There was a minor incident I had to deal with at work, and my trailer has smelled like orange degreaser all freaking day as a result.

The LED lights NOT on a dimmer switch on that circuit haven't flickered since, and my fan hasn't done that weird pulsing thing it was doing earlier as a result of voltage drops. And more importantly, my UPS has not had a single issue since that night.

Been almost a week since replacing the breaker that went bad. The bathroom lights still flicker from time to time, but I'm 99% sure that's an issue stemming from LED lights and dimmer switches not specifically made for those specific LED bulbs. Regardless, nothing else has been acting up since.

So I forgot most of the facilities on this map has open and closed hours, so imagine my surprise when a tanker I parked at an anhydrous ammonia dispenser was discovered in a field on its side a good 150 meters from where I left it last night (in game), an immovable tank parked where I was.

Woke up to the alarm. First thought of the day? "Oh fuck why is it Monday?" I want to go back to sleep.

Holy shit it took a literal week to complete an in-game day, and I still have some fields to harvest on top of the 3 fields I need to mulch and plow (which despite not showing a needs plow state is still harassing me about plowing the fields I used a subsoiler on)

At least with GPS keeping my tractor pointed in a straight line I can just set the direction, hit the cruise, and multitask while looking now and again to make sure I'm not driving off field. I can't plow new fields thankfully, but the mulcher can ruin crops on other fields.

Screenshot of Farming Simulator 22's tablet screen, showing the map of Nebraska Lands 22 (16x) map mod. All the red areas are fields that need to be plowed (eventually.) It doesn't look like a lot, but with this being a 16x map that means that there's essentially 16 normal sized maps worth of space being shown. To be fair this also includes non-field properties and roads due to how the map was coded, but that's still over half the fields that need to be mulched and plowed before I can do literally anything else, otherwise I take a hit to the yield that I can harvest.

Ugh half of these fields are going to require plowing. Including the grass fields and the poplar field, which sucks because those are the only crops that grow back after harvesting, so I'm going to have to harvest, mulch, plow, lime, fertilize, seed, roll, weed, and fertilize them AGAIN.

comic, shiny synth lizard sees someone dumping coins into a coinstar machine and thinks about how yummy they would be, imagines a genius scheme to pretend to be the coinstar machine to get a snack of tasty coins. It sneaks up on the machine, whaps it out of the way with its tail, then sits and begs holding the coinstar sign. Another person comes up, thinking "woag new c-star machine?" and dumps coins in the synth's waiting mouth. The synth then scrambles away on all fours lizard style leaving the coinstar enthusiast surprised

Anyway, I have a pot of chili I need to put away.

...and by put away I mean eat :9

They do have a couple of nice empty plots that are perfect for adding things to them too, but modifying the land (mostly for visuals, like painting in gravel and asphalt or grasslands) can potentially get real expensive real fast D: At least it's all flat land, so I don't have to level anything!

That said, I am enjoying the map, even if I have to add in a couple production points (sugar mill for processing sugar beets) and set up some fields to grow crops that may or may not be already planted starting out. But that's going to be determined by the starting seed of any new save I do.

At least starting out won't be too bad, considering you get some really good equipment assigned to your farm (and a ton of equipment just lying around to use, even if you can't sell or modify them without some XML edits) that I can sell to offset the cost of getting the equipment I prefer.

Baling will probably be the only way to make money on contracts, and I'm still trying to find ways to streamline this process, especially with silage as round bales require a lot of stopping and going, even with the fastbale mod. I go just a little too fast for it sometimes and that's normal speeds!

12.10.2025 02:55 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Outfitting most of the farms with the equipment needed to keep them running would have cost a ton of money. The need to buy fields to work myself instead of doing contracts doesn't help this either, especially with nearly every grain silo needing a conveyer. Doable one at a time at least though.

Holy shit the amount of back and forth I'd have to do personally to unload grain while harvesting would make the jobs 10x longer than they would be even if I were limited to 10mph working speed. Though game stutters don't help the 55mph harvesting speeds because it causes small sections to be missed

Thus it won't work on plow contracts, despite it satisfying the requirement for removing the "Needs Plowing" state on fields.
The Colossus Unreal Harvesting mod is a freaking necessity if I don't want to spend literal hours harvesting some of these fields. Especially with unreal capacity.

Things I'm learning about Farming Simulator 22 and the mods I'm using... Harvest contracts are still broken on the Nevada Lands 16x map but that could be a core game issue again...
The subsoiler I'm using that plows fields with a wider work width and speed than normal is technically a cultivator.

You know what's better than homemade chili?

Leftover homemade chili when all the flavors have had time to mingle and combine :D

Aaand it turns out I can't do a sheep farm because there are too many animal pens on the map by default already, and I have no idea how many animal pens I need to remove to be able to add a single sheep farm. Ah well, massive cotton field it is then!

And then once that's done half of the leftover straw goes to TMR production and the rest goes to precompost production. That will probably take another 2 hours in game, so half the day in the real world.

Only halfway through the first day still, and I'm STILL setting up. The chicken farm is good to go and well stocked with enough wheat to last until next harvest, but the cow farms I'm still getting set up with straw, and that's going to take a while as I build hay lofts and get belts set up.

Okay, setting up the farmlands took a lot longer than I expected but aside from a sheep farm I'm just about ready to get started with the new save on the 16x map. Downside is a significant amount of fields aren't crops I need, but I should be able to get some new fields started with needed crops.

I do not want to imagine the amount of mold and mildew that would be present in a bathroom that well carpeted

10.10.2025 23:52 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Could be worse though! I could carpet a bathroom, doing all of the above AND the outside of the toilet, sink, and tub. And the mirror too because why not? Also any cabinets and other permanent fixtures!

10.10.2025 23:31 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Even the light switch cover! But not the outlet covers because that's a fire hazard, and electrical safety is very important! But the curtains? Also carpeting. The ceiling fan? That's going to require some careful balancing on the blades but also carpeted

10.10.2025 22:47 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

What if I just lost my mind and carpeted an entire room? No, you don't understand. The ENTIRE room.

... No you still don't get it. The. Entire. Room.
Not just the floor, not just the walls, not just the ceiling. But the doors, window sills, and trim molding are all carpeted as well.
