2022-04-24 Herbicide Spraying Festival
2022-04-24T06:38:21Z New farming day has started, FS22 back up and Start From Zero Spring Creek 12km loaded up. Let's spray 
Had 4.3k liters / 48% of product left in the tank but decided to hop back to the dealership for a refill before heading out to the next group of contract fields. Fill her up.
Purchased 4k liters of herbicide.
2022-04-24T06:49:15Z Arrived at F183, opened the boom, ready to start spraying. I love this shizzle so frigging much! 
2022-04-24T06:58:14Z Finished spraying herbicide F183.
2022-04-24T06:59:03Z Started spraying herbicide F268, contract.
2022-04-24T07:05:07Z Finished contract on F268.
2022-04-24T07:07:24Z Started spraying herbicide F266, contract.
2022-04-24T07:10:12Z Finished contract on F266.
2022-04-24T07:11:04Z Started spraying herbicide F265, contract.
2022-04-24T07:13:26Z Ran out of herbicide, heading back to the dealership for a refill.
Soon I'll need to buy semi-truck with liquid tanker trailer to haul some product for me
Purchased 8k liters of herbicide.
Restarted game for some game.xml edits, bumped up viewDistanceCoeff and lodDistanceCoeff to 3 and foliageViewDistanceCoeff to 2 (assuming it is a bump up). Then added Contract HUD mod which should show me the progress on contracts, it would be really helpful.
Also change savegame directory names so that Spring Creek 12km Start From Zero is number one, not number twelve which was annoying to scroll into.
When seeing Contract HUD in-game the first time was really disappointed that it shows all contracts, now this would not be a problem for farmer who only has one of two active contracts... but I currently have SEVENTY THREE (73), so the list goes top down across the screen which is unacceptable. Contract HUD would be awesome if it only listed contracts with more than 0% completion, or otherwords would filter out 0% completed contracts.
Wonder if I could get in touch with the author to add that feature, hmm.
But at least you can turn it on and off with ALT-M.
2022-04-24T07:37:16Z Finished contract on F265.
Even though 73 contracts on the screen was unacceptably intrusive, it did help me to keep track on the progress, so while its really ugly, its still useful for the purpose.
Next is a big F182, this will take at least one refill for sure heh.
2022-04-24T07:40:37Z Started spraying herbicide F182, contract.
Ran out of herbicide as expected, refill time. I am thinking more and more of purchasing semi-truck with liquid tanker trailer because driving back and forth for refill with rubicon was fun at start, but now it becomes a chore...
Budget now 321.9k so would have plenty of money to buy such setup, but dunno, I want to get my own rubicon 9000 with GPS first.
Who knows maybe after this huge batch of spraying and fertilizing contracts are done, then we move in the season to the phase where different kind of contracts are available.
Purchased 10k liters of herbicide.
2022-04-24T08:27:51Z Finished contract on F182.
Next was another big field, F179, even larger than what got just finished. Cool.
2022-04-24T08:30:27Z Started spraying herbicide F179, contract.
Ran out of herbicide, off to the dealership for a refill. Current budget 421.3k and plan is to get enough money for a rubicon 9000 with GPS so I can start to use GPS heh, then continue doing fertilizing/spraying contracts until have enough money to purchase semi-truck with liquid tanker trailer.
Purchased 8k liters of herbicide.
Ran out of herbicide, back to the dealership we go. Uuh, we need a variable spray usage mod for FS22 
Purchased 10k liters of herbicide.
Ran out of herbicide, back to the dealership, again.
Purchased 10k liters of herbicide.
Ran out of herbicide, back to the dealership, again and again
Purchased 10k liters of herbicide.
2022-04-24T10:35:35Z Finished contract on F179.
Uuuh that was a looong contract!
Collected contract reward which was quite a big too, budget now 608k. Enough to buy my own rubicon 9000. Off to the dealership
2022-04-24T10:43:29Z Arrived to the dealership, unloaded herbicide from the sprayer, collected contract reward for F335 which returned the borrowed vehicles, budget now 655.1k oh my.
Saved game, just in case, have some precious progress here unsaved at the moment.
- sprayer rubicon 9000 with gps 504k
Purchased the above, budget now 151.1k.
Felt so GOOD to have my very own rubicon 9000 with GPS, now I get to use GPS and courseplay finally, no more pain and suffering trying to decipher where is the weeds area in the field, heh, awesome! Edit: this is not according to original Start From Zero - Getting Started and Rules which state that you have to own vehicle AND land to be able to use courseplay/GPS.
Plan is and I assume will be using GPS quite many hours now, somehow it feels like why use courseplay with a single vehicle especially as its so piece of crap GUI intergrated in FS22. Maybe if I buy the semi-truck with liquid tanker trailer and haul some product while courseplay runs the sprayer on the fields, dunno.
But for now, hours of enjoyment with GPS 
2022-04-24T10:54:15Z Started spraying herbicide F247, contract, with GPS
Edit: aaand there you go, using automation tools before you own land and vehicle is against Start From Zero game-mode rule set, this savegame is now invalid. Shame on you.
