*** BETA - This mod is under active development. Features are functional but may contain bugs. ***
Makes farmland acquisition more realistic and strategic. Field prices reflect their actual crop value, and not all fields are always available for purchase.
Features
========
- Negotiation system - buy and sell farmland through offers and counter-offers, with independent toggles for purchases, sales, and unlisted offers
- Crop-value adjusted pricing - field price includes estimated harvest value
- Limited field availability - fields rotate daily with seasonal variation
- Five difficulty presets - Easy, Normal, Hard, Harder, Realistic (or off)
- Adjustable base price per hectare
- Watchlist - track farmlands you are interested in and get notified when one goes up for sale or its cooldown ends
- Map color coding - for-sale and unavailable fields are visually distinct, with a color-blind palette
- All settings accessible from the in-game settings menu
Notes
=====
- Multiplayer compatible

- Added Watchlist notification when a watched farmland's negotiation cooldown ends
0.6.0.0 (Beta - 2026-05-09)- Watchlist and notifications
- Added Watchlist - track farmlands you are interested in via the map's Farmlands subcategory and the farmland action menu, with a notification when a watched farmland goes up for sale; persists across save/load and isolates per-farm in multiplayer
- Added three independent negotiation toggles: Negotiate purchases, Negotiate sales, and Unlisted offers (replaces single on/off toggle)
- Added save migration from old single negotiation toggle - existing saves automatically map to all three settings
- Added color blind mode support - farmland overlays and legend switch to blue/orange when enabled in game settings

- Fixed seller counter-offer going below their minimum acceptable price during negotiation
- Fixed NPC buyer offer exceeding their maximum willingness to pay during negotiation
