Love this series! One suggestion, fuel prices. Even if you set fuel consumption to high, it's still ridiculously small, you can run tractor for entire season and never refuel, when IRL fuel is one of the biggest cost. Maybe edit xml and add a zero to price? I'm not kidding, x2 or x3 still means that you can go months without refueling. And it's opening up another level of realism, you have to think which tractor to use, horsepower is no longer just the price of buying a machine, buying seed in bulk to save a trip makes sense etc.

Dagger just for shits and giggles can you start the next episode with the OG "REALISM IS KEY"

Looks like Dennis has been stacking bales again 😂 honestly this might be my favorite series in a long time, because it's okay and natural to learn as you go. That wheel loader can definitely hold more, when you tried you can grip between the two bales after they're stacked.

Definitely my favourite, I hope daggerwin is enjoying making it.

Now that you have dynamic loans installed, I would think that instead of renting, you should see what you wish to purchase and then get a loan from the bank for that individual piece of equipment. That mod is great for that style of play. You have to ensure that your farm makes enough so that the bank doesn't get mad at you, but also forces you to think about what you actually need. Renting for a one off thing, sure, but a tedder and windrower, well, that is something that is needed for long term use, so a farmer would purchase that with a bank loan.

Absolutely loving this series and glad to hear you're doing better daggerwin :)

Your ploughing is correct, run the wheel in the furrow. Great series’s I am currently playing the same map, whilst playing in real life at a real farm.

Awesome series! Possible additions for realism: Rain Pain - fields will adapt to the environment and impact implements (frozen, wet, etc) Mud System - fields will be muddy when it rains DEF AdBlue - added DEF as an option to newer tractors Also, the multi-terrain angle is only supported on PC, so a map maker would need to create a separate version with support (ex. Bally Spring and Court Farms)

@neilharbott8394

If you use DEF AdBlue you might need to edit some of the mod tractors - older tractors don't use DEF, but some older vehicle mods don't have it disabled.

Note on realism, as it’s a UK map, it’s supposed to be raining constantly, need a perma rain mod lol

😂😂 particularly on the north coast, though it will have 2 weeks of glorious sunshine in August. Historically although they never conquered Ireland, the romans had trade relationships and did visit Ireland, they commented the the weather was atrocious, but that it was particularly good for growing grass.

Hope you are feeling better. 😊

I'd keep the interactive zone markers on for now, get some familiarity with the map first. I like how this series is taking shape!

There's a mod you probably know about called 'Adjustable Mirrors' which would make life a lot easier for you since you're in 1st person view most of the time.

Hope you ok bud, all the best

This series has the potential to be your best ever! Just because of the realism! Keep it up mate!

So 2 things 1 if you dont have any of the rea mods installed like the dirt one or mud and theres one more im forgetting and then 2nd maize plus might be a nice additional addon as well to this series

Thanks Daggerwin for what i think is the best series you ever produced so far

Good point

Dagger, sorry to hear you were in a bad place previously. Your videos are always enjoyable for always give me something to look forward to. Hope you are feeling much better. Cheers!

Hey Daggerwin! love the series I think its one of my favorites already! On another note, I think I speak for all of us when I say take as many breaks or time off as you need. your health is always number one priority. We will always be here waiting for your next videos! I appreciate all you do entertaining me every day with your videos and series that I rewatch constantly!

Also, install a good GPS mod. Farmers typically use that now in medium to large agriculture around the world. It will also help you with reducing overlaps and skips.

Love this series so far Daggerwin! I much prefer the pace, more realism, and less panic! Also, my vote is more days per month! Less hectic, less likely to miss jobs that need doing, etc. Thank you for the hard work you put into this content, I really enjoy watching your videos and chuckle along!

It's realistic to use pallet forks to load bales, we do on our farm irl. There's many stupid things that can be done in FS that can be done irl mate. Btw if the grass was lightly spread out and only just started growing you probably could plow it up with a cultivator but a very aggressive one though. Great video mate keep up the good work

When plowing, never start in the middle of a field, always an edge because in real life it would leave a dead furrow or ridge in the field. And you want those on your edges.

Pleased to hear you're doing better Daggers. Always out yourself first. We all love your work, but we all want you to be well too. Much love!

I think that Manual Attach would be a good mod for your realistic series. I am loving this series, keep up the good work!

Love this series already!

this series is fantastic. good to hear you're feeling better. probably should use the auto loader and eliminate that "grab" situation. then use the spike when loading for feed at which point you should remove the wrap first anyways. I also noticed the gauges working on that Massey when you started the tractor and drove off.

Thank you for this series. I love the scenery and road variation in this map.

Hey Daggerwin! Welcome back to Fairhead and I am glad to hear that you are feeling much better. Here's to an even brighter future: cheers!

It makes my heart full with joy to see him using soft hands😊

You can get the parking mod, then "park" all the vehicles so you can't accidentally tab to them. You can still unpark and tab to them if the need ever arises.

