📋 About This Mod


General Overview of Features:

For more in-depth details on each mechanic: Longevity - Mechanics

Subsidized Crops (NEW):

-Every season, a randomly select crop, specific to the season, is selected as the subsidized crop.

-If a certain percentage of your crops are that subsidized crop, you will earn a tax benefit.

-Default conditions are that you must have 25% of your crops as the subsidized crop, and at least 25 of the subsidized crop.

Dynamic Honey Pricing (NEW):

-Flower based honey (not wild honey) will use a custom multiplier instead of the vanilla artisan multiplier (2x).

-Having a higher ratio of flowers to beehives will increase the honey multiplier (up to a configurable max).

Daily DR Reduction (NEW):

-Beehives will now assist in pollinating your crops; this improves the diminishing return recovery.

-Having a higher ratio of beehives to total crops will increase the daily DR recovery for vegetables, fruit, flowers, and some forage.

Taxes:

-Taxes accumulate over each season; they are collected on the first of each new season.

-There are 4 separate types of tax:

-Income: A progressive tax that is based on your total income over a single season.

-Property: Tax for each building and the current upgrade level of the farm house.

-Capital: Tax on every placed machine (furnace, keg, etc) (this is tracked per day).

-Sprinkler: Tax on every placed sprinkler (also tracked per day).

-When taxes are collected, the player's money is reduced by the outstanding tax.

If the player has less money than taxes owed, the wallet will be reduced to 0;

outstanding tax is added back to income for next season with a 5% penalty.

Dynamic Pricing:

-Items in the player's inventory will change price based on a number of changing factors.

-There are several types of price influence; listed as follows:

-Base Influence: A percentage adjustment of the item's base price (the vanilla base price of an item).

-Skill Influence: An increase in specific items based on player's level in certain skills.

-Seasonal Influence: An increase in item price if the current game season is not the item's 'in-season'.

-Relational Influence: A price increase in certain items based on the relationship level with certain NPCs.
