Market Dynamics V1.1.9.3 fs25-mods

Description:

Real-world inspired dynamic crop pricing for Farming Simulator 25. Prices fluctuate daily and intraday based on world events, supply, demand, and economic shocks — no two playthroughs feel the same. The dynamic pricing engine tracks each crop with a live price derived from a base value, a volatility factor, and a live event modifier stack. Prices drift every in-game minute and shift daily, reverting toward the base within a range of 50% to 200%, ensuring markets stay volatile yet realistic. Ten global events influence prices: Regional Drought, Bumper Harvest, Trade Disruption, Geopolitical Crisis, Biofuel Initiative, Livestock Feed Boom, Pest Outbreak, Cold Snap, Financial Panic, and Protein Premium. Each occurs probabilistically with cooldowns and randomized intensities, creating ranged price swings that keep markets lively and unpredictable. Cold Snap is the first mixed-direction event, boosting some crops while suppressing others. Financial Panic is a rare black-swan event that drags all commodities down simultaneously. Futures contracts allow you to lock in a selling price today for delivery up to 120 in-game days later. You can specify any quantity and delivery window, not limited to presets. Fulfill contracts on time for full payout; missing the deadline results in a 15% default penalty on the unfulfilled amount. If FS25_UsedPlus is installed, your credit score adjusts this penalty between 10% and 20%. The market screen features a full InGameMenu page with three tabs: live prices with percentage change and trend charts, active world events with intensity and remaining time, and your contract history. You can open the contract dialog from anywhere by pressing N or clicking 'New Contract'. Event settings allow precise configuration of which crops are affected by each world event via the in-game Event Settings UI, with a Browse Fill Types dialog for easy crop selection. Multiplayer support ensures price states, world events, and futures contracts are synchronized across clients, with the simulation running headless on dedicated servers. Contract creation and fulfillment are validated network events. Integrations include FS25_FuturesMission, which temporarily affects crop prices after harvest missions, and FS25_UsedPlus, which influences your credit score and penalty scaling. Settings for enabling/disabling dynamic prices, events, frequency, volatility, and debug logging are accessible in-game under ESC > Settings > Market Dynamics. The mod supports 26 languages, covering all Farming Simulator 25 languages. Save data is stored in savegameDirectory/FS25_MarketDynamics.xml; removing the mod mid-save is safe as the file is ignored on reload. Version 1.1.9.3 adds a new HUD for active contracts, a dialog for event notifications, and new strings for all 25 translation files. Required mod: Better Contracts.
