Need some extra hands in the fields? Or perhaps you’d prefer to call them assistants. We’ve enhanced the AI helpers to be even more precise and dependable. Additionally, every vehicle now features a GPS-guided steering assistant for a more intelligent, effortless farming experience. Of course, if you embrace traditional methods, that option remains open. The decision is entirely yours.
Farming Simulator 25 is almost here! There’s still a window to pre-order and receive the MacDon Pack. The game launches on November 12th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
By pressing the button to activate an AI worker, you’ll have a hired assistant take the reins immediately, just like before. Holding the button longer, however, will provide access to additional settings.
Among the modes available, “AI worker” is designed specifically for the prowess of your digital aide. With ideal settings preselected, you can see how they will function based on the dimensions and shape of the field.
- Working Width is calibrated according to the tool for the task at hand. If multiple implements are in play, you can adjust the width to account for overlaps.
- Number of Headlands is configured based on the equipment and task, though this can be modified as well.
- Work the Headlands instructs your helper whether to treat the designated area like the rest of the field (to cultivate, harvest, etc.) or to simply use it as lanes for turning vehicles.
- Start with dictates whether the assistant will commence with the headland first (to avoid damaging crops during harvest, for instance) or later (when cultivating or plowing).
- Skip lines tells the helper to leave extra space between lines, allowing you room to operate your own machinery in between, for instance.
Once the AI worker begins, they will select the most efficient path for using the machinery according to the settings. They always aim to work strictly within the field’s boundaries.
Prefer to commandeer the machines yourself rather than hiring an AI worker? You can do just that—each tractor in the game may be upgraded to include GPS capabilities. Handy, isn’t it?
Switch from the AI Worker tab to the Steering Assist settings, unlocking additional options for tailoring how the steering assistant handles the field.
- Working Width is once again set in alignment with the employed tools.
- Number of Headlands is adjustable, automatically aligning with the selected tool.
- Work Direction can be modified by degrees in case you wish to work in a direction that avoids the sun shining directly at you at midday, or something similar.
- Side Offset is adjustable for tools with an offset, such as specific mowers.
- Show Lines toggles the view of 3D guidelines in real time—visible whether in third-person view or from the cabin viewpoint.
With the live line display, you can observe machine operations continuously. The HUD will show a “ready” status on the dashboard once you’ve aligned the machinery to a guideline and can initiate work.
Your selected line is marked in orange and shifts to green when you start moving. Meanwhile, your machine’s working width is represented by blue lines. Any remaining lines are shown in white and fade to grey upon completion.
