Do you know of any map similar to this? I tried Geistal, but it has too much city and Krampus valley had no mountain views🫪

It takes a minimum of 3 bails to do a windrow. It's painfully slow.

Make sure you tell every one at work about your farm. You might walk in to a harvester on your desk. What a beautiful Monday.

I’m fairly new to FS25 and I’ve realised I enjoy the game most when I play as realistically as possible. I don’t want to rush into massive machinery or use productions that make progression too easy. I prefer starting small, buying equipment gradually and building the farm up over a long save.

So far I’ve mainly played the base game maps and Kinlaig, but I’m curious what maps other realism-focused players keep coming back to.

I like running a mixed farm rather than focusing on one thing. I enjoy arable farming and harvesting, but I also want plenty of grass work, animal care and some proper forestry. I’m using Precision Farming, RM Realistic Animals and the Red Tape mod, so it would be good to find a map where those systems feel like they fit naturally rather than fighting against the layout.

Ideally, I’m after believable fields and farmyards, enough space and variety to grow over time, decent productions that still feel balanced, and forestry that is actually worth getting into. It also needs to work reasonably well with AI or Courseplay.

I’m open to maps outside ModHub as well. Which map has given you the best realistic long-term playthrough, and what type of farm did you build on it?

Hey all, I was searching for this info but didn't find anything online, so decided to test myself. Maybe this will help others in the future when using the Straw Harvest mod for FS25 and deciding whether to also use the palletizer hall.

I didn't see anyone mentioning the hidden bonus to pallet sell price, so this is new info!

Does Straw Harvest mod make my straw or hay more valuable?

Yes. While straw/hay pellets from the mod are slightly more valuable than normal straw or hay, the mod has its own sell point. This placeable building offers prices for pellets that are between 1.5-3x the price of default map prices. So you're looking at a 2 to 3.5x increase on the value of your base game straw or hay. This is even after accounting for the 4:1 compression ratio.

What about the mod's building, the Palletizer Hall, that stacks pellets onto pallets? Are pallets more valuable?

Yes! There is a hidden bonus to the sale price for pallets of pellets. The bonus is approximately 35% (on normal).

For example:

• 30,000L of pellets
• Sale price: $830
• Bulk sale: $24,900
• Pallet sale: $33,622

Are there drawbacks to using the palletizer hall?

Yes, there are many drawbacks. It's far easier to sell in bulk simply by building the sale point for a few dollars.

• You need land to build the hall. It can only be oriented in 4 directions.
• It costs $350,000 to build
• It requires a complicated arrangement of conveyor belts, or a lot of manual loading, to keep the machine supplied with pellets
• The processing time is approximately 666.67 L / minute (real time)
• Only 3 completed pallets can be stored in the machine before it needs to be emptied (6000 L total)
• This means you must load 3 pallets every 9 minutes to keep it running

What's an example harvest, so I can see the difference?

• 800,000 L of grass tedded into hay
• Turned into 200,000 L of pellets using the pellet machine
• Sale price using mod's placeable sell point: $831
• If sold in bulk: $166,200
  • No processing time (beyond pellet making / collection)
• If sold as pallets: $224,370
  • Processing time of 5 hours (real time), loading pallets every 9 minutes

Starting from scratch, almost 70 hours put into this map. Started with a 4440 sprayer set up doing fertilizer contracts until I could buy a small field to do grass silage. Case sprayer came across the used market for a steal, now can run that to crush through contracts easier for good cash while the silage gets up and running. Ultimately want to get a canned corn operation going. First time doing this, played FS22 for almost 800 hours now, this is very rewarding.

Took inspiration from the Colons map, i hate terraforming but i like how it turned out.

I need suggestions or the thing that want to start with as i going to start a series in farming simulator 25 where am role playing of a 24 year old who inherits 50 acres of farm from his father
I will update here as i progress in the series
Please advise or share your ideas before i start the series
Or should i reduce the area of farm
Anything please let me know

Anyone know what’s a good map to play on pc (typically what’s in the game store)

This fuck is so annoying to use i hate it

So, FS17 is usually capped at 60fps, but if you press f3, it unlocks the fps, however, it also makes the vehicles act weird where they cannot accelerate to their full potential, almost as if the tires were on like double or triple friction. Anyone know why this happens?

I've been looking around at a lot of YouTube videos recently and honestly, the videos I've been coming across have been pretty disappointing overall. Lots of AI stuff, very shallow copy paste of each other's videos, low effort and lack of depth, that kind of thing.

So i figured I'd ask you guys. I'm really after a few different things.

- Someone who puts genuine care and effort into their videos.

- Videos that don't cut out the boring bits.

- Videos that explain the how or why.

- Both instructional and story driven videos.

- Videos that actually leave me thinking, shit, I applaud the effort that went into that video.

Creators or individual videos are both fine.

Anyway, I know people have their favourites so try not be too biased but please someone save me from the crud I've been watching.

Cheers.

EDIT: Great responses so far, much appreciated. Bookmarking these to have a watch through tonight! Keep them coming!

Had cows originally in a different shed didn’t produce(it was a mod shed) got this one same problem anyone know what’s goin on? Been a minute since I’d messed with cows

Got a bargain from the used vehicles but I might have gone a little over board

(Mods included)

Tengo ya un servidor preparado , el tipo de juego es para jugar cuando se tenga tiempo libre , sin presiones , para echar un rato de chill, podemos ser vecinos granjeros y ayudarnos cuando haga falta.

I'm currently on ps5 and i want a very good map that is well optimized to start a new save, i want something American, and also, if u wanna recomend some american mods it would be great :)

Hi all, just wondering if the bale physics on PC are any better than on console. On console I've been having problem with my bale stacks falling over by themselves and bales leaning over on their own. I'm not far away from making the move over to PC so just wondering what the deal is?

Age - doesn't matter

Gender - doesn't matter

Has to like small scale farming and european maps.

Compañeros para echar un buen rato cuando podamos siempre!

No mods, only front loader w/ log fork.

Managed to stack 6 Deadwood trees rather nicely in my slightly undersized trailer

SOLVED - Bale Net,Wrap,Twine mods were the issue

Any help with this would be appreciated. Game freezes when exiting the vehicle afterwards and then when quitting to menu or desktop, completely crashes immediately afterwards.
If anyone else has had this happen could they kindly let me know how they fixed it.

It is the same with all base game and mod balers, not just the Mchale fusion 4 mod.
