In addition, on the High level of complexity, you will be limited in acquiring machinery and equipment. This opportunity will directly depend on your rating. The higher it is, the more powerful and efficient equipment and equipment you can afford. For rental, these restrictions do not apply.
We recommend the following levels of difficulty for starting a career, depending on your skills and experience:
Easy: for newbies of this series or similar cards.
Medium: for confident Farming Simulator players who have gone through the DC.
High: for experienced farmers who are not afraid of difficulties.
Career start
Welcome! You have arrived at the Priozersk railway station. This is the center of the picturesque region. The area is favorable for the cultivation of various crops, livestock, logging. In the region there are many factories and factories, as well as the greenhouse complex. The once thriving collective farm ‘Golden Ear’ has ceased to exist due to poor management. To cover the debts, the owner sells his property today. You face the task of reviving the collapsed collective farm ‘Golden Ear’. Be careful in your plans and decisions. The choice of a strategy to achieve the goal is yours. Use every opportunity! Dare!
Career Start – Sale
The bankrupt collective farm ‘Golden Ear’ owned various property: fields and farms, warehouses and yards, livestock farms, machinery and equipment. Today, all this is sold at a reduced price. You have a unique opportunity to participate in this event. You can inspect and purchase equipment on the Farm. Information on the objects you will find in the Real Estate Agency. Until the completion of the sale, the Bank, the Labor Exchange, the Store and the Garage equipment do not work. If the money in your account is no longer enough to buy the property, the sale will end. You must have time before closing, before 18:00. For the early completion of the card menu provides a button “Exit sale”. After completion of the sale of the remaining property and equipment will get other farmers. At your disposal 400.000, use them wisely.
Career Start – Competitors and Leaders
In the region there are other farms whose owners are not less than yours aimed at success. During your career, you will interact with them: hire them to work, purchase fields, building plots and factories from them. Some of them are more accommodating, some less. Also, from the start of a career among these competitors, a leader will be chosen by chance! He will strive to buy everything in the district, he is rich and ambitious. It will not be easy to buy property from him, as his prices are very high. Who is your main rival?

Simultaneous viewing of several windows is available (it is necessary to turn off the ‘Use one menu of objects’ setting). In such cases, in order to activate one of them, you need to LMB (Left Mouse Button) click on the name of the object.

Rating
Rating is the most important feature. Without it, successful development is impossible. The rating value is proportional to your possibilities when buying property. When a rating of 50 is reached, you will be able to purchase land plots (a separate help section is devoted to this). At the ‘high’ level of difficulty, you will be limited in acquiring machinery and equipment. This opportunity will directly depend on your rating. With its growth, you will open more and more powerful and effective machinery and equipment. This will require you to be more careful when making decisions. Do not forget that most of the actions, one way or another, will affect your rating.

In the case of tenders, you can, by adjusting to them, adjust your plans for sowing, harvesting fodder, wood, or try to sell it all in fact. Maybe you will get warehouses and wait for more lucrative offers. In addition, the possibility of renting or acquiring plants and factories.

If you play with the RM_Seasons modification, the prices of crops and goods will constantly change throughout the year.

