3 Green girl

A compelling but reused map

The map features a large main road running through the center of the area that contains the fields, and has a number of narrower paths to navigate into the fields. Zielonka already featured in Farming Simulator 22 as the fifth map (included in the premium expansion). That said, Zielonka isn't completely unique to players who know her Farming simulator and his previous records.

This means travel times are higher than average and it can be inconvenient for newer players to get from field to field. Despite the inconvenience of navigation and passage, Zielonka is characterized by highly uniform and geometric fields that offer a great visual coherence to the area. This, coupled with the flat terrain, means experienced players will be able to excel and use the high number of fields to their advantage, whether it's growing crops or raising livestock.

2 Hutan Pantai

Unique and fun

This means that some fields and plots are difficult to reach, sometimes they are divided into two altitudes, especially as seen in the rice fields. Despite this, many players find it adds to the overall immersion and design of the map, as many real East Asian rice fields are laid out this way. Hutan Pantai also features classic and authentic East Asian farming equipment and techniques, which can be seen in the older water pumps in the rice fields and some of the farming equipment itself. As mentioned, despite its beauty and solid design, some newer players may find Hutan Pantai somewhat awkward to navigate due to its uneven terrain, although the map design and setting is quite unique and will likely attract many players for this reason.

The most rounded map
