Our large special guide to the Platinum Edition explains all the new features for tractor beginners and harvest veterans.
Weeder, cultivator, mulch fork – don’t think anything if you don’t know what to do with these terms. That was the same for me until November 2021. But then Farming Simulator 22 appeared, which made the series, which was sometimes ridiculed by “real” players, more accessible thanks to many useful improvements – and not just for me, but for many new fans of the game.
We even had to have our special issue for Farming Simulator 22 reprinted due to high demand – an absolute rarity in our business. Hopefully our circulation calculations will turn out better this time, because of course we are also bringing a thick special issue to the Platinum Edition of the LS 22.
In it we show you the innovations and special features of the expansion, but don’t forget the newcomers who may be sitting on a tractor for the first time. Finally, with its then four maps and over 500 vehicles and machines, the game is an intimidating chunk that is definitely worth digging into.
Pro tips from a real forester
As the game grew, so did our team of authors. A proud ten LS professionals till every square centimeter so that you get the right information. There is even a genuine forester, who is of course particularly happy about the new map. These veterans tell you all about:
- the right way to get started with Farming Simula tor
- Production chains and further processing
- animal husbandry, crops and forestry
- best money making
- the best mods
- how to set up a multiplayer server and play with your buddies

The Volvo lurks in the forest
Not for blockheads – prospective foresters will get their money’s worth on the new map.
The biggest new feature of the Platinum Edition (or Platinum Expansion, if you already have the main game) is the fourth map, in the truest sense of the word. Located in the densely forested Pacific Northwest, Silverrun Forest, as the name suggests, is a forester’s paradise. Additional tree species bring new production chains into play, and all variants of wood processing are offered, including building a boat.
The 40 new vehicles in the game match this, such as the Volvo High Lift wheel loader, which you can use to load logs onto trucks. If you like, you can climb into the driver’s cab of the latter and bring the wood to the destination yourself. Forestry professionals are also happy about well-known brand names such as Impex or Koller.

No board in front of your head – know everything even away from the forest
In addition to the new map, we also cover all expansions that have been released so far.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that we’re only walking on the wrong track in the new special issue. Instead, there’s the full package for the up-and-coming farmer. In addition to the main game, we also look at the expansions that have been released so far, for example viticulture or high-tech precision farming with GPS support.
tips and assistance
We help you breed horses, pigs, cows, chickens or bees and unravel the complex production chains. We’ll also take you to the tractor driving school (backwards with a trailer!) and provide guides on the construction mode, the AI helpers or just the right settings for the difficulty level. After all, not everyone likes to manage the entire operation, but (like me after a hard day) maybe just wants to go for a ride with the tractor.
Including PC free codes for three vehicles
Maybe you feel the same, but for me the technology is a big part of the fascination. Huge combine harvesters, heavy tractors and almost scary-looking harvesters – we can drive all of this ourselves in Farming Simulator 22. We present the game’s vehicle fleet highlights in detail in this issue, so that you have the right device for every job.
And we’ll even help you to fill your own hall: Thanks to the free code* in the booklet, you can climb into the driver’s seat of the historic Zetor Z-25K, the modern Fendt 900 Vario Black Beauty and the driver’s cab of the Mack Truck Black Anthem 6×4.
