Visually Farming Simulator doesn’t look great, in fact much of it looks like a PS2 title. The missions though are not varied, with the same or similar missions popping up time and again.
The first time you do a mission and buy the equipment you may make only a tiny profit, but afterwards you’ll make more money. To do these missions you’ll have to buy the necessary equipment, and these will be an investment. These vary from mowing a patch of grass at the golf course, because the golfers are upset with it, to transporting some lost luggage or goods to a store. However farming isn’t the only activity available in the game, with missions appearing every 10 or 20 minutes, depending on your settings. There’s no sense of fatigue, so you can be planting and harvesting continuously to earn money. Your farmer and workers do not get tired, working 24 hours a day as if they were machines. There is a day and night cycle but it really has no affect on most farming activities, except for animals sleeping. I’ve got a brand new combine harvester…after paying off my loan. Eggs, meanwhile, have to be collected and sold manually at the village shops. I eventually figured out that you just have to buy the livestock and they’ll be put in the correct place for you, with milk trucks coming to collect the produce automatically. There are little hints scattered around the farm but they don’t go to in as much depth as the main tutorials. There’s no mention on how to raise livestock, like cows and sheep, instead leaving you to figure it on your own. However that tutorial won’t go into all the details you need. Overall this learning process will take about an hour. You’ll be taught the correct way to sow, cultivate and fertilise a field, harvest the crops and sell them at the market. These teach the basics of how most of the vehicles work, and how to correctly farm your crops. The best place to start is with the tutorials, of which there are eleven. Farming Simulator doesn’t recreate these scenarios, instead giving a much more educational and rigid experience of running a farming business. Sure, I took the school trips to see how a farm works, and I’ve visited my grandparent’s farm – not often as it’s located in India – where I “helped” by being chased by bulls and chewing raw sugar cane. My personal experience of farming is limited.
