the key combination “shift” + “I”.

Black screen when trying to mount a horse

In some cases, an error occurs when a black screen appears when trying to drive around a horse. However, the game continues to run normally. This can be understood by the sounds of the environment and the snorting of horses. There is no solution to this problem, you must forcefully close the game with the alt + shift + f4 combination or minimize – alt + Tab, and then close and start again.

The cause of the problem is the incompatibility of the game with the mods for the automatic training of horses. However, the error does not appear on all computer configurations. It is also worth keeping in mind that such a mod is built into the Global Company script, without which modifications for production will not work. Therefore, if an error occurs, you will have to give up riding horses, or from the above modifications.

How do I install mods?

The game has a built-in hub with modifications approved by the developers. After selecting and downloading a mod, it is automatically installed. However, to connect it to the game, you must check the box before loading the map. It is worth noting that most of the mods can be connected at any time, since they do not require starting a new game.

However, an unnecessary mod can be disabled by unchecking the box. When you start the map, a message about the missing mod will appear, click OK, and continue playing. If the disabled mod was a vehicle or attachment, it will disappear from the in-game store. In the case of static objects and industries, they will disappear from the map, and in their place there will be an empty space on which a new building can be placed.
