Horsch Pack DLC coming soon

July 8, 2023

When it rains it pours. Which is probably a bad manner of speech when talking about a farming game. But it is true in the way that after the quite recently released Hay & Forage DLC, it is already time for the next one. The Horsch AgroVation Pack DLC is just around the corner as it will be released on July 25.

The Horsch AgroVation Pack will extend the game with a new map and 14 machines by the renowned German manufacturer.

The map in question is a little special in that it is a copy of Horsch’s own real life AgroVation farm located in Kněžmost, Czech Republic. The faithfully recreated farm layout and environment offers a variation of both small and large fields and various storage buildings. As such it provides excellent surroundings for the fleet of brand-new HORSCH machines that debut in the game.

In total the pack delivers 14 new Horsch machines of different sizes:

  • Avatar 12.25 SD (Seeder)
  • Cultro 9 TC (Mulcher)
  • Cultro 12 TC (Mulcher)
  • Cura 24 ST (Weeder)
  • Finer 6 SL (Shallow Cultivator)
  • Joker 8 RT (Disc Harrow)
  • Maestro 9.75 RX (Planter)
  • Maestro 24.50 SV (Planter)
  • Partner 1600 FT (Additional Tank)
  • Pronto 3 DC (Seeder)
  • Pronto 6 DC (Seeder)
  • Taro 6 SL (Seeder)
  • Tiger 8 MT (Cultivator)
  • Transformer 12 VF (Hoe)

The Horsch AgriVation Pack DLC can be pre-ordered now (with a 10% rebate). Those who already have purchased the Year 2 Season Pass will get it as a part of that on the release day.

FS22 Premium Edition

July 1, 2023

Giants Software has a big expansion in the plans for Farming Simulator 22. Come November it is time for the Premium Edition of the game to be released – or the equivalent Premium Expansion if you already own the base game.

The Premium version will deliver – among other things – three new crops, a new map named Zielonka with a central-to-eastern European feel, and a slew of new production chains, new brands and new machinery both for the caring for the new crops and more variety in general for the already existing ones.

The new crops will be carrots, red beets and parsnips, so in other words it is time for root crops to get a bit of a renaissance on the virtual fields.

The Premium Edition will contain all the DLCs published up until November, with the exception of the small, one-machine standalone DLCs released.

There will also be a Premium Expansion DLC which will only include the new Premium stuff.

Both the Premium Edition and the Premium Expansion can already be pre-ordered from Giants or Steam. The release day is set to November 14, 2023.

Valheim devs talk modding

June 3, 2023

Iron Gate, the makers of Valheim, recently made a post talking about mods and the modding community. The main point being to address the issue with the selling of mods. Something that Iron Gate – like most game developers – aren’t a fan of.

To quote their post on the matter:

“The thing that we’ve been getting the most questions about, however, is the phenomenon where mods cost money. We definitely understand that you spend a lot of your time on creating a mod, and that you might want financial compensation for that, but Iron Gate does not condone locking modded content behind a paywall.

We feel that charging money for a mod is against the creative and open spirit of modding itself, and therefore we urge all mod authors to make their mods freely available to all who want to play them. This should include the whole mod, and not just have part of the mod available for free while another part of it costs money. If you want to show your appreciation for a mod author you can of course still support them with a voluntary donation, but we do not want payment to be a requirement to access a mod.”

While they stop short of saying that they will take action against modders who sell mods, it is quite clear that it is a disliked practice.

FS22 Hay & Forage Pack is next DLC

June 1, 2023

Giants Software’s next DLC for Farming Simulator 22 is to be the Hay & Forage Pack and will offer a number of new tools for grass work.

This time the DLC will be mostly geared toward European farming style it seems, with one new German brand – mowing specialist Brielmaier – and two Austrian manufacturers – REFORM and Reiter – as new brands for the game. In addition there will be new equipment from already existing in-game brands Krone, Pöttinger, Rigitrac, and Sepp Knüsel. It also sounds like there will be some extra focus on mowing and handling grass in more difficult terrain.

In total the DLC will include 17 brand-new specialized vehicles and tools:

  • Brielmaier – Motor Mower S250
  • KRONE – EasyCut F 320 Highland
  • KRONE – Swadro S 350 Highland
  • KRONE – Vendro 820 Highland
  • PÖTTINGER – JUMBO 8450 DB
  • PÖTTINGER – TOP 1403 C
  • REFORM – MOUNTY 110V
  • REFORM – MULI T8X
  • REFORM – Metrac
  • REFORM – PrimAlpin
  • REFORM – Tipper Unit
  • Reiter – R3 compact 700
  • Reiter – R7 rd
  • Reiter – R9 profi
  • Rigitrac – SKH 60
  • Sepp Knüsel – Tornado
  • Sepp Knüsel – Tornado Plus

The DLC will be released June 13 for PC and consoles but is already available for preorder.
