Farmers who are particularly dedicated and involved in their town's community will find a wealth of new building opportunities in Farming Simulator 25.

Whether you just want to start a profitable side business or want to make a lasting mark on the region. Let's take a look at some new construction projects!


In addition to production chains where you produce bread or cakes in the bakery, flour in the grain mill, or canned goods in the soup factory, there are some very special repeatable constructions. Do you remember the piano maker in Zielonka?

Not only will the artisan workshop for finely crafted pianos make a comeback and open branches outside its hometown in Riverbend Springs or Hutan Pantai - if you want to invest in their expansion to new territories. But there are other new businesses waiting for your involvement.


Established in Riverbend Springs in 1904, Silver Shaft Wagons still produces some very fancy horse-drawn carriages. Requiring wooden boards as well as fabrics and rope to build one wagon. The final product is one a love letter to craftsmanship - and profitable for you.

What's a town without a playground, and a playground without toys? Think of the kids! Then help to construct some wooden toy tractors for the local playground in Riverbend Springs by delivering planks and boards.

Riverbend Springs and Hutan Pantai feature even bigger construction projects. Let's call them community projects - big plans of the respective town to build something monumental.

This requires way more time and effort. If your farming operation is not enough for you, and you as a farmer want to shape not only fields but an entire town, this might be your endgame.


There's a rather big project by an absent toy maker, who doesn't tend to finish his big projects himself, but needs some help. He doesn't stop at toy tractors, but his architectural magnum opus is something else. Grandpa Walter and Noah can tell you more about the actual intention of the project.

Under construction - nothing to see here yet!

Emotionally prepare yourself to deliver a whole range of resources over multiple stages until this one is finished. We don't reveal it here just yet.


To add to the Asian flair, Hutan Pantai wants to rebuild some of the old temple grounds, keeping the aesthetics of what their ancestors once built here.

By the way, there are some collectibles to be found all around the region. They will be displayed in the temples as soon as they are built. We call them Crop Orbs. Because they're orbs - with crops inside.

Since Riverbend Springs used to be a place full of good old wooden grain elevators, there's even one left. Unfortunately, it's in pretty rough shape because it hasn't been used in a long time.

As historic as the grain elevator itself, there are various objects of agricultural significance tucked away around Riverbend Springs. How did they get there? Well, there's a history to it. Maybe Walter can clear it up if you decide to talk to him and he happens to bring it up.

As if all this old stuff belongs in a museum - guess what! The old grain elevator, when renovated, will become a museum for these interesting remnants of times gone by.

With Farming Simulator 22, we created some buzz by bringing you bees to improve yield through the advantages of good, old pollinating. For Farming Simulator 25, we really went back to the drawing board in front of the animal pen. Which animals are missing? Worms? Bears? Dragons?

Sadly, those didn't make the cut - neither did Pink River Dolphins, Echidnas, and Leprechauns. But we went through your as well as our own wish list and instantly thought 'okay, we goat this, GIANTS Software! Let’s take the chance by its horns and create something goatally awesome. Water buffalos!'

But let’s not bleat around the bush. You know about the water buffalo already. Check out the Water Buffalo Preview if you don't.

In addition to this mighty animal of South(east) Asian descent, we wanted to give livestock owners another option to choose from. We goat your back, farmers!

You want to get goats right and the most complex thing are their legs and rectangular pupils. First, we almost created a Dahu by accident - a mythical creature. You can learn more about it from Katie. Right, you don't know who she is, do you? You'll find out soon enough.

One wrong slider and shorter legs on one side and you have a fantastical beast! Once the legs were up to snuff and we banished the Dahu back to its folkloric existence (or did we?), we had a squad of 2D & 3D artists working non-stop on the pupils. All so these beautiful animals could do what they do best - stare.

Then our artists and programmers build other parts of an anatomically correct goat in different stages from newborn to adult, so you can enjoy one of the most anticipated farm animals! Before we show you the mini goats, here are some real facts about real goats:

• Goats are incredible climbers. They're known for their agility, even scaling steep cliffs and trees. If you think you're good at bouldering, look at goats!
  
• Rectangular pupils give them nearly 360-degree panoramic vision, helping them spot predators and navigate challenging terrain.
  
• They're curious and intelligent. They can learn how to open gates or manipulate objects. Good to have an eye on them.
  
• Goats are highly social and form close bonds within their herds, or even humans and other animals.
  
• Each goat has a unique voice. Just look at all those screaming goat videos. So not only mother goats could recognize individual goats go by their bleat.

Goat milk is not everyone's cup of milk, but those who like it, love it. Its distinct, slightly tangy flavor is not as sweet and mild as your regular milk from a cow, but that's why it's so unique in taste and profitable in production!

While keeping goats for the sake of it is awesome enough, new productions allow you to process their milk and go for fine goat cheese! It's worth it, you goat to believe it!

Want to try goat cheese for real? Try it with fruits, nuts, honey, and herbs like thyme, rosemary and basil. You can put it in almost every dish just like regular cheese. From salad and stuffed in peppers to pasta and pizza.


What inspired the decision to add goats to the game?
Goats have been a popular request from our players, especially in certain regions where they play an important role in animal husbandry. They also work well with our production chains and new products that players can craft, making them more interesting for everyone.

What unique behavior will goats exhibit compared to other livestock?
You will notice many new animations from our Character & Animation team, who have done a great job bringing the animals to life. As goats are particularly lively and looking at our improved animation system, we thought Farming Simulator 25 would be incomplete without them. Especially the kids are jumping around like you would expect young goats to behave which is quite nice to watch.

How did you research real goat behavior to design their in-game actions?
One of the benefits of having a lot of people working on Farming Simulator who already had a lot of experience with real-life farming is that it is easier to bring those elements into the game. There's already an underlying sense of what's authentic, and that includes animals like goats when we digitize them.

But to really bring their virtual counterparts to life, we also look at a lot of videos of goats in various environments and discussed their behavior together. In the end, artists, animators, and programmers had to be in sync.

What challenges did you face when creating goats in general?
Goats are active, excited and playful creatures when you follow them around. So, the challenging part here was of course to make their movements look realistic and animate them properly. I think, our team did a good job here and goats add to the liveliness of the farms.

Why do you think goats are impressive farm animals?
Goats in particular like to let you know that they have distinct personalities. As I said before, they are playful. Because they are also incredibly curious and intelligent, always exploring their surroundings, they can be quite challenging livestock to keep. But they make up for it in providing valuable resources like milk, and they’re known for their hardiness in different environments.
