The maximum number of contracts and the amount generated per cycle are automatically adjusted to the number of fields on the map.

You can immediately generate new contracts through the “New Contracts” button, or delete all of them with the “Clear Contracts” button.

You can sort the available contracts by type and field number, by total profit, or by profit per minute, to make it easier to find the one you desire.

You can set the allowed maximum number of concurrently active contracts.

With the “Details” button you can toggle on/ off the display of additional contract information. Like cost estimates for usage materials such as fertilizer, herbicide, or seeds. For harvest and baling contracts, it shows the minimum amount to be delivered and the amount that you can keep (and sell). From this, it calculates the total profit value for a contract, i.e. reward minus the cost for fertilize/ spray/ sow contracts, and reward plus the value of kept harvest for harvest/ baling contracts. It even estimates the time you will probably need for total completion of the job, by taking into account the work speed and work width of the appropriate leasing vehicles/ tools that are offered with the contract.

Disclaimer: All values shown in details display are ESTIMATES. You should not take them absolutely, but rather as an indication of what contracts to prefer among others.

The mod keeps track of the number of contracts you completed for each of the NPC farmers (the number of completed jobs is displayed below the farmer’s image, if “Details” is on). If you enable the optional discount mode or hard mode options (on the mods settings page), the amount of completed jobs influences gameplay.
