Being able to exit without saving is most important on console. Took me a few catastrophic mistakes in landscaping before I learned to turn off auto save, 😳😂
Another tip with painting textures, you can use shift+tab to cycle through your options in reverse order rather than going all the way around. Same with tabbing through vehicles. It seems a lot of people don't know that, just like they didn't know that in older FS versions you could access your bank account anywhere on the map with the insert key instead of having to find the ATM. So few people actually knew that that they ended up creating a separate menu for it in the escape menu because of people complaining about it.
@@FarmerCop Hmm never considered that, if you go into Steam and then settings you can change what button you use to open the Steam menu, could change it to ctrl+tab or something maybe.
Awesome video man. I've been trying to level land all wrong. Saved me from a lot of headaches. If I didn't subscribe yesterday, this video would have convinced me to do so today. Great work!!
Thanks for the video, landscaping tool, is a bit of a dark art :) The "terrain.heightmap.png" in the save game folder on PC contains the terrain information and can be swapped with another save game of the same map. If things go badly wrong. Always backup your files before making any changes.
Thank you so much FC really needed this I never knew how to use the strength wondered how you made the smith tool look so thick lol 🤣 my landscapes will now be super smooth
This is the how to we all need. I have learned to turn auto save off and save right before attempting any landscaping (Farmer Cop pro tip). My biggest complaint is there is no “undo” button for landscaping and placeables. Trying to get all the landscaping and having hills is the hardest thing Ive found in this game.
one important overtip about your last tip, buildings outside your own area are not usable, you can place them but not use, you can build a silo but not load and unload
Nice tutorials, it took me a lot of painful attempts at landscaping on ravenport before i finally got it down and didn't even know about the easy mod back then lol. Now, I have done lots of it, not the expertise of some but i think it looks good for most of the tutorials i posted on landscaping. I wouldn't mind your feedback on them.
Thank you so much for this video, it's so very helpful! I've been struggling a lot with landscaping, will try again tonight! Just one silly question.. Is there any way of smoothing the land without an actual mouse? I'm playing the game on my laptop and I'm always using my touchpad, I don't even own a mouse anymore. I can left-click and right-click (and hold left and right) with it, but no scrolling wheel.. Can't really use one eighter when playing since I'm sitting / hanging on the couch while playing the game..
This was fun right to the good stuff right away and the other things I might like after Just wanted to figure out how to make it look nice and smooth and everything else was also fantastic and good to know definitely sub I’m new to farming sim can’t was for 22
When I am landscaping and hit the raise or lower terrain (left or right mouse button) if I click it one time it doesn’t do anything until I hold it down? Do you need to double click? Or is there another way just to raise/lower the terrain one level at a time?
I notice the same thing it just takes a second to kick in which can cause issues. I just hold for about 1 sec then release, i just work on the timing so that it only raises or lowers a bit at a time
@@FarmerCop do you know if they'll be changing that in the future or is there any chance we could get that global editor thing that is on the pc, thanks for the reply
I unfortunately screwed up and let my cousin play and he Spam X to lower widest road and a to raise and he screwed up my field and cleared all the grass from them and not or plain green I need help resetting all of it is there a way to do it without starting a new world please help
I didn't realise that landscaping was so expensive. I'm new to the game and had only got just over £100k and before I knew it a sign came up saying i had insufficient funds to continue! I thought 'WHAT'?? Oh shit! Then looked for the undo button but nope! Fortunately I didn't have autosave on. Phew! Did have to re-do an hour's realtime work, but definitely could have been worse!
The map comes with a couple of signs near the store on wood posts. If you cut one of the signs with a chainsaw, it will remove all rocks on the map. The other one removes all trees if you cut it. You have to buy the land that the signs are on to cut them.
So um, he didn't mention about removing the trees 😄 anyone know how to edit them in landscape mode or i have to cut and remove the stump for the whole area?
Landscaping is stupidly expensive and if you aren’t using government subsidy then it takes forever to get the money to get what you wanna do with a lot of places!!!
Thanks. The game needs a lot of explanation. Nothing is made clear, mistakes are expensive. The game is a torture of walking in the dark. Does landscaping cost money? Oops, it does. Does it destroy fields? Yep, it does. Do these headers fit on that harvester? Oops, they don't. Try for lease price which is insane at the start or buy and feel sorry. Or load, load 1000 times, load after every thing tried. And the map... goodness, no farm lands are that hilly! That's ridiculous! It's literally the worst land for agriculture that could be found. 30 degree slopes, San Fran vibes. Sigh...

God...now finally I know how to level the goddamn terrain. TY so much!

I use steam and shift tab opens the stsam menu haha, do you know if that can be disabled? Haha

searched this up and your the first to pop up. yeeesssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks man.

Me too I was like oh, never knew that
when you like the video 5 seconds in, not cuz your a fan, but cuz he's got a great narrative voice xD

I really do think not having an undo button was an oversight haha
Really help get my ground level. Brilliant video full of information, many thanks.
Glad it helped you out Jim :)
Thank you for making these videos, these are the best explanations I've ever seen on youtube. I appreciate it

one important overtip about your last tip, buildings outside your own area are not usable, you can place them but not use, you can build a silo but not load and unload
Thank you!
Excellent vid, helped alot

Love the videos, keep it up!
When your tabbing true the textures shif tab will bring you back
Wow. That is lifechanging for me hahaha I had no idea, thank you!!
Appreciate this video! However the arrow keys don't change the radius. What is the mouse control for that and what does X(-) or X(+) mean?

