Trade between farms · Economy

Early developmentFS25_FarmMarket

The game gives a farm no proper way to sell what it produces to another farm; the deal is either built on trust or it never happens. Farm Market turns it into a purchase the server verifies. The factory owner lists an output from the production menu, sets the price as a share of the market price, keeps a stock reserve and can cap how much a single buyer farm takes per day. The buyer drives into the factory's loading point for trailer products or walks up to it for pallet products. Money is charged for what is actually loaded and the balance never goes negative. Early development: the package is ready and server testing is under way.

Status: Early development. The mod is being tested on our own server; the feature list describes the goal and the released version may differ.

Features

What it does

  • The seller sets the price as a share of the market price, and the server applies a floor and a cap (25% to 400% by default).
  • Stock reserve: the amount the seller keeps for themselves is never put up for sale.
  • A daily limit per buyer farm, so a single farm cannot sweep the whole production.
  • For trailer products loading starts on its own at the factory's loading point and only the loaded liters are charged.
  • Pallet products such as flour, cheese and coffee spawn in the factory's pallet area owned by the buyer and are charged one by one.
  • The balance never goes negative: the amount is capped by your money, the seller's reserve and the daily limit.
  • Listings are removed when a factory changes hands, and every trade is written to the ledger in the savegame.
  • A server fee, buyer debt and admin override can be switched on in the settings file.
  • Console commands for servers without GUI access: fmPoints, fmList, fmListing, fmUnlist, fmBuy, fmLedger, fmMarket.
  • With Discord Bridge installed, listings and trades are sent to Discord and to the web dashboard.