Thanks you ! I finally know what that mod his, I see it without knowing what its for everytime I create a new save lol I might have downloaded it while I was trying public servers lol

I feel like a gatr or some kind of ATV would be a perfect investment for this kind of realism gameplay. Some sort of low boy vehicle trailer seems like a must since it is dual purpose for pallets/bales and vehicle transport

Glad you added more realistic mods, and please add manual attach

I love this series. I'm here for it.

Sorry to hear you were in a bad way, I hope you’re feeling better. This is looking like an interesting series n I’m looking forward to it

Feel like this is going to be very similar to Dusty Cove. One of my favourites! Looking forward to Fairhead!

Hey bud, just been thinking of the 1 day per month thing, and i get why, but would it be an idea to maybe have 5 days per month but put the speed of each day upto 5x what you currently have it set too, if 5 seems a little fast maybe do 3 days and so 3x the speed of time?? Just a little idea i was thinking of, would give you the same amount of real time but also give multiple days in each month??

@Steveypants

Ай бұрын

I think I agree with this. Maybe go to 4 days, so each day is a week, and then do 10x or 15x time speed. That way it's less of a rush and you could do a couple of days an episode, maybe? It might enable you to give a nice slow-paced coverage of more jobs, especially as you get more and more to do. You might have one main job per day, and then you won't miss getting stuff done each month, or go too long between cuts on the grass, etc. Might also help with less repetition between episodes.

@defective6811

Ай бұрын

seconded (thirded?) on more days per month, however it works best

When we do silage, we wrap the bales in storage even though they were wrapped on the field you always get holes and tears in the first wrap. But its already unrealistic you don't cut grass for silage in September it should be May for the highest quality early May is best. And you must always role and mulch early spring the grass should be at 3cm first growth stage and dry. No fertilizer no ploughing has it will bring moisture to the surface. In the UK we add sand to the pre mulched ground.

Another great let's play fast becoming a favourite map Ireland have some stunning maps

You should use Manual Attach! It will make this series better than it already is.

This is the perfect series for "Manual Attach". Super Realistic. Please don't jump cut when driving along the roads. So frustrating...... 😀

the dashboard live mod only works with compatible mods. the modders have the add it to the tractor. it is the same with mods like interactive control (when it does work though it is amazing)

Thanks for another great episode

Brilliant series Daggerwin!

You should also remove the plastic on the silage bales before putting them in the feedmixer :)

I have another idea for a rule is to not keep vehicles, tools, or equipment outside overnight and work all-night in real time if you have to like real life farmers, I should know because I saw a KZread channel called How Farm's Work making heyledge sausages from early to mid day upto 3am the next day

Hey Daggerwin! Stoked to see so many of my mod ideas added. I did forget to mention though that Dashboard Live needs setting up on tractors you want to use it on, which is quick once you know what you're doing but is time consuming to start with. The mod does have PDFs in the mod folder... but it involves messing around in xml files and such. Not a plug and play mod, unfortunately so probably not worth keeping on unless you want to get your hands dirty. All said and done... I like just the zoom functionality that it has baseline, so it's not entirely useless without xml changes lol Glad to hear you're doing a bit better, and can't wait to see more!! EDIT: Looking at your menu screen, Crop Rotation might not be enabled or installed correctly. You should have a crop rotation planner in the menu, and when walking over a field you should have a HUD element showing your crop rotation status (Bad / Perfect / etc.)

Really enjoying this series so far Dags. I always prefer the more realistic playing style as it takes a lot more skill to progress. I know you didn’t get on with Maize Plus in Court Farm, but I always play with it because it gives you a reason to grow a wider variety of crops. The cows do eat a lot more food though!

It's alright two use a bale spike to lift bags we do that in real life

The map maker can update the Multi-Terrain Angles to the map that takes the default 7 angles (22,45,90,112,135,175) to 32 angles this makes the plowing or seeding look more accurate. It does make it harder to set a work off in the right direction.

Glad you're feeling better Dagger :) Don't feel like you need to post a vid every day if you dont feel like it! Look after yourself and if you have a day or two off a week for yourself I'm sure nobody will mind!

commenters will always be wild and not fully listen to you, but I always just think that their comments help with the engagement of the video and push it to more people!

Rain Pain and the GPS mod are great for realism. You could also consider expandable pastures (realistic grazing) to convert your grass fields into pastures.

You can’t just tape the bale over doesn’t stop it fully it’s only a last case resort if you accidentally catch the plastic on something, but obviously can use a spike while selling and feeding

I think the manual attach mod would be great for this. Also maybe the lease to own mod. Or maybe you could use the updated loan mod to do that instead. :) enjoying the series so far

You go right around the map to the shop, its quicker to turn left out of your farm.

