Mining may not have been part of the original goal with Farming Simulator 19, but that doesn’t stop us from adding it into the game.
Modders have created this entirely new system for mining, and with a new “crop” comes new equipment.
Below we’ve curated some of the best new maps designed for mining, plus our favorite excavators, and even a few new haul trucks. Basically all the best mining-related mods, all at your disposal.
These are mostly all designed for mining, but can also have use in other parts of the game too. So check ‘em out and see what you think:
It’s an African map that was sold as a DLC for Farming Simulator 17, just reskinned as a mining map.
The modder who made this dug a huge mine pit, and added several buildings that enable the economy of mining to work in the game.
No equipment is included in this map, but basically everything else is.
The map is complete with a scrap yard that accepts your ores, too. Plus this adds things like crushed stone and bricks into the game that you can produce and sell.
Here we have another custom map that was designed around mining.
This is a south Brazilian map with a lime stone quarry and a rock crusher. The equipment needed for this is not included, so again you’d have to try out some mods to get going.
And the map does not have as complete of an economy, but it can be added to with other mods. The quarry looks great though, and the map as a whole looks great too.
Another nice feature of this map is that the creator left most of the fields intact, so you can still farm on the side.
Lots of room for planting & you’ll also never run out of lime stone, since the pit is huge.
Now that we’ve given you a map or two, we can get into the equipment itself.
We’ll start this with a nice big front end loader.
And this Cat 980k is a beast of a loader, too!
It’s a single-wheeled model with articulating steering. This is similar to the loaders they use in real life rock crushers.
It has all working lights and animations, so it’s very close to the actual loader. Great for realism.
I said this machine was a beast, and I meant it.
The loading capacity is a whopping 15,500 liters. This is more than three times what the in game loaders will carry.
It loads trucks with rock faster than anything already in vanilla game. This loader mod is worth getting, and it even works with all bulk types, so you can load normal crops with it as well.
Now this Volvo mining truck is an off-road and on-site only truck.
This means it doesn’t go very fast, but it carries more than you would be allowed to on the highways.
That also means this truck is a giant.
It’ll carry a load of 76,000 liters. This is more than even the semi-trailers in the game can carry.
Pair this truck with a large loader and you can move your bulk around with ease.
And to be fair, we needed a truck this big in-game anyway, even without mining. I use mine mostly for potato harvests, as it’ll take a whole field’s worth of crops without having to make a bulk pile to load later.
This saves you a ton of time, even if you aren’t into the mining thing.
This mod is actually a pack of trucks all put together.
But we’re here specifically for the Liebherr T284.
This monster of a dump truck can haul a huge load 267,000 liters.
This is a crazy amount more than even the biggest trailers.
And this truck isn’t lacking in power either, so it has no problem pulling a full load.
Plus the huge engine is putting out one thousand horsepower. A few tweaks to the XML file for this mod easily allows it to carry one million liters, no joke.
