Game mechanics

Compared to previous games from the series, Farming Simulator 2011 for PC offers many new features and fixes. Nonetheless, the basic concept remains the same. Once again, we play as young farmer, who learns reality of farmer’s life step by step. We are given a 4 square kilometers area and must gather resources to establish a modern farm.

There are several tractors in local shop and all kinds of combines with different power, size and effectiveness, as well as over 30 other machines (ploughs, seeders, balers, cultivators, lawnmowers and trailers). Some of them can be controlled by an A.I., assisting us in some tasks. A huge novelty is introduction of cattle breeding. It requires feeding cows on a regular basis, but let us gather natural fertilizer, as well as milk for sale.
