The Realistic Farming System adds numerous features designed to make Farming Simulator 22 more realistic, dynamic, and challenging.
CLIMATE
- More realistic seasonal and daily temperatures.
- Dynamic air humidity.
- Management of dew, rain, and drying times following precipitation.
- Seasonal lighting cycle based on France, with sunrise, sunset, and transitions adapted to the seasons.
- Direct impact of weather conditions on harvest conditions and crop moisture.
HARVEST AND QUALITY
- Dynamic crop moisture levels at harvest time.
- Progressive sample analysis within the harvester.
- Visual ground sample providing an estimate of grain or seed condition.
- Quality metrics specific to each harvested batch.
- Crop-specific criteria: specific weight, protein, oil content, impurities, sizing, broken grains, etc.
- Specific criteria for sugar beets: sugar content, soil/tare, and damaged beets.
- Specific criteria for potatoes: dry matter, cleanliness, and waste.
- Impact of harvesting conditions and speed on certain quality metrics.
- Randomized yet persistent "ready-to-harvest" scheduling for each physical field, including support for merged fields.
- Maturity system extending beyond the "ready-to-harvest" stage for supported grain crops.
- Maturity temporarily affects moisture, specific weight, protein, oil, impurities, sizing, and yield, depending on the crop.
- Crops harvested too early may show degraded quality values and genuinely lower yields.
- Maturity-related penalties gradually decrease until they disappear completely once optimal maturity is reached.
- Harvester HUD displaying maturity, associated adjustments, and actual yield after losses.
- Permanent counter for actual hectares harvested per machine, visible even when not harvesting. STORAGE AND TRANSFERS
- Preservation of each batch's characteristics within machines, trailers, and silos.
- Actual values recorded at harvest—including those affected by maturity—track the batch throughout the entire pipeline.
- Automatic weighted blending when multiple batches are mixed.
- Drying and quality changes during storage.
- Ground pile management.
- Quality preservation during reclaiming with buckets and loaders.
- End-to-end transfers: machine → tipper → silo → tipper → pile → loader.
- Value saving and restoration after reloading the game session.
SALES
- Final price influenced by the batch's actual quality.
- Automatic application of penalties and bonuses.
- Values degraded by premature harvesting are retained until sale, without additional "maturity" sales penalties.
- Sales HUD displaying characteristics and applied adjustments.
SOIL
- Dynamic deep soil moisture.
- Soil conditions: Very Dry, Dry, Fresh, Moist, Very Moist.
- Changes based on rainfall, climate, and drying.
- Soil condition diagnostics.
OTHER SYSTEMS
- Straw moisture.
- Dynamic harvesting performance.
- Harvest dust adapted to conditions.
- Moisture-adjusted maximum harvesting speeds for various crops.
- Rare risk of header clogging when operating outside recommended conditions.
- Contextual HUDs for machines, silos, piles, and analysis.
- Automatic worker headlights adapted to the seasonal light cycle.
CURRENTLY SUPPORTED CROPS
Wheat, Barley, Canola, Oats, Grain Maize, Soybeans, Sorghum, Sunflowers, Sugar Beets, and Potatoes.
TIPS
- Avoid excessive time acceleration: x360 maximum recommended. Note: Some values may experience a slight delay in updating.
INCOMPATIBLE MODS / SCRIPTS
- CombineXP
- Dustylands Extension
- Precision Farming
Realistic Farming System already includes its own distinct mechanics. Using these mods alongside it may cause conflicts, inconsistent behavior, or bugs.
Not currently compatible with multiplayer (support coming soon).
