A new update has been released for Farming Simulator Update 1.15. You can find all the Game Update details, Bug Fixes, improvements, and Patch Notes is now available for all platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and PC.
More than 20,000 trees are already planted in Silverrun forest, our new map, when you arrive. Some of them are new to the game: We're adding more coniferous trees to the existing tree species in Farming Simulator 22.
New Tree Species
The Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) is a rather large pine, native to the mountainous regions of western North America. Not only that, it's the most widely distributed pine species in North America. It's used for building material and firewood.
The Ponderosa Pine
The Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta) is also very common in western North America, especially near the ocean shore. This evergreen conifer is often used in rural areas for log cabins, posts, fences, lumber, and firewood. In some parts of the world, it's also popular for reforestation purposes.
The Lodgepole Pine
The Sequoia (Sequoioideae), also known as "redwoods", are coniferous trees from a family of trees which includes the largest and tallest on our planet. They're endangered and have been cultivated beyond their native habitats. They are not supposed to be chopped down but a great choice for reforestation.
The Sequoia
There are multiple machines to use for planting and harvesting trees. More than 40 new vehicles and tools are included in the expansion - featuring John Deere, Komatsu, Pfanzelt, Koller, Schwarzmüller, IMPEX and other brands.
Planting More Trees Than Ever
Let's continue with the new harvesting equipment and take a look at some of the new machines in the category. While the Volvo EC250DL allows you to attach a processor head, the Koller P60, to lop off branches and cut the tree into logs

Among many other configurations and attachments, you can also attach a feller buncher to both of them, to harvest and transport multiple logs at once. On top of all those fun playthings, we added some new functionality, too.

See, how flexible the movement of the harvester head is? To make the control of harvester heads a bit more agile, you can now tilt the head of your harvester to not only cut trees but grab them from the ground.

Grabbing a tree automatically is also easier now. A yellow ring appears around the tree stump in immediate proximity, so you always know which tree you are currently aiming at in the dense woods of Silverrun Forest. As soon as it turns green, the harvester is ready for action.

If you want to grab more than one tree - you can. With the John Deere Feller Buncher 843L-II + the FD55 disc saw felling head. Take a look at that beast:
