Chainsaws are slow. Mulchers are boring. A rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) mod can turn an hour of forestry work into 30 seconds of fiery destruction. Load up a flatbed with ammo pallets, drive to the forest edge, and use "precision forestry."
Abstract:
While Farming Simulator 22 (FS22) is fundamentally a agricultural simulation, a vibrant subculture of modding has emerged under the informal banner of “Expendables.” This paper defines the term, analyzes the technical implementation of destructible, single-use, or combat-oriented assets, and explores the tension between the game’s pacifist design and player demand for high-stakes utility. Through examination of key mod categories—from forestry demolition charges to military vehicle packs—this study argues that “expendables modding” represents a form of procedural counter-play, expanding FS22’s sandbox into risk-reward territory traditionally reserved for action simulations.
