Farming Simulator 15

Farming Simulator 15 is the 2015 edition of the farming simulation series. It largely continues the gameplay from the previous games in a sandbox environment. Players start with a small farm and by managing it efficiently, the scope can be expanded while profits bring in new and better gear such as powerful tractors, harvesters and high capacity trailers.

As in the previous games, almost every action, such as connecting attachments, sowing, fertilization, plowing, harvesting, taking produce to the market and feeding animals, need to be done manually. Two new types of activities for this release are animal husbandry and forestry, but at a high starting cost. For forestry players can plant and cut down trees. The wood can be sold to a lumber mill and wood chippings to a heating plant.

The game offers two types of settlements to choose from to build a farm: Bjornholm with Scandinavian influences and Westbridge Hills with a US-influence. The gameplay is identical for both, with similar delivery points such as train stations and windmills, but the American town has larger fields, making it more challenging.

There are 20 new licensed manufacturers for equipment, including New Holland tractors, MAN trucks, Ponsse, Case IH, Deutz-Fahr, with a total of 140 vehicles and farming tools. The game also introduces the ability to control washing equipment from a first-person perspective to clean machinery and implements.

The game features cooperative online multiplayer for all versions except PS3 and Xbox 360, where up to six players can work together on a single-player game while managing each other's farms.
