Articles on Farming Simulator 2022 32

Farming Simulator 22 is just around the corner. Opinions vary. Some players believe the game will be a failure from the start, while others say FS22 is just a plain clone of Farming Simulator 19. But is that really the case? It's hard to say for sure since the game hasn't been released yet, but in this article, we'll try to figure out what really sets FS22 apart from its predecessor. 
Production Chains
The first thing that comes to mind is production chains. This is quite a controversial point, as some say this feature has long existed in FS19 thanks to mods. But let's look at it from another perspective. If you think logically, so many mods were created for FS19 that coming up with something new on your own is almost impossible: modders have covered everything.


But the very fact that the developers have thoroughly worked on and added features from popular mods into the base game is not a bad thing—in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Now modders will have much more time and energy to work on new ideas, and the game’s own capabilities will open new doors for mod creators.
Being able to process flour into bakery products, grapes into raisins, and so on is a very important part of the gameplay, since not all players use mods, and modders don’t always manage to update their projects to the latest game version. With this, such problems and constant updates can be forgotten. 
Crossplay
This news delighted many fans of the series. We have already mentioned that FS22 will feature crossplay between all available and current platforms: PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 and 5, previous-generation Xbox, next-generation Xbox, and other platforms.
If you like playing with your friends or just want to meet new people, there will be no barriers for you, as PC players will be able to play with console players. 
It’s worth noting that such a feature is very rare. Take SnowRunner, for example, which doesn’t even have proper crossplay between the two PC stores: Steam and Epic Games Store, let alone crossplay between different platforms. 
The real question is how the developers will implement this. It’s hard to judge until the game is released, but we can hope they will keep their word and deliver a high-quality experience. 
New Types of Equipment – Gameplay Variety
Yes, Farming Simulator 22 will have a lot of new and old equipment. However, we’re not just talking about different cultivators. This concerns completely new machinery used if you grow new crops, and FS22 will start with 3 of them. 

If you decide to grow grapes or olives, you will need to perform a series of additional actions to harvest, and you won’t be able to do without new specialized equipment. This really adds a lot of variety to the gameplay. 
Also, don’t forget that new crops are grown differently and require a special approach to farm care to achieve the best results. If you want to build a truly beautiful vineyard and create a unique farm, you can do it without any mods.
Precision Farming and Other Additions
For a long time, the developers created expansions for FS19. Players loved precision farming, which brought a lot of interesting features to the game. This expansion significantly improved gameplay variety.

Although it took quite a while for this expansion to be released for FS19, it is already known that precision farming will be included in FS22. And you won’t have to pay for it—it will be provided for free with the base game. Consequently, the gameplay has become much better, and many old expansions will be integrated into the base game. 
Improved Engine, Enhanced Sounds
This is a very important aspect that many have underestimated. As we reported earlier, the game engine has been significantly improved. This means the graphics will be much better (especially considering the dynamic surface changes with parallax effects). Yes, the game has made a leap forward graphically, although many didn’t notice it in the videos. As we know well, developers tend to exaggerate, and trailer and gameplay videos often differ greatly from the final game. Will this be the case with FS22? Maybe, but only to a minor extent. We can’t predict in advance; the wait is almost over.
It’s quite possible that this improved engine will open new opportunities for modders. We don’t yet know 100% how deeply Giants Engine 9 has been reworked, but it’s likely modders will have plenty to work on.
And let’s not forget about the sounds. The overall sound has been significantly improved. Special attention is deserved by the dynamic change effect of exhaust, engine, and other sounds for a higher quality game experience. 
Built-in Seasons Effect, New Construction Mode, Character Editor
Let’s discuss some of the latest very interesting details, some of which have become known to us quite recently. Everyone probably knows about the Seasons mod. The developers have added an improved seasons system to the game. This affects not only the visual aspect but also directly impacts gameplay. This setting can always be turned off, but then the gameplay will suffer.

