Private Alpha

FMA Farm Equipment Auction

A dedicated used-equipment auction system for Farming Simulator 25, built around AI competition, equipment condition, reserve prices and the decisions that make a purchase feel earned. Have you ever wondered of a better and more realistic way of buying used farm equipment? Wonder no more, farm equipment auctions are now available in Farming Simulator 25!

Current Flagship

A real market for used equipment.

Instead of treating used machinery like a static menu purchase, FMA Farm Equipment Auction — an FS25 Auction Mod — turns buying equipment into an event. Lots arrive with age, hours and wear, AI bidders compete, reserve prices matter, and winning the machine is only part of the decision.

Core Experience

More than clicking “buy.”

The system is designed to create uncertainty, competition and meaningful equipment decisions without turning the game into a spreadsheet.

1

Browse the lots

Review the equipment available for the current auction.

2

Judge the machine

Balance price against age, hours, wear and your farm’s needs.

3

Compete for it

Bid against AI buyers while deciding when to stop.

4

Own the result

Win, walk away, or deal with a reserve-price seller offer.

Gameplay Features

Built around believable auction decisions.

AI

Competitive bidding

AI bidders create pressure so equipment does not simply wait for the player at a fixed price.

%

Condition matters

Age, hours and wear help make every lot a different value proposition.

$

Reserve logic

Auction outcomes can fail to meet reserve, opening the door to a separate seller decision.

The auction system is taking shape. FMA Farm Equipment Auction has reached another major development milestone.
v0.1.5 locks in the core auction lifecycle, including scheduled monthly auctions, registration, physical equipment previews, realistic used equipment condition, AI competition, reserve pricing, fees, and full lot-by-lot bidding. Recent testing also confirmed that active auctions can continue across an in-game month change and correctly transition into the next scheduled auction cycle.
There’s still more to build before release, but the foundation is now behaving the way we envisioned it. Beta is getting close.
