RealLifeNumbers v1.0.1.3 FS22

This mod has two main objectives: To define a game environment mimicking real-life farming. To enable players to individualize the game using a simple editor.

This mod has not been written for Multiplayer mode. Nor has it been tested in Multiplayer mode. One group has reported that they use the mod on a server in multiplayer games. So it is worth trying. Play on hard economic level.

Version 1.0.1.3 1. Added xml files for the Hof Bergmann map. 2. Added xml files for other German maps.

Version 1.0.1.2 1. RealNumbersCropGrowth.lua: Made a few bug fixes so it is possible to have two winter crop cycles. 2. RealNumbersFieldPrices.lua: Made a few changes so lease contracts terminates in January. The lease cost decreases progressively toward January. A new lease contract can be signed from February till December. 3. RealNumberContractRewards.lua: Added the possibility of disabling some warning messages.

Version 1.0.1.1 1. RealNumbersFillTypes.lua. Have added the filltypes netwrap and twine, to make the mod compatible with the mods FS22_twine_addon and FS22_netwrap_addon. Store prices looks at first to be to low. However, the actual price shows inside the store. Set real-life prices in the respective mods, not in RealLifeNumbers.

2. All scripts reading xml files have been changed, so that savegame index 0 is used when no savegame index is defined. This is the case for multiplayer clients. Players wanting to be clients in a multiplayer game should place the xml files in a folder called modSettings/RealLifeNumbers/savegame0.

Version 1.0.1.0 1. Same as version 1.0.0.10. Renumbering was necessary to place the newest version at the top of the download list.

Version 1.0.0.10 1. RealNumbersContractRewards.lua. An aperiodic error has been observed. The cause is unknown, but it is likely to occcur when FS22 deletes a mission while the script is in the process of running a periodic update of mission data. Attempts have been made to make the script more tollerant toward this rare event. 2. RealNumbersFieldPrices.lua. Nothing new has been added to the script. It does not seem to cause game crash when also using the new mod FS22_Fieldlease by KR Software. However, Fieldlease will calculate its lease prices based on the buy or lease prices defined in RealNumbersFieldPrices. The consequence of running both scripts is a double scaling.

Version 1.0.0.9 1. RealNumbersContractRewards.lua. Upgraded with xml file and adapted to FS22_SupplyTransportContracts. 2. RealNumbersAnimalScaling.lua. Fixed an issue occuring at the end of the month. Other additions: lAlt-rh prints a list of all keyboard commands.

Version 1.0.0.8 1. RealNumbersAnimalScaling.lua. Animal scaling parameters now in xml file. 2. RealNumbersLoan.lua.  Defines interest rate and max loan amount. 3. RealNumbersFieldPrices.lua. lAlt-ry lists predicted crop yield 4. RealNumbersSprayTypes.lua. Adjusted spray rates. 5. RealNumbersCropGrowth.lua. lAlt-rs changed to lAlt-rg 6. Three versions of all xml files: France, UK, US Heartland. If you create a good set of xml files for another country, state or region, put your name in the top of the files and mail me a copy for inclusion in a future update. – Small fixes in parameter values.

Version 1.0.0.7 1. RealNumbersCropGrowth.lua. This script allows the mod user to define unique crop growth calendars for each savegame. This allows the user to design realistic crop calendars for maps in different regions/states/countries. The user specifies the seed month and harvest month for each crop type. The script then adjusts the growth state transitions to make the crop reach its harvest state at the specified harvest month. The script operates with two growth cycles for each crop. This way, you can achieve many different types of cycles. 1 cycle: make the parameters of both cycles identical. 1 winter seed cycle and 1 spring seed cycle. 2 spring seed cycles in parallel. 2 crop cycles in sequence. The script limits the harvest season to one month for each crop. Each cycle has its own harvest month. The user can turn off the requirement for rolling for each crop. Take a look at the uploaded images. Warning. The script may alter the growth calendar for crops in your savegame. The safest approach is to start a new savegame. If you want to use the mod on an existing savegame, this is possible, but it may change the crop growth cycle of already seeded crops. Most likely the crop will not reach its harvest state in the specified harvest month. Things should work as intended, for crops seeded after installation of the script.

2. RealNumbersFieldPrices.lua. This script now uses an xml file. This allows the user to make unique lists of rentable fields for each savegame. Also the pricePerHa and the rent cost may be set uniquely for each savegame. The distribution zip file now contains three additional folders. FarmingData: Documents with growth calendars for EU and US. It also contains an Excel file with loads of relevant data for farming in
