Mid-winter, January and the days are very short. I’ve been filling in with work on neighbouring farms which has given the opportunity to try out some larger vehicles for cultivating jobs. This John Deere 8RX giving the chance to try an all-tracked vehicle…
And this Deutz-Fahr 8280 finished in a special edition black livery…
I’ve also started work on my new field – using the cultivator to mow down the weeds and prepare the soil…
…and subsequently applying Lime.
With only cultivation jobs on offer, I started to get itchy feet (or fingers in the case of a computer game). I added a new building to my farm and then I went to the farm shop to buy some essentials…
…I think that gives the game away as to what my new addition is 🤣 Here’s the new Chicken Barn next morning…
…which I have stocked with Chickens…
I had always intended to start Egg production at some stage, and I guess now is as good a time as any 👍
Now for the disappointing news… While playing the game on Monday evening the pc decided to have a fit and crashed the game – I believe this was due to the ongoing issue with the memory leak in Windows that I have been living with. Today, I have been unable to start the game and I am currently trying a number of ideas to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, even if I do get the game working, the Ferme du Vieux Chêne game save will almost certainly be gone. Then I’ll have to make a decision whether to restart on the same game map or to use one of the other maps instead. Ultimately, I will be having to buy a new pc soon anyway, which will probably mean restarting all my saves in all my games.
