Straw Harvest DLC for FS22

January 25, 2024

There has been a new free update to Farming Simulator 22. It is the Straw Harvest DLC made by Creative Mesh and which had it’s premier in Farming Simulator 17 that now exist also for the latest game in the series. So once again there is the possibility for a pellet industry and new ways to make use of the straw from the fields.

With the free Straw Harvest Pack, we get new powerful machinery from manufacturers Krone and Bressel und Lade. One of the machine highlights is the world’s first mobile pellet harvester – the Krone Premos 5000, which produces pellets by collecting straw and hay swaths from the field. Alternatively, it can be operated stationary with an additional bale shredder. Also included are two balers, the Krone BiG Pack 1290 HDP II and Comprima V180 XC alongside other machines for handling bales and pallets.

To add another layer to the gameplay, a versatile and configurable industry hall allows for storage and processing. While produced pellets can be sold, used for animal bedding, or fed to animals, the industry hall allows more possibilities through configurations – it can be used as an empty hall for parking vehicles as well as storing bales and pallets, or there could be added a hall crane to easier move bulk material, bales, and pallets. Adding an automatic palletizer, the pellets can be processed yet another step and sold at an even higher profit.

Straw Harvest can be downloaded directly in Farming Simulator 22 via the in-game ModHub and is as stated an entirely free DLC.

Case IH Farmall mini-DLC

Case IH Farmall mini-DLC

November 11, 2023

A new little mini-DLC has just been released for Farming Simulator 22 in order to celebrate the 100 year anniversary for the Case IH Farmall line of tractors.

The Case IH Farmall Anniversary Pack contains three items: the first is the Case IH Farmall 1066 Hydro, a model which was manufactured between 1971 and 1976 by International Harvester – the IH in today’s Case IH – and this classic six-cylinder diesel tractor is still going strong on farms and in vintage tractor circles today. The second is the modern Case IH Farmall C Series, a smaller-sized multipurpose tractor with 120 hp, and probably a bit more comfortable than its fifty year old predecessor. The third piece in the pack is the L630 frontloader for the Farmall C.

The price for the pack on Steam and on Giants’ own site is 1,49 €.

FS22 Oxbo Pack DLC

August 23, 2023

The next DLC for Farming Simulator 22 will drop on September 19 and features the Oxbo brand. Oxbo, which this far has been represented in the base game by one single sprayer, is a manufacturer of specialty harvesting and controlled application technology.

With the coming pack that lone sprayer can get company by four (or seven, depending on how you choose to count) new pieces of Oxbo equipment:

  • Oxbo 6030 – Harvester configuration
  • Oxbo 6030 – Sprayer configuration
  • Oxbo AT5105 – LNMS configuration
  • Oxbo AT5105 – DNMS configuration
  • Oxbo AT4103 – LNMS configuration
  • Oxbo AT4103 – DNMS configuration
  • Oxbo 2340

The star of this pack probably is the Oxbo 6030 multi-function grape harvester, which is a very versatile machine with configurable harvester and sprayer attachments.

Karhuvaara again

Karhuvaara again

August 18, 2023

At Karhuvaara the farming continues. The most important on the to-do list at the moment being mowing some of the grass fields for silage and cow feed. The twenty milk cows might not be the largest herd, but they still need their feed.

Downhill mowing.
Old tractors can still do good work.

Simultaneously with the grassland work there’s still things left to out on the barley field. Or former barley field since all that’s left now is the straw. The quite important straw that in due time will become bedding for the cows. But in order to become that it first needs to be collected in neat little bales.

Bale pick up in process.

Once the straw bales have been safely brought back to the farm and stashed, it’s time to refill some other stocks as well. Both seeds and fertilizer will soon come in handy.

Shopping time.

The Valtra and the MP-Lift are both mods made by Farmari99 and available at the official modhub. Volvo BM 2654 tractor is part of the Platinum Expansion Pack DLC, while the Pöttinger forage wagon and the Krone mower both come in the Hay & Forage Pack DLC.
