I like the decision to make your own calls rather than outsourcing most ideas from suggestions. Personally I think it makes for more enjoyable videos. It's been fun following your challenge and seeing how it differs from my own broke to billionaire series thus far, good luck on the fresh start!

My recommendation, based on how I have made decent money in Game in the past, is to take contracts, where you borrow all the equipment, because usually it’s a very small hit to the overall payout. Then, you hire AI to do all the work for you. You can have three contracts running in base game at one time. Even using workers to do all of that, ultimately, you will make a profit. And by borrowing all the equipment from the farmer, you’re working for, you aren’t increasing the wear and tear on your own equipment. And, you then have time to work on whatever you want to work on while your workers are making you money.

Silage is always profitable and cheap to get into.
Maybe cotton would be good too, cloths production even

HA stands for hectars, which is the area of 100m x 100m which is a nice round 10000 m² ❤
The acre Americans use is about 4000 m² so each acre is 40 % of an hectar

I like to play 5x speed with two days in a month. I feel like it gives me the opportunity to take on larger projects, or multiple projects without really slowing down progression.

Let's go a new billionaire series who's with me

[HyphenDude]

Actually surprised you went with the sprayer rather than the spreader from before that had a HUGE coverage area.

[filippocarletti]

I suggest 1 day per month at 3x speed, since the series is gonna need to be a lot of years to get to 1 billion. Just hire a lot of workers to get everything done in 1 day (some months you can do 1x or 0.5x if needed).

I just would like to avoid having multiple videos on the same month, cause it gets a bit boring, just hire a lot, it re-pays easily

i gotta say with this series, as much as i enjoy it we gotta be real with ourselves, 31 episodes in you didn't even have 200K in the bank, you're never going to get to $1 billion if you don't either; A) use generators extensively or B) get a lot of other players involved to help work the land with you.

no matter how much land you buy there's only so much work one man can do in a real world hour, you're gonna hit a wall on exponential growth and be grinding thousands of hours, which you'd surely get tired of before you even get to 100 million, nevermind 1 billion. even if you somehow made 1 million every single hour you'd be spending 1000 hours on this, and i can promise you there's no way you even make that 1 million every single hour when you're working alone and without generators.

in my opinion if you want to commit to this series (which i would be very happy about) you gotta get a good group of players together to run the farm with you, maybe from your discord server or some of your own personal friends. obviously to make real use of multiple players you'll first need to get the capital together for the land and equipment which means you could continue solo for a while, but as you make money you'd reinvest it into everything you need for a new player one by one, with enough people you'd cut down the time this will take massively, potentially into the low hundreds of hours rather than thousands.

i worry if you don't do something like that this series is just dead in the water, based on your rate in the "first season" we'll be on episode 155, 000 by the time you reach $1 billion

Hey Pickle. Fertilizing contracts are very profitable. If you press B on and off while fertilizing you will still get the contract fulfilled while using only a fraction of the fertilizer.
Also, contracts in general are profitable, since you can have AI doing the work while you focus on other stuff.

[janlodewykpretorius]

The "ha" for land size stands for hectares😃 We use it here in South Africa😁🇿🇦
I'm excited about the new series!!

[ktrrstan]

You could use this leasing mod. It makes game a bit easier but it's much more enjoyable and it's kinda satisfying when you lease piece of equipment for some time and finally make money to buy it of

Henry Ford supposedly said "If the customers were allowed to decide, they'd have asked for a faster horse instead of an automobile". Sometimes, the consumer doesn't really know what they want aside from quality content. As long as you're passionate and inspired about what you're playing or creating, it's going to be quality. And conversely, if you end up forcing your way along while hating every moment, the quality won't be there.

[TommiHonkonen]

the first thing you should get is gps and if you do more herbicide deffo get the extra things for the sprayer

[jacobellsworth]

you are my favorite current farm-sim you-tuber since Mr. Chow.

[jaredlangdon]

On those fertilizing contracts, when you've got just a sliver left, hit them from a 90 degree angle from where you have been. Line up on them, you only have to pull forward a little bit while spraying, it'll waste so much less fertilizer

[nonunga]

In my humble opinion regarding rules:
1. No solar panel strat allowed, solar panels are allowed just not to the point where everyday you get enough money to buy another one (hopefully this makes sense).
2. Regarding time speed, I don't see an issue on you fast forwarding depending on what you want to do. Playing in a fixed speed lets say 5x can be painfully slow some times.

Those are my to rules lol, I don't have more ideas. But as a viewer i don't really care that much tbh. imo just play the game where it feels fun to do it and not a painful task. I will watch regardless lol.

edit: for example, mods like super strength just to pick up heavy things without having to use a forklift or something, i wouldn't count that as cheating, it just a quality of life improvement but that's just me cause i get how some people can see that as cheating.

[ToxicMinecraftV]

i think you should get better contracts mod you can also do contracts and the more you do the more discounts you get on land they own by doing contracts.

[briansmith]

I like the idea of sticking with silage, since it will feed your animals also. Those baling contracts always netted you bonus cash from extra bales in the last series, and they're easy. A mower, windrower, baler, and the baling trailer would be the extent of the equipment you'd need to own and your current tractor would handle anything in that respect you threw at it.

[dakotahgoodin]

Love the fields you bought, that’s my favorite place to start. I think you should stay away from land flipping, it’s just not a realistic practice. I like 1 day months at 5x speed but honestly don’t think it matters for you to variable the speed. I’d really love for you to attempt to make your farm aesthetic. When placing your home and generators and pens and what not, just be conscious of aesthetic. The chicken coop was awkwardly crammed in last time, I think it’d be great to have an episode every once and a while where you work on aesthetics, like maybe taking out some trees by the pond and building your house there, maybe putting in a driveway, etc.

Love that the series is back, here’s to a fresh start. Cheers.🍻
