This mod introduces CUMAs, agricultural machinery cooperatives, to Farming Simulator 25. Join a cooperative, pay a membership fee, and borrow tractors, implements, and machinery by the hour.
A new “CUMA” tab appears in the in-game shop menu.
Features
- The CUMA page shows the cooperatives available in your save game, the selected cooperative’s description, monthly membership fee, current hourly rate, number of members, and buttons to Leave, Borrow, Move Zone Here, and Reset.
- The fleet view includes the condition, age, operating hours, value, hourly rental cost, and current status, such as available, under repair, or borrowed by another member.
- Equipment suggestions are based on the existing fleet. A Kredo 3 power harrow requiring 165 hp is compatible with the CUMA’s tractors with a 95% match, while 330 hp and 440 hp models are marked as “Impossible” because they are too large for the tractors currently in the fleet.
- Membership and rates: You may join one CUMA at a time and leave after a minimum of one year.
- A monthly membership fee is charged based on the value of the fleet, and equipment rentals are billed by the hour.
- Hourly rates fluctuate according to the in-game season, with higher rates during sowing and harvest and lower rates in winter, rather than according to how frequently you borrow equipment.
- Each CUMA displays its number of members, which changes gradually over time.
- Each game session features 2 to 4 CUMAs, or more if you choose to create them. Each has its own profile and corresponding equipment.
- Examples include a small village setup without a combine harvester, a valley-based cooperative with a combine and modern machinery, a large-scale cropping operation with high-horsepower tractors and plows, and a livestock-focused group equipped with telehandlers, forks, manure spreaders, and hay-making gear.
- The machinery is sourced directly from the in-game shop, including modded equipment.
- Age, operating hours, wear and tear, breakdowns, and repairs are simulated. Machines may occasionally be loaned out to other members, and the fleet evolves over time.
- Tools are matched to the power of the tractors, with no oversized implements.
- Place the delivery zone via the CUMA page using the “Move zone here” option. Its orientation aligns with your current camera view.
- The delivery zone includes 5 designated spots marked with yellow and black lines.
- You can propose the acquisition of any machine available in the in-game shop, whether new or used through the game’s “used” tab.
- Trade-ins of existing fleet equipment are possible.
- You can configure the machine with engine options, features, realistic color schemes, and other available options.
- The likelihood of a proposal being accepted depends on necessity, compatibility, the cooperative’s budget based on the number of members, and potential revenue.
- After submitting a proposal, you must wait a few in-game days before making another.
Installation and Tips
Copy the .zip file into your mods folder and enable it in your save game. Then open the in-game shop menu, where the CUMA tab will appear at the end.
Use the “Place zone here” button to position the delivery area.
This mod is a work in progress, with further updates planned.
