Icon explanation and a few questions
Hi new player here.

Quite enjoying the game. However i seem to not be able to find any explanations anywhere towatds what different icons on machinery and in general means, so i wondered if there's a page its explained on or perhaps a usermanual?

Also when it comes to some sowing machines. They seem to be able to fertilize aswell, least according to icons. Is that happening automaticly while you sow as there dont seem to be any option to anable/disable?

Regarding multiplayer. I'm thinking of doing a dedicated server for a few friends and people i meet. However how does the multiplayer work in general? Do you each start with your own "farm" in different places like in singleplayer or is it shared ground?

Thanks in advance.

The in game help section explains all the icons and such if you take time to read everything in the various categories.

as for the sowing machines, if they have fertlizer in them they will fertilize as you seed automatically no way to turn it off and on.

Multiplayer you are playing on the same farm sharing equipment.

Valid question about the Icons. I didn't know info about them was there for a while until I started doing some digging around.

If you bring up the menu screen (esc) and make your way over to the Help screen (that starts with "Crops" as the initial help section) just hit the areas in the top left to cycle through a ton of really useful info.

It'll help with a ton of other things too and can save you a bunch of trial and error, although the trial and error can be a lot of fun too. :)

a quick way to figure out the crop icons is to check the crop price page. each of them has the icon and the name.

The In-Game Help menu pages does not explain all the Icons. There's the Icon in the store that has 8 small squares and a minus number right after it. I'm trying to find out what it means.

And the same Icon is at the top of the store pages

PC or console? I don't recognise the icon from the description. Could be the 'slots' icon on the console version of the game?

They changed the upper right Icon info. It is the number of slots free to buy different equipment from the store. If you choose from a company you've already have bought from then it's a 1 slot cost but if it's from one you've not previous company it's a higher slot fee.
