Breeding and having a healthy livestock is essential for maintaining a high quality farm and should be considered just as important as crops. There are other aspects as well that you had to focus on and one of them are the animals. This is the circle of life when it comes to Farming Simulator 2013 and boy does it sound boring. ![]() Think of this as a way to quickly get to replanting without having to plow again. After all of this, it is time to cultivate the soil. It's with this cash that you can enter auctions to buy more plots of land, buy new equipment and tractors, and hire help and more. Once this is all completed it's time to drive to market and sell your goods from your farm for cash. When you harvest some crops though, you will be left with leftover straw which you can then collect into either square or round barrels of hay which you can either sell or feed to your animals. ![]() Here, your crops are now ready to be collected which mandates that you hook a harvester of sorts up to your tractor and tend to the field until your storage is full then drive somewhere to dump your load, and go back to the field and repeat until all is harvested. After that, it's time to drive to the field and plant the seeds, but you're far from finished because next is irrigation.Ĭrops need water to grow before harvest and after watering and waiting comes the next step, harvesting. First you have to drive it to the seed palates and then you have to load it up. After the plowing you have to plant some crops which will require you to hook a seed spreader up to the tractor. You can't just start out planting crops, first the ground must be plowed which requires you to hook up your tractor to the plow and take to the plot of land. Think of this game as a light version of what it would be like to farm in real life. There are also plenty of different types of farming equipment that you have to familiarize yourself with in order to develop a fully functioning farm. The car underneath me was perfectly fine and I apparently was unaware that what could be considered a Toyota or Honda could withstand the force of a head on collision with something over triple its weight and made of pure steel. I tried to unhitch my equipment, hoping that would allow me to break free and nothing happened. When I say collided I mean that my tractor ended up climbing up on top of the car, losing traction and getting stuck. I drove a massive tractor down the street hauling a trailer full of crops when a little car pulled out in front of me and we collided. ![]() Speaking of fun, the physics of this game are truly mind boggling. Instead though of just trying to balance out the throttle which is ridiculously hard to do, you can set your tractor in different cruise control modes which will have you whipping around your field at a mind boggling 9mph when you go to cruise control 1 but if you take it to 2, then you really start going wild at 10-12mph max, oh what fun. Then there's the actual control where you use the RS to look around and the LS to move your tractor left or right. The LB will quickly become your best friend as there are many other functions that are unlocked depending on what piece of equipment you are using. The controls may seem complicated at first, but the basic outline (gas on RT and brake on LT) are there. This isn't your daddy's Farmville.įor starters, Farming Simulator 2013 puts you behind the wheel of some of the biggest names in the farming industry, including the iconic tractor company, Lamborghini. ![]() While some simulators attempt to put their own spin on how they should be presented, I do have to hand it to Giants Software because they tried their best to fully engross you into the real world of farming. My family originally grew up as farmers so we have a personal tie to all the long hours, hard work, and environmental conditions that plague every farmer on this planet. Giants Software has attempted to deliver one of the world’s best (and only one on consoles) farming simulations available, and one thing is for sure, according to this game, farming is insanely boring, tedious, mundane, and repetitive. Farming Simulator 2013! Yes you read that right, farming has taken front stage as the new kid in the simulator world and tries to, well I don't really know actually. You have your flight sims, and you have your racing sims, but now I want to welcome you to. Welcome ladies and gentlemen to a new innovation in simulation gaming.
