How To Hire Workers in Farming Simulator 25

If you want to become a successful farmer and build a big business in FS 25, you’ll need to become a true capitalist and hire workers for your farm!

Undoubtedly, in the early stages of the game, you can handle all tasks on your own since there won’t be many of them, and starting out, you'll be full of enthusiasm and desire to do everything yourself. But as the farm and the number of tasks grow, managing everything alone will be practically impossible. Especially if you have many businesses in the game: for example, you are engaged in logging, crop cultivation, and have many farms with livestock. And all this falls on one person's shoulders? Such a pace will not lead to success in farming!

That’s why, as the success of your enterprises increases, you'll need a guide on how to hire workers in FS 25. Here we will detail the advantages and disadvantages of this process and explain how to hire workers to delegate many tasks, freeing up time for more interesting activities. But don’t forget, you’ll have to pay wages, as no one will work for free!

Why Do You Need Hired Workers in Farming Simulator 25?

As mentioned above, by outsourcing tasks to hired employees, you can optimize work processes on your enterprises. For a small fee, they can perform almost any work you assign them. This will give you more free time to spend on other useful activities. In short, hired workers in Farming Simulator 25 will help increase your income and become a successful businessman much faster than doing everything yourself.

Let's look at some of the advantages and disadvantages you can expect when hiring workers.

Advantages:

• More free time for more important tasks. You will become a real manager and won’t have to do routine work yourself. You just need to ensure that the people you hire for specific positions handle their tasks properly. The time freed up from these tedious tasks can be spent on developing your business in the game.
• They can perform almost any work. You are essentially hiring outsourced workers. By paying them money, they are ready to take on anything you offer them. Whether it’s raising chickens, milking cows, or even more complex tasks like harvesting crops, sowing fields, or tilling your land.
• Rapid business expansion. By assembling a team of employees, you can earn much more and achieve success in a shorter time. This will be a well-established system, almost like a company where everyone does what they are told. And the more employees, the easier and faster various tasks will be completed, leading to higher income growth.
• Opportunity to try yourself as a manager. Agree, it’s very interesting! Engaging in farming and sowing independently in the fields is undoubtedly fascinating. But sooner or later, like any activity, it becomes routine and such processes will no longer bring the joy they once did. Thanks to hiring workers for farms and fields, you can try yourself in a new role as a manager.
• Hired employees can be customized. The game has many settings that allow you to create conditions under which AI employees will work.

As you can see, there are many positive aspects to hiring workers, but unfortunately, there are also negative moments that we must also consider.

Disadvantages:

• At the beginning, they are not only ineffective but can even lead to bankruptcy. Since in the early stages of building any business, capital is small, hiring so-called "hired hands" is far from the best idea. You will spend more than you gain.
• Sometimes they refuse to work. Yes, it happens. You assign an AI freelancer a task, like plowing a field, and he may refuse to do it even for money. It was a common problem in FS 25, but it’s less relevant in Farming Simulator 25.
• Mandatory setup is required. You must pre-set the correct settings and disable certain functions so that the person working for you doesn’t take extra money from you.

There can also be minor bugs and errors, like a worker getting stuck under certain conditions. But again, they occur very rarely.

How to hire workers in FS 25?

So, you have considered all the pros and cons of hiring workers for specific positions... And if you have decided to use their services due to the impossibility of doing everything yourself, or for any other reason, let's find out how it's done.

In fact, it’s incredibly simple. During work (for example, feeding animals, plowing a field, working with a tractor, etc.), press the "H" button. That's it! This action is enough to hire a worker.

Keep in mind that you will still need to monitor them to ensure they perform all actions correctly and honestly. And when necessary, correct them.

Other Ways to Automate Work in Farming Simulator 25

Perhaps you were dissatisfied with the performance of your employees in the game and are looking for a more advanced and straightforward way to automate in FS 25? Such ways actually exist! And these are mods! Since the discussed game has an excellent tool for modding, many users and even entire development teams create a lot of additional content. Including many modifications for automation.

Here are some mods that will help you set any processes in the game on a conveyor belt without resorting to hiring workers (who also need to be paid money):

• CoursePlay. It can undoubtedly be called the most popular addition, offering players an incredible number of functions and capabilities. With this mod, you can relieve yourself from unpleasant and tedious work. It can plow fields, set routes for transporting goods, perform sowing, feed and water animals, and automate almost any processes on the farm, fields, logging productions, and various factories.
• Follow Me. This is also a very popular modification. But unlike the previous one, it has more specific tasks. Namely, it allows all equipment to follow you. This will make transporting any vehicles and agricultural tools to the right places easier.
• AutoDrive. A mod with similar functions. Allows you to set routes for equipment to follow without your participation and also automate refueling of equipment and set it to perform specific tasks.
• GPS Guidance Steering. A great add-on for automating any fieldwork. Automatic plowing, cultivation, harvesting — this is just a small part of all its functions.
• Animal Worker. An indispensable tool for those who have many farms and taking care of animals takes a lot of time. Set it up and assign the necessary functions, and instead of you, all standard work like feeding, watering, milking, shearing sheep, collecting eggs, cleaning manure, and other animal care tasks will be done by artificial intelligence.

These are the 5 most useful mods for automation that everyone who wants to develop their farm to large scales should use. But the list can be endlessly supplemented. There are many smaller modifications tailored for more specific tasks. We will consider them in the following articles.

Finishing our guide, it’s worth saying that whether to use hired workers and mods from the list above is up to you. Some want to do everything themselves, and for some, this information might be useful. Share your opinion in the comments.
