Player Conduct

Treat others with courtesy, respect, and good faith. No cheating or exploitation.

New Players

You receive 500 k cash to start your farm & equipment. Use it wisely – this is the only grant you’ll ever get at start. Check Shady’s used equipment lot for bargains. He offers “buy‑here, pay‑here” plans if you lack credit. Renting gear lowers initial cost.

Returning Players

We give you a fresh start with 350 k cash.

Property & Permits

• View property listings on the map legend before buying or leasing.
• All players must request a building permit when constructing on owned land.

Getting Around the Map

No driving across fields you don’t own. Use public parking if you have no land; avoid impound lots.

The Rental Center

Open 24/7, offering basic farm equipment for rent at reasonable rates. Return rented gear via the website; clean, refuel, and repair (cost covered by rental center). Failure can result in fines & loss of access.

Land Ownership & Limits

• No limit on lot ownership, but each acre counts against your total acreage.
• Players start with 200 acres; server limits apply per server. Check main page for specific limits.

Slots

Each player starts with 300 slots. Slots are used to buy equipment, buildings or factories. Earn more by completing contracts (5 slots each) or import/export/WSS trucking contracts (2 slots each).

Acre Limits & Futures Contracts

Earn additional acres via futures contracts: every 500 futures acres gives you 10 real in‑game acres.

Leased Land

Lease ends after 36 days (1 game year). Leased acres count toward your total. Sub‑leasing requires owner approval.

AI Helpers & Equipment Use

• AI helpers are allowed; pay the server wage.
• Never use equipment that isn’t yours without permission.

Animals

Transport animals yourself. Keep them healthy – if health reaches zero, they’re removed. Sell to butcher or hospice for profit.

Contracts & Work

Accept contracts for logistics, waste management, DOT work, snow plowing, grass mowing, WSS driving, etc. Complete or cancel so others can take them. Doing contracts earns additional slots.

WSS Driving Contracts

Free equipment provided; deliver supplies to factories across all servers.

Farmers Supply

Purchase basic supplies at the Farmers Supply Silo. Enter amounts correctly (e.g., 10, not 10000). Supplies are not sold back once purchased.

Factory Resources Manager

Meet the local manager to find suitable factories and start ownership.

Banking & Loans

• Overdrawn checking accounts incur overdraft fees; may lower credit score.
• All loans must be taken through official licensed banks. No private loans between players.
• Instant loan up to 300 k, no waiting. Interest based on your credit score.
• Higher loans & mortgages require good credit & a plan.

Savings Accounts

Up to 99 M dollars; monthly interest at 3 % (1.5 % if you have an outstanding loan). Withdraw anytime without penalty. Interest paid only if your main checking has a positive balance.

Certificates of Deposit

Buy CDs for higher returns and boost your credit score.

Mortgage Tips

1. Your credit score: established via small loans paid back on time.
2. Income history: provide receipts for recent seasons.
3. No defaults within last 7 game years.
4. Affordability: discuss with loan officer before approval.
5. Regular savings habits help demonstrate financial responsibility.

Credit Score

Earn credit by completing contracts, buying CDs, and maintaining savings without frequent withdrawals.

Other Businesses

No insurance, stock or market managers outside official channels. Treat unknown services as scams.

Account Inactivity & Leaving

• Accounts inactive >60 days are deactivated and items auctioned off.
• New accounts must be active within 21 days or auto‑deleted.
• Leaving: sell all land back to Global Title, deliver equipment to Shady before quitting.

Admins

Ask admins for help. They have final authority on rule interpretations. Avoid heated Discord arguments; may lead to bans.

Modpacks & Content Creators

Mods are private and cannot be shared or sold. Broadcasters must avoid copyrighted brand names, alcohol, drugs, etc., and accept liability for content.

Donations

We’re a free community; donations help cover server power costs. Optional monthly subscriptions or one‑time donations accepted.

Community Values

We prioritize cooperation, not competition. Success is earned through work and learning. No shortcuts or buying success.
