Building Functionality

[Enorats]

Do buildings actually do anything at all? I mean, I get that the silos are functional.. but the rest just don't seem to do anything other than take up valuable flat land. I actually sold all my buildings and just straight up connected all my starter fields to make a far larger field. Got like 100k out of it as well. Hardest part was chainsawing up several trees into small enough bits to pick up by hand and stack in the back of my pickup for disposal (at a whopping like 2k per tree X_X).

Tempted to sell the silo as well, even it seems extremely useless to be honest. My truck can haul my entire harvest several times over in a single go, so it's not like I really need to store anything in the silo. Truck trailers (or even a single trailer) work just fine and can actually move product to boot.

*Most* buildings can be removed if you look under your garage area (where it shows you what equipment you own). In here, more then likely twards the end, you will see the misc. buildings, or "decoration buildings" if you will. It is here where you can sell them to get rid of them.

Now, I say *most* because some objects (like the junk cars and other junk) are actually part of the map itself and can not be removed/sold unless you use something like a map editor.

You need to edit the map and delete them...

While this is true for the buildings that can't be sold, I must caution using an editor to remove items. If you delete an item in a map editor that can actually be sold in game, or delete something that is vital to the map, you can end up with a map that is no longer playable.

Now, I am not saying you shouldn't do this, I am just saying that extreme caution should be taken if you do decide to do this.

Well some buildings are functional, the storage buildings help keep your farm tidy, the silo is important to store crops if you are waiting for a great demand instead, this way you can make more money from the harvest, it's my favourite strategy later on in the game, the workshop is where I change my wheels to wide or slim etc on the fly for the job I'm doing, or change my trailer to a bale trailer or bigger capacity. The animal buildings are needed if you want to have those animals, the water building is also needed for them.

Garage

Scroll thru the list of things you own, pretty much everything can be sold or bought.

figured it out... by creating a new save. that damn shed simply wasnt showing up under the garage menu despite me buying and placing it. at least i was early on in the game. Oh well... I'm going to hang this game up until they release like... 50 patches to fix all the issues. what a bummer.
