Red Tape
A mod that adds depth to the game by introducing Policies, Schemes and Tax.
Policies include animal welfare and environmental regulations that, if not followed, can result in fines or other penalties.
Schemes offer opportunities for additional income or benefits but may come with their own set of requirements.
Tax adds a layer of financial management, requiring players to budget for regular tax payments based on their farm's income and activities.
Your performance in complying with Policies can impact the quality of rewards from Schemes and even offer tax benefits.
