More valuable crops take extra work and extra machines in order to maximize your profits, so you need to decide whether you’re willing to make the investment or stick to simple but low-value crops.

Livestock, more or bigger fields, and faster machines are all available, so you’ll have to think about what best suits your particular play style. It could take hundreds of hours of work to afford everything, but you have complete freedom in how you accomplish your goal and what your priorities are. As you increase the number of fields you own, it can take more than a dozen tractors and tools to coordinate all the work and minimize downtime. There are dozens of licensed vehicles, forty plots of land (of which you only start with one), and additional buildings such as solar collectors and greenhouses that you can sink your money into. Cross-platform multiplayer and a large variety of free community-created modifications, officially tested by GIANTS Software, extend the farming experience many times over.Still, you should harvest as much as you can because of the sheer number of investments you can make into your business. Whether they create a lush vineyard or an olive orchard in the Mediterranean south of France, a vast farmland full of wheat and corn in the US-Midwest or a lively animal farm in the hilly landscape of the Alps: More than 400 machines and tools from over 100 real agricultural brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Deutz-Fahr, Fendt, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra and many more are available. A multitude of new gameplay features, like new ground working mechanics as well as a character creator for individual farmers, offer more content and player freedom than ever before. Players creatively build their own farm and extend their operations with production chains - forming an agricultural empire! They focus on agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry while facing new challenges like the four seasons.
