Thank you to “Boddi” at “YesMods” for compiling the initial list that Malcharek commented on readers please note that the list on “YesMods” was indicated to be mostly – but not entirely – correct. It could also open up many other possibilities, such as the ability for players to compete with each other on the same map, creating separate farms and seeing who can expand faster or make more money.Īuthor’s note: All features mentioned below have been confirmed by GIANTS’ Community Manager, Lars Malcharek, as being correct. This feature will offer players a level of customization never seen in a Farming Simulator game before. It seems that GIANTS has taken this feedback seriously, and has now given players the ability to customize their farms, and even play “together but separately” in multiplayer.
Many players have complained in the past about a lack of options in managing money in multiplayer games, as well as a lack of realism in setting up their own farm buildings. The ability to build a farm how the player desires is a big leap for the series, bringing it yet another step closer to realism. Many players believed that something of this nature was hinted at in Farming Simulator 19‘s E3 trailer, where the camera lingered on a “For Sale” in the foreground for a brief moment, with this reveal confirming those suspicions.
However, Malcharek (who goes by “Lisertan” on GIANTS’ forums and Discord server) confirmed the feature himself to those not in attendance. The feature was revealed during the Farming Simulator 19 demo at FarmCon, but only those in attendance have seen it in action so far. Farming Simulator 19’s E3 trailer hinted at the ability to buy multiple farms, a feature that has now been confirmed.
Update (July 16): GIANTS is testing the possibility of expanding the number of possible “teams” of players up to 8.
Players will also be able to upgrade buildings such as stables if they feel they need more space. In multiplayer games, you can now have up to 4 farms with 4 players (or teams of players) using their own vehicles and having their own bank accounts. On Saturday, July 14, the feature was revealed: Players can now build their own farm, including buying land upon which to build. And he was true to his word. After having been teased that one of the features which would be shown would include Malcharek’s “favourite feature” that has been added to Farming Simulator 19, fans waited with bated breath. In the leadup to FarmCon, GIANTS’ Community Manager Lars Malcharek made it clear on several social media platforms that at least one new feature in the game would be revealed during the FarmCon demo. But the most highly anticipated item on the docket, by both attendees and those who were waiting at home for news, was a 45 minute time slot dedicated to a game demo of Farming Simulator 19.
The schedule includes a variety of presentations, covering topics such as sound design, community management, and workshops on creating “mods”. This year, the event is being held on July 14 and 15 at the Horsch facilities in Schwandorf, Germany.
