Spanking new forestry equipment but no forests....

[FoxDonut77]

I appreciate why GIANT nerfed the forestry economy, as some mentioned, once you get the Scorpion forestry is more or less cheating. Besides, earning your money the hard way makes the game a lot more fun, you'll be more careful as you consider your next investment.

Now, there is plenty of forestry equipment in the game which is nice, but the Goldcrest map has no forests. Why?

If you are going to direct me to those dark green spots on the map that are essentially some rocky hills scarsely spotted with pines, please think again. IRL they'd never be projected for felling. First of all, trees are too scarce and secondly the terrain do not allow efficient operation of heavy forestry machinery.

Are we supposed to plant our trees and create our own forests? I really loved the forested areas in the FS2015 standard map. Would love to see an update to existing maps with some real forests that actually makes investing in the POSSNE harvester and forwarder meaningful. Buying those as things are now would be like using a trawler to fish for trout in a mountain creek.


Like having a big ♥♥♥ trawler sitting in a dried out lake at the moment. And before anyone even thinks about reminding be of FS being a FARMING game, allow me remind you first that GIANT were the ones to introduce forestry into it, as they should as many farmers world wide own forests and make a living out of caring for it and harvesting it for money.

FS is a farming simulator and I appreciate farming is where the focus should be. However that does not in any way mean that we can't have maps with decent forests in them....

Looking forward to your comments on this, cheers!

Hmmmmm more entitelled brats , Lets see fs 15 only one map had forests, west bridge had none. Now in fs 17 both have forests , you want these big forests you speak of why not try Sosnovka lots of forests there. Guess your figure the game is called forestry simulator. Really if you actually put half as much though into modding a map to suit your needs as you do into complaining you be a far happier person.

Oh it's just this thing you see, I want a decent forest in the new map so your solution is really not a solution. I figure the game is called Farming Simulation 2017 and I also figure the developers of the game decided to introduce forestry as early as in FS 2015. They are still entertaining the idea of promoting forestry as an important part of the game, why else would they add even MORE forestry equipment in FS2017? Which is why I wonder why we have more fields than we could possibly need and at the same time they fail at designing a wooded landscape suitable for medium to large scale forestry. I mean, the map is big enough to saitsfy both needs! It's like there was no communication between the crew responsible for the map design and the crew responsible foir the rest of the game.

"Oh, so we ARE keeping the forestry machinery? So we SHOULD have more forested areas? Why can't they just go about chopping down the trees that are spread throughout the map, along roads and next to public areas, I mean our clientel doesn't want realism do they?"

At least the sapling planter will come to good use! I've started making my own wooden areas even though I don't think I should've to...

I tried all those links but there is nothing.

I linked pics from my Steam online gallery, they don't show up as embedded pictures for you?

Ah, perhaps it will work better if I make the pics available to the public :D

Hmmm you have a decent forest in sosnovka , unless your special and somehow are more important than anyone else maybe just maybe Giants figured the should release one map with only a few trees and one with real forests like sosnovka. Hmmmmm worked thhat way in fs 15 . seems Giants unlike you relize a good majority of the player dont use forestry or want if so they created maps to suit both. Maybe stop thinking only of yourself and try thinking of the bigger picture.

LOL! Sorry, but there's nothing rational about what you just wrote.

GIANTS realize most people don't want to do forestry, sooooo GIANT spends time and effort into giving us even MORE forestry machinery? Please! :)

I'm probably the ONLY one seeing the big picture here, you seem more interested in fighting arguments rather than listening to them.

Get a modded forestry map, problem solved?

Nope, it does not solve the problem. Using modded maps deals with the symptom but doesn not get to the root cause, thus it does not solve the problem. Get it?

I don't know about your Goldcrest Valley map, but mine does have a lot of trees all over the place, especially in hilly areas, around lakes, along roads and train tracks.

Some trees even seem to grow back after a couple of days, but that might have been a feature of the updated map in the patch.

I don't think GIANTS make map changes on personal request

Neither do I, I don't even know why you are bringing that up since I never suggested they should. Either you're taking everything I say literally or you're being juvenile.

[Crotalus]

Lol with your steam name you have the nerve to call ppl juvenile. You steam name explains your attitude to a T . Your the only one complaining about forests so grow up. Want forests play sosnovoka or learn how to mod a map. OOPS forgot you to busy wanking.

Aren't you saying that default maps don't have enough forestry?

I think the root cause is he wants his money for nothing and his trees for free . . . and maybe someone to do it for him so he can keep solo wanking

You're completely off the mark. First you can't stick to the topic, instead you bring my nick name into this and then you can't distinguish between complaints and constructive feedback. To round things off, you persist on referring to Sosnovka all while I'm trying to point out the design flaws of the new map that came with FS2017. If I thought it'd be a total waste of time trying to feedback GIANT on their work then I'd probably go for a modded map from the start.

I don't expect everyone to agree with me but at least stick to the subject. If you want to discuss something completely different, start a new thread.
