FS25 Seasonal Prices v1.1

CHANGELOG v1.1:
HOTFIX: Compatabillity patch with other mods changing e.g. PIGFOOD (see notes above) [#11]
NEW: It is now possible to spawn pigfood as pallets
Just as the weather changes with the seasons, so does the supply and demand of various products. Keep an eye on the market to catch the best prices during the year. It might be worth the time and money to invest in seeds or lime well in advance before the planting season starts.
FEATURES:
– More realistic pricing over the year with seasonal variation added for additional filltypes.
– The variation of prices makes each year slightly different and the game will feel less static.
– Products like TMR, fuel and herbicide that normally have fixed prices will now get support for seasonal variation (due to console limitations this only affects sell price).
– Base prices are not changed, whatever base price is set by the map and other mods is maintained.
SUPPORTED FILLTYPES:
– FORAGE, PIGFOOD, DIESEL, ELECTRICCHARGE, METHANE, LIME, FERTILIZER, LIQUIDFERTILIZER, HERBICIDE, SILAGE_ADDITIVE, MINERAL_FEED
COMPATABILITY NOTE:
Due to the hotfix needed because of the base game bug causing some mods that change the same filltype to cause errors (e.g. this together with “BigBags Everywhere” mod), this mod now -unfortunately- overrides the behavior of BigBags Everywhere, resulting in pig food being spawned as pallets being instead of big bags.
If you still want to have pig food spawning as big bags you need the optional “Seasonal Prices (BigBag Patch)” mod, this will restore the behavior of BigBags Everywhere mod.