Economy – Contracts
Companies specializing in various products operate in Priozersk and neighboring cities. Periodically, these organizations put up contracts on the Stock Exchange (see the section ‘Organizations – Contract Stock’) requests for the supply of a certain type of raw materials or goods (tenders), and local farmers try to sign contracts with these firms by offering their terms of delivery.
The task of the farmer is to offer optimal conditions under which the company signs a contract with him.
Cargo delivery to the enterprises of neighboring regions is carried out through the railway station or port. During the execution of the contract it is impossible to buy the goods necessary for the delivery, and, conversely, if there is a purchased product, it will not be possible to sign a contract for this product. You must first process the purchased volume of goods in the relevant enterprise.
Organizations
All objects are located in the city and work from 8-18h. To begin, they must be detected, after which the corresponding icon will appear on the map.
With the exception of the Labor Exchange, all organizations are accessible from the main menu of the map, but only for viewing information. For signing contracts, contracts, obtaining a license, hiring you need your personal presence. You can quickly move through the map view (Esc key).
Organizations – Real Estate Agency
All contracts of sale / purchase of fields, territories, factories are concluded in this agency. In addition to the price of each object there is a requirement for rating. The higher the loyalty of the seller to you, the more compliant he will be during the transaction. For its conclusion you submit an application, then wait until the owner gives an answer. The price may be higher than the nominal value because the owner did not plan to sell the property. If the property belongs to the leader – his prices are even higher. The owner may refuse to sell his property, then the request for this object will be unavailable until 8 am the next day. Sometimes the agency will inform you about the urgent purchase of real estate on favorable terms. Price and rating requirement will be lower due to urgency.
The agent of this office is a numismatist, he will help you to make any transaction, even if you do not have enough rating. However, in return will require the amount of coins proportional to the missing rating. But remember, each such transaction negatively affects your rating.
* Organizations – Construction Company
Will appear in the next updates.
Organizations – Forest Protection Committee
A license for logging is issued at this organization. The forest protection committee demarcated the local forests into zones. When registering a license, you can select the zone, the required number of trees, their type and the validity of the permit. Based on your choice, the cost will be formed. After registration of the license, a small movable window will appear with current information about its status. It can be closed / opened through the main menu of the map. In addition, if you have an active license from one of the zones, then when you try to cut a tree in the other, you will see a warning in the center of the screen. On your own fields, bases and plots you can cut trees without a license and without penalty. Planting trees is allowed everywhere.
Remember! Illegal felling of trees will have a negative impact on your rating and it will hit you hard.
Organizations – Contract Exchange (1)
All contracts are in this organization. The list of actual requests (tenders) from various enterprises and plants for the supply of goods and raw materials is posted on the Contract Exchange. For convenience, there is a sorting by crop (goods) and customer enterprises.
In each of the tenders, the opportunity to choose the cost of a cubic meter of cargo and delivery options is available. Three ways of delivery:
1. The entire volume of the contract for the proposed time.
2. Half the volume in 2 hours, the second part in half the proposed time.
3. The entire volume of the contract for 2 hours.
Along with you, other farmers are fighting for the tender, offering their own conditions. Managers of firms are not inclined to trust “newcomers”, so all entrepreneurs have a reputation with each of the companies (see information about the tender, next to the name of the organization, the number in the asterisk). Its maximum value is 10.
The best of conditions, in the opinion of the management of the companies, are displayed in the information on the selected tender – these are your direct competitors. To obtain a contract you need to offer a better deal.
Organizations – Contract Exchange (2)
Factors affecting the choice of the company when considering proposals:
1. The reputation of the farmer in this enterprise. Management values ??stability.
2. The specified cost per cubic meter. The lower, the more attractive, and vice versa.
3. Selected delivery option. The shortest time is beneficial to the customer. The longest delivery option will have no effect.
Having defined your own conditions, you can offer them by clicking the appropriate button. You have 3 attempts, in case of the third refusal the tender will be closed for you.
Two services are available to you through a broker in this office: ‘Check’ and ‘Force’, to use, you must click the corresponding buttons in the tender window.
‘Check’ – allows you to know whether the company agrees to the current conditions. The cost of the service depends on your rating (total) and the selected difficulty of the game, starts from 1500 and reaches more than 10,000 for one request. The number of requests is not limited.
Organizations – Contract Exchange (3)
“Make” – allows you to force the company to sign a contract on your terms. The cost of the service is 2-5 gold coins, it depends on the general opinion of the management and the size of the price indicated per cubic meter. It is worth remembering that when concluding a contract with the use of coins, even if it is successfully completed, you will not receive a +1 point either in the rating (total) or in the reputation of the organization.
Successful completion of the contract increases your reputation by a point, but its disruption in terms of delivery or delivery reduces by a point.
Be careful when determining the cost per cubic meter in the tender, because a significant excess of the starting price may not like the company’s management, and your reputation will drop by 1 point. This is possible when interacting with organizations that assess your reputation by 3 points or more.
After signing the contract a window will appear with the relevant information. The maximum number of concurrent contracts: 8.
In addition, a list of all existing contracts, the ‘Active Contracts’ button is available from the map menu.
Organizations – Labor Exchange
Here you can draw up an employment contract. Do you have free time or need some income? Local farmers provide short-term work in their fields. For registration, you must select the field and start execution. For the successful completion of work, in addition to cash, you also increase the owner’s loyalty to you, which will further help in concluding transactions with him.
Farm
A great place to place and base the economy. For vehicles and equipment, a refueling station, a washing ground, carports, garages and hangars are provided here. The territory is equipped with storages for fuel, seeds and fertilizers, root crops, grain and two bulk cargo warehouses. In addition, there are various outbuildings, including a workshop, a canteen and a place of rest for workers. On the territory of the farm there is a railway branch for loading / unloading grain, root crops and bulk cargo.
