Posts tagged as “DLC”
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.
The Göweil Pack DLC for Farming Simulator 22 has dropped and as usual we now have a review of it here.
The first DLC pack for Farming Simulation 22 in 2023 has been revealed. It is going to be a collection of equipment focused on baling, with nine new tools from the Austrian Göweil brand.
It will not only be a bunch of new equipment, but also new possibilities when it comes to gathering stuff into bales. With the new machines corn silage, sugar beet pulp, mixed feed, and more can be baled and wrapped. It will also be possible to choose between net-binding and foil-wrapping when it comes to some of the resources.
As for the equipment there will be an assortment of both moveable and stationary machinery for baling and wrapping. In addition there will be new bale forks and grippers as well as a bale turner which supposedly will help in reducing the number of times you’ll have to chase after round bales going downhill.
The Göweil Pack will be released March 21 but can already be pre-ordered. The pack is included in the Year 2 Season Pass so those who have that will get it automatically on the release date.
SCS Software has now publicly announced both of their ongoing map projects for American Truck Simulator.
Already earlier they had announced that now when the big Texas map DLC has been successfully launched, it is time for neighbouring Oklahoma. And maybe not all that surprising the state coming thereafter will be Kansas.
Just like for the first year of the game’s existence, Farming Simulator 22 will have a Year 2 Season Pass which will grant the season pass owners automatic access to all DLCs released during 2023.
As of now, that means five planned DLC releases plus a small bonus in the shape of an oldtimer Volvo articulated loader, the BM-Volvo LM 845. Without specifying any dates at this point, the roadmap is for one DLC pack in early 2023, two during the summer-early autumn, and one plus the traditional yearly bigger expansion pack in late 2023.
Giants Software also states that they plan to develop and refine the current iteration of the game quite a bit further before the eventual release of a successor game.
The Year 2 Season Pass is available for purchase now and the DLCs included will be accessible on their respective release days during 2023.
[Edit Nov. 25: There is now a more in-depth review page available.]
It has been a year since Farming Simulator 22 premiered and following Giants Software’s traditional release pattern it is now time for the Platinum expansion to arrive. The exact date is set to November 15 and as usual it will arrive both as the complete Farming Simulator 22 Platinum Edition for new users and as an expansion DLC for us who already have the base game.
The Platinum expansion this time has a main focus on forestry and comes with new things to do in-game as well as with new things to use for doing it. It also comes with a new map – Silverrun Forest – which of course will be ideal for testing out the new machinery and methods.
Since it is about forestry the handling of trees have got an overhaul with new tree species, new planting and harvesting methods, and new ways to transport the timber from the forest with the help of winches, loaders and containers.
One of the new things in FS22 – production chains – is developed further by adding new ones (I have counted to eight new factories) and the brand new construction projects. By growing and selling your trees you can help in the construction of big projects such as a rollercoaster (and yes, you will apparently be able to ride it when complete), or making sailing boats at the local wharf.
There will naturally also be new brands showing up in the game. The most well-known probably being Volvo. The Platinum Expansion provides no less than twelve machines from the Swedish brand – from the oldtimer Volvo BM 2654 tractor to the state-of-the-art Volvo FH16 truck and a Volvo L200H wheel loader. There will also be new content from such brands as John Deere, Schwarzmüller, and Komatsu – just to mention a few. A more complete list is to be found at Giants own site.
The Platinum Expansion and Platinum Edition (base game + expansion) will release on November 15th for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Creative Mesh – the former modders turned official third-party DLC-makers for Farming Simulator – are the makers of the new Pumps n’ Hoses DLC for Farming Simulator 22.
This DLC is focused on the use of liquid fertilizers in the farming and biggest new thing is the possibility to use umbilical hoses. That is hose systems that attach to tractor equipment and the feeds slurry into the spreader while the tractor is running.
In comparison with earlier DLCs, this is numerically the largest yet. With 16 pieces of equipment and on top of that also a number of new placeables, most being used for fertilizer and biogas production.
As usual, you can read more about it on its review page.
Giants Software has released their latest DLC for Farming Simulator 22 – the Vermeer Pack. This pack adds five pieces of machinery from the American manufacturer Vermeer who specializes in equipment for grassland management.
If you want to read more about it, we now have a brief review of the pack available.
As is usual before the launch of a new DLC map (and sometimes in between such occurences too), American Truck Simulator has got an update to version 1.45. And to illustrate the “and sometimes in between” statement I just made, the similar 1.45 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now also out.
For both games the news are ownable tank trailers, rain sensors that automatically may turn your windshield wipers on and adjust their speed as the sensors registers rain, some changes in how mods are handled in multiplayer convoy sessions, a setting that allow for hiding the out of bounds X’es on the roads
For American Truck Simulator the US-14 road and the accompanying town of Cody, Wyoming, have been added for those of you who own the Wyoming map DLC. There has also been a rebranding of many gas stations and truck stops all over the map – although probably most noticable in the “older” states – since SCS now have become much more skilled in how to make very neat such stuff.
For Euro Truck Simulator 2 there’s been an update of the German city of Hannover, which has also got a newfangled thing called custom introduction to the city. This has also been made for the Austrian cities. In addition the first phase of the implementation of functional JOST fifth wheels on trucks is included in this update.
You can read more about the 1.45 updates on SCS Software’s own blog. The one for American Truck Simulator is to be found here, and the Euro Truck Simulator 2 one is here.