If you enable seasons, you will have to carefully monitor the calendar, because certain crops must be grown in specific seasons to get a good quality harvest and, of course, profit. And visually, everything will look very cool, if we believe the developers.
The next interesting features are the construction mode and character editor. It’s quite simple. Construction mode is a very useful feature, especially considering production chains. You will have to build various buildings, and a dedicated mode will be helpful here. The character editor is designed so you can create your unique farmer, choose their clothing and overall appearance, and show your individuality in multiplayer (and with such a cool crossplay feature, this will come in very handy).
And that brings our article to a close, dear readers. Please write in the comments what you think about the upcoming FS22. We remind you that this article is based on news from the developers. We are not advertising FS22; we are simply writing based on known facts.  

While many farmers are trying to find additional ways to earn money, FS22 will offer the opportunity to start a real business without distracting from standard farming tasks. Of course, we’re talking about production chains that allow you to process crops and obtain more expensive ingredients, food, and more, earning money from it. We have already discussed several such options. For example, you can process wheat into flour, and from flour make bakery products. However, this is not all, and today we will explore this topic in a bit more detail. 
Become a local farming magnate!
Initially, Farming Simulator 22 will offer players only 13 enterprises and factories that process ingredients and produce more valuable products. You can open your own bakery, greenhouse, dairy plant, and much more. You can see all 13 options in the screenshot below.

The most notable thing is that you can proceed in different ways. For example, you can simply deliver ingredients and crops to other people’s factories and earn money by selling. But there is a more profitable way – to purchase these enterprises or place them on your own land, supply your factories with the necessary resources, process them, and earn greater profits.
You can produce furniture from wood, various clothing, oil, cheese, juices, chocolate, sugar, flour, bread, and much more. The full list of possible products is shown in the screenshot below.

It is not yet known whether the developers will add other production chains and ingredients after the game’s release, but it is safe to say that modders will definitely do so. 

The release of Farming Simulator 22 is just around the corner. There’s not much time left, and the debates among fans of the series continue. Some believe that FS22 is just FS19 with popular mods. Others are eagerly awaiting the release of this game. Who is right – only time will tell, and all we can do is hope that the game will indeed be interesting. This is more of a conversational article to discuss the changes we would like to see in FS22, our expectations, and those of thousands of other players. 
Improved Graphics
Hundreds of players complain specifically about the graphics. We would like to see cool graphics that meet the standards of 2021, as this is a very important part of the game. From our news and articles, you may have seen many times what improved graphics in FS22 look like. However, the developers promised that they will continue working on improving the graphical component up to the release (and possibly after the release as well).

We want to believe that the game will look beautiful. At the very least, better than Farming Simulator 19. Yes, there are various beautiful effects like parallax, improved surfaces, and much more. But what we will actually get is still unknown, since it’s hard to judge from screenshots alone, and it has often happened that developers show one thing in videos and screenshots, but the actual game is quite different. 
We won’t speculate on this topic; there’s not much time left. Also, modders haven’t disappeared, and everyone will be able to customize everything as they want.
New Engine
The engine is the most important part of the game. Essentially, it affects absolutely everything. A poor engine can cause optimization problems, leading to lag and similar issues. However, it also directly affects the developers’ ability to add new gameplay (and other) features to the game, as well as the modders’ capabilities. Therefore, the better and more advanced the engine is, the more possibilities modders will have to create cool and high-quality modifications without any restrictions.
We already know that FS22 uses an improved, refined engine from FS19. However, we don’t have concrete information on how extensively it was reworked or what improvements were made. We would really like the engine to be thoroughly developed so that the game is much cooler and we always get interesting and diverse mods. 
New Gameplay Features
A huge number of players have complaints specifically about the gameplay aspect of the game. Many believe that Farming Simulator 22 has absolutely nothing new: it’s the same as FS19, just with popular mods added.

