Farm Simulator Devlog #6 – Introducing the vigilant scarecrow guard!


Hello, farmers!

Today we're happy to introduce one of the key features of Farm Simulator: the Scarecrow Guard. This vigilant guard will become an invaluable asset to your farm, protecting your crops from the constant threats of the natural world.

[h2]Scarecrow Guard: A Feathery Deterrent[/h2]



Scarecrow Guardians are not just a simple addition; they are an integral part of your farming journey. Placed strategically in the midst of your fields, these guards tirelessly scare away feathered intruders, ensuring that your crops remain untouched and intact.

[h2]Careful cultivation: balancing the forces of nature[/h2]

In Farm Simulator, we delve into the complex balance of nature. It's not just about planting and waiting; it's about meticulous care. Cultivation is an art, and in our game it is divided into two critical aspects: manual care and mechanical maintenance.

[h3]Hand care:[/h3]
  • Weeding: Keep your fields pristine by manually removing invasive weeds that steal vital nutrients from your crops.
  • Pest control: Vigilantly control pests with organic methods, ensuring your crops remain pest-free.
  • Spraying: Manually apply targeted organic solutions, protecting delicate plants from disease.


[h3]Mechanical maintenance:[/h3]
  • Tractor spraying: Use your reliable tractor for larger-scale spraying, effectively covering vast areas.
  • Trapping mechanisms: Deploy strategic traps designed to capture harmful pests, including our Scarecrow Guard, a natural deterrent.




[h2]Actual Pest Impact: A Challenge for Agriculture[/h2]

In Farm Simulator, pests and parasites are not just nuisances - they are serious threats. They will have a direct impact on crop yields, leading to serious consequences for the farm. An effective pest control strategy will be the foundation for success in farming.

We would love your opinions on this important aspect of Farm Simulator's gameplay. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to improve the game, providing a realistic, challenging and engaging farming experience for all players.

Stay tuned for more! We'll be exploring these themes further in upcoming devlogs, so make sure to follow for the latest updates.

Have a successful farming experience,
