FS25 Economic Inflation System V1.1

Inflation System brings real economic pressure to your farm: every month that passes, prices rise. Your costs always outpace your income.
Unlike other mods that adjust prices only once, this mod applies compound monthly inflation that stacks period after period, just like real life.
How it works:
Every month change, the inflation index rises based on your chosen mode
The increase is compound: it stacks on the previous month, not a fixed percentage
Three economic modes to set your challenge level:
Stable: +1% to +2% monthly — calm economy
Moderate: +3% to +5% monthly — constant pressure
Crisis: +8% to +15% monthly, with random spikes — survival mode
The inflation trap: inputs and machinery rise at the full rate, but your crops rise slower (only 40%). The result: your costs skyrocket while your income barely moves — exactly like reality.
What it affects:
Inputs (diesel, seeds, fertilizer, lime, herbicide…) → full rate
Machinery and tools in the shop → full rate
Crops and products → lagged at 40%
Features:
On-screen HUD with current index, monthly inflation and accumulated total
Warning notifications when inflation spikes
Fully configurable from the in-game Settings menu (ESC), no commands or weird keys
Optional annual index reset
Compatible with ALL vehicles and mods
Saves your settings and index per savegame
Compatible with Singleplayer, Multiplayer and Dedicated Servers
Tip: For a realistic challenge, use Crisis mode. You’ll learn to buy early and stockpile before prices rise.
Made with passion for realistic farming simulation.
V1.1.0.0
Added Dedicated Server compatibility.
Added Multiplayer synchronization.
