So After 70 Hours of it 3/4 in Multiplayer I will write a Review. I have been Playing the Agricultural Simulator since 2008 and have been present at every Release since then. Pro and Contra of the Game: Pro: 1. This super good Performance, at LS 08 I have with my Computer on High 45fps, at 2011 about 50fps and at 15 Also 50fps, now I have on Very high + + constant 60fps and even after over 600 felled Trees and well over 2000 Trunks. 2. The Setting convinces me also very, large and also small Fields, the Train feature, the big Bags and also otherwise the Ambience Fit well (Goldcrest Valley, Sosnovka is not so my Case). 3. Syncronicity in Multiplayer is both better and faster than in the 15s. (Standard Map without mods Syncro time under 10secs). 4. There are numerous innovations, yes many or even all things that are now from "werk" were available in the 15th and before as a Mod. But this does not make it worse in my own eyes, One must not forget that Agriculture is a narrowly defined Area and that one is actually limited to the Core Functions. 5. The Vehicle and Equipment selection has become really extensive, and the selection of options for the Vehicles is also considerable. Wide Tyres, Care tyres, wheel Weights, Engine Tuning, Front Loader Console, additional Train mouth, Colour choice of vehicle and also Rims etc ... As you can see it stands very much for selection. 6. Physics and Objects on the Map, in the single player there really are MIllions of Micro-objects that can be lifted and Thrown through the area, also the Pallets and Bales Handling is much better than in the front of the Front and you can see the annoying small objects. Simply take the Tips and load them by hand into a Hanger or Hacker. 7. the AI. You can set whether Diesel/fertilizer/seed is consumed or bought directly, Manure and Crap can The Helper independently pick up from one of the Mishaufen/Slope bearings and put them out in the Field. When Turning, the Helper No longer tries to let so much stand, just as when Sowing, the Helper tries to work on all corners thoroughly and Efficiently. When Ploughing, the Helper behaves like when Ploughing, he dives into the Field only when the Plough is above the field, i.e. that according to the Helper you should and must drive 2-3 Crossways as a Pre-turn (but this does not change any). Only when Fertilizing with Liquid Fertilizer Did the Helper adjust a bit awkwardly (because of the Discarding of the Syringes). Kontra: Like every Game of the last 10 Years, this one is not perfect for Release, sometimes you have the feeling that the Developers no longer have Time to Test their Product in detail. Especially here, the Syncro with dedicated servers is now noticeable Again. Basically it is good, but it can happen that you can't pick anything off the Ground for a short time (this is noticeable when you spawn a few Meters off the Vehicle), This happens even if you are alone on a Server. Another negative aspect is some minor Problems in some Vehicles or the Behavior of device/vehicles. However, all Problems have already been reported to Giants and it is a Matter of Time before the Largest part is Fixed. Verdict: The Game is a good Game especially for Old Bunnies in the Agricultural Simulator, with all Hard settings (3x Fertilizing and Plowing for Maximum Yield) it is a Challenge and also Time Intensive. Thanks to the Large selection of Vehicles and devices and also the Possibility for Relative Small Money Vehicle/Devices to MIeten, you can save a lot of Money especially in the Early Days. For all LS Players who are looking for a Challenge, it is Advisable to play in a heavy Manner in Multiplayer. (No Field Missions and no Gold Nuggets with the €1mio reward). I Will be able to edit this Review again in about 3-4 Months in order to give a Conclusion After ~ 200-1000 hours of play. Small Intermediate conclusion after ~ 213 Hours. It still makes a big fun and the ModSupport Gets better and better from day to day. Have also started active again with the Modding, I am already looking forward to the first Correct Custom Maps with a large Range of Functions.

Improvements all around compared to the already excellent FS15. Even better graphics and sounds, with loads of details that adds to realism. Vehicle dynamics is really good - big step compared to FS15. (Focus / GIANTS should consider building a truck and/or construction simulator on this engine.) Even bigger selection of vehicles and tools. Bigger selections of plants and animals means more diversity and the ability to build really complex farming operations. I like the idea of being able to work for other farmers. That invites you to plenty of driving instead of just hiring workers all the time. The application itself continues to be rock-solid on OS X / macOS. Works perfectly with gaming devices such as steering-wheels/pedals and joysticks. The new built-in tool to find, download, and update mods works great. Well worth the price either you like farming operations or just love to play with machinery. Thanks for bringing it to the Mac App Store!
