So instead of buying breeding stock and breeding the cattle out to produce calves to be later sold as beef, we decided that we wanted to simulate a feeder operation. With Beef cattle what we wanted to do is try something a little different. BreedsĬattle were separated into two groups.
Each breed we chose had to fit the category they were filling and introduce their unique natural characteristics into the game. By doing this, the player can now take their own route with animals and really pinpoint what they want to do.įor cattle, tremendous work was done to simulate a variety of different systems such as realistic milk production, beef production, feed consumption etc based on breed, age, weight and health. Some breeds within a species have a different use than others such as dairy versus beef with cattle. As some of you may notice, now each species has their own individual breeds that they are based off of.Įach breed was chosen carefully based on a variety of factors that cemented their purpose in the game and made sure they were a perfect fit for our purposes. We thought this was very boring, bland and most importantly unrealistic. In the base game, all we had was a base animal with the same stats and the only difference was the variations in color we got to choose from. This data have been gathered from industry professionals, studies and knowledgeable individuals alike and have allowed us to truly represent how animals should have been represented in the game in the first place.
From Cattle to Pigs and Horses to Chickens, every single species in the game has been worked from the ground up to operate more realistically, based on real life data and specially designed systems. The new version of Seasons for FS19 brings a plethora of new features and a new way of looking at animals in the game. Note that all numbers in this post are prone to change for rebalancing. In this post he will be explaining more about the animals, their breeds and their design. Together with him and his knowledge we created a system that we think is interesting, challenging and close enough to real life.
He has helped us with the new animal system in Seasons 19 for Farming Simulator 19.Īdam has contacted countless sources, such as farmers, nutritionists, veterinarians and agri-governments, to gather the best data possible. This is a guest post written by Adam, also known as Zugs.