It's a shame there's no "field leasing" mod. Pay fees to lease land for a 3-to-5 year period. Cheaper than buying, avoids field-flipping and allows you the change the amount land required as the farm progresses / needs change. I've been out of farming for decades, but leasing fields was definitely a thing a while back.

Daggerwin there is mod that gives you an option to have only 1st person and it is called First Person View

@Arrowhead40

Ай бұрын

He wants to use 3rd person for timelapses tho

Enhanced animal mod is a must if you are trying to run animals in a realism series. It is not perfect, but it is far better than the rudimentary animal system you have in the base game. Plus baby animals! Also since you are playing at a slower pace you might also consider either lowering the time or increasing the number of days per month, until you are busy but not overwhelmed.

32:40 Not quite, unless a mod changes it, stones should only damage your harvester. Seeders are fine. I usually deal with small stones by rolling the field after seeding.

idk if its something you'd like or not, but I very much enjoy using the TrackIR head tracker when using the in cab view

Hi Daggerwin! Thank you so much for still cranking out such great content. I've been watching your videos for what must be 10 years now and I'm still loving your "repetitive" farming gameplay. I'm really sorry to hear that you were not doing well recently. Please take care of yourself. And yeah, Manual attach would be an excellent fit for this series. There's also a manual covers mod which makes you have to get out and open / close covers which I also enjoy. Just a little more playing of the game instead of button-pushing.

Great series! What controllers are you using for the JCB? Is it just a wheel and mouse and keyboard?

I would love for you to get the mod where you can open the vehicles door

If you are being realistic and really want to torture yourself you should have to go to the store every time you want to look at the shop items

Realistically he has a phone and he can look at that whenever he wants

Not sure this is the right map for this series if I'm honest, no multi terrain angle (a big immersion breaker in a realism series), a dealers that's not a dealer but looks more like a neighbouring farm, if the gates not wide enough to get every piece of equipment available to buy out of it then it's not fit for purpose as a dealership imo, and the terrain smoothing in the main yard is a bit poor too if I'm honest. I must say though aside from those map issues for me it's a great series and I am enjoying it, I vote yes to IC capable tractors and Manual attaching mod too. Keep up the great work mate (and maybe edit the dealership gates at the very least).

You Should Try Rounder Bales

Something that I would recommend is in the ingame settings, you can change tho fov up a bit and it makes it a bit more realistic in the cab

Another good series

Your good at wot you do on you tube daggwin and your an awesome person and your video are awesome thanks from bryon

Perhaps an option to make those silage bales easier to handle would be to make them at the smaller size. This would make them easier to be picked up by picking them up in two. I saw you try to pick two up by grabbing the bottom bale only with the top one sliding off. Grab them in the middle of the two bales and life may be easier.

On the topic of hiding the interactive zone markers, you should wait until after you have memorized the map, and only then should you hide them. Otherwise you are likely to miss something important in the future.

Daggerwin, glad to have you back. My suggestion for you would be to hire people to take care of many of the things you do so you can surround yourself with a team, and not burn out. Stay healthy!

One of the best maps need more than one a week

The drop in that yard done my head in wish they would smooth it out

You could try using the second hand category for machinery if you need to

When stacking with a bale grab, you can grab the middle of 2 bales and it is much easier

29:00 the plough should have been the other way the wheel should have gone in the thurogh

Personally I would go for 2 - 3 days per month but up the time to around 7. That would feel more realistic to me, but it's your game, so you do you.

Do you think with the bail grab would it work wjen you've stacked one on top of the other to position the claw right inbetween the two of them so you clamp down on both bails

You should download the rounder bale mod the real mud mod and the realistic damage mod and Maize plus

Happy to hear that you are doing better

Have watched and loved all your videos and this is no different! I hope you are doing ok and please look after yourself

Going to be interesting to see how the combine is going to fit trough the store gate😅.

I noticed that you tend to play at 5x or 6x time, and frequently run out of time or have to do chores in the dark. Why not play at Real Time? You can get a lot more done and "finishing early" is never a bad thing (in-game or IRL)!

When you are stacking the bales, do you use the mouse controls for the frontloader arm or do you use a joystick?

Dagger i love this series

maybe you go with the lease to buy mod for euipment you need for longer times but dont have the money for it atm^^

It can't be a real series if there isn't a dog. Bring back Doggerwin! 🐕

Hope you are doing well, Daggerwin. Whenever you feel you need it, take a break for yourself.

virtual hug for you daggerwin

Daggerwin, I think keeping the time at 5x or anything higher than real time restricts the progress per calendar month which feels a bit wrong for a realistic series and it also keeps the overall progress quite low for the series.

Relly fun series i only have one comet and that is that you should not leave the plow in the air it is something that my dad would yell att me for doing

We have a shop sorted mod that sorts the shop into price order so when you go into a category it starts with the cheapest and each one goes up in price that might come in handy

I like the vid cep at them❤😊