Id be happy to wtach your tutorials :)
If you place a low spot next to a water source will it fill up with water ? eg making a canal
Depends, if the map maker has a water plane going across the map then yes otherwise no, No Mans Land has a water plane across the whole map
@@FarmerCop Awesome, thanks for the reply. Follow up question - If there is a dam in a paddock, would livestock drink from it ?
thank you soo much!!
Thanks buddy
This is what I have been looking for! Thank you for easing my search. 🙏 #BackTheBlue
Thank you :)
Best Video Ever 😀👍

I know I’m late how do u add in the money with the government stuff like how do u go to it
This was fun right to the good stuff right away and the other things I might like after
Just wanted to figure out how to make it look nice and smooth and everything else was also fantastic and good to know definitely sub
I’m new to farming sim can’t was for 22
Can you also place lights on working areas
You can place lights in areas yes
Extended placable allows you to destroy the trees? I was trying to flatten the bill off the starting area in ravenport and the trees blocked me.
It allows you in general to landscape or place around them but to get rid of them you still have to do it the old fashioned way
When I am landscaping and hit the raise or lower terrain (left or right mouse button) if I click it one time it doesn’t do anything until I hold it down? Do you need to double click? Or is there another way just to raise/lower the terrain one level at a time?

Too late! I wasted thousands trying to figure out the landscaping, but thanks anyway, your videos are awesome
Is there any way to remove those watch towers on the Felsbrunn map?
Not that I am aware of, maybe try the map objects hider?
@@FarmerCop Is that a mod?
Maybe a dum question if you paint glass does it grow grass ?
Its supposed to but some maps it does not do that, but in general yes :)
@@FarmerCop thanks
Is there any keyboard shortcut for the landscaping tool? Having to go through the store every time is annoying..
Sadly there is not
Please do tutorial videos on pleasant valley county 16X map
It contains factories ,industries and more....
I dont have shovel help?
Does government subsidy disable earnable trophies on ps4?
Don’t think so
How do you get the mod itself? do you have to be in multiplayer? somebody help me
This isnt a mod it is a feature in the game
@@FarmerCop Is there A way that I can turn it on?
Is there a way of removing the buildings on console?
Sadly there isn't
@@FarmerCop do you know if they'll be changing that in the future or is there any chance we could get that global editor thing that is on the pc, thanks for the reply
I unfortunately screwed up and let my cousin play and he Spam X to lower widest road and a to raise and he screwed up my field and cleared all the grass from them and not or plain green I need help resetting all of it is there a way to do it without starting a new world please help
If you are on PC you can use the easy dev commands to reset a field to whatever you want
What is government subsidies for console? Is it a mod? Can someone please help me out
It is a mod and it is for console as well as PC, iy adds in 100,000 dollars per hour per sign you have placed, its essentially a money cheat
The think I'd like to know is how to change the keybindings.
If you go into the menu and go to the keybindings page you can change them from there. The menu is in there after you load into the game
I didn't realise that landscaping was so expensive. I'm new to the game and had only got just over £100k and before I knew it a sign came up saying i had insufficient funds to continue! I thought 'WHAT'?? Oh shit! Then looked for the undo button but nope! Fortunately I didn't have autosave on. Phew! Did have to re-do an hour's realtime work, but definitely could have been worse!
It would be awesome if we could add water!!
I agree :)
Can you landscape with a plow?
You can create fields but you cant actually landscape
@@FarmerCop Really that's a bummer. I am trying to do this as clean as I can.
The fact that there is a smooth button and I've always ignored its presence 😅
Is there a way to remove the rocks in No Mans Land?
The map comes with a couple of signs near the store on wood posts. If you cut one of the signs with a chainsaw, it will remove all rocks on the map. The other one removes all trees if you cut it. You have to buy the land that the signs are on to cut them.
@@SouthernMan72 Thanks for the advice, it worked!
@@johnkarrenberg9897 You're welcome. Happy farming!
So um, he didn't mention about removing the trees 😄 anyone know how to edit them in landscape mode or i have to cut and remove the stump for the whole area?
Landscape mode does not allow tree removal, you have to use tools anx equipment to remove them or mods
@@FarmerCop yeah had to do it the old fashioned way, now dealing with rocks. Thanks for the reply.. I'm just rediscovering my games since covid 😁
I turned off auto save and it still saved. any idea why?
Not sure why it would do that if autosave is off
Nice video
In my game i dont have the icon to landscape
Can sombody help me ?
Landscaping tool is not available for me! How to get this?
It should be, go into the store
@@FarmerCop Yes but the tool is not available in store!
How do you delete what you've done
You cant, make sure to save before you land scape a ton as mentioned in the video
On my ps4 I don't even have an option to use landscaping tool??? Anybody know why? Or how I can access it? Is it a mod? Or what
How do you activate the smooth option?
Open the help menu to show you the various keybindings
All I want is the ability to dig dirt and flat ground with a machine!😫
SAME. I think it would be awesome to do that
Didn't mean to put it on my farm land how do I put it back
There is no undo button, if its there its there forever
Landscaping is stupidly expensive and if you aren’t using government subsidy then it takes forever to get the money to get what you wanna do with a lot of places!!!
Wish I could move the square tool 360 degrees
Map name please
Felsbrun
its not working I don't see shovel
Any one up for a drinking game take a shot every time he says it is what it is
Who makes a landscape tool in a game with no undo?!
You have no idea how many worlds ive deleted because if fucked the landscaping😂
This gets EXPENSIVE.
5 million for all that landscaping!? I was mad that i spent $80,000 by accident lol.
Hahaha yes very pricy
