Settings

A server admin can switch off individual Revamp features for the whole savegame and change some numbers. For a modder this matters for one reason: it is no reason to write your own XML differently. All entries in the production XML stay valid and take effect again as soon as the admin flips the switch — there is no state in which an entry is permanently lost.

Where this is found

• Settings → Game Settings → “Production Revamp”: belongs to the savegame; in multiplayer the admin sets it once for everyone. Anyone without admin rights does not see this section at all. Saved in a separate revamp.xml in the savegame folder.
• Settings → General Settings → “Production Revamp: display”: applies only to your own screen, needs no admin rights and changes nothing about the gameplay. Saved in modSettings/FS25_ProductionRevamp/settings.xml in the profile folder, so set once and valid for all savegames.

If the file is missing or a value in it is unusable, the default applies again for exactly this value — the rest is kept.

The switches

Switching off does not just mean “without effect”, the controls for it disappear as well — what does not exist should not be clickable either.

Switch	Default	What “off” means
Distribution	On	The Distribution view in the Manage dialog can no longer be reached, the product list shows “(Distributing)” again instead of the target names, and the game distributes according to its own rule again (by free storage space of the receiver) instead of by the configured levels
Storage extension	On	The output mode “Keep” can no longer be selected — the mode jumps from “Distributing” directly back to “Storing”. “Spawn goods” disappears from the menu bar, and the trigger at the building opens the normal production menu again
Buy ingredients	On	The “Buy” button disappears from the Manage dialog
Sell products	On	The “Sell” button disappears from the Manage dialog
Weather and time	On	Recipes no longer depend on weather, season and time of day: every line runs around the clock at full rate, and the condition lines disappear from the recipe display
Ingredient choice by players	On	The Production lines view in the Manage dialog can no longer be reached, the ingredient and booster choice that the modder set in the production XML applies again

Nothing is lost in the process. Configured distribution targets including level and limit, goods set to “Keep” and the chosen ingredient and booster modes stay saved in the savegame and apply unchanged as soon as the switch is on again.

Buying and selling are deliberately two separate switches: “selling yes, buying no” is the more frequent wish, because buying in bypasses the logistics and selling does not.

The numbers

Setting	Default	Meaning
Buying and selling allowed for	Production manager	Everyone – all members of the farm. Farm manager – only whoever is listed as farm manager in the farm. Production manager – whoever has the “Manage Production Points” permission
Distribution costs	100 %	Scales the delivery costs. 0 % delivers for free, 200 % costs double. Affects both the charge and the cost preview in the Manage dialog
Direct selling price	90 %	Share of the market price that selling directly at the production point pays. 90 % is exactly the value the base game itself uses — so the default changes nothing

Both factors are a selection in steps of ten from 0 to 200 %, not a number input: that way it can also be operated with a gamepad and no nonsensical value can come about.

If a player lacks the permission, the “Buy” and “Sell” buttons are not there at all. The restriction does not only apply to the buttons: in multiplayer it is also checked once more on the server before any money actually changes hands.

Hiding displays

Three switches that each player sets for themselves. This is deliberately not an admin matter: if one player finds a line too crowded, that is none of the other players' business on the server.

Switch	Default	Meaning
Parallel production icon	On	The icon in the production menu that shows whether a production point runs all lines at the same time or one after another
Show building costs	On	The monthly upkeep costs per production point in the production menu
Show distribution targets	On	The primary targets behind the name of every good in the product list

Porting from FS22

The trade permission and the two factors already existed there, with three differences:

• The permission now also applies to selling, in FS22 only to buying.
• The fourth level “Nobody” has been dropped. Anyone who wants to block trading completely uses the separate switches “Buy ingredients” and “Sell products” — which can additionally do this separately.
• The FS22 switch for the priority system for distribution has been merged into the module switch “Distribution”, it no longer exists twice.

All other switches are new. Not back yet are the FS22 settings for the mission correction and the price correction — the corresponding features themselves have not been ported yet and will return together with their own tickets.
