Growing rice in Farming Simulator 25 is very profitable. However, it can only grow in special areas. In this article, we’ll try to figure out how to create a rice field in FS25.

With relatively low financial investment, this activity can bring substantial profits, especially if you gradually expand the size of your fields.

Of course, there are some challenges. For example, you can’t plant rice in a regular field. This plant cannot grow without a large amount of moisture, so it must be planted in special areas where there is enough water to sustain it. But overall, by growing rice, you can quickly build a solid capital and become a successful farmer. Therefore, it is very important to know how to create rice fields, as this is one of the main and first steps necessary for planting this crop.

Let’s not waste any time and get started. To make it easier for you to understand, the guide is divided into subsections. By doing everything step by step, it will be much easier to grasp the process.

Before You Begin

Before creating a rice field, make sure you own an empty plot of land where it can be placed. If you don’t have one, purchase it through the special shopping menu and move to it.

Open the Construction Menu in FS25 and Find the "Rice Fields"

If you’ve played Farming Simulator before, you’re probably familiar with this menu. If not, it’s a special menu where you can quickly create and place various objects—both decorative and practical—on the map. These include fields for growing rice.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Open the static objects construction menu. It’s usually opened by pressing the key combination Shift + P. You can also open it through the game’s main menu.

• Then, find the "Cultivation" section and open it. In this section, scroll through the list to the 4th item (you can use arrow buttons, or press E to move forward and Q to move backward).
  
  

• Here, you’ll see an item called "Rice Fields." That’s exactly what we need! Select it.

Great, we’ve done everything as required, and now we can move on to the next step of creating rice fields.

Marking Field Boundaries and Shaping the Field

If everything was done correctly in the previous step, you will see something like this on the screen:

You need to use the mouse to set the boundaries of your field’s start and end points. Special lines will help guide you through this process, showing where the field boundaries will be.

To outline the boundaries, use the mouse to place and adjust the lines. To set a new point, right-click.

Once you’ve finished shaping your future rice field, left-click to complete the process and create the field. After this, you will be moved to the next (final) step, where you need to right-click again to fully complete the process of building a flooded field (the field is created without water; filling it with water happens separately).

Field editor controls are mainly handled with the mouse, but there are also several useful hotkeys:

• Right Mouse Button (RMB): Used to add corners in the first stage of creation.

• Left Mouse Button (LMB): Complete construction.

• B Key: Use it to remove the last corner.

• Mouse Wheel: Used to zoom the camera.

• N and M Keys: Used to adjust the placement height.

• R Key: Toggle snapping.

In the second stage of construction, RMB is responsible for creating the field!

Filling the Rice Field with Water

Congratulations! You’ve successfully placed a flooded rice field on the map. But that’s not the end. There are two types of rice in the game: regular and long-grain. If you’re planning to plant the first type, you’ll need to fill the field with water before planting. In the case of long-grain rice, this should be done after planting (at the first growth stage).

Now we’ve reached the final step. Since rice cannot grow without a large amount of moisture, this step is absolutely crucial! Make sure to set up water supply to the field so that your crops don’t dry out.

A special pump is used to flood the field, which becomes available immediately after creating the field. Use this tool to fill the area with the necessary amount of water. Simply approach the pump and press the corresponding button (a prompt will appear on the screen when you are close enough to the water pump).

And that’s it! In this guide, we’ve learned how to create a rice field in Farming Simulator 25. We hope this article was as useful as possible, and that you found the information you needed. Stay with us—there are many more interesting guides and tutorials on the way!
