Goats will bring more products in Farming Simulator 25

With Farming Simulator 22, we created some buzz by bringing you bees to improve yield through the advantages of good, old pollinating. For Farming Simulator 25, we really went back to the drawing board in front of the animal pen. Which animals are missing? Worms? Bears? Dragons?

Sadly, those didn’t make the cut – neither did Pink River Dolphins, Echidnas, and Leprechauns. But we went through your as well as our own wish list and instantly thought ‘okay, we goat this, GIANTS Software! Let’s take the chance by its horns and create something goatally awesome. Water buffalos!’

But let’s not bleat around the bush. You know about the water buffalo already. Check out the Water Buffalo article if you don’t.

In addition to this mighty animal of South(east) Asian descent, we wanted to give livestock owners another option to choose from. We goat your back, farmers!

Good Goats Take Time

You want to get goats right, and the most complex thing is their legs and rectangular pupils. First, we almost created a Dahu by accident – a mythical creature. You can learn more about it from Katie. Right, you don’t know who she is, do you? You’ll find out soon enough.

One wrong slider and shorter legs on one side and you have a fantastical beast! Once the legs were up to snuff and we banished the Dahu back to its folkloric existence (or did we?), we had a squad of 2D & 3D artists working non-stop on the pupils. All so these beautiful animals could do what they do best – stare.

Why Goats Are Awesome

Then, our artists and programmers build other parts of an anatomically correct goat in different stages, from newborn to adult, so you can enjoy one of the most anticipated farm animals! Before we show you the mini goats, here are some real facts about real goats:

• Goats are incredible climbers. They’re known for their agility, even scaling steep cliffs and trees. If you think you’re good at bouldering, look at goats!
• Rectangular pupils give them nearly 360-degree panoramic vision, helping them spot predators and navigate challenging terrain.
• They’re curious and intelligent. They can learn how to open gates or manipulate objects. Good to have an eye on them.
• Goats are highly social and form close bonds within their herds or even with humans and other animals.
• Each goat has a unique voice. Just look at all those screaming goat videos. So not only mother goats could recognize individual goats go by their bleat.

Best Goats: Baby Goats

Best Cheese: Goat Cheese

Goat milk is not everyone’s cup of milk, but those who like it, love it. Its distinct, slightly tangy flavor is not as sweet and mild as your regular milk from a cow, but that’s why it’s so unique in taste and profitable in production!

While keeping goats for the sake of it is awesome enough, new productions allow you to process their milk and go for fine goat cheese! It’s worth it, you goat to believe it!

Want to try goat cheese for real? Try it with fruits, nuts, honey, and herbs like thyme, rosemary, and basil. You can put it in almost every dish just like regular cheese. From salad and stuffed in peppers to pasta and pizza.
