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 price, a volatility factor, and a live event modifier stack. Prices drift every in-game minute and shift daily with mean reversion toward the base, staying between 50% and 200% of the base to keep markets volatile yet realistic. Ten world events influence the market: 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, causing ranged price swings that make markets feel alive 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 down all commodities simultaneously. Futures contracts allow you to lock in a sell price today for delivery up to 120 in-game days later. Enter any quantity and delivery window via custom input — no preset limits. Fulfill contracts on time for the full locked-price payout; missing the deadline incurs a 15% default penalty on the unfulfilled amount, scaled between 10% and 20% if FS25_UsedPlus is installed. 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. Event settings let you configure which crops are affected by each world event via an in-game Event Settings UI, with a Browse Fill Types dialog for easy selection. Multiplayer support ensures price states, world events, and futures contracts sync across clients, with the simulation running headless on dedicated servers. Contract creation and fulfillment are validated network events. Mod integrations include FS25_FuturesMission, which applies a supply spike after harvest missions, temporarily lowering crop prices, and FS25_UsedPlus, which adjusts your credit score based on contract outcomes, scaling penalties accordingly. Settings allow enabling/disabling dynamic prices and events, adjusting event frequency and volatility, and toggling debug logs, all accessible in-game under ESC > Settings > Market Dynamics. The mod supports 26 languages, with save data stored in savegameDirectory/FS25_MarketDynamics.xml. Removing the mod mid-save is safe, as the file is ignored on reload. Version 1.2.0.0 introduces sortable columns in the Prices tab and corrects base price usage when both this mod and the Realistic Economy mod are installed, layering price swings and events on top of real-world prices. Required mods include Better Contracts.
