LS 22 Seasonal Prices v1.0.0.0
Just as the weather changes with the seasons, so does the supply and demand of various products. Keep an eye on the market to catch the best prices during the year. It might be worth the time and money to invest in seeds or lime well in advance before the planting season starts.
FEATURES:
Seasonal variation on prices now also when buying (not only when selling, as in the base game)
Seasonal variation added for additional fill types (applies to both selling and buying)
[DISABLED] Random price variation per buying station
GAMEPLAY
In addition to the default behavior where the selling price (i.e. when you sell your harvest) varies over the year with the seasons, the buy price (e.g. when buying seeds or refueling a vehicle) will now also vary over the year. This means that products/crops that support seasonal variation when selling will now also have seasonal variation when buying.
Additional products like seeds, fuel, and herbicides that normally have fixed prices (true for base game maps and most modded maps) will now get support for seasonal variation, both when selling and buying.
Base prices are not changed, whatever base price is set by the map and other mods is maintained
[DISABLED] Each buying station will have a slight variation in their prices (in addition to the seasonal variation) to reflect local competition between different companies.
SUPPORTED FILL TYPES
On most maps (incl. base game maps) the majority of the file types for harvestable crops (e.g. wheat and corn) and production output (e.g. fabric and sugar) already support seasonal variation. However, many of the products that you typically buy (i.e. fuel, seeds, lime, etc) have fixed prices.
This mod adds seasonal variation to the following file types:
– FORAGE, PIGFOOD, DIESEL, ELECTRIC CHARGE, METHANE, SEEDS, FERTILIZER, LIQUID FERTILIZER, HERBICIDE
CUSTOM SEASONAL VARIATION
If your map doesn’t support seasonal variation on certain file types, you can create a copy of this mod and edit the “xml/maps_fillTypes.xml” with your custom file type settings.
The randomization of prices at buying stations is temporarily disabled due to multiplayer issues *
