Welcome to the future of farming! This update brings a revolutionary shift to your agricultural endeavors, granting you unparalleled control over your fuel production with the Biodiesel Refinery. Say goodbye to external markets as you harness the capability to convert vegetable oil into diesel fuel, all at the tip of your fingers. Join us in this transformative journey towards self-sustainability.
Biodiesel Refinery
Empower your farm with self-sufficiency! The Biodiesel Refinery now grants you the ability to produce your own diesel fuel, eliminating the need to rely on external markets. Transform vegetable oil into diesel fuel seamlessly. Toggle the Bio-diesel refinery on or off effortlessly with a right-click or the X button on your gamepad.
The Biodiesel Refinery requires a Biofuel Production Permit (unlockable in the license menu) to build and 5 Reputation Points to unlock.
Oil Press
The Oil Press introduces versatility to your crops. It converts selected crops from your storage into vegetable oil. By default, corn is transformed into vegetable oil, but the Oil Press can also process sunflowers. Switch between crops with a right-click or the X button on your gamepad, but note that changing crops resets the production timer.
Witness a streamlined process: at the timer's start, the press automatically pulls one crop from storage. Upon completion, it adds 10 vegetable oil units to your storage.
Unlock the Oil Press with 3 reputation points.
Updated Harvest Sell Buttons
Experience enhanced selling efficiency! Hold down the single sell button with a mouse click to continue selling until the button is released. Introducing a new sell percentage of inventory button, defaulting to selling 33% of the total crop inventory. Adjust the rate with the slider, ranging from 1% to 100%. Enjoy a visual update and confirmation audio sounds for the sell buttons.
Remember, direct storage sales still fetch a reduced price compared to market orders.
