Slow crop growth

[gamereggo]

For some reason, growing field crops normally takes 8-9 days. It is so annoying that you just have to sit around for like 1 hour. Please fix this issue.

I had this issue. I ended up taking out loans to get a house. I do not enjoy contracts.

I am probably in the minority, but I don't play this game to actually do the 'work'. I enjoy it being a 'Farm manager' simulator. I love planning crops, prices, building things, buying land, buying equipment, etc. The layer above the actual work.

Yeah that's exactly what we want

Not sure what you mean by this because you can already turn Seasons off in the settings.

And it isn't an 'issue' that needs to be fixed.

you can always play fs 19 if you don`t like it. Maybe read some before you buy next time...lol

Season does need fixed I dont care about realism in the game I play it to relax and have fun. I make up my own seasons and I cannot stop fs22 from going throught the seasons and speeding up the crops. It is a video game NOT real life. Giants 3yrs and crap on the fans of the game. Graphics are great but has not pushed the game that far. IF you step back and open your eyes they giants are like ea sports and ea sport never give the fans a true improvement.

To be honest, when devs telly that Season could be switched off they should have said that you can turn off only the season calendar, not the mechanic behind, since the growth rate it's fixed per month, Seasons or none, and it's a very bad move from them.
Why i can't disable completely and have an optional growth rate cycle like in Fs19?
Why i'm forced to use it?
I can disable the calendar and plant/collect whenever i want, i can fix to july so visually it's always summer, still i have to wait from 6 to 10 months for crops to grow, making the "Season off" option completely uselles and purely esthetic.

"You can fast forward", it's not the solution nore the point, i'm playing Farming Simulator, not Sleeping/Skipping Days Simulator.
Of course on the long run more days are welcome, but before you can really estabilish your farm, the majority of your time it's spent skipping days doing nothing for hours, not really my idea of "fun".

I tried Season in Fs19 and couldn't like it for the same reason, too dead moments, but at least was an optional mod, now it's a core mechanics that can't be deactivated or tweaked.

Like forcing people to use a wheel for driving instead of a controller or the keyboard because "realism".

Hidden items around the map will give you cash. Try to get a few different crops going if you can. If not, contract work is running pretty smoothly now.

I feel y'all on how it used to be, and did enjoy it, but this can be a lot of fun too :) Good luck out there!

If you're playing in single, in multiplayer it's not always possible, nore speeding time, that's the major issue alredy pointed out mulitple times.
The game badly need a crop growth speed option as in Fs19 when Season it's off.

You can use the house to sleep thru the whole growth season in just a minute or so.

Again, if you start from scratch, the house it's too expensive and you're forced to fast forward at a slow pace.
Yes there are mods, but shouldn't be a solution for an option that should have been in the game from the start.

It sounds to me like you should have waited to buy the sim and did some research. Learn from this. Sim`s are to be as real as they can make them. Plants don`t grow over night. This sim is about what real farmers have to deal with on the daily. side jobs are a real thing. they gave you ways to make money, contracts, green houses, animals etc. It takes time to build up to the big farm and big money, That`s the point of the sim and if you don`t like it then why did you buy it. once again next time do your research.

Please, can you stop licking dev's asses for a moment?
When they say that a mechanich can be deactivated to fit player's favorite style, i'm expecting to completely disable it, like if i don't want to lime fields or remove stones i can deactivate them
If devs say that Season can be deactivated, i then expect the game to act as always did in more than 10 years so far, instead it didn't really disable and you are forced to play with an option that didn't really disable itself.
Like, if you disable weed and they still grow.
I and many others players simply want the chance to play the game as always been ALONG the chance to play with Season, not be forced to use it.
At least let's decide when starting instead of August where there's nothing to do until march.
It's not fun when i spend most of the time skipping time with a super slow sleep animation.
Yeah there's mod to speed time, but it's not the solution, the game should let player play, not bore them to death while they go broke ingame.

No Man's Land in this version it's even more boring, and i love that map.

All you people Crying that this game is Not like FS19 should go PLAY FS19 and be Happy.

How about try to understand that we are saying that we sould like to have AN OPTION to have a crop growth as in all the rpevious games, so who want to play with Season can and whoever don't, can aswell?
What's the problem in have an option?
We are not asking to revert the whole game and remove Season for everyone, like you're all trying to do whit all of us that aren't interested in it.
Why can't you simply accept the fact that we want more options for everyone?

[Wizard]

You can already get the sleep anywhere mod, and well, sleep anywhere. Or you can get the mod that lets you set speed to 25000x.

I don't really see the need to have and balance another vanilla grow system when the current one can so easily be manipulated.
