The basic needs of the farmer, eating and sleeping (the toilet break is not yet available), are available as a mod for Farming Simulator 19.
The script is not brand new, the tested version dates from July 2019, it had escaped us (thank you Vasile for having unearthed this nugget). It adds 2 elements to the game's hud: a battery gauge ranging from 0 to 100% and a “meal” logo with a counter from 0 to 3. The idea? Feed and rest your farmer before he runs out, in which case he will no longer be able to drive vehicles.
How to play with this mod?
- You are entitled to 3 meals per day (reset every evening at 00:00)
- Driving a vehicle (engine running) takes more energy than walking
- To rest and therefore regain some energy, you must be outside an active vehicle for at least 1 full hour in the game (or have the engine stopped)
- 7 hours of uninterrupted rest resets your energy level to 100% (considered a good night's sleep)
- Every meal you take (remember, max 3 a day!) Also increases your energy bar.
- Each meal takes 30 minutes (the time is advanced automatically)
- You can only eat meals every 3 hours
- Energy up to 0%? You can no longer move any vehicle. Take a break and / or eat something.
The default keyboard shortcut for eating a meal is ctrl + E, but you can change it in the game settings. Attention, the mod is not multiplayer compatible!
