The Field Mission Systems

[BigC92]

I think you should get a little bonus reward for completing the entire field, not a big reward, just a little reward is all, im sure 90% everyone completes the field and collect the reward, i get 3/ of a field done and it says contract for field 10 has been completed, but you still have a little bit left. Just a thought. I love the new missions system.

there kinda is as we get what ever is left over from selling at least on the harvesting missions we do.

[BigC92]

No, i mean for like cultivating, planting, fertilizing. I know everyone knows that trick, lol.

[Noraf]

The bonus should be the feeling of a job well done.

Since they started with contracts, there have always been a bit of an wiggle room

[Guil]

I think it's set at something like 80-90% to complete it. It's there to allow for missed bits etc.

Do you get a bonus for completing an entire day at work irl?
If you hire a worker to cultivate, plant or fertilize your fields, would they deserve a bonus upon completion?

[Crazof]

I'm not concerned with the extra bonus for completing the entire field, but what I think would be neat especially with the addition of seasons would be longer term contracts, perhaps you pick them up over winter, then in the fall after the harvest is complete you deliver the goods... i.e. such and such brewing is looking to purchase 150K liters of barley, to be delivered to "x",

Think its good to be able to complete the contract like today, so ppl that have missed a spot or two can finish the contract if they want to. However, I don't think completing the contract at 90% should give you full payment. 100% completion should give 100% payment or a bonus on top of how it is now. Think Giants should change that, so you actually get motivated and can choose to do a proper job and finish it all.

There were missions like that in older versions, including 15. But Giants likes to remove functionality for some reason, so those missions were deleted beginning with 17. Pallet missions were deleted from 17 as well, but now they're back, so maybe they'll bring back the other delivery missions.
I with they'd also allow us to have more than one mission going. I'd like to play part time contractor, where I accept several missions and hire help to work them. That's what I do now, but we're limited to one job at a time.

I only do spraying and fertilizing missions myself (on New Woodshire at least). They pay nice and it doesn't take long at all to do the whole map. I just drive to the field, hire a worker, and go about my business until it's done. Switch back to the contracting tractor, move it to the next job, rinse and repeat. I'm making $3-5k per field and don't have to do anything other than drive the tractor there.

[FarmerJimbob]

Same here, there’s always a lot of fertilising jobs on EL and they’re quick to do. Helps justify having a dedicated sprayer and if I should decide to buy the field before its harvest ready it means I’ll get a better yield out of it.

there is a mod on pc that let's you have more then one contract at a time i watch a streamer/s as the 1 i watch has other's play with him that also stream they use that mod but i don't know the name of it. i know console use to be able to do that but it was changed with an update as we used to be able to take 1 finish and grab more before having to turn them in and could use the same equipment which i miss being able to do.

Thank you for the heads up. I didn't even think to look for a mod.
It's called MultipleMissions, and can be downloaded from outside mod sites.

[cwattyeso]

Yeah they really screwed the pooch and console players with the update that stopped you from stacking contracts. I used to borrow equipment for a Fertilising Job complete that job, then accept the next fertilising job and use the same leased sprayer for that. I'd basically do my contracts in batches, all the Fertilising Jobs, then all the Harvesting Jobs, all the Cultivating Jobs and all Sowing Jobs. You can't do that anymore which is such as shame as you can't accept a new contract on console until you actually cash in and return the equipment for the first contract.

Thankfully on PC with the MultipleMissions mod you can still do this.

[FarmBoss]

I don't understand why they remove game play functions that people find handy.
If they didn't like that players reused the "borrowed" equipment, they still could have allowed multi contracts as long as you use your own equipment, or equipment you leased through the store.
I guess the easy route for them was to disable multi contracts completely.