In fact, this topic could be debated for a long time. On one hand, the developers really took many popular mods as a basis. We are all familiar with Seasons and Global Company. But is that a bad thing? No! It’s actually very good because they added to the game what many players loved, and with the option to disable them.
It’s important to understand that FS22 is a simulator, a continuation of the popular Farming Simulator series, and it’s very difficult to come up with new gameplay features in a simulator because it essentially already has everything. In
 FS19, new features were added gradually: precision farming and so on. In FS22, all of this will be available from the start: you will be able to enable seasonal changes, which adds more realism to your game. You can build your own factories and process your resources into something more valuable, then earn more from it. And that’s really cool, actually.
There are many more gameplay improvements in the game. Just consider the full-fledged beekeeping system and improved animal husbandry system, a separate construction mode, production chains (which we will discuss below), new greenhouses, a realistic soil treatment system, and much more. Yes, there will be plenty to do in the game.
However, the expectations of many players (including ours) have not been fully met. Yes, the gameplay features are cool, but we would like to see more interesting original ideas. Perhaps new features will be released as updates and expansions, like “Precision Farming” for FS19, but so far there is too little information from the developers, and we expect that the changes listed above will not be the end of it.
Production Chains
We have already talked many times about production chains, which actually bring a lot of variety to your game. We even recently published a complete list of initial items that you can produce.

It’s no secret that the developers took this idea from a very popular project – Global Company. On one hand, this is pretty cool, though it’s unclear whether they will develop this idea further or just keep the standard materials and forget about this feature.
If they do it, they should do it well. We would like to have options. For example, we know that raisins can be made from grapes. However, we would like to see many more options. For instance, about 5 production lines for each type of product. This would significantly diversify the game.
Yes, there are quite a few production options, but we would like everything to be included in the project from the start, not like with GlobalCompany – where hundreds of different mods add hundreds of different productions. When everything is gathered in one place, it’s much more convenient. Modders will improve and refine all this anyway; it’s impossible to add every possible production option, but having choices is always good.
Crops
This part really disappointed us, as well as many other players judging by the comments. Farming Simulator 22 has many crops. However, the biggest downside is that 99% of them are simply carried over from previous parts of the game, and there are only 3 new crops: sorghum, olives, and grapes.

This is truly disappointing because in a new game we would like to see at least 10 new crops with new gameplay features (unique care requirements, yields, and so on). However, we were given only 3 crops. Yes, we can create our own vineyard and build a truly beautiful farm. The same goes for olives. But do you think this is enough, considering this is not just a DLC but a completely separate game that has been in development for a long time?
Many considered this to be sloppy work on the part of the developers – and it really is. However, it’s quite possible that new crops will be added by the developers as the game evolves. If that doesn’t happen, modders will take care of it, but still – this leaves an unpleasant aftertaste.
Proper Crossplay
Many players prefer to play Farming Simulator games together with their friends. However, crossplay nowadays is quite rare. Just look at the situation with SnowRunner, where developers spent several months creating crossplay not between different platforms, but between different stores: EGS and Steam.

Yes, Farming Simulator 22 will have crossplay, and it will be very cool: between different stores and platforms – PC (different stores), PlayStation, Xbox, and so on. However, everything sounds great in words, but in practice, developers often deceive players and release unfinished products.
So what do we expect from crossplay in FS22? Our expectations are not high; we just want everything to work. No desynchronization between players, no annoying bugs, and so on. After all, the developers added a very cool character editor and prepared many features for cooperative play. 
Fewer Paid Add-ons
This is unavoidable, but among simulators there is often a trend: developers release unfinished products, split the game into parts, and sell them separately. This is very unpleasant because when you pay a full price, like for an AAA project, you expect to get a complete product at least.
Bugs, flaws, and errors can be forgiven, but when developers openly profit off the fans of the series by selling the game in parts – that is unforgivable. We really hope that FS22 will abandon this approach and players will get a finished product right away. 
Undoubtedly, expansions will be released because the project needs to be supported somehow. However, they should be true expansions, not cut-out parts of the game. 
FS22 Maps
And last but not least – the availability of maps and their good development. For Farming Simulator 19, new maps from modders are released daily. However, not every one of them can compare to the original maps from the developers themselves.

