Description:

PHANTOMAS SAVAGE FARMLAND MARKET
Transform the native Farmland screen into a dynamic, ever-changing property market where land availability, prices, NPC loyalty, and auctions fluctuate daily. Land is no longer permanently available just because you have enough money. Every midnight, the Savage Farmland Market refreshes with new opportunities, temporary locks, premium prices, rare discounted listings, and high-stakes auctions.IMPORTANT: AUCTION THINKING PAUSE
After each player bid, there is an intentional random delay of approximately 1.8 to 5 seconds before NPC bidders respond. This pause is not a freeze or a glitch; it represents NPCs contemplating their next move. Wait for the counteroffer or the auction result, and avoid repeatedly pressing the auction button during this time.DAILY RNG MARKET
At midnight, the entire land market regenerates automatically.
Between 60% and 95% of eligible native farmlands become temporarily locked.
Purchased land remains protected but still counts towards the overall map calculation.
Available land receives a stable daily premium above its original value.
Prices, availability, and requirements stay the same until the next midnight reset.
The full daily market state is saved with your savegame.NPC LOYALTY AND MISSIONS
Standard listings require completing 1 to 5 random jobs for the NPC seller.
Rare gold limited offers require 1 to 10 completed jobs.
Limited offers include an additional Savage discount.
Job progress is consumed upon purchase, keeping the mission system useful throughout your game.
The mod tracks its own NPC job history and supports Better Contracts.
When Better Contracts is installed, its loyalty discounts can stack with standard and gold limited listings.SAVAGE AUCTIONS
Between 5% and 15% of the locked land becomes purple auction land.
Opening bids start at only 45% to 75% of the original map value, not the inflated daily Savage price.
Each auction features 1 to 5 NPC bidders.
NPC maximum budgets are hidden.
Auctions randomly receive one of three moods: Cold Room, Competitive Floor, or Bidding War.
Auctions last between 3 and 8 rounds.
Each bid increases by a random 3% to 8%, with a minimum increase of 5,000 EUR.
When NPCs outbid you successfully, a random fee between 5,000 and 25,000 EUR is charged immediately.
The auction dialog shows the latest fee and your total losses for that auction.
Withdrawing does not incur an additional fee beyond the failed bid fees already paid.
Better Contracts discounts and loyalty consumption are disabled during auctions.MAP PRESENTATION
