I use controller for pc and controls on a controller is LB+start for anyone playing on consoles, should be the same. **edit** I’m using an Xbox controller, PS4 should be L1+start.
Not trying to be a bummer but i think seasons be left to map makers so they can give player more flexabillity to play in beginning with bennificial starting equipment ,Or prep map before you start seasons with useful starting equipment thats not idol for start of map play like Minnesota where your field equip idol with no funds for job equip at beginning,like forestry work or transport.
Depends on the season length you pick. 3 day seasons a month is a day. 24 day seasons a month is 8days. As you know there are 12 more ths to a year. There are 4 seasons a year. There are 3 months per season and 3 season transistors per season in game thus each transition is a month of real time equivalent.
Cheers for this, I have been trying to play season and keep animals but they keep dying. I play on pc and been playing on Sussex Farm, which is seasons ready and I have feeding them everything and they die within the first day
The straw has no effect on animal health it just determines wether you have manure or slurry it’s the food water and how clean the pasture is that determines the health of the cows.
Now to really realisim things up milking time 4am n 4pm time between could be when u move your herd to pasture so mods our creative modders thought of still relavent. X(
I’m a little confused still by transport. Has seasons taken transport bonuses out of the equation? If I go to the animal dealer will the prices be cheaper, and (for beef) when I go to sell will the price be better than if I sell directly from the yard? Console player here so I’m still brand new to Seasons, and I have only bought a couple of head of Saler so far just trying it out.
Just an observation question. It seems sugar beets / potatoes were remove from the starch requirement of the pig food requirements in FS19 Seasons, or it is simply not showing up on the animal UI screen. Why or is my eyes deceiving me?
How do u even store enough food for the animals with only 1 harvest/year. I am fairly new to animals in season and need to refill there food every 2 days or they run out i have around 30 cows atm. Is the timing simular even with this many animals or do u have a bigger timeframe to work around.
30 cows shouldn't eat to much. On my south island save I have just over 30 cows and seasons reports them eating about 150K of product over the course of a year. Thats just over 35 bales if you use TMR thats maybe 18 silage bales and 9 hay and 9 straw bales. The amount you feed daily differs depending on the number of day seasons you pick but its normalized over a year so 3 day seasons players feed alot more per day than 12 day seasons players for example but over the course of the year the total amount feed is the same. 3 day seasons is 12 game day year and 12 day seasons is 48 game day year.
@@Shiftry87 if you have that many cows then you should be scaling your farming to support them. its all fairly linear so just triple the demands for 100 cows fro 30. start small and work your way up. you should get at least 2 cuts per year of grass.
Farmer Klein I have an issue on oakfield farm, i have had seasons from the start and now when i bought cows the cleanliness says 0% and they dont eat anything and they will start dying after one day, the same with sheep. Do you know why it does this?
Hi ! I don't understand, I play with the Seasons mod, and I have the animal worker mod that fills the food, water, straw, etc... ; and who cleans the enclosure; but when I buy cows (Holsteins in this case), their health is 80% and goes down immediately. In 1 day in game, my animals end up dying. I do not understand why their health goes down when all the gauges are green ... would you have an idea of what is happening and advice so that I can have animals in good health. Even if I have to touch the Season mod file :)
Sounds li e a conflict. Try with out this animal worker mod. Try with an in game cow pen. Your hust going to need to work thru the various combinations.
@@FarmerKlein Ok thank you ! I will see which mod is in conflict ... but it will take a long time ;-( . I will start by seeing if the animal worker mod and season mod are in conflict by launching a game with both. Thank you for your quick and very efficient response!
I got a question and it’s got nothing to do with this video but I saved my game and then I turned off the game and came back sometime later and for some reason some of my placeables disappeared can I get some help on the reason why it may have done that so I can avoid making the same mistake again?
Either the placeables where unchecked from the mod activation page or they where bad mods and corrupted the save game xml and as a result some things are missing.
Farmer Klein I was talking about the sell points went missing but I did roll back my saved game to a previous version only lost about four hours of time
Farmer Klein I also want to find out if I close the game down in a wrong way like go to windows are just right click and close the game without closing properly could that corrupt the game as well?
i got a bug with mine i give them all the sutff they need but they wont eat from the trof and lose health over time and start dieing before they r 3 days old
Before there 10 years old. Really I sell them when I figure there's either consuming more food than there worth to keep around or I think the price is good compared to what I paid.
you probably dont have very many and your playing a long season duration? The troughs have a set minimum capacity so if you have just a few animals or are playing a long season duration or both the amount they eat will be low as compared to the minimum fill levels.
@@Lucas-oq8pr Then it sounds like you have some other conflict there should be no other mods activated that affect animals feed or overall care requirements.
Noooooo... I liked the breading and money system of the 1st seasons with cattle. It was more realistic. Now i dont even want it. Just as i was getting ready to buy the game.
sorry, they changed animals around totally from even the FS17 seasons. I think that is what your talking about with respect to the 1st seasons with cattle. Unless your talking about seasons 19 before console release. If the later is the case they haven't changed the actual behavior just tweaked the feed levels some. There is always game play with out seasons unless seasons was the only reason you would buy the game in the first place.
@@FarmerKlein yes i was talking about before console release on 19. Never played17. I think the cattle selling and buy prices was more realistic. Around $1000 for a fully mature cow on the meat side, at least that's what they go for around my area, also i wish that a bull was the breeder and not insemination. And yes seasons was the only reason i wanted the game. I also don't like that they gave only the option of training other people's horses and not owning any. But i like everything else about seasons mod, so maybe I'll get it, its not like they made it just for me to where I'd like everything. Lol.
If your a PC player you could with some digging and testing tweak the prices of the cows to fit what you are looking for. The bull for breeding and horses though is not something easily changed. I know the horse thing was changed to give more balance to the game play for different season lengths. I was part of the closed testing team and I asked them how they where going to normalize horses as base game behavior would benefit long season duration. 3 day seasons is 12 day years and a horse would reach max value in 10 days so nearly a full year. Move to 6 day seasons and a 24 day game year you can get max horse value twice per year. The problem gets real bad at the extreme of 24 day seasons with 96 game days per year you would be able to roll your horses to max value 9 times a game year. With the livery value the same horse will pay the same amount per year with care being the same across all season duration options. If your on console then your kind of stuck with how seasons works sadly.
@@FarmerKlein Both I've only played FS19 on console but want it for pc. I wasn't sure if seasons mod would work with mods that changed the breed systems or not. If it can, that would be great. I've seen some animal mods i liked a little better.

