The main source of gameplay found within Farming Simulator 18 comes in the form of Career Mode. Here, players take on the role of a new farmer looking to expand their land and improve their overall stock of animals and machinery. The main objective, of course, is to plant and harvest crops that they can ultimately sell for profits. With these profits, farmers can expand their farms in the form of new Equipment, Tools, Fields, Livestock and buildings. From there, players continue this cycle until they are profitable enough to start hire employees to do the work for them.
If you can accomplish beginning the game as a solo farmer and progressing into a career of overseeing your farming business full of employees you can afford to hire and do the work for you, then you can officially call yourself a master of not only the farming industry, but also Farming Simulator 18.
