Contracts

[Markucjo]

I think adding a contracts :

• requests for a set of crops or produce (like 100 parsnips, 25 pumpkins, 100 jellies)
• available at NPC on train station during last days of a month (and first of the next one, like 26, 27, 28 and 1, 2, 3)
• some additional requirements (like all kale must be at least silver quality, combined set of crops required 25 of both, worth of jellies at least 150g, quality of aged roe at least silver)
• could somewhat scale (probably based on finished contracts, with later ones being 350 parsnips (farming ~60 of them through one spring)

could be a good thing, for a game, as something to spice the farming/produce side.
Gotta hit the right place balance wise, to still allow freedom in farming and not make this all about contracts.

Nice idea for those who play for optimal farming. Maybe this could get harder automatically with the players income or capabilities.

Personally I play SDV more as adventurer and farming is just basis to do so. So as you said "Gotta hit the right place balance wise, to still allow freedom in farming and not make this all about contracts."

You kinda get that from special orders right? Like ship 100 ginger island products, ship 300 blueberries, ship 500 qi fruit, ship 100k fresh cooked food

Yeah, I'm with Zen_the_Ogre... this is already represented on the Special Order Board which becomes available in Fall Year 1.
