Farming Simulator 25 gets a substantial boost in realism with Precision Farming 3.0. With more than five million downloads since we released the initial version, we had to bring it back. And we've added new features in addition to existing ones - find out more below!

Available Now!

DE Precision Farming 3.0 Now Available - Free Pack!


Tramlines & Subsidies

In this new and improved iteration of Precision Farming, tramlines help you plant like a pro -guiding your machinery along the same paths each time for cleaner fields and healthier crops.

If you're planting catch crops like oilseed radish, you'll get rewarded with in-game subsidies for choosing eco-friendly, nitrogen-saving methods over standard fertilizing. Just like the real deal!


PWM & Section Control

Precision Farming 3.0 also adds some cool tech: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) - a fancy name for sprayers that can adjust output on the fly. Instead of just blasting fertilizer nonstop, PWM lets each nozzle do its own thing, pulsing out just the right amount depending on your speed or turns. That means less waste and better coverage.

We also add Automatic Section Control: Your machines will now switch individual parts on or off as needed - no more over-spraying or missing spots. It's cleaner, smarter, and better for the environment.

New Machines & Retro-Fit Sensors

You’ve got six machines to play with in this update, including the John Deere R975i sprayer and the HAWE body swap system. Ever wanted to turn a trailer into a high-end slurry tanker? Now you can with the Wienhoff 25.200 PTW Profi Line that comes with a manure sensor.

And for those of you sticking with other sprayers, you can upgrade them with PTx Trimble WeedSeeker2 sensors to spot-spray weeds like a boss. Simply retrofit them!


What's Precision Farming?

Haven't played Precision Farming with Farming Simulator 19 or Farming Simulator 22? Let's do a short recap, huh?

• Precision Farming was initiated by EIT Food, Europe’s leading Food Innovation Initiative, in cooperation with John Deere, educational institutions, and other partners.
  
• Co-funded by the European Union, the initial goal was meant to highlight sustainable technology in agriculture to create awareness in the general population.
  
• Farming Simulator was basically offering itself as a vehicle to transport the awareness of sustainable farming, reaching millions of players world-wide.
  
• Other partners of the project: The University of Hohenheim (Germany), the University of Reading (UK), Grupo AN (the largest cereal cooperative in Spain), and the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of Polish Academy of Sciences.

With new crops, animals, buildings, and factories, there will also be new products. When the work in the fields is done, and you decide to make more of your harvest (because you are not just a farmer, but a businessman), there are plenty of opportunities to do so.


Greenhouses are back, and there's so much more you can grow. That's, of course, in addition to the 25 regular field crops of Farming Simulator 25. You can also grow garlic, chilies, or spring onions, in addition to tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries, and other fine greenhouse vegetables. Choose which crops to grow, provide water, and wait for the results to be put out in pallets.

If you're a fungi friend, there are even special greenhouses and warehouses in addition to the regular glass greenhouses, so you can grow mushrooms. Since the spongy species of shrooms we have in Farming Simulator 25 prefer darkness, this type of greenhouse is completely shielded from sunlight.

There are several ways to distribute or sell your greenhouse produce. Sell them directly, ship them to factories for further processing, or distribute them to local farm shops. Let's take a look at farm shops!



Whether they're built via the construction menu and are owned by you or already exist in town, farm shops can only make profits if they have stuff to sell.

That's, of course, up to the local farmer - meaning you. Otherwise, their baskets and boxes remain empty.

Build your farm shops where you see fit. A small farm shop at the side of the road, like you see them so often driving around the countryside, or even a bigger one directly at your farm. It's always nice to put the fruits of your labor on display.


Farm shops are charming, but the townsfolk needs more to eat than just some roadside tomatoes. In Riverbend Springs and Hutan Pantai, there are Farmer's Markets at the center of town.

Local vendors require you to supply them with even more goods to feed the people. Delivering higher quantities is more profitable, of course.

While other businesses in Riverbend Springs don't count on their local farmer alone, the stores in Hutan Pantai insist on locally grown crops.

Which is why stores remain fully closed if you don't deliver in time.

Are the farmer's markets supplied with fresh produce? Good! Let's not stop there. People want their canned goods, too. And when they're fed, humans start to build things which they require other resources as well. You can help. And further increase profits.



Factories and production buildings, whether they're owned and built by you or already exist in the city, will offer to buy and process your goods and resources. That's not limited to crops, but also wood and other resources.

There's now a cement factory, for example, as this valuable commodity is required in various construction projects. Let's check out some new factories and production buildings.

Just before launch of Farming Simulator 25, we thought some more cuteness would be appropriate. Let's start with a GIF you can basically hear:

We even had a chat with our Senior Animator Rahul Narode about the adorable animations of newborn and juvenile creatures on four legs. And two legs... because chickens. Check out the interview below. There will be more baby GIFs to hold your attention.

There's more! We got some information on the animal types and the customization of animalistic living spaces - as you can create custom fences for animal pens. That means more individual farms that focus on animal husbandry. Isn't that nice?



To provide animal farmers more control over the pens, you can customize them by changing colors, adding solar panels, and, more importantly, draw the fences yourself. Customize the layout to create any shape you want, and build pastures around obstacles or occupied space!

We continue after this short baby animal break:

Awww...



Thanks to the animalistic offspring as well as Water Buffalos and Goats joining with Farming Simulator 25, you can expect your animal farm to get way more lively and colorful.

Animals start their life as tiny newborns, then become juvenile, and ultimately productive adults. Let's take a look at what each animal provides and what you can do with it.

https://i.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNG42bjFnYXB3b2syZ2NtZ2h6cGw1ajB3cGR3bTVwOXUyemkzZWMxayZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/rE7odUSTFEy8645oXF/giphy.gif
So who's responsible for all this animated adorableness? It's this guy!

First, tell us a bit about you and what you do in general!
I am a Senior Animator at GIANTS Software. I did various animations for Farming Simulator 25, reviewed animations and developed them up to the mark, so they’re up to our required standards, before I integrated them in the game.

When you begin to animate, how do you start, what are the steps?
Before starting animation, I always take time to think about what needs to be done specifically for an animal or what output is required. That means thinking about the characteristics of animals, studying their movements, gathering proper references.

I try to look for video references that show the real animals and their behavior. It requires a thorough study of the animal's characteristics to achieve every little detail.

When I spot interesting movements to showcase in the game and when I am happy with the collected references, I will start to create the actual animations, followed by multiple stages of revision until they’re up to our standards.

What unique behavior will baby animals exhibit, and what was challenging about it?
Unique behavior would be that they are realistic according to their respective species, but also fast and cute at the same time.

Tiny animals are very quick and tricky to animate, because they are so swift in their behavior. So to catch their every movement or every action is a challenging task, especially in key frame animation.

Do you personally have a favorite type of (baby) animal - and why?
My favorite in Farming Simulator 25 would be the baby goats because they hop and jump around, which is adorable - I love that playful energy. But in reality, rabbits are my favorite animal. They are so small yet so fast. I love their quick jerks like they are scared but adorable at the same time. And I find their ear movements quite fascinating.

Anything else you’d like to tell our fans or let them know?
We have created a unique game with Farming Simulator 25, and I hope our fans and players will have a lot of fun with it. The whole team has put a lot of effort into making it special!
