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 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 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 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, 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 changes and trend charts, active world events with their intensity and remaining time, and your contract history. Event settings let you customize which crops are affected by each event via the 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 temporarily impacts crop prices after harvest missions, and FS25_UsedPlus, which adjusts your credit score and penalty scales based on contract outcomes. Settings allow you to enable or disable dynamic prices and events, adjust event frequency and volatility, and enable debug logging, all accessible via 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 1.2.0.6 updates include removing the settings panel from in-game settings and integrating a custom settings panel (needs to be bound). Required mods: Better Contracts.
