Preorder Platnium CLASS DLC

[Dexadrinne]

Is this coming to steam? I only see it on the Giants website.

This is not a DLC yet. It will be part of the platinum edition of the game which will include the full game in the price. Not sure if they release a Claas DLC at the same time. Maybe someone remembers how they did it in FS17.

There should be an option to upgrade the standard edition to the platinum edition. That's how it worked previously.

From the article:

"The Platinum Edition will be available as both a standalone product as well as an expansion for current Farming Simulator 19 owners. There will be much more information about the Platinum Edition, CLAAS vehicles, and other Platinum additions in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled."

Well , it's up now as a DLC.. I just pre-ordered it...

[Purno]

Will the pre-order bonus count for any purchase made before release, even if I wait a while? I want to see what other features will be announced before making the decision to buy or not to buy. I'm hoping the Platinum edition will be more than just a bunch of vehicles.

I am also thinking about getting the CLAAS addon.
I want to pre-order it through the website from farming simulator, so I get the bonus material.
Will I be able to play this addon even though I have bought the main game on steam?
Thanks guys.

Yes. It clearly states it works with Steam edition in the description.

Pre ordering on Steam also gets the bonus items.

Considering the Anderson DLC was 12.99 for 13 pieces of equipment ,my guess it is just the 35 new pieces from the Claas brand bundled with the base game and maybe the rest of the DLC too?

The Platinum edition usually comes with a new map as well and sometimes a new crop, sugarcane was added with the Plat edition in 17.

Boy I hope they mention more stuff that will be added to the game.

Forage & Baling & 35 Vehicles aren't a seller for me. But again that's just me.

Ya, cause that just isn't enough. Only settle for at least 100 new vehicles, and a map.
Ok, no...go for 200 vehicles and 2 new maps, and a cool new designer pair of sunglasses for your farmer npc. lol

[Purno]

Indeed. I don't care about the number of new vehicles. I do care about a new map and new features. I was hoping the expansion would include those.

So, I'm waiting for any additional info before I'm making a purchase. Pre-order bonus looks nice, so I hope the info gets here before the pre-order offer expires.

I would love to see GPS support that alone I would pre-order. I know there is a mod out there but it's a bit clunky and bugs out at times.

Even the top modders who made all those scripts for GPS, AutoCombine, CoursePlay can't get the scripts written in FS19 yet, so I don't even think the game engine or the game coding is capable of providing that at this point. The modders keep saying that Giants needs to fix the game's coding for them to be able to write the programs.

I'm curious, without actually looking at it myself what is the issues with the games code that is causing modding issues? I didn't think the underlining code foundation changed that much between fs17 and 19.

Well, from what I've been reading and hearing, it's not the same, and has caused quite a bit of frustration with some of the better known modders, like bulletbill and oxygendavid. The modders are making progress though, Seasons initial release just came out this week, and apparently ls-modcompany has some factory scripts starting to come out. I don't code or mess with it, so wouldn't know exactly what the details are, but it's very noticeable by reading stuff on the Giants forums that there is something missing or wrong with how the coding works this version. I can also see cross platforming being a problem? Again, not sure personally.