This leads to the following desire. We want to have more maps so that the game itself captivates for a long time without using mods at the start. But it’s not just about quantity, but also quality. We would like each map to have its own interesting features and a high level of detail and overall quality. This is not a difficult task, but so far there is too little information about the maps. 
And so our article has come to an end, dear readers. Write in the comments what exactly you expect from FS22 and whether you plan to play this game or prefer FS19. We would be interested to discuss this with you. We look forward to seeing you in the comments!

Here is the very first lesson on Farming Simulator 22, where we will start a new save and discuss which settings are best for beginners. 


Choosing the Game Difficulty 


There are 3 difficulty levels in the game. Let's look at them individually:
New Farmer. This is the easiest mode, which beginners should choose. In this difficulty mode, players start with a certain plot of land and equipment. All gameplay elements are set to "easy" difficulty, and profits are much higher. The perfect difficulty for getting acquainted with the basics of the game.Farm-Manager. The second difficulty level, medium. All settings are at a medium difficulty level, but you have starting capital. Ideal conditions for players who have already dealt with the Farming Simulator series.Start From Scratch. This difficulty is designed for players who enjoy real challenges. The game becomes much harder. Profits from various actions are lower, and all settings are at the most realistic difficulty. At the same time, the player starts with a large loan that must be repaid.
As mentioned above, beginners should choose the New Farmer mode – the lowest difficulty level. 

Choosing a Map


Having decided on the game difficulty, it's time to choose a map, as the map can also directly affect gameplay. Maps differ not only in appearance but also in field sizes, shapes, and overall terrain. We have already covered these maps. We suggest you familiarize yourself with them in the corresponding articles:
Erlengrat;Haut-Beyleron;Elmcreek.
Choosing a map is a personal matter, so decide where you feel most comfortable. By the way, user-created maps for Farming Simulator 22 will soon start appearing, so this list will expand significantly.

Recommended Game Settings


Now let's take a look at the general game settings to customize everything for yourself. The chosen settings depend on your preferences. Let's go through everything step by step. Load your save, go to the "Settings" section, and start configuring:
Time Scale. Your main goal is to complete as many tasks as possible during the day, and you can adjust how long one in-game day lasts. If you can't complete enough work in one day, simply increase the length of the in-game day, and you'll definitely have enough time. The next setting concerns the economy (Economic Difficulty). This setting determines how much money you earn from your actions. If set to easy, you will earn a lot of money from selling crops, production, and more. If you want to progress quickly, set it to Easy. If you prefer to work longer, earn less, and have slower progress, set it to Medium or Hard, but beginners are recommended to choose Easy.Farming Simulator 22 features AI helpers that can be controlled from a special menu. However, this might be too complicated for beginners, so you can make them almost fully autonomous. If you set AI Worker Refill to Buy, helpers will automatically purchase everything they need to work, reducing micro-management for you.Seasonal Cycles – a new gameplay feature that was only available as a mod in FS19. Now this feature is included in the game with corresponding settings. If the Seasonal growth setting is enabled, you will need to monitor a special calendar and harvest on time. This setting affects the game not only visually but also in gameplay. Beginners are recommended to disable this setting. By the way, you can adjust the length of each season (from 1 in-game day to 28 days). The shorter the season, the harder the game.Crop Destruction. It’s best to disable this setting if you haven’t played the Farming Simulator series before. If enabled, you can destroy your crops by driving over them. Yes, it’s realistic, but too difficult for beginners.Periodic Plowing adds the need to plow from time to time. A separate indicator will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen showing when it’s time to plow. Again, this might be too complicated for beginners, as there’s a lot to get used to and learn. It’s best to disable this option at first and enable it later when you have more experience.Stones can appear after cultivation or plowing. Therefore, after these procedures, you need to dig up and remove the stones. Again, this is extra work that only complicates things for beginners. It’s better to disable this option right away.The Lime and Weeds option is best left enabled. This is an important part of the gameplay, and we will have separate guides on this topic. Snow. Snow falls in winter, which significantly complicates work since you also need to clear the snow from roads. This is additional work. In Farming Simulator 22, you have the option to disable snow separately and still use seasonal cycles, or disable both together. Or you can keep the snow but disable the gameplay effects of seasonal cycles. The settings are quite extensive, but it’s best to disable all of this at first to understand the basics of the game, and only then dive deeper into the gameplay. 
That’s all!
That’s it, these were the main gameplay settings of the game. Everyone can customize the game individually, but it’s better to initially avoid additional features like snow, stones, and seasonal changes to learn the basics of the game, and only then enjoy all the possibilities of Farming Simulator 22!

