I have a greenhouse and fruit tree operation. After running it awhile and comparing it to other parts of the game its fair. To ratchet it up means buying flat ground, bigger machinery for larger buckets and dedicated water tankers of much larger size. You also must have a complementary dairy/pig farm. When I'm playing hard mode none of the prices scale very well with cost of equipment at the beginning. You have to be creative to make money right off the bat when its impossible to scale.

I see what you mean, I will save them for later, or emergencies. I found nice way to make emergency cash in seasons, but I do try to behave lol.

I saw the post above related to the feed requirements for the pigs and wanted to share this with everyone. This is good no mater if your a console or PC player and these figures represent the current release of seasons. I have a new version that reflects the lower feed requirements I will update once that version of seasons is released.

No more guessing as to how much food or straw is needed by X number of animals with seasons play.

Any word from Realismus when the next version is expected for release? The mod just keeps getting better and I'm excited to see where they take the next updates.

Thanks a bunch Farmer Klein for what your doing. I downloaded this to plan out my dairy operation and how to plan ahead. This verified to me the issue of current pig farming in seasons. I'm betting this helped the modders as well. Thanks for the work you put in.
