Before you start#
- Your game server must already be added. See Add your game server.
- Best Price Alerts, Contracts Board, Used Equipment Lot, Server Progress, Weather Warnings and Farm Alerts read your savegame, so Savegame Scan in Extended Settings must be set up and working. See Farm stats and claims. They all read the base game's own save files, so they work on console servers too.
- If a channel is missing from a list, run
/setupin Discord, choose Update Channels and Roles for Website, then reload the page.
Set it up#
Go to Game servers and click the edit (pencil) button next to your game server.
In On this page, click More Discord Alerts.
Pick a channel for each alert you want. For Best Price Alerts and Weather Warnings you can also pick a role to ping.
Under Weekly Recap, choose the day and hour it posts.
Click Save Server Settings.
To turn an alert off, set its channel back to Disabled - Select Channel to Enable and save.
How each alert works#
Mod updates available#
Every 30 minutes the bot compares each mod your server runs with the latest version on ModHub. When ModHub has a newer one, it posts the mod's name, the version on your server and the new version, with a link. Each new version is posted once. Mods that aren't on ModHub, such as private or ModBarn mods, are skipped.
This is different from Mods Change Notifications (see Player alerts), which posts when mods on your server are added, removed or updated.
Farmland sales#
The bot reads which farm owns each piece of farmland from your server's stats feed, every minute while the server is online. When the owner changes it posts who bought or sold it, with the size and price. Starting a new savegame or map changes lots of farmland at once, so those changes aren't posted. The first check after you pick a channel only learns who owns what.
Farm task activity#
When a farm team adds or finishes a task in FarmLink, in the app or with /farm task, the bot posts it
within 5 minutes. Tasks the savegame scan marks as done show as "done in game". Only tasks added or
finished after you pick a channel are posted.
Best price alerts#
After each savegame scan the bot checks which crops and products are at their best price of the year. When one gets there, it posts it once, and again the next time it reaches its best price. This is the same list as the 🔥 best prices on the server embed and Price Watch in the app. The first check after you pick a channel posts everything at its best price right then.
The same channel (and role) gets great demands: when a selling station pays extra for one crop or product for a few in-game hours, the bot posts which station, how much extra and when it starts. Each great demand is posted once.
Contracts board#
After each savegame scan the bot posts contracts that have just appeared on the in-game board, with the job, field or selling station, reward and when it ends, and open ones again on their last day. Field contracts don't save a reward until a farm takes them, so their reward isn't shown. The first check after you pick a channel only learns what's already on the board. The server's page on the website shows the whole board.
Used equipment lot#
The shop's used equipment changes every few in-game days. The bot posts each machine once, when it first shows up, with its price, how much that is off the new price, its age, wear and how many days it stays on the lot. The first check only learns what's already there.
Server progress#
The bot compares each savegame scan with the one before and posts when players found collectibles (with how many of the map's total are found), and when a construction project on the map moves to its next stage or is finished, with what it still needs.
Weather warnings#
After each savegame scan the bot reads the weather forecast. When rain, snow, hail or a storm starts within the next in-game day, it posts how long until it starts and when. Each weather change is posted once. Only Farming Simulator 25 savegames include start times in their forecast. The bot only uses a scan from the last 2 hours, so with a fast time scale the warning can come late.
Weekly recap#
Once a week, on the day and hour you pick (website server time, US Central), the bot posts:
- Players: everyone who played that week.
- New Players: players whose first visit was that week.
- Total Playtime: everyone's playtime added up. Idle time doesn't count.
- Most Players Online and Uptime.
- Most Active Farmers: the top 5. Players on your Top 25 Ignored Players list are left out.
- Top Sellers This Week: what earned the most at the map's selling stations since the last recap (from the savegame scan). The first recap only starts counting.
- Forestry: how many trees players have planted and how many are fully grown, when the save has any.
Farm alerts#
Every 5 minutes the bot posts the urgent jobs on each farm: crops ready to harvest or withered, animals out of food or water, full manure or production storage, badly damaged machines and empty fuel tanks. These are the same urgent suggestions farm teams see in FarmLink.
- Each job is posted once. If it's done and comes back later, it's posted again.
- A job already planned as a task isn't posted.
- Sections staff hide from players on FarmLink Manage (fields, machines, animals, productions and storage) are left out.
- Nothing is posted while Farm stats for players is turned off, or the savegame is more than 3 days old.
- Crops ready to harvest come from the FSG Server Companion mod when it's on the server, otherwise from the game's own save (console servers). See Field owners.
