Red Tape

Enhance your farming experience with the Red Tape mod, introducing greater complexity and realism through three innovative systems: policies, funding programs, and taxes.

Policies are real-life inspired requirements that farmers must adhere to, such as preventing water pollution and ensuring species-appropriate animal care. Compliance is evaluated using a point-based system, which may lead to financial bonuses or penalties based on feedback.

Funding Programs offer optional guidelines, like government incentives for cultivating specific crops. Participation can reward you with machinery (e.g., a combine harvester) and financial incentives for your produce. The quality of programs and rewards is linked to your compliance rating.

Tax System operates realistically: profits incur state taxes, so strategic planning is essential to minimize tax burdens. Losses can be carried forward, potentially reducing future taxes.

Roadmap

• Long-term: Random events (e.g., tractor theft)