We continue our guides for beginners. Today, we will take a closer look at how to navigate Farming Simulator 22 more easily, explore various menus and HUD details, and review useful menus that will become your indispensable assistant. 


HUD Elements


Perhaps we should start with an overview of the various HUD elements – the interface. Some of the listed elements will be used constantly throughout the game. 
In the upper right corner, useful information is displayed that you will use constantly, namely: the time of day, your current balance, the current time acceleration (which can be adjusted in the game settings), the month, and weather conditions. In general, all the basic information you will need.Moving to the upper left corner. Pay attention to the icons located below the control block. You can track how many tools are currently attached to your vehicle. The control block highlights certain actions that can be performed at this moment. This list changes depending on the zone you have visited. For example, when visiting a unloading zone, you will find the trailer unload button in the control block. In the lower right corner, different information is displayed depending on whether you are currently in a vehicle or on foot. If you are on foot, information about the field’s condition will be shown. For example, you can find out whether fertilizers or lime are needed, or if everything is fine. If you are in a vehicle, information about the vehicle itself will be displayed. Inside the vehicle, other useful information is available: speedometer, fuel level, vehicle condition. To the left of the speedometer, there is another indicator showing the fill level of the attached seeder, the harvested crops in the combine harvester’s tank, and so on. And, of course, the mini-map, located in the lower left corner. It contains a lot of useful information: your current location, your vehicles, various fields, shops, and more. You can mark a route, and this route will be displayed on the mini-map, allowing you to quickly reach the desired location.

Map and Menu

Now let’s look at the individual features of the map and the menu as a whole. The menu opens with the ESC/Pause key. This menu contains everything you need. 

Map. You will use the map constantly. The thing is, it shows all the important game information. You can see various fields, the condition of each, the growth stage of crops, and so on. In other words, you can track which crops are ready for harvest and which require care. Very useful information.There is another useful function on the map. Click on the vehicle icon and select the Reset option to return the vehicle to its original location.

With the Farmland View option, you can see which fields are available for purchase and how much they cost. Therefore, you don’t need to go to the field itself; you can check the price from anywhere.

The Active Workers option allows you to remotely manage your workers and helpers by assigning them various tasks. For example, you can assign them to deliver and unload a specific product, and you don’t need to be distracted from your own tasks, as everything is done through a convenient menu. Click on a vehicle or tool to create a new task. Additionally, you can choose their route yourself and make their tasks cyclical. That is, workers will continuously perform the same task – loading and delivering goods, or whatever else. Convenient and efficient!

The "Calendar" tab will help you if you play with seasonal cycles. In this tab, you can find out when to plant and harvest certain crops. 

The "Weather" tab shows the weather forecast for several days. Plan everything in advance, as you cannot harvest during rain. 

A very useful menu is "Price." As you might guess, here you can check prices for various products. This is the amount that selling points are willing to pay you for your harvest. Pay attention to price fluctuations throughout the year to understand whether it is a good time to sell your harvest or if you should wait a bit.

In the Vehicle Overview tab, all useful information about the vehicles you own is displayed. That is, this menu shows all machines and tools, hours worked on each, wear level, leasing cost, and resale value.

And the Finances tab is your indispensable assistant, as it allows you to track all your financial activities: how much you have spent, how much you have earned, whether you are in profit or loss, what exactly you paid for, and so on. Information is displayed about everything: from rent to animal care. The game also allows you to take out loans from the bank, and you can repay debts directly in the Finances tab.

