Reduced maintenance costs | Mod Review | Farming Simulator 22

my main issue is the maintenance kost after 4 ingame years. i had 2 medium fields seeded and repair was 4k again on a 110k tractor. that makes no sense. early on it was that over 2 years. so it increases with time just like the stupid property maintenance that started at 300 but has reached 800…

Fri., Dec. 10, 2021 Mr. Farmer, when I click on the download link for the Reduced Maint mod, this is what comes up: Verringerte Wartungskosten 1.0.0.0. Is that the correct download? Thank you sir.

The painting cost is stupid. I bought a brand new Case 7250 and after 11 hours the cost to repaint is over $20000. 2 months of use no one repaints.

I just got FS22 and I totally forgot how much I despise building collisions. Any idea when console will get that mod?

Hey! Thanks so much for help with this 🙂 But I wonder in lua script after I open it, which number changes the prices?

ReduceMaintenanceCosts = {};

function ReduceMaintenanceCosts.prerequisitesPresent(specializations)
return SpecializationUtil.hasSpecialization(Wearable, specializations);
end;

function ReduceMaintenanceCosts.registerOverwrittenFunctions(vehicleType)
SpecializationUtil.registerOverwrittenFunction(vehicleType, "getRepairPrice", ReduceMaintenanceCosts.getRepairPrice);
SpecializationUtil.registerOverwrittenFunction(vehicleType, "getRepaintPrice", ReduceMaintenanceCosts.getRepaintPrice);
end

function ReduceMaintenanceCosts:getRepairPrice(superFunc)
return superFunc(self) / 2;
end;

function ReduceMaintenanceCosts:getRepaintPrice(superFunc)
return superFunc(self) / 2;
end;

It is the "2? So 1 should be normal price, 2 half, 4 quarter etc? I get it right? thanks 🙂

I wish there was a way to see how damaged the used stuff is before you bought it. The other day I bought a cultivator but then when I went to repair the cost was so high it wound up costing almost exactly what a new one would. This mod will help that situation though.

maintenance isnt that big of a deal, but painting cost, and how fast paint decays its just ridiculous

This mod may be a good compromise, but I really think the repair, and repainting system is way too fast, a few months and 15 used hours is far too quick for a new machine to need a full repair and paint job. A new machine should last a year or 2 and several hundred hours of use before needing much work, you should not be needing to repaint a brand new tractor, before your first harvest.

I was really surprised the first time I had to repair. But after thinking about it, real life repair costs for farm equipment is stupid expensive. I wish Giants would model damage created by driving too fast on rough terrain or crashing into things. Those are costs that really eat up real farm profits.

I'm new to FS. Is maintenance decay just a set constant as you use the vehicle? I've been trying to discern whether bumping into things (aka head on collisions with oncoming cars) and the like cause it to reduce faster. I also wonder if things like pulling too big of loads with tractors causes it to drop faster. If anyone has any insight, thanks.
