Test Run/Drive Equipment?

Post by Drew39 »

Is this an option outside of buying/leasing something? I don't think it is but thought I would ask anyway.

No, there isn't. You'll have to either buy it or lease it.

Thanks for the response. Should be an option though don't you think?

I like to have a save specifically for testing equipment, cheat in a bunch of money and then buy and make sure whatever I’m getting works the way I’d wanted it to

I do it exactly like Mwal said above me here.
I do it with testing all mods before I place them in my actual game. That's how I test to see if animal pens/factories etc works fine without issues.

Also for this I can recommend the Store Deliveries mod when doing this:

So you can buy the equipment where you want to test it and save time driving to/from shops when testing..

Other than what Mwal suggested, the next option would be to get lucky and find a contract that uses whatever you're looking for. A test drive feature would be a nice add though.

Exactly what I’ve done/do since I started playing the game with 19.Also handy for landscaping(but turning auto save off helps).What I’d like is the option to buy the machines you lease.Say a minimum of a weeks lease and you could then have the option to purchase.Only as I like to accumulate hours on my machines😂

Other option in your main save: turn of automatic saving, buy or lease the equipment you want to test. If you like then save, if not, quit the game without saving.

That’s also realistic. We rent machines and the rent is taken off the purchase price fairly often if we decide to buy.

I've always thought this would be a good feature too.

I'd like the option to rent equipment rather than lease. Much cheaper to rent something you plan on using only occasionally.

The way leasing works ingame it actually should be called renting, not leasing. Good point.
