the point of the game

[MeowThai]

i have all farm sim games came up before. im not against this game or else. im not against to people who are enjoying playing it.. really
i dont understand the point of the game.. it seems we are doing the same thing over and over.. there is no competition.. no other farm company.. all you do is plant seeds and harvest.. not even need to buy a new farm.. why the so big map.. just do your owned the smallest farm and you are still making money.. you dont have any spending.. i dont see any fun in this game after 10-12 hours.. there is nothing..no target..
i agree graphics is really nice. and like i said 10-12 hrs game play is super fun no question there.. but again like all survival games after that.. nothing to do.. RP is also not easy without private mods.. like daggerwin doing.. even at some points he gets bored too..
so whats the point of this game?

how can you have fun with a game keep repeating?!
but i kind of understand you.. so yes i accept your comment, thank you

Playing football/soccer is also pretty repeating isnt it?

@VaultTraveler If gamers were a bit more introspective before asking some questions oh how the forums would change.

i dont play football/soccer games but only manager games..

I find it fascinating how "playing just for fun" as a concept has deteriorated over the years.
This discussion tends to pop up on just about any sandbox game, Minecraft for instance gets it a lot, too.
"What is the point?"
To have fun playing it. Nothing more, nothing less.
The intrinsic fun of the activity itself. Setting your own goals and working towards them.
Diligence and patience being their own rewards.
Setting your own challenges, maybe roleplay something, trying to min/max profits.

Some people can have fun on their own.

You already done everything in 10 h ?. Field crops? Productions? Animals? Forestry? . I just played a few hours to make some money to get my first piece of land to build a farm.... I guess still 10h to go. After that I start with animals about 20h to go. The I take a look for production lines. ( Need money for that so I guess about 40h) Then maybe go for forestry. So I guess you don't know how to play, cuz you have no target whAt do you wanna do or what do you want to get. ^^

I dunno, man. I started playing and got excited when I saw snow deforming, tire ruts, and I lost traction pulling a trailer. Reminded me of mudrunner.

yes like i said they are good graphics.. i agree.. but how long do you think you will watch the snow.. your your tire ruts? im sure after 5 6 hrs you wont even notice them

Alone the buildable garages for your farm cost

1000l logs
1000l walls
1000l walls

for a single garage. So i don't think you will build up a whole temple in 20 hrs gameplay. If a single garage needs that masses

You do farming things. Sometimes it is detailed, sometimes it is not. Harvesting cereal is satisfying, tho most other things are not and somehow deliberately designed this way.

Mods make it a detailed farm modelling hobby. Many varieties of scrapes, splatters and messes to paint on the ground, some curbs and a selection of modular walls, footpath stones, some lamps, rusty buckets and water faucets, some shrubs of varying size, different colors of vehicles, or a specific vintage of 3m cultivator... all this does nothing, tho looks nice. This fun is from making it nice.

It is not a game for struggling and grinding or watching number go up therapy because there is no challenge, and setting up the satisfying harvester therapy takes so long.

I think maybe the only point is to mod it and make your model farm. Not very fun with few mods available.

hahahahahah whats the point in the game its in the title of the game. FARM SIMULATOR....
like every other simulator in the world its to let u do something that u cant normaly do in your life.

And that there is your answer i think. This isn't a management game. There's an actual Farm Manager game that is a full on farm manager simulator which might be more fun for you

Here are some ways I have found to make things fun for myself. When you are new, doing contracts can give you the fun of using different equipment and completing a wide range of tasks. You can choose to really go heavy on the field prep work by leaving all the settings on for needing plow, clearing stones, weeding. Eventually, I think that gets old, so I ended up turning it off but enjoyed it the first few times I did it.

Here are the things that continue to vary as I try different things.
Building out the farm for my needs and placing the buildings in a way that works for me.
Deciding which vehicles I lease vs purchase and shaping the fields to be easier for AI to do.

Then I set my own kind of challenges.

I like to see how many things I can have going on at once. My own equipment could be harvesting my fields, while I have AI traveling back and forth with deliveries, and also have AI doing contracts.

I like to nerd out a little with the numbers and plan my yield amounts to match how much is needed for a given production point.

I like to try to figure out what is most profitable vs what is the best return on investment of both in-game time and real life time.

I'm working on mods to more closely match my region for added realism.

I usually spend my time farming in Farming Simulator 25, I would assume that is the point.