I wish the horse system was that you could have livery horses, and your own horses.
Super useful. New to FS19 and Seasons. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Awesome guide! Lots of great information in one video. Thanks 👍👍💓
Morning, looking at seasons weather forecast. Have no questions at this time.
Thank you for this wonderful and informative video. I was literally pulling my hair out trying to figure out where my animal info page was lol.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Farmer Klein! Can't wait to play Seasons today on console
It should have been out right about the time this video was released.
@@FarmerKlein yeah lol. I had to get ready for work though 🙄 BUT i have a hot date tonight with Seasons.
I use controller for pc and controls on a controller is LB+start for anyone playing on consoles, should be the same. **edit** I’m using an Xbox controller, PS4 should be L1+start.
got the symbol now, Seasons is updated guys

Great video. Will spreading your manure etc back in the pasture improve the grazing?
No.
How many days does one month have?? (In seasons 19 obviously )
Depends on the season length you pick. 3 day seasons a month is a day. 24 day seasons a month is 8days. As you know there are 12 more ths to a year. There are 4 seasons a year.

they need water also.
@@FarmerKlein thanks for your reply I use the animal pen extension mod, which is on the mod hub
You paid for the install of the water?
@@smacleanandgreen3918
Hi there is no option to pay for the water
How do you set it up to show them by area instead of a long list of animals?

Well duh it was an update---TY Love the vids
The straw has no effect on animal health it just determines wether you have manure or slurry it’s the food water and how clean the pasture is that determines the health of the cows.
Straw does factor into the health %.
@@FarmerKlein do you need to add straw to have slurry then??
@@KaiserStormTracking no you get slurry by default if you add manure you stop getting slurry and start getting manure.

Console player here so I’m still brand new to Seasons, and I have only bought a couple of head of Saler so far just trying it out.
if you pickup or deliver your animals you wotn pay a transport fee. also in seasons there is no transport fee for chickens.
Is there any difference with manure in seasons? For instance, would I lose some nitrogen if I simply spread manure versus injecting into the soil?
The detail is not there for that. manure gives 1 level of fertilization regardless of when its applied.
Just an observation question. It seems sugar beets / potatoes were remove from the starch requirement of the pig food requirements in FS19 Seasons, or it is simply not showing up on the animal UI screen. Why or is my eyes deceiving me?
Yep, removed. not sure why just no need for root crops for pigs to have 100% food need.
@@FarmerKlein Danke.

Mine is doing the same thing on Sussex farm.
What if you don't see the Animal Symbol? What should u do?
Its in the seasons menu.
What age would you sell the cows at or weight of cow
Before there 10 years old. Really I sell them when I figure there's either consuming more food than there worth to keep around or I think the price is good compared to what I paid.
How are your units set to pounds instead of kilograms?
Its an option in the menu.

Why are animals less healthy when producing slurry? It's lose of money or not?
Game limit because to get slurry your not giving them straw. They produce less milk and maybe gain less weight. Not a real big deal.
