Farming Simulator 25: Complete Guide to Collectible Locations in Zielonka

Farming Simulator 25 introduces an engaging side challenge for players through a unique collect-a-thon: the golden apple hunt. Specifically set in Zielonka’s map, players must locate these covertly positioned collectible apples scattered throughout the landscape. Each apple gathered rewards farmers with a lucrative bonus of $5,000. The backstory behind this quest reveals that these decorative apples were once part of two trees from a local park island, and it’s the farmer’s job to restore them to their rightful places.

Unlike the collectible challenges in the Riverbend Springs farm, the Zielonka map presents a remarkable challenge with a total of 50 hidden golden apples. This extensive collection makes for an exciting treasure hunt, and to facilitate the search, the following guide is organized in a clockwise order starting from the top right corner. Notably, most of these apples can be found within the town area located to the west of the map. Players are welcome to retrieve the apples in any order they see fit, adding an element of personal strategy to the hunt.

As a current note, players exploring the #7 location near the pallet factory should be aware that it is currently inaccessible on PS5 due to its proximity to the factory door.
