initial tractor controls require WASD
dont know if you can remap to arrows. Surely?

all i did was the tutorial. Considering i know absolutely shite about farming , this is gonna be hella challenging

yeah i forgot to check. had to adjust graphic settings (very high, max resolution of course) and forgot to check controls

its really fun if you like simulators. Create a boss farm. Plant stuff. harvest stuff. Get paid. Addon to your farm. rinse repeat

plus all these badass vehicles

so i did some research
and yes
you can remap keys


numbers 1-9 are used for cruise control. Could probably map them to the number pad. and then have your WASD mapped to arrow keys

Wonder how the multiplayer works? All of us on a farm with 1 bank account, or 3 farms and we compete to see who can get the most cash?

Why the hell did I just buy this? Now I can spend all day baling hay and come home and bale virtual hay. Wonder if I could rig my laptop in the tractor so I could bale virtual hay while I roll up actual hay?

If you have one of those satellite monitor screens, you might can. My friend is trying to figure out a way to get his xbox hooked up to it so the statellite can drive and he can play.

Looks like Rage on steroids, but I don't get into MP games much.

Done with the Farm tutorials, I am more interested in the finance aspect I want to see how large I can build my empire.

This game brings up a question, if you have to plant a potato to get a potato, WTF why don't we run out of potatoes? I know there is a simple explanation, but I have never been on a farm.

One Potato yields many plants. You don't plant the whole thing by itself. You slice it up in sections, trying to get a few eyes in each section. Then you plant the sections individually.

Haven't determined yet.

from the little I've read, yeah... Someone can run the farm/finances and someone else uses the tractors to harvest.

Seems the owner of the farm can put out "requests" to friends to come help harvest..heh.

Just harvested my starter field

just hired someone to recultivate it

Need to figure out how to get seed into my sower

need to find a "mower" for a side mission

Can "tab" around from tractor to tractor. Then hire people. Can basically be everywhere at once running a mega farm like a boss

But that's a ways off for me. I took a corner too sharp and almost dumped out an entire trailer of crop. Woulda been tragic