In the "Animals" tab, you can simply track information about your animals and livestock. 

Contracts are an indispensable part of Farming Simulator 22. In the corresponding tab, you can see which contracts are currently available and take them on. If you don’t have the necessary tools and vehicles to complete a contract, you can click the borrow all the necessary items button and accept the contract by renting the equipment. 

FS22 features production chains, which you can track in the corresponding tab – Production Chain. 
If you like various statistics, there is good news for you as well, since in a separate menu you can track the number of hectares worked, how much time you spent plowing, how many trees you planted, and other interesting information. 

So you’ve launched Farming Simulator 22, but where to start? What should you do first? Let’s figure it out together and find out which equipment and tools you need at the very beginning of the game. 

What kind of farmer do you want to be?
Farming Simulator 22 offers different specializations, so you can decide for yourself what kind of farmer you want to become. Maybe you just want to focus on agriculture and crop growing? No problem! Or perhaps animal husbandry is more your style? The game has plenty of animals for that. No one forbids you from getting into forestry either, which is also a profitable and interesting business. 
Of course, you can combine all of these, but it’s best to choose one specialization at the start and only later, once you start making a profit, branch out into other areas. 

Agriculture 
Beginners are recommended to start the game with classic agriculture, as this is the core of the Farming Simulator series. You’ll have a lot to learn because farming is complex. There are dozens of crops that require special care. A large variety of vehicles and tools are needed to perform different tasks. You’ll face many everyday challenges that you’ll need to learn to complete quickly and efficiently, and we’ll help you with that—guides on growing various crops in FS22 will be coming soon.

Animal Husbandry
This is also a very important part of the game—animal husbandry. You have a wide range of animals. If you take care of them, feed them, and manage animal husbandry properly, you can earn a good profit. In the easiest game mode, New Farmer, you start with animals already. However, if you don’t plan to engage in animal husbandry, don’t worry—the animals won’t suffer. They will simply stop producing any goods, so it only affects your profit.

Forestry
This job is a bit more challenging but pays well. You’ll need to learn how to properly use forestry equipment. The work is quite repetitive, but if you want to earn a large profit, this is a good option.

Where to start
First, you should familiarize yourself with the equipment needed for work. Below, we list the equipment you should definitely acquire. However, if you’re playing in the easiest mode—New Farmer—you will already have everything you need at the start, namely:
John Deere 7810 tractor;RABE MR 250 cultivator;NORDSTEN NS 3030 seeder;Einböck Aerostar-Exact 600 for weed control;BREDAL K105 fertilizer spreader;DEUTZ-FAHR Topliner 4090 HTS combine harvester + tool for it - 4090;WELGER DK 115 trailer.
If you’re playing on more difficult modes and don’t have all the necessary equipment, here’s a list of categories you will definitely need:
You absolutely need a tractor. Each tool has its own power requirements. Therefore, the more powerful the tractor, the more tools it can use, making work easier and faster.A good cultivator. It’s the cultivator that prepares the soil for sowing.You can’t do without a seeder. Don’t forget to buy seeds to fill the seeder. Of course, weeds need to be removed, so you’ll need equipment like the Einböck Aerostar-Exact 600 for that.Don’t forget to get a fertilizer spreader.A harvester – a combine. Buy a good combine + header to harvest crops. It’s recommended to get a grain header at the start to collect more yield.You also can’t do without a trailer, since you need something to transport the harvested crops. As your farm develops, you’ll need larger trailers. 

Contracts 
Contracts will make the game much easier because you’ll always clearly know what you need to do, which crops to deliver, and which equipment is suitable. Contracts change over time, so if you don’t see anything suitable, don’t worry—just wait for the list to update. Another notable aspect of contracts is that even if you don’t have the right equipment, you can easily rent everything. If you decide to rent equipment from the employer, you’ll pay a small commission, but it will cost you much less than buying new equipment. If rented, all the equipment will appear in front of the store. 
That’s it, now you know where to start playing Farming Simulator 22!

