All About Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Farming Simulator 22

Farming is quite challenging, and handling it alone can be difficult. But who said you have to do it all by yourself? Farming Simulator 22 will feature automatic helpers, which you will learn more about in this article. Yes, it’s much more fun to play with friends and share the work evenly, but if you play solo – AI helpers are simply essential so you don’t have to do everything on your own. 

Hire workers who will take care of some of the farming tasks for you. Managing all your hired workers is very simple – there is a special menu from which you can control all your workers: assign them tasks, check their employment status, and more. There are many interactions with workers, and over time, with some probability, more features will become available.

How does it work?

The system is quite interesting. Through the worker management menu, you can assign them several tasks at once:

• You can send them anywhere: either to already marked locations on the map, or you can place a marker yourself and send the worker there (the goal is to move some vehicle or tool to the place you need). 
• If you want the worker to do part of the job for you (for example, cultivating) – no problem. Just tell them and that’s it.
• If the harvest is already collected, there’s no need to deliver it yourself to the unloading station anymore. You can ask a helper to do this for you, leaving you more time for more important work.
• There’s nothing stopping you from asking a helper to first load goods from some station themselves, and only then deliver all that goods to the unloading point (Load And Deliver function). 

By the way, if you want workers to focus on a specific task constantly, without your supervision – you can select the corresponding job for them, and they will happily work until all tasks are completed (cyclically). For example, as long as there is wheat – they will deliver it to the bakery, and once the wheat runs out – they will wait for your orders.

Work on AI helpers will continue

This is a very important gameplay aspect of the game, and the developers will continue working on improving the artificial intelligence. GIANTS Software aims to ensure that helpers work correctly not only with the base version of the game but also with most upcoming mods. Therefore, work on this system will continue in the future. Let’s see how they manage it.
