While the tutorial exists, the sheer breadth of FS22 remains overwhelming. Figuring out specific fertilizing stages or soil care still requires a fair amount of external research (or YouTube tutorials).
If you want a game where you can lose hours to meticulous planning and satisfying loops, yes . Just be prepared to have a wiki page open in the background for your first few harvests.
The standout feature of FS22 is the production chains. v1.7.0.0 ensures these systems—from turning wheat into flour to baking cakes—run smoother with better UI feedback. It transforms the game from a "driving sim" into a deep economic management tool.
Even in v1.7.0.0, the "AI Helpers" can still be a bit erratic. They occasionally get stuck on fences or miss patches of field, requiring occasional manual intervention.
