In previous versions, such as Farming Simulator 22, bale wrapping did not require complicated actions or additional costs. However, in FS25 everything has changed dramatically. Bale wrapping now has to be bought separately and delivered to the fields by the player himself.

This adds complexity to the game, but also makes the process much more fun and realistic.

Incidentally, in FS22, a popular mod called Net Wrap Addon by Italian modder DD ModPassion introduced similar challenges for bale wrapping. It’s possible that the developers were inspired by this mod.

New Bale Wrapping Features

The bale wrapping process in Farming Simulator 25 has become noticeably more complex than in previous versions. Players must now buy and load packaging materials, like film and netting, which requires additional time and financial investment.

On one hand, this change increases workload and requires extra costs for bale wrap purchases. On the other, it makes the baling process richer and more realistic.

Types of Bale Wrapping Materials

There will be several types of bale wrap available in FS25.

The choice of wrapping material will depend on various factors and conditions, such as bale storage location, weather conditions, bale size and shape, and intended storage duration. This variety is a welcome addition.

Here are the types of wraps players can use in Farming Simulator 25:

• Film – A universal airtight material, ideal for preserving bales and preventing spoilage.
• Mesh - more suitable for short-term storage as it is air permeable and good for coarser materials.
• Branded wrapping - players can choose wrapping from popular agricultural brands such as John Deere, CLAAS and others, adding a unique touch to their fields and equipment.

Buying and using bale wrapping materials

The mechanics of bale wrapping have been greatly improved and become more complex. In previous versions of the game, players could simply select a wrapping type and the baler would automatically wrap the bales.



Now this process requires a lot more effort.

Here's a step-by-step overview of the process:

• Purchasing materials - Wrapping materials are now purchased from the in-game store, where players select a specific type (film, mesh, or branded wrapping).
• Color and Brand Selection - Players can choose not only the type of wrap, but also its color, which brings variety to the appearance of bales in the field. Branded bale packs will also be available in the game.
• Since bale wrappers are now a separate commodity, they can be transported on trailers and stored in warehouses.
• After purchasing the material, need to load it into the baler used to create the bales.

Tips for selecting and managing packing materials

To effectively manage bale wrapping materials and avoid unnecessary costs, follow these tips.

• Assess the needs of your farm: For long-term storage of bales, film is a better choice, while netting is suitable for short-term use.
• Keep an eye on costs: Different wrappers are used up at different rates, so consider the volume and types of bales when planning your budget.
• Buy in Bulk: Storing materials in dedicated warehouses can reduce the need for frequent trips to the store, saving time and resources.

Special Features of Bale Wrapping in FS25

In addition to the primary wrapping process, developers have added some extra features. For example, wraps now appear on the map, and usage can be tracked through special interface tools.



Wrapping materials, along with other items like chainsaws and brushes, can be stored in warehouses, making them easy to locate in the inventory.