In this guide, we will explore how to make purchases in Farming Simulator 22 and how to sell old equipment that is no longer used. We will look at the in-game store and dealers available in FS22.



Store Menu

The store menu has quite a few tabs, and it may seem complicated to a newcomer. However, it’s actually quite simple. Let’s figure out what’s what. 

The first thing to pay attention to is the Brands tab. If your goal is to use equipment from only one brand, you have that option, and the store has a convenient feature for this.

In the Vehicles tab, you can select different categories. If you are looking for a light tractor, you can filter to show only light ones; if a medium tractor, only medium, and so on. Just select the appropriate category, and only the vehicles you need will appear automatically. 

There is a separate Tools tab, where tools that work in conjunction with your vehicles are displayed separately: cultivators, mowers, seeders. Naturally, you can select all these categories separately and view cultivators, mowers, and other tools individually.


Moving on to the Objects section, which displays important items: pallets, bales, large bags (big bags), animal feed, various fertilizers, and more. Note that this category includes the so-called Seed Bigbag – a bag containing seeds of all types of crops you want to plant. Additionally, there are large bags containing wheat and oats. These bags are ideal as animal feed.

A very interesting tab is the Used Vehicles Sale. This category is constantly updated. New offers are added, old ones removed. If you want to save money and buy used equipment, Farming Simulator 22 offers this option. However, this equipment may have some drawbacks both technically and visually (https://stmods.ru/farming_simu...).

If you want to see all the tools and equipment you have already purchased, there is a separate category called Owned Items. From this tab, you can sell equipment. Simply click on the desired equipment and show its current location on the map.

FS22 also allows you to rent equipment. But you have to pay for the rental. You can keep track of all rented equipment in the Leased Items section. From this menu, you can return all rented equipment and stop paying for it.

You can also purchase equipment or item packs directly in the Packs tab. Packs contain various items and equipment you will need for a specific type of work. If you need everything for sowing, it’s much easier and more cost-effective to buy the corresponding pack rather than purchasing everything separately. Moreover, if you already own a tractor or cultivator included in the pack, you can skip buying those, and the pack will cost less.

Buying Equipment

Now let’s look at an example. Say you want to buy a tractor and a cultivator. Let’s do it!

Go to the Medium Tractors section and select the tractor you want. In our case, it will be the John Deere 7810, as it is a powerful tractor of good quality and power, suitable for most farm tasks.Check the information on the left, where the tractor’s power is displayed. All important information about the vehicle or tool is shown on the left, and you need to make sure the tractor and tool you buy are compatible (the tractor has enough power to use the tool). Now you can choose configurations. Want to swap the wheels for branded ones? No problem, but the price may differ, and you’ll have to pay a bit more for higher-quality wheels. Note that some brands offer narrow wheel options, which are very useful if you have crop destruction settings enabled. You don’t need to buy all available upgrades at once. You can always return to the store later and upgrade your vehicle.That’s it, just click the Buy button and confirm your purchase. Congratulations on your purchase! If you want to rent the vehicle instead, you can do that in the same menu.

Now buy the tool. Let’s buy the RABE EG cultivator. Go to the Tools section and select the corresponding cultivator. Check the information on the left and see that this tool requires at least 90 horsepower (hp). The John Deere 7810 we bought has just enough power for this. So, buy it without hesitation. Click the Buy button. Done, you just bought your first cultivator!

Visiting the Dealership


All purchased equipment appears in front of the local store. You can quickly teleport to the store using the standard map. If you prefer not to teleport, you can drive there yourself—just place a marker on the map, and the route will be shown on your mini-map.
When you arrive, you will see your purchased equipment. Also, you will notice two glowing signs. The first sign is for entering the store, the second is for the dealer. There, you can view the specs of your purchased equipment, repair it, and even change its color if that option is available. 

Done! Now you know how to buy equipment in Farming Simulator 22!
