          Gameplay

          Career

          In career mode, the player takes on the role of a farmer. Their task is to expand on their "dated" farm and machinery. The main goal of the player is to harvest their crops and sell them in order to expand their farming enterprise (e.g. machines, fields, animals and buildings). The player is free to explore, grow from their choice of several crop types, and invest their money in additional fields and equipment. Livestock may be purchased, and then it is up to the player to care for the animals.

          Missions

          There are dynamically generated missions which consist of the player performing various tasks within a time frame such as mowing grass or delivering cargo. If the player successfully completes the task, they are rewarded with a sum of money, plus a bonus amount of money based on how quickly the task was completed.

          Multiplayer

          Farming Simulator 2014 is the first mobile Farming Simulator to have multiplayer. Farming Simulator 16 has Bluetooth functionality. Last and current generation consoles have multiplayer ("Farming Simulator" on the last generation consoles was the first console port of the game, with all features of 2013 Titanium.) Farming Simulator 15 on all devices has a multiplayer function.
