So let's take a look: how do you play Farming Simulator 23 (FS 23)?

How Do You Play Farming Simulator 23 (FS 23)?

When you start the game, you'll be greeted by a massive wheat field. If you want to reach the higher tiers in livestock farming, you can hold onto some of your grain as feed for your chickens, or if you'd rather not deal with livestock, you can expand your land and sell it instead. At this point, you should make sure you're using your land correctly and clearing it regularly. Let's give a few tips for players who choose to get into livestock farming on how they can get started:

How Do You Start Livestock Farming?

You'll start the game with two chickens and a rooster. Since the chickens are quite young, they may not provide you with the eggs you need. Because of this, you can buy more mature chickens from the shop at a very reasonable price. It's also worth noting that you won't be able to collect eggs until you buy a Pallethandler vehicle like a forklift. Even if the eggs sit in a specific spot, unfortunately you can't touch them without these vehicles. You can also buy other animals from the shop. At this point, you'll need to buy pre-built plots of land to give them a better living space. To find the cow barn, horse barn, pig barn, and sheep barn on the map, go to the map and open the Points of Interest tab. Even though unlocking all of them costs some money, they'll make your job much easier since they'll come filled with ready crops. You should also pay attention to using machinery to harvest your crops, so let's explain that too:

Which Machines Should You Choose?

First off, you don't need a bunch of different machines for the tasks you'll be doing. (At the start) You can basically get by with a seeder, a combine harvester, and a cultivator. As your farming operation grows, you'll also need fertilizer and a sprayer. You can choose regular fertilizer to increase your crop yield. Sprayers, on the other hand, prevent weeds from sprouting and make it easier to clear your land. You should also check the weather forecast so you can harvest your crops.

When Can Crops Be Harvested?

Previous games didn't have any weather forecast feature, but in this game you can get an idea of when to harvest your crops by checking the weather forecast. Since your produce is seasonal, which month you plant it in also matters a lot. Even though you can harvest your crops while it's raining, we should mention that you may only get about half of what you'd normally earn. If you're impatient about your seasonal produce, you can also go into the game's settings and change the time scale. This lets you make days pass faster or slower.

These tips should be enough to get you started, and we think you can put together an effective strategy for yourself once you keep them in mind. We hope you grow your land as soon as possible :)
