Since Grass grows pretty much all over the map and does not need to be resowed, Hay is essentially free. However, it can pay for itself very rapidly, as explained further down this article. Although cheap equipment can be purchased for each of these tasks, it is still somewhat expensive to get into Hay. The minimum machinery required for this process is a small Tractor, a Mower, a Tedder, a Bale Trailer, and either a Front Loader or Bale Loader to pick the bales up from the field. ( Note again that Hay cannot be picked up in loose form - since that simply creates Grass). This should allow you to distinguish between them at a glance (although with Round Bales, that may be more difficult, especially at a distance, as the colors are harder to notice). Hay Bales are green, as opposed to Straw Bales, which are yellow. Pick up the Dried Grass using a Baler, to create either round bales or square bales or Hay.(optional) Run a Windrower over the Dried Grass to arrange it into a single trail, making it easier for pickup.Note: Although the description for tedders states that they "decrease" the drying times of cut grass, grass will not dry of its own accord. This will instantly turn it into Dried Grass. This will leave one or more trails of Grass behind the mower, depending on the specific equipment used. You must follow the process below in order to create, dry, and collect Grass to make Hay: And with nothing else to do, I swapped tractors, hired someone else to plow the field, and went off into the night to see if anyone needed their grass cut.Hay is simply cut and dried grass, which has been picked up as Bales.

Then the field was done, the harvester came to an idling halt, and my hired hand disappeared without a word.

The PC was doing most of the work, and yet it was the closest I ever came to feeling like I was on a farm. I spent the better part of an hour one night just hauling corn from the field to my silo, watching the harvester trundle up and down the field under the light of the moon. The sad part is that I actually enjoyed the ‘farming.’ Keeping my rows straight(ish), pulling loads of canola and corn in my beat-up old Hurlimann, and not really having to think too much about anything.

People shamble around aimlessly, like zombies, with dead eyes and expressionless faces, and even the shop where I bought all my swanky new equipment was utterly empty: My purchases simply appeared, like magic, in the parking lot. Textures are flat, the draw distances are terrible, clipping errors abound, and virtually the entire world is non-interactive. People shamble around aimlessly, like zombies, with dead eyes and expressionless faces.Īnd as pretty as the tractors are, everything else looks like it could have come out of Farming Sim 2012. Worse, I was given the same yard to cut, every single time. Not that it really matters anyway, thanks to the ridiculously generous side missions: I made nearly 20,000 euros in a single day by completing three grass-cutting jobs.

But once that was done, I was entirely on my own, a situation not helped by the largely uninformative tutorial and a brief instruction manual that explains the basic mechanics but little else.Ĭommodity prices fluctuate based upon supply, but while arrows beside each commodity type indicate whether its price is up, down, or stable, there's no record of past prices, sales, or anything that makes the game feel like something coherent is happening under the hood.

I began with several tractors, basic implements, and a field of wheat waiting to be harvested. Farming Simulator 15 is a very unguided game.
