Farming Simulator 22 Guide – What’s the best map to start with?

Farming Simulator 22 The player has the ability to start his farming journey on one of three maps: Elmcreek, a fictional town in the United States, along with the also fictional but very picturesque European settlements of Haut-Beyleron and Erlengrat.

Each of these maps has striking differences in topography, layout, and landscape. So which one is the best to start with? It all depends on what is most important to you in Agriculture Emulator experience. In this map guide for Farming Simulator 22, we’ll break down the core differences in the three maps and see what their strengths and weaknesses are. Keep in mind that all of this applies to playing in the “New Farmer” mode, which offers a balanced playstyle.

Elmcreek – Baby’s first farm

Small, cute and simple are probably the best ways to describe the Elmcreek experience. Players are provided with three tractors and basic equipment to perform some field work. The problem is, the three starting fields are very small; Together they can produce the yield of an average ish field. However, on their own, you will never make a few thousand here and there.

For the players who are completely green in life Farming Simulator, then this is not a big deal. The simple layout of the farm is just enough to provide a good starting point for learning the basics of the game. The problem only really comes after it’s expanded, or if you’re already a seasoned fan.

In that case, the small and cramped nature of the farm is an annoyance, even when looking for spots to build and place objects/equipment. The modest returns that can be made make buying more land early a necessity, but a difficult decision. There is a moderate field right next to the main farm, on the west side (no 47). It can be purchased with the initial $100,000 you start with and it will leave you with a little over $30,000 to play with. However, you have to be really careful with your initial purchases to avoid loan sharks. However, it will make a profit a lot faster than in beginner fields.

While Elmcreek’s focus is on beginners, it’s not a bad map overall. It has a nice variation in field sizes, making it possible to scale at a steady rate, at an affordable price. The visual design of its landscape is also quite nice, although arguably not as glamorous as the Euro maps. However, there are 10 production facilities that you can purchase to operate without having to build your own, along with a large amount of forest area for forestry work if you wish.

Haut-Beyleron – Historic Hillside

In contrast to Elmcreek, Haut-Beyleron’s Europe map is definitely aimed at returning players. The initial three fields you give are a lot bigger and it’s actually a bit of a challenge to run with it, considering the power and modest size of the starter device.

This map is also more topographically endowed, which means that the constant change in elevation will make it harder for your machines to work as they defy gravity.

That said, the farm itself is a nice piece of land with a good portion of storage space for equipment and free space to place items like greenhouses, tanks and the like. The surrounding areas are clad in a vast array of green shallow hillsides, a giant river cuts the map in half, and a pretty little town in the center has some great historic architecture. pretty.

Haut-Beyleron contains a huge variety of eye candy, as you take your crops to various points of sale, including the eight production facilities that the map already has. As for using it for forestry, it’s not very well suited to Elmcreek, but there is a forested area to the north not too far from Sawmill, so you can definitely use it as an alternative revenue source. when you are tired of field work.

Erlengrat – A fitting return for a veteran

Originally released as part of the Alpine Expansion for Farming Simulator 19, Erlengrat is back here in Farming Simulator 22 with some slightly improved features to take advantage of FS22new mechanics. That said, this is a map to avoid if you’re a new player.

It’s not that this map is terrible; not in the least. It’s the best picture Giants has produced, and also the most unique from a gameplay perspective. Instead of starting with the fields, you are given a really nice farmhouse and some decent equipment, but it’s clearly dedicated to raising livestock first and foremost.

Raising animals is a somewhat technical process that you won’t learn as a beginner, hence why this is considered a map for returning players. The original barn had some happy hungry cows and plenty of grass around to feed them. If you want to do any crop farming, you will first have to generate enough profit to buy land that actually has fields. That won’t happen immediately, as the lands on this map and the existing fields are on the larger side, thus resulting in a suitably large price tag.

Combine this fact with only five pre-built production facilities, and it’s clear that the main focus of this map isn’t farming. You are encouraged to explore animal husbandry, together with the rotating revenue streams including greenhouses, beehives, and especially forestry. I say “special” because Erlengrat is split in two by a river.

The north side is where all the infrastructure, including your farm, is located. But, the south side of the river is nothing but open space and lots of trees that can be used for forestry purposes. So really, this is a map for the more adventurous players who want to increase their practice time with the game, as almost none of the initial missions can be automated.

Indeed, Farming Simulator 22 there’s a lot to offer on a map-to-map basis. Also, remember, this guide is only for maps that have been completed consists of in the game; The vast world of modified maps will expand quite rapidly in the coming months, each offering a unique style of play. So head to Elmcreek or Haut-Beyleron and then venture out to conquer even more maps with the skills you’ve acquired.
