CUMA – Shared equipment V1.0.0.4

CUMA brings agricultural equipment cooperatives into Farming Simulator 25. You can join one, pay the membership fee, and borrow tractors, tools, and machines by the hour. It gives you a cooperative to work with while you drive, use, or build with the equipment.

Open the shop menu and you will find the new CUMA tab. It shows the cooperatives in your game, the selected cooperative’s description, monthly membership fee, current hourly rate, and number of members. You also get the Leave, Borrow, Move the area here, and Reset buttons. The whole fleet is there too, with condition, age, hours, value, hourly price, and availability. A machine can be available, being repaired, or borrowed by another member.

Features

• Fleet details guide the suggestions. For rotary harrows, the Kredo 3 (165 hp) works with the CUMA’s tractors (95%). The 330 and 440 hp models show as Impossible because they are too large for the tractors currently available.
• Membership and rates
  • Pick just one CUMA at a time. You can leave after a minimum of 1 year.
  • The monthly membership fee follows the value of the fleet, and every borrowing charge is hourly.
  • The hourly rate moves with the in-game season. Sowing and harvest cost more, winter costs less, and the rate does not depend on how often you borrow equipment.
  • Every CUMA shows its number of members, and that number changes slowly.
• Cooperatives with character
  • You get 2 to 4 CUMAs per game, or more if you create them. Each one has its own description and equipment to match. That can be a small village without a combine harvester, a valley with a combine harvester and recent equipment, large-scale farming with powerful tractors and a plough, or livestock farmers with a telehandler, forks, spreaders, and haymaking equipment.
  • Machines are picked from the game’s shop, including mods.
• A realistic fleet
  • Watch age, hours, wear, breakdowns, and repairs across the fleet. Machines are sometimes loaned to other members, and the fleet is renewed over time.
  • The tools match the tractors’ power, so there is no tool that is too large.
• The delivery area
  • From the CUMA page, choose Move the area here to place it. Its orientation follows your camera.
  • It has 5 spaces and yellow and black markings.
• Propose a purchase
  • Available types include all my machines directly from the shop, new or used, including the game’s used vehicle tab.
  • You can trade in a machine from the fleet.
  • The chance of acceptance depends on need, compatibility, and budget, based on the number of members and potential income.

Installation and tips

Copy the zip file into your mods folder, activate it in your savegame, and open the shop menu. The CUMA tab is the last one.

For the delivery area, use the “Place the area here” button.

The mod is still evolving, and updates are planned.
