I just noticed this in the overview and confused what this means, anyone know why it's in the red?

Re: Vechicle Overview
Very low value left, so you get this warning. You will only get peanuts if you sell this one
Re: Vechicle Overview
How many hours do machines get before the value plummets?
Re: Vechicle Overview
In short:
By default, lifetime is defined as 600 (hours) in all vehicle/implement xml.
With reaching 600 usage hours, operatingTimeFactor will be 0 or even negative. This results in the minimum sell price of 3% from new value.
Long story:
Sell price of vehicles is driven by this function:
So it is not just pure usage hours. Also the age has significant impact.
Ignoring repair/repaint costs, lets calculate a few examples:
A: Combine bought new for 350000. Used for 8 hrs per year.
Assuming 12 ha/hr this is roughly equivalent to 100ha/year harvested.
After one year, sell price has already dropped to 259000 (operatingTimeFactor = 0.987, ageFactor = 0.75)
After 3 years with same usage pattern, sell price dropped to about 215000 (operatingTimeFactor = 0.96, ageFactor = 0.64).
After 6 years with same usage pattern, sell price dropped to about 184000 (operatingTimeFactor = 0.92, ageFactor = 0.57).
In this example, the age plays a higher role compared to the pure usage hours.
B: Implement bought new for 50000. Used for 20hrs per year.
For implements, motorizedFactor = 1.3 instead of 1.0 for motorized machines.
After 3 years with constant usage pattern, sell price dropped to about 21000 (operatingTimeFactor = 0.658, ageFactor = 0.64)
After 6 years with constant usage pattern, sell price dropped to about 4500 (operatingTimeFactor = 0.16, ageFactor = 0.57)
In this example, usage hours are playing the higher role.

Code: Select all
calculateSellPrice
Description
Calculate price of vehicle given a bunch of parameters
Definition
calculateSellPrice()
Code
function Vehicle.calculateSellPrice(storeItem, age, operatingTime, price, repairPrice, repaintPrice)
local operatingTimeHours = operatingTime / (60 * 60 * 1000)
local maxVehicleAge = storeItem.lifetime
local ageInYears = age / Environment.PERIODS_IN_YEAR
StoreItemUtil.loadSpecsFromXML(storeItem)
-- Motorized vehicles depreciate differently
local motorizedFactor = 1.0
if storeItem.specs.power == nil then
motorizedFactor = 1.3
end
local operatingTimeFactor = 1 - operatingTimeHours ^ motorizedFactor / maxVehicleAge
local ageFactor = math.min(-0.1 * math.log(ageInYears) + 0.75, 0.8)
return math.max(price * operatingTimeFactor * ageFactor - repairPrice - repaintPrice, price * 0.03)
end
