Crop prices

[JerryT]

Is it just me or are the prices you get for selling crops way to low? I mean I could farm Rabbits, Chicken, and Green Houses, and make moe for less work. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Farming should be the main moneymaker IIMO.

I was thiking the same thing.

thinking the same thing .

i can agree i delivered 31000 tons of wheat and only got 7000 thousand for it its so weird that you get nothing

[Sound Zero]

You sure that wasn't 31000 pounds?

Which would only be 15 tons...

[♥♥♥♥ The World]

yeah i meant pounds

[MillionVoices]

I second this. Atm it feels kind of pointless growing crops which is a bit crazy as it is supposed to be a Farming Sim or did I buy the wrong game? (looks at receipt).

[Sound Zero]

I think prices are fine. They are supposed to go up and down. Considering the amount of time it takes to grow, which is about a day from what I've seen, I don't see the problem.

[MillionVoices]

For me it's definitly more than a day. And if you take into account what amount of work you put in one field to maximise the profit prices are way too low. Especially regarding the cost for new machinery, animals and so on.

I use workers for fields...so maybe that's why I see it differently.

[MillionVoices]

For some tasks I use workers too, but to be honest, I don't want to play a farming sim, when all work is done by some AI. For me it is part of the "fun", to do these kinds of work myself. But when I do, I expect a form of reward for that and usually this is the amount of money you get, when selling the crops.
In its current state it is much more profitable to simply run some Greenhouses and get some animals, especially because the handling of for example cows is so much more simplified than in "other games" (you know which I mean).
If only the water drain wouldn't be so absurdly high in the greenhouses....I mean come on....12t of water for just one load of tomatoes? Bit much, but at least the water is free.

To conclude: For me, the game at its current state doesn't reward it enough if you manage your fields yourself and try to make a living from that. In LS the animal thingy was optional, but you could do well just doing your fields and crops. I would love to see that here too, because at the beginning it is really not that easy to earn enough money solely through the usage of fields.

I found so much to do outside crops, with quests and animals and greenhouses that I didn't want to bother with the tedious parts of the field. But I don't disagree with you, overall. Just saying for me I didn't notice low prices. It didn't seem to really change anything I was doing.

But I don't play FS that way either. I always take my time and build up slowly. Once you own all the fields and equipment, for me, there is no real reason left to play.

Prices are set by the ton or tonne and we sell crops by the pound.

Ghostmane,, the thing is in the "my first farm" you cant hire workers cuz its bugged in that playmode, so you have to do every thing your self untill thy get it fixed, me i stopped every thing that have to do with field work and only doing chickens/rabbits and green energy

i agree, in FS once i had all the big equipment the game became boring. There was nothing else to work towards getting. This game offers much more to explore.

I play in Free Mode. But I do understand the bug is there, and plan to explore My First Farm mode once bugs are ironed out.
