Whats the point of SNOW plowing

[ItsGillan]

Seems liketheres no money to be made with the snow clearing. Had a previous post but worded wrong

[tinyalloy]

there is no money in clearing snow if you had a farm do you think someone would pay you to clear off your barnlot or driveway?

[m61a1]

I could pay myself! Oh wait lol

I worked on farms and you know what happened? people paid us to come clear off their driveways, parking lots, loading areas, construction sites and so on.

You can turn off snow in the settings menu if you find it to be a pain.

Its not a pain i was just expecting there to be more reason to actually get into the snow clearing

[Doppy]

i guess its in there because a lot of people find it fun to do. Would have been nice if there were contracts for it.

Gives you something to do in winter? :D

I mean we got a lawn mowing simulator on steam that tons of people played and loved.... They probably have snow plowing in there for those people that just like the mindless aspect of plowing snow in a video game with a big machine.

Missed opportunity to not have contracts available to plow lots. I remember the older FS games there were contracts to mow baseball fields and the likes. Lawn Mowing simulator is the game so thats the reason it gives you to mow grass, with the other things you can do in this game there should be a reason to snow plow. thats my opinion and i believe there wont be many people doing any winter snow clearing

I'm sure there will be contracts for it eventually even if it only comes in mods. The functionality of plowing snow is there so that opens the door.

the point is to role play or clear snow in your area. to be able to actually see the plow animation from the blade only works if you own the land your plowing

Thats not true at all, I drove around and cleared the grocery store parking lot which was the biggest but did others, back roads and trails covered in snow, around the railroad. The snow is plowable in other areas. You can Roleplay as well while also giving the majority of people who dont roleplay a reason to actually use the snowplow. How does a contract from the grocery store to clear their parking lot take away from roleplaying? Again this is a farming simulator, one of the main ways for farmers to make money during the winter season is to plow driveways and parking lots.

in regards to the Roleplaying element at one point my mother (who sadly has passed away almost 10 years ago now...) was snowed in at home and this kind farmer came over on his tractor and cleared enough snow from the front walk/door so she could walk to the car and he did it for free as well

[Duke Dudeston]

Its a role play element. I mean get EDT or some other method that allows you to add in some money, and role play that you have been asked by Farmer Jiles over on plot 27 to clear the snow on his land, and he will pay you x amount to do so. Once you completed the job, just add x amount into your bank account.

Its quite easy to do things like that in this game, and you might find yourself enjoying the game a bit more if you have a "reason" to do these things.

Its called playing a game, otherwise all you are doing is virtual chores. And you aren't getting paid in real life to do these things so why bother?
