How to play this game ?

[SoleSurvivor™]

So i just bought this game and its the first one i've played. I imagined it a bit more ,,guidet''.
I read many of the ingame tips but i dont know where to start. i am just standing there and starring at the screen because i dunno what to do. Is there a way to get the game more guidet? And please dont hate on me, i am not very firm with such games. Thank you! xoxo

Just check out some YouTube videos, there are real helpful people out there that will explore the basics with you.

Thank you, i just did and i realised that my game somehow skipped the real ..ingame tutorial'' mine just not started and i was like ,,yeah .. what now??'' The Youtuber had a small tutorial, and that would have really helped :D but thank you c:

Best way to learn is to do.

If you're on Riverbend, jump in the harvester, look at 2, 3,4 or 5, if you see something ready to harvest, do that. If you can't you will be told.

Instructions for how to drive your equipment is at the top left, speed etc. bottom right. Press H for AI helper. Sit back and watch what he does.

Obviously if your harvester has product, you need to put it in a trailer and take it to market. Press ESC for menu, on the 6th option down you will see prices. Select the crop you harvested and find out where to sell it. Later you will learn all the tricks with this, for now you just want the basics.

Once you've sold your crop, it's now clear you need to make more. Hook up cultivator to tractor, cultivate and then hook up sower and sow. When and what is 2nd option down in menu. When ti grows, rinse and repeat.

I'm deliberately being vague because step by step instructions is the worse way to learn. If you make a mistake you can always start the map again.

Any video on FS22 will be invaluable at this stage too.

I'm also not very familiar with all the machines and after harvesting my initial field, I just stuck to jobs where I rent and try out different things.

Now I know that I really like moving tree logs and really dislike helping an AI harvest. That thing took turns I was never able to match with my tractor and trailer and we got constantly stuck inside each other. I aborted the mission and took the 600 renting fee. At least now I know what I won't be planting anytime soon lol

I also cultivated and put calc on both my fields. Then waited until seeding grains. This is where I figured out how to use the new field guidence. If you hold down H, you can select a guide layout. This helps a lot in figuring out the proper way in moving up and down your field.

If you have no any farming history, don't play first.
