🚜 Farming Simulator 25: A new beginning in virtual farming 🚜
Welcome to our blog post about the Let's Play video from Farming Simulator 25 (LS25). In this article, we take you on a journey through virtual farming, starting with the inheritance of a small farm from Grandpa Walter. The player starts with a budget of €500,000 and a few old machines. The aim is to expand the farm, buy new fields, acquire modern equipment and build new structures.
First steps and improvements on the farm
The video begins with sowing and harvesting in a small field, using an older Deutz tractor and a seed drill. The player highlights the new AI helper in LS25, which comes with customizable settings including adjustable working width and headland management. Grass is harvested at the beginning as it is well suited for early game progression. The AI helper, called "Udo", is used to assist with harvesting.
Acquisition of new machines
The player then visits the in-game store to buy new equipment. Despite the initial budget of €500,000, a considerable amount is spent on a Fendt 300 tractor (fully equipped), a front loader and a trailer (with a turntable for easier reversing). The player will notice the improved but different store interface in LS25, which takes some getting used to.
Observations and challenges in gameplay
The player comments on the improved graphics and details in LS25, especially the vehicle paintwork. However, some aspects are criticized, such as the slightly choppy vehicle handling and character control, which appear less mature than in LS22. The road layout is also mentioned, as it seems bumpier than on the US map.
Future plans and community involvement
The player outlines future plans, including expanding the farm with a cowshed, vehicle shed and possibly mushroom cultivation. He actively encourages audience participation by soliciting suggestions for a nickname for Grandpa Walter and asking for feedback on the farm's development plans. The player also mentions the intention to explore the collectibles on the map. The video ends with the continuation of the harvest and the promise of more updates in the next episodes.
Important findings
- Improvements in LS25: Improved graphics, improved AI helper, new store interface.
- Vulnerabilities in LS25: Less sophisticated vehicle and character control compared to LS22, bumpy road layout.
- Gameplay focus: Setting up the farm, purchasing equipment, harvesting and future expansion plans.
- Community interaction: Encouraging audience participation in naming characters and shaping court development.