2022-04-24T11:06:08Z Headland done and engaged GPS the first time, ahh my good old frield
2022-04-24T11:11:20Z Second full pass complete and now its my lunch time...
2022-04-24T11:43:27Z Feeding time over, back to herbicide spraying.
Oh night is falling quick ...
2022-04-24T11:47:45Z Ran out of herbicide, its time to buy the semi...
Mack pinnacle 6x4 semi-truck was on sale for err dunno how many percentage off, bought it for 40k. And UTTS-32000 liquid tanker trailer for 58k. Budget now 53k, just enough to buy some herbicide heh.
Purchased herbicide tanks for all the money I had, budget now 217 heh.
2022-04-24T12:00:17Z Refilled, back to spraying.
2022-04-24T12:04:05Z Finished contract on F247.
Next was F309 which has few gaps in it but overall its probably one of the biggest today. Its now pitch black night time, hmm I'll start this field but most likely have to give up and time accelerate until morning daylight, its a new terrain and all I don't want to work at night in darkness.
Nevermind, after driving to the field edge in darkness, yeah I'm so going to time accelerate for daylight. Its now in-game 1947hrs. Time accelerated 5000 speed to in-game 0650hrs, goood moorning Spring Creeeek!
2022-04-24T12:09:09Z Started spraying herbicide F309, contract.
Unfortunately right after beginning headland game started to say "you have no access to this land", now it could be just contract bug but it could be some issue with the terrain, dunno. End result is, have to cancel this contract.
2022-04-24T12:16:29Z Started spraying herbicide F238, contract.
2022-04-24T12:32:44Z Finished contract on F238.
2022-04-24T12:45:08Z Started spraying herbicide F232, contract.
2022-04-24T12:49:44Z Refill of rubicon complete, we continue spraying...
2022-04-24T13:03:16Z Finished contract on F232.
2022-04-24T13:04:22Z Started spraying herbicide F228, contract.
2022-04-24T13:30:35Z Refill time! Only had 5k liters in the liquid tanker trailer, its now empty. Next refill must be through semi-truck trip to dealership and back to refill its tank. Too many refills.
2022-04-24T13:39:04Z Finished contract on F228.
2022-04-24T13:39:48Z Started spraying herbicide F225, contract.
2022-04-24T13:42:21Z Rubicon is out, ok time to send semi-truck to haul some herbicide.
Purchased several 2k liter herbicide tanks, didn't count.
2022-04-24T13:58:23Z Rubicon topped up, spraying continues.
2022-04-24T14:12:10Z Finished contract on F225.

2022-04-24T14:40:58Z Refill time!
2022-04-24T14:47:03Z Finished contract on F226.
Sprayed F222 but it was so small not worth to write down two lines heh, it was two passes and very short field, quite the change for the few recent monster size fields which require over 5 refills or so heh.
2022-04-24T14:52:11Z Started spraying herbicide F221, contract.
2022-04-24T15:04:29Z Sprayer refill time and relieving myself time
Liquid tanker semi only had 5k liters again, one tanker is empty. I am missing FS19 variable spray rate mod so bad right now 
2022-04-24T15:21:21Z Sprayer is out. Okay time to send semi-truck to fill up at the dealership, again.
Purchased unholy amount of 2k liter herbicide tanks again.
2022-04-24T15:36:47Z And we're rolling again.
2022-04-24T15:40:40Z Finished contract on F221.
2022-04-24T15:43:19Z Started spraying herbicide F224, contract.
2022-04-24T15:47:59Z Finished contract on F224. And with that, its my lunch break...
2022-04-24T16:16:47Z Feeding time is over, alright last call for tonight, whoah where has this day gone, feels like I just got started. Anyways lets press on for few more hours, but I think this savegame "for now" has ran its course, there is not much more to gain unless I expand into buying land and more vehicles for various field work categories, and for that, I'm not sure its time yet... definitely not today. Somehow I feel that tomorrows plan is to do something else, not sure what but just not continue this savegame.
We'll see how it goes. For now, few more herbicide spraying contracts.
2022-04-24T16:21:48Z Started spraying herbicide F212, contract.
2022-04-24T16:28:23Z Finished contract on F212.
2022-04-24T16:30:11Z Started spraying herbicide F208, contract.
2022-04-24T16:34:34Z Sprayer is empty, time for the refill semi-truck to roll in.
2022-04-24T16:47:38Z Finished contract on F208.
2022-04-24T16:49:27Z Started spraying herbicide F207, contract.
2022-04-24T16:54:31Z Finished contract on F207.
2022-04-24T17:01:54Z Started spraying herbicide F205, contract.
This is another big field and definitely will be last for today, if I even have patience to finish this one, I think there is annoying tanker trailer refill coming next etc.
2022-04-24T17:33:44Z Refill time, last 5k liters from the semi-truck tanker trailer. Although most likely this is enough for this field.
2022-04-24T17:39:38Z Finished contract on F205.
Budget now 747.5k
And now its time to call it a night, well not for me but for this savegame session, I'm going to chill rest of the evening instead of burning myself out with this herbicide spraying grind which changes nothing in grand scheme of things, I mean how much money do you really need?
