Hi everyone!
This is a difficult topic for me to make because, most likely, it will be in vain and Giants probably won’t listen to our wishes. So take this more as my expectations for the next game.
In my opinion, Giants needs to start implementing some of the amazing ideas modders already created. This year’s Season Pass was disappointing to me, especially the Vredo Pack and the fact we’re getting one DLC less than last season.
First of all, the game desperately needs better optimization. Look at games like *Crimson Desert* — they run well on medium hardware and still look amazing. Farming Simulator on medium settings often looks like FS19 or worse. Giants should not rely entirely on modders to fix performance.
Second, physics need a complete overhaul:
* Better terrain deformation
* Improved vehicle and water physics
* Real mud mechanics like the *Mud System* mod
I want tractors to struggle in wet ground, tires slipping and losing traction realistically instead of feeling glued to the terrain.
Vehicle interaction also needs improvement. Features similar to:
* *Interactive Control*
* *Cab Cinematics*
* Rust masks
* Realistic damage systems like *Advanced Damage System*
should be part of the base game.
I also love having many crops, so engine limitations need fixing:
* 128 fruit type limit
* Height type limits
* Distance texture limits
What matters is realism:
* More growth stages
* Better crop density
* Improved field rows
* Realistic orchards instead of the current olive system
* Moisture system
New crop mechanics for lavender, peanuts, and similar crops would also be great.
Animals need the biggest overhaul. Not just visually, but mechanically too. Animals should be interactive:
* Brush them
* Carry smaller animals like lambs
* Make them react to tractors
* Improve collisions so they are not just “boxes”
Features inspired by *Realistic Livestock* would completely change the game for me.
Interactive animal gameplay is a must:
* Manual or machine milking
* Shearing sheep
* Washing cows with a hose
* Picking eggs manually
Manure should physically spawn inside barns, including for sheep and goats.
New animals I’d love to see:
* Geese
* Ducks
* Quails
* Alpacas
* Turkeys
* Donkeys
* Ponies
* Rabbits
Farmer Andy and the LSFM team already proved many of these ideas are possible.
At this point, realism matter more to me than simply adding more machines. I have many thoughts but is a limit
If nothing improves, I will not buy the new game
