Introduction
So your having a little bad luck getting started with your farm,
The money’s always going down and pretty soon your running into the negative balance often.

Since as you’re waiting for your newly corps to grow and mature everything else is costing you money.
- Bank loan
- General Farm Running costs
- Vehicle maintenance and running costs
- Hiring the AI Worker to Cultivate, Plant, Harvest,

Your going to need a Steady hourly income to offset all these cost and give you a hourly profit after all its not just crops that can make you money there’s Other “Fire and Forget“ things that can make a little cash to cover stuff. Or even act like a insurance should a crop die or you run out of fuel
Walkthrough: Part 1 - Selling a few things off
Start a New Game [Easy] or [Normal]
- Try and do these 3 Parts as Quickly as Possible
[The loan intrest and Vehicle maintenance are going to be steadily chewing down your balance]

Press [P] to Open the Shop Screen and navigate the list to [OWNED]
And SELL All 4x - There old slow and just eating money

Sell it - You will need the money

- I have a 2x All in One Replacement for the 2x below


After your done Selling press [P] then go onto the next Part 2
Walkthrough: Part 2 - Bank! "More LOAN Money Please!!"
Press your [Insert] / [Ins] key to Open your Account Screen
You want to Borrow The maximum -$200,000 So keep clicking [Borrow] till it grays out


After that you should have $227xxx


Press your [Insert] / [Ins] key to Close the Account Screen

Go on to Part 3
Walkthrough: Part 3 - A Steady Hourly Income (Place & Forget)
Press [P] for the shop screen and Navigate to [Placeable Objects]

Scroll the list down till you see Solar Collector and [Buy] one for $125,000



and place it down by your house



click [Back]

Optional step: (skip if you want A 2nd Solar Collector but allow the first Solar Collector to build up the money, (Won't take long on x120 Game time speed))

and scroll up the list and buy and place 3x Beehouse’s ,



When your done click [Back] and Press [P] to exit the shop screen.
More Info: Beehouse, Solar Collector, Wind Collector [Place & Forget]
The Beehouse will pay you 24x Hourly Payments of $60
(That’s a total of $1,440 Income a day Per Beehouse)
- The 3x Beehouse’s Helps in playing the Maximum Loan Interest + A.I Worker Hiring
- Try to build more of them

The Solar Collector will pay you 24x Hourly Payments of $380
(That’s a total of $9,120 Income a day Per Solar Collector)
- The money made covers Seed for New crops, Fuel Plus Help Pay for New things, Repay loans
- Try to build more of them

The Wind Collector will pay you 24x Hourly Payments of $4,000
(That’s a total of $96,000 Income a day Per Solar Collector)
- Your money problems are over
- Build lots of them

Other Tip: Beehouse & Solar Collector are a interesting way to Sponsor you with New Drivable Vehicles (Tractor, Harvester, Crop Sprayer ect….) and cover there running costs (maintenance and fuel) so if you get a new Vehicle put also a Beehouse for each one you have (It also covers the maintenance costs of your tools (Seeder, Plough ect...))

[In your Early days this is a [b]slow & painful process[/b] but it soon starts paying for itself in the long run it gets quicker.

Once your crops have grown and been Harvested the profit from selling them becomes Surplus Profit (I.E Money that doesn’t need to go towards bills / loans) Even For bonus Surplus Profit money you can also wait out for Great Demand’s to show up]
2 All In 1 - Replacement



The better Replacement for both is

- In V 3.0.0 it has a Interesting BUG
> If you grow Wheat then Harvest it and leave the Straw
It will NOT Remove the Cut Straw when you replant the field
> Useful if you want to stack up a few layers of cut straw to fill up the square baler much faster and produce extra bales.
Changing the Game Speed
Press [ESC] and on the brefing screen click the [<] to Go to Game World [Settings]




And Increase to 120x Speed


NOTES:
- 120x doesn’t Speed up your Vehicles, They run at normal speeds which is a bit of a problem [read on].
- 120x Speeds Up Your Hourly Payments [Yay!]
- 120x make the days pass by faster and the weekends that much closer [Yay!]
(However Not in Real Life [Boo!])

- 120x Speeds up Your Corps Growrh and Expire/DIE Faster
- It also Makes Crops Grow Unstable and Patchy [see helpful hint]
(Some parts are Ready Before other parts - A Bit of a pain when your Vehicles always run at the same speed regardless of time speed)
[Problematic due the AI Workers Quit when they hit a Unready part or DEAD part if there’s no more Ready Parts nr by] )

Press [ESC] and on the briefing screen click the [<] to Go to Game World [Settings]

NOTES:
- 120x doesn’t Speed up your Vehicles, They run at normal speeds which is a bit of a problem [read on].

Helpful Tip - 120x is Useful During Corp growth & Hourly Money
BUT Don’t use it if your Seeding - > Lower the Game speed to [Real Time]
For BOTH seeding and harvesting at real time you can take your time with a Number of fields
Once your done you can speed the game back up to 120x and watch as the hourly money rolls in

Enjoy your game with your new found knowledge.

You need to go inside documents in games to change the money you got in your save.

You could also press seven and eight. Eight makes time go faster Seven makes tome go slower

Great guide, and could be even better if you corrected your typos and grammar. Ya I know, grammar cops are dorks, but when it comes to guides, you want it to be as perfect as you can since it lends to your professionalism and the quality of the guide. No?
Again, great guide and I actually learned things I didn't even know about the game.

If you get the Bank of Hagenestadt mod you also need to edit the bankofhagenstadt.xml file in the save folder as well to have the same money amount
