Description:
Fields of Stories expands Farming Simulator with a dynamic neighborhood of 13 virtual characters who live and work independently in your world and interact with you. Each character has an individual daily routine and tasks. You meet characters randomly at the gas station, in the field, at the dealer, or anywhere across the map. Have conversations, build relationships, and support them when they need help.

Features:
- Up to 13 characters, including farmers, family members, mayor, contractor, grain trader, civilians, and machinery dealer/mechanic.
- 4 independently working farmers who manage their own fields and machinery fleets following a cultivation plan and daily schedule.
- Dynamic daily routines including sleeping, working, shopping, and refueling.
- Random encounters in the game world at public places or out in the field.
- Spoken, natural conversations in German and English with individual voices and random topics.
- Phone calls from farmers when they need help with specific tasks.
- Field contracts based on farmer workloads.
- Ability to borrow machinery from farmers' yards for contracts.
