The franchise is not available on GOG unfortunately.

FS will probably never be as you stream the satellite data.
At best low res map packs.

Which satellite data are you referring ? I played the game a few years ago and it was offline (I think). Maybe you misread the title as Flight Simulator ? Or there is something I do not get ?

Oh whoops. Yeah I thought FS was referring to Flight Sim :')
But point still stands for that.
As for Farming Sim idk. The only time I played it was on my 3DS playing the FS13 demo.
Was okay to play with.

As a fan of the original, I still haven't played Alan Wake 2 because I refuse to buy anything from the Epic Game store.
That being said, I also haven't played any of the farming sim games, though that's because they look incredibly boring--no offense to those who enjoy them, they're just not for me.

It's not a games job to protect the children, but the parents job. It's pretty weird we've got to this point here.

Can you grow hemp in farm simulator
perviouslyiner@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y
Definitely. Can't remember if it's in the base game (update: no, it's a mod) but it works like cotton and tobacco.

You can if you get it on PC and install mods to be able to.

It's not farm sim, but Project Zomboid has some decent farming mechanics (and a shitload of mods). A lot of the very popular mods just add drugs into the game. A couple of those highest rated ones add a ton of weed stuff to the game (papers; grinders; bongs; pipes; farmable seeds and hemp with different strains, stages of growth, and even disease the plants can catch). Modders are wild.

i wonder how much of that has to do with the e sports scene.

Who is the market for these simulator games? I don't know anyone who plays them. They don't look bad to me, but there must be a type of gamer I'm blind to.
Edit: great answers thanks all.

Germans, the game is a #1 Bestseller there every time it releases.

It seems so niche but somehow more mainstream than horror games like Alan Wake. It always blows me away how popular simulators are despite not knowing anyone who plays them.

They get you in different ways. Maybe Dave the Diver hooks you with some fun farm and restaurant mechanics. Then you make a little garden in Valheim and that feels pretty good. You think maybe you'll experiment with a bit of Stardew. Then next thing you know, BAM you're mainlining Farming Simulator-- Ironically at first, and then not.
