With the new upcoming game expansion Giants will introduce a new crop – onions. New machines and production chains will also be part of the Highlands Fishing expansion that will launch on November 4th. Let’s learn everything about what is coming.
Cultivating Onions
Cultivate, cut, clean, and continue…
After planting them between March and April, fertilizing and removing those pesky weeds like usual, onions require you to cut off the haulms before you collect them in August or September.
For this crop, Dutch brand Holaras comes into play with two simultaneously attached tools: With the Holaras UMR 330-FC, you cut off the heads and produce a centered swath.
With the Holaras UR 205, attached in the rear, the onions get cleaned more thoroughly after they’re dug out by its front-attached companion.
It also compacts the soil a bit, so the onions don’t get mixed up with the soil again. By default, the swaths are centered by the belt of the tool, but you can also choose right- or left-aligned swaths.
To collect them, you have two options: the GRIMME Varitron 470 or Ropa Keiler 2 RK22. Both are available with the configuration specialized on this particular vegetable crop. Just like in reality, a potato harvester like the Ropa Keiler 2 can be modified to pick up onions.
After that, deliver them to the Holaras AS 25 on your farm, an onion topper specially designed for trimming onions. Thanks to the special shapes of its blades and their high speed, the strong airflow sucks the onion tails between bars of a vibrating screen, after which they are cut off.
Neatly cut and packaged, the onions are now put in boxes, so you can process them further at various production points…
Processing Onions
Salty, Soupy & Fried
Transport your onions to the next designation. Do you want to produce onion salt or onion soup? Fried onions are also an option. Deliver them to the corresponding factory for processing!
You could also just sell them, if it’s too much of a hassle for you and you want to get back onto the fields. No judgment. But also no bonus profit for you!
Learn more in our upcoming preview about productions, constructions & decorations. We still have a few previews scheduled upon release. Stay tuned!
