| Description | Real Seeders
This mod dynamically adds new seed types matching the crop types present on a map, which you can use for sowing. This lets you, for example, use real wheat seeds to sow wheat. You can buy matching seed pallets and big bags in the shop.
Sowing machines only accept the seed types they are suitable to sow. Front tanks generally support all seed types. If you load a specific seed type into a sowing machine, it can only sow the corresponding crop. To switch to another crop, you have to change the seed.
So that you can play in multiplayer with and without the need to use the matching seed, the use of standard seed remains possible. You can therefore also sow with normal seed and select the crop to sow via the Z key.
If you want to do completely without standard seed, you can block the use of standard seed in seeders. Then you can only use the new seed types in seeders. Matching standard seed pallets and big bags are then also hidden in the shop. You can enable or disable this option individually in the general settings, so mixed play styles are also possible in multiplayer.
In addition, you can choose the preferred pallet type for unloaded seed. You can choose between the new seed pallets, the new seed big bags and the standard seed pallets. Depending on the selection, the matching pallet or big bag is then used automatically when unloading seed.
This mod also greatly expands the options for using tramlines:
The F1 menu is extended with a display for controlling the sowing machine. Besides statistics such as the sown area and the amount of seed and fertilizer used, you will also find controls for more precise sowing and a tramline system here.
First, you can switch between the "Manual", "Semi-automatic" and "Automatic" modes here. In manual mode you have to increase the count of the driven lane for the tramline system manually by key press or click in the HUD. The semi-automatic mode increases the lane count automatically every time you lower the sowing machine. The automatic mode follows a specially generated GPS course which, when active, automatically controls the half-side shutoff of the sowing machine as well as the tramline positions.
In every mode you can manually override the tramlines and the half-side shutoff by key press or click in the HUD. In automatic mode, GPS control resumes as soon as its calculated state matches the manual selection again.
To give you maximum control over your sowing machine, you can also toggle the sowing machine's fertilizer function on and off via a key or the HUD.
You can also reset your sowing machine's statistics at any time, e.g. to track the amount of seed or fertilizer used for a new field. The total counter is not reset and keeps counting from the purchase of the machine.
When using RealSeeders tramlines, it is advisable to disable Precision Farming tramlines for the respective field, as otherwise they overlap with the tramlines created by RealSeeders.

The prices of Big Bags and pallets are based on two factors: the amount of seed required per square metre and the yield or sales value of the fully grown crop.
Crops with a high yield or selling price may therefore have more expensive seed. For crops with a lower yield or sales value, the seed is correspondingly cheaper. The required sowing quantity also affects the price: if a large amount of seed is needed per square metre, the price is lower. If only a small amount of seed is required, the price is higher.
These factors counterbalance each other and ensure that seed prices remain proportionate to the future yield of the respective crop.
