In the dairy year
Winter fields rest. The barn does not. Bills do not. A small passive cadence keeps the account from freezing while you plan rotation and organic transition.
This is not a replacement for milk and grain. It is the baseline so the year can breathe.
The feel
Hourly or daily pay, scaled by difficulty, touched by season. Every farm on a multiplayer map is paid on the host. No duplicate cheques. A HUD and a history exist if you want to watch it.
How it works
The cheque is:
base amount × income multiplier × seasonal multiplier
Base amount is your custom figure if you set one, otherwise the difficulty preset:
| Difficulty | Base amount |
|---|---|
| Easy | $5,000 |
| Normal | $2,400 |
| Hard | $1,100 |
Multiplier options are 1×, 2×, 5×, and 10×. Hourly and daily pay the same total over time. The rhythm is what changes.
If seasonal effects are on:
| Season | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Spring | 0.8× |
| Summer | 1.0× |
| Autumn | 1.2× |
| Winter | 0.7× |
Settings and the timer save with the savegame. Ten languages ship. On a dedicated server the host’s settings apply to every farm, and each farm is paid independently.
What you see
Press I for the live HUD: current mode and amount, recent payments, and the seasonal multiplier when it is active. Right-click to drag and resize.
Press U for the full income report: settings summary, total and average earnings, and the payment history with day, time, type, amount, and seasonal modifier.
Settings live under Esc → Settings → Game Settings → Income Mod: enable, pay mode, difficulty, multiplier, custom amount, seasonal effects, notifications, and HUD.
On the Farm Tablet the Income app shows status, payment mode, amount, and an enable / disable toggle.
How you use it
- Set the cadence and the amount to taste.
- Use it as a floor, not as the whole economy.
- Read the Income app on the tablet if you installed that desk.
The outs
Tax sees it. Time Guard times it. Workplace Triggers are another way a map spot can earn. Together they are optional cash chapters, not a finance pack you must own as one product.
What you need
This mod alone pays. Time Guard is the nicer clock. Nothing else is required.
How it connects
