Player Thoughts on Patch 1.4

While all of the fixes and improvements listed in the patch notes are good news, Farming Simulator 25 players over on Reddit were hoping for one particular fix that hasn’t been addressed yet: manure. According to players, the issue seems to stem from manure heaps when trying to load a save. Normally, manure heaps generate manure which is especially useful as a fertilizer. However, many players are reporting that their manure heaps stop performing as expected when they load a save. They stop generating manure entirely, and, as a result, players need to create entirely new manure heaps. Hopefully, this is an issue that the developers are already aware of and are planning to fix soon in an upcoming patch!
