Farming Simulator Modding News
MackTrucker921
MackTrucker921has released a new video on his page showing off a few new mods that he’s working on. First is a set of pallet forks that have straps on them, allowing you to strap down your pallets, or in this case the massive amount of logs on the front!
Of course, you’ll need a massive weight to hold your tractor down to the ground on the other end, and that’s where his recently announced 7500kg weight comes into play. I mean, it is what it is. A 7500 kg weight.
And of course you’ll also need a massive tractor to use it all with, and that’s where we get to see his unreleased Case IH 340-400 Series Special Edition. This mod however, we’ve known about for a long time. It’s been in and out of testing the past month or so, so hopefully we are getting close!
And we can’t forget about a new version of the Flatbed Service Truck shown off; the Logging version! There might be a few too many big logs on that truck, but it seems like it’s holding it alright, so rock on man! These mods are all either with Giants for testing, in testing, or being worked on right now for all platforms.
The Tactical Farmer
Tactical Farmer is continuing work on his John Deere 1023e/1025r Pack, with lots of progress being made recently in his live streams, and not so much with post updates. The past 2 days, he’s streamed twice working on the cabin and a rear weight. Information might be wide-spread on this mod, but he’s still working on it! This is also his first project like this, so it will still take a little time, and that’s ok.
82 Studio
82 Studio has submitted an update for his 50ft Gooseneck Trailer with the help of Gizmo Quasar. The update is currently with Giants awaiting testing for all platforms, and will fix the sliding issue that has plagued the 50’ Gooseneck for a while now, at least since the release of the Platinum DLC.
He’s also got a mod pending release; the TLX 5th Wheel Winch for all platforms. You WILL need the Platinum Expansion activated on your game-save for the winch to work, but that’s it. Also, big shoutie-outie to 82 Studio, as today is his birthday! If you get a chance, drop by his YouTube or Facebook today and wish him Happy Birthday!
Custom Modding
Next up, Custom Modding shows off how the attachments for their Valmetal Project will work, at least that’s what I think they have shown off, and it’s pretty cool! It appears that when you get an attachment for their tanker, you’ll have to manually attach it.
You’ll have at least these 4 attachments for the spreading system, and they will each work differently. Unusually this type of customization opinion is just that, a customization option in the store. I like how they’ve stepped outside the line and done it this way. It’s not just a thing, it’s a system!
JHHG Modding
JHHG Modding shows off a new corn head pack coming in collaboration with Kelderman, the John Deere Corn Headers Corn Reels! There will be 8 row, 12, and 16 row options. Currently JHHG are in talks with Kelderman about getting their brand licenses ingame for an all-platform release. This is pretty cool and offers players one more way to farm realistically! I love it!
WOLFex Modding
Back in early December, WOLFex Modding announced a new mod that he was working on; the LKT Turbo, and we haven’t heard about it since. Well today, he made the special announcement that the mod WILL be coming to modhub, and it’s got a new rear double-winch to showcase, too! Overall we really don’t know much about this tractor, but just by these screenshots we can tell it’s about a medium-sized tractor with a front blade and rear double-winch for pulling trees. I also can’t tell completely, but it looks like an articulating tractor. Whether there will be other customization options for field use remains to be seen, but it would seem we have far-less specialty tractors like this one than players could use, so I’m guessing this will be welcomed with open arms!
One other thing, WOLFex is working with a name that we haven’t heard from since March of last year; White Bull Modding! They are working together to bring 3 more mods to FS22:
- INO Vvp Subsoiler
- INO Duplex Back Mulcher
- And the INO Dominator Mulcher
These 3 mods are still works-in-progress, but it’s great to see a legendary name like White Bull Modding back in the news!
Sleutjes Modding
Sleutjes Modding have finished up their John Deere 1210A Auger Wagon and it has been sent off for testing for all platforms. Unfortunately initial specs and information is locked to their Patreon Account, so we’ll just have to wait till the mod is out to see it for ourselves!
Poorboy Modding
Poorboy Modding has some updated information for us today on his Hickory Valley Update; the map did fail testing as Giants requested the map receive a border. Additionally, there was some flickery in the asphalt that was added to the map, and Giants have requested more details be added. It seems that the requirements for maps, even on an update, have increased. All these things have been fixed and the map is back awaiting testing.
Oh, and his Piney Run update is pending release, so that’s great! We’ll likely see that today!
And thirdly, Rogue River Valley that was shown off on Sunday is also with Giants awaiting testing. However, with the waiting time at 8 workdays, it could be a week or even 2 before we see some of these in testing. So just hang tight.
TaylorFarms
And lastly today, TaylorFarms brings us more information on his Prairie Farm 4x that he’s trying to get on all platforms. The file size is 205mb. And for comparison, Calmsden is almost 600mb. And according to the test runner that modders use, the slot count is comparable to the standard version. Even with the massive starting equipment, it takes up less than half the slots available for old gen! (PS4 & XB1) It seems like Taylor is really trying to get this on Consoles, making it the first Crossplay-Compatible 4x map. Now, that’s not to say that it will be, but he’s trying. And he’s trying really hard.
