If you\u2019re ready to cultivate lands and harvest crops, let\u2019s show you how to play Farming Simulator 22<\/strong> so you can learn the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Farming Simulator 22?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Farming Simulator 22 is an open-world farming simulation game<\/strong> where you have land to sow seeds and harvest crops. It also has animals for you to provide different products, such as milk and wool. There are contracts you can accept to work on other farms, but you\u2019ll have the opportunity to buy the land and develop it for more profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the point of Farming Simulator?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The primary objective of Farming Simulator 22 is to grow and sell crops and products<\/strong> to make as many in-game funds as possible. You\u2019ll have several tools and equipment at your disposal, each one equipped for a specific purpose. Ultimately, you want to own as much land as possible for the best financial bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to play Farming Simulator 22<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Learning how to play Farming Simulator 22 is easy if you\u2019ve tried the previous games in the franchise. Most of the game mechanics are the same, with a few exceptions. If you\u2019re new to the series, here are a few basic tips for getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you start off in Farming Simulator?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To play Farming Simulator 22, you need to buy, download and install it. You\u2019ll need at least 35 GB<\/strong> of space on your PC with 8GB RAM. It only works on Windows 10 and higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start a new game, it will ask you which mode you\u2019d like to play<\/strong>. They rank as easy, medium, and hard and will affect how much money you begin with as well as some economic factors. There are also three maps in different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as you\u2019ve selected a difficulty, you can create a character. The choices started with gender, but you can browse clothing and physical attributes after that. Give your new character a name, and you\u2019ll enter the farming world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the steps?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the easier modes, you\u2019ll have one piece of land you can start with. It\u2019s best that you look around at the buildings and equipment you have to see what you have to work with. When you\u2019re ready to get your virtual hands dirty in Farming Simulator 2, these are the steps you\u2019ll need to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Plow<\/strong>: You\u2019ll need to prepare the land the first time you plan on using it. It\u2019s best if you check the crop requirements to see whether you should use a plow or a subsoiler. <\/li>
  2. Cultivate<\/strong>: After you harvest crops, you\u2019ll need to cultivate the soil to prepare it for sowing. It\u2019s usually considered the first step, depending on if plowing is necessary.<\/li>
  3. Sow\/plant<\/strong>: To grow crops, you need to sow the seeds into the cultivated land first. When you attach a sower to a tractor, you can select which type you want to plant.<\/li>
  4. Fertilize<\/strong>: If you want better yield and improved crops, you should fertilize the soil with nutrients. There are various types of fertilizers from which you can choose.<\/li>
  5. De-weed<\/strong>: Weeds will appear between your crops now and again, so you\u2019ll need to remove them. If the crops are still young, you can use a de-weeding attachment. Otherwise, you\u2019ll need to perform some chemical spraying.<\/li>
  6. Lime<\/strong>: After harvesting crops a few times, the soil starts to lose its natural resources, and normal fertilizer isn\u2019t as effective. You\u2019ll need to spray some lime over the soil to assist.<\/li>
  7. Harvest<\/strong>: With your crops ready, you can now harvest them. Make sure there\u2019s a trailer nearby to transport them when the harvester is full.<\/li>
  8. Sell or store<\/strong>: You\u2019ll have two options<\/li>
  9. Remove withered crops<\/strong>: If you\u2019re too late in harvesting, your crops will wither and become unusable. You\u2019ll need to cultivate the land to remove the waste.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Different vehicles, equipment, crops, and animals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Another step in learning how to play Farming Simulator 22 is getting to know your resources<\/strong>. Pause the game and take some time to work through the vehicles and equipment. There\u2019s even a guide on what each of them does, which will help you in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You should also pay attention to the details and prices of the different types of crops<\/strong>. For instance, you can collect straw after harvesting wheat and oats that you\u2019ll feed to some of your animals. There\u2019s also a profit from mowing grass and baling them into hay or silage blocks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, pay attention to the requirements of various animals<\/strong>. While they\u2019ll provide a steady income, you\u2019ll need to supply them with food, straw, and water to keep them happy. If you don\u2019t have these in stock, you\u2019ll have to buy some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Purchasing land<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    As soon as you have a hang of things and your money is doing well, consider purchasing more land. You\u2019ll be able to grow and harvest more crops and thereby derive a greater income. Start with the most affordable ones and work your way up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Farming Simulator 22: tips and tricks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You now have the foundation of how to play Farming Simulator 22. Once you have the hang of it, you may want to look at some advanced techniques. Here are some tips to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Use workers carefully<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When farming lands, you have the option to have a worker do it for you. You\u2019ll pay them wages<\/strong>, depending on the activity. You\u2019ll need to see if you\u2019ll still make a profit; otherwise, you might as well just do it yourself. Quick tasks like fertilizing and cultivating generally take up more money and won\u2019t yield a decent return on investment if you outsource them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sell what you don\u2019t need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    As soon as you start playing Farming Simulator 22, look at which buildings and equipment on your land you don\u2019t need. You can make some extra money<\/strong> by selling them, which you can use for decent vehicles and improvements. When you earn more income, consider selling old tractors for better ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Accepting contracts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You\u2019ll notice on the dashboard that there\u2019s a tab for contracts<\/strong>. If you want to make some dough quickly (pun intended)<\/em>, accept one and complete the task as quickly as possible. We usually start the day dealing with our own lands before spending the rest of it on contracts. It\u2019s an excellent way to maximize profits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Check the market before selling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We know you\u2019re eager to make some money, but have a look at the market for your crops and animal products<\/strong>. It will work in your favor to find the stores that will pay the most for them at that time. Remember, the rates change based on demand, so always ensure you head back to see the current buying price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cut some trees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you have trees on your land, you can cut them down and sell the wood<\/strong>. You\u2019ll need some forestry equipment, which you\u2019ll be able to afford later in the game. In the beginning, consider spending some time chopping them down to size with a chainsaw and placing it in the back of your trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Watch the seasons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A new feature introduced in Farming Simulator 22 is the seasonal cycle<\/strong>. The weather and climate will change over time, and it will have a massive impact on your crops and when you can harvest. Make sure you have everything in place for when the snows of winter arrive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Look at the mods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Game modders love producing new content for Farming Simulator games. You won\u2019t need to install them separately, as you can access them in the game itself. Have a look at which features you\u2019d like to add to your farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Cross-play multiplayer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    No matter which platform you choose to play Farming Simulator 22 on, you\u2019ll be able to join your friends online<\/strong>. You have the choice to compete for the most income and land, or join forces and manage the farms together. All you need to do is connect with your friends or join a server to play with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s get farming!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    As you can see, Farming Simulator 22 is more than just a casual game. There\u2019s plenty to do, and it just depends on how much time you have to do it in. You can get lost for hours growing and harvesting on your farm. There are even social channels dedicated to online competitions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
