Production Chains in Farming Simulator 2022

It's time to delve a little deeper into the topic of production. Many already know that in the game, crops can be processed into more expensive and useful products. For example, grape juice can be made from grapes, olive oil from olives, and so on. If you haven't watched FarmCon – we highly recommend watching the video demonstration where they showcase production chains. 

Starting Production

Let's take a regular mill as an example. In Farming Simulator 22, it's not just a place where you can sell wheat. Now it’s a full-fledged production point where you can deliver wheat and receive flour. Grain mills can be located on maps by default, or you can place them yourself.

Fortunately, this small-scale processing doesn’t end there. You can use the flour further. The most obvious example is simply taking the flour to a bakery, where they will make bread or some tasty treats from it. So, from ordinary wheat, we get a final product – say, bread – which we can sell for maximum profit. Agree, this is much more enjoyable and interesting than just selling wheat.

Most crops have several options for further production, which adds variety to the game. You can decide who to deliver your products to and at what stage to sell them. For example, if you get raisins from grapes, you can either sell the raisins directly or start producing raisin flakes. All production chains will be available in the game as recipes. This is done for ease of use.

Let’s Bake a Cake!

It sounds simple in theory, but you’ll have to work hard and gather a number of ingredients to start production. Take a basic cake as an example – just having flour won’t be enough. You’ll need to obtain eggs, flour, sugar, milk, butter, and strawberries, and deliver all of these to the right place to make a standard cake. 

Of course, you’ll either have to source all these ingredients somewhere or produce them yourself. For example, you can build a butter churn and get butter from milk – this way you get two cake ingredients at once: milk and butter, which is definitely worth it. Don’t worry, you’ll quickly get used to managing several productions at once. 

Selling, Production, and Storage

Of course, no one forbids you from taking the classic route and just selling your entire harvest. However, there are advantages here too. You can choose who to sell your goods to. Maybe you want to sell something directly to a supermarket? You have that option. Or maybe it’s better to sell to other factories so they can produce other products? That’s a good option too – the choice is yours!

Remember, if you decide to start your own production, you’ll need plenty of storage space for ingredients, so don’t forget to build warehouses. And if you feel you can’t handle it alone – you can always start a multiplayer game and invite your friends to help!
