Realistic Used Machinery Market v1.4.2.1

Realistic Used Machinery Market v1.4.2.1

Are you tired of spending way too much money on old vehicles and machinery, seeing unrealistic used prices—only for the machine to look like it just rolled off the dealer’s lot brand new?
Then the Realistic Used Machinery Market is designed exactly for that.
This mod adds a fully integrated used machinery market to the Farming Simulator 25 vehicle shop. Instead of simple discounts, it generates unique offers featuring realistic prices, operating hours, model years, technical conditions, visible paint wear, and fixed configurations.

REALISTIC USED PRICES
Real-world used market prices were researched for numerous machines and stored as standard market price ranges.
The price is influenced by factors such as the model, year of manufacture, operating hours, technical condition, paint condition, and installed equipment. Researched models stay within realistic price brackets.

143 RESEARCHED MARKET ENTRIES
The current version includes 143 researched market entries, covering tractors, combine harvesters, forage harvesters, harvesters, trailers, tillage equipment, seeders, mowers, balers, and crop protection equipment.
GIANTS machines and mods without specific market entries can also appear automatically. Their used value is calculated based on the original shop price, machine type, operating hours, and condition.

REALISTIC OPERATING HOURS AND MODEL YEARS
Each offer comes with unique operating hours. For models with recorded production years, the year of manufacture and usage history are linked, taking differences between machine types into account.
After purchase, the operating hours are transferred directly to the native GIANTS value.

TECHNICAL CONDITION AND PAINT WEAR
Each offer has a unique technical condition. Consequently, two machines of the same model can vary in maintenance and condition, even if they are of similar age. Technical wear and paint degradation utilize native GIANTS systems. Used machines show visible signs of wear, with age also affecting the condition of the paintwork. Standard repair and repainting functions remain available.

INDIVIDUAL CONFIGURATIONS
Each used vehicle offer comes with a fixed, pre-existing configuration. The mod uses only those configurations actually supported by the specific GIANTS or mod vehicle.
Consequently, two machines of the same model might feature different tires, engines, or other equipment. The value of these additional features is factored into the used price.

THE OFFER REPRESENTS THE EXACT MACHINE YOU BUY
Each listing displays the manufacturer, model, year of manufacture, operating hours, technical condition, paint condition, key features, and purchase price.
Upon purchase, these specific details are applied to the acquired machine. The listing is then replaced by a new one, potentially featuring a different year, condition, configuration, and price.

DEDICATED USED MACHINERY PAGE
The mod adds a dedicated “Used Machinery” page to the standard GIANTS vehicle shop. Listings are clearly organized according to existing shop categories.
The standard shop for new machinery remains fully intact. Only purchases made via the used machinery page utilize the individual used prices and condition settings.

AUTOMATIC MOD SUPPORT
The mod automatically detects available purchasable vehicles, self-propelled units, implements, and trailers. This allows many additional vehicle and equipment mods to appear in the used market without requiring specific adjustments.

MULTIPLAYER AND DEDICATED SERVERS
Multiplayer and dedicated server support is included. The server manages prices, operating hours, condition, year of manufacture, equipment, and listings, synchronizing this data across all players.
This ensures all players see the same market; if a machine is purchased, the listing is updated for everyone.

GREATER REALISM WHEN BUYING MACHINERY
A used machine is not simply a “discounted new vehicle”; it has its own history—including operating hours, visible wear, a specific technical condition, and existing equipment.
It is therefore well worth comparing the price, operating hours, condition, and equipment of various used machine offers.
