Online and video games have really evolved over the past few decades. From block games and shooting balloons we’ve moved up to simulation games; games that mimic our reality and culture and afford hours of enjoyment with their crystal clear graphics and lightning-fast speeds. The Farming Simulator label is one such interesting online simulation game series.
The Farming Simulator game series has been developed by Giants Software. Currently, there are 7 versions of the game with Farming simulator 15 being the latest. There are both PC and mobile versions of the game. This simulation video game brings to the screen the real farming experience. So, you grow and sell crops, breed livestock, acquire farming equipment and expand your farm as you go.
However, money is at the base of it all. The more money you have, the more you can think about developing your farm. You are provided with a reserve cash to get you started. But you realize it depletes soon and you have to earn more to make future farm purchases. Here is a list of the 5 legitimate ways to earn money in the Farming Simulator 2015 game.
1. Grow and sell crops –
Crops are the main item on a farm. Thus, buying and selling crops is the first way to earn money. You are free to choose from and grow different crop types. A tip is to choose high-earning cash crops. Fertilizing the crop increases the crop yield thereby increasing profit. It also gives you more experience when you harvest the crop. Choose a cheap fertilizer so you don’t spend too much on it.
When it comes to selling crops, do so when the price is high. Don’t be in a hurry to sell the harvested crops. You can wait for the demand to increase as it automatically raises the prices. You can check if the price is higher or lower than normal by checking the icons located beside the crop. You can also see what buyers are paying for a particular crop.
2. Missions –
There are missions generated at every level. You have to complete a given task in a given time frame. They include three types namely mowing grass, delivering crops and transporting cargo. Mowing missions earn less money, while missions involving transporting cargo have higher profits. You earn a reward, a sum of money, for every successfully completed mission. Completing a mission faster also increases your chances of earning added monetary bonuses.
3. Lumbering –
Cutting wood is one way to earn money at the start of your game. This is a new feature on the Farming Simulator 2015 game. You can manage forested areas by cutting them. The machines you need are a chainsaw and a trailer. When you have collected enough logs and wood chips, you can go to the shop and sell them. You can also unload the wood near the train.
4. Breed livestock –
Some of the animals you can breed on your farm are chicken, sheep and cows. Chickens are the easiest to keep while cows are the most time-consuming. However, in terms of earning potential, its cow husbandry that really pays off.
5. Placing objects –
You can place objects at various locations on your farm and leave them to generate money. Some of the objects you can place are greenhouses, solar collectors, wind energy converters and bee houses. All these generate a certain amount of money on an hourly basis.
Don’t sweat it when it comes to making money. Enjoy ploughing, sowing, fertilizing and harvesting and use these strategies to collect money.
