The RP Tablet brings a business tablet into your multiplayer session. With the press of a button, you open a menu styled like the game’s own interfaces, where your farm manages its business: issuing and paying invoices, listing machinery and goods, negotiating, holding auctions, assigning contracts, sending messages, and monitoring finances. Everything runs via the server—money, permissions, and contracts cannot be manipulated on the client side.
Screenshots
Home – Account balance, outstanding invoices, messages, offers, and contracts at a glance; app bar at the top. Invoices – Line items, tax, payment deadline, status; options to pay, reject, or report. “Back,” “Home,” and “Close” buttons always at the bottom.
Marketplace – Offers and auctions featuring search, categories, filters, favorites, and negotiation options. Finances – Account balance, income and expenses by category, recent transactions, receipts, and pending reviews.
The images are rendered from the mod’s test setup (using sample data, without the in-game background) and illustrate the layout and feature set. Fonts and details may vary slightly in-game.

The tablet is linked to the farm: You only see your own farm’s data and the apps your role is authorized to access.
Multiplayer and security
Server-authoritative: Money, marketplace, invoices, contracts, permissions, messages, and transactions reside exclusively on the server. The client only sends requests.
Identity never originates from the client—player, farm, and role are determined server-side.
Validation of every action (permissions, price, status, funds), protection against duplicate execution and spam, audit log.
Works on dedicated servers, as a host, and in single-player mode.
Data is saved along with the game save (rpTablet.xml in the savegame folder, with backup).
Installation
Place RP_Tablet.zip (unzipped) into the mods folder (Windows: DocumentsMy GamesFarmingSimulator2025mods). Load your savegame or start the server, then activate the mod.
Press Alt + T in-game.
On a dedicated server, the mod must be active on both the server and all players’ clients.
Notes
The tablet manages money, permissions, and documentation. Vehicles and goods are not transferred automatically; the handover is part of the roleplay.
Transactions use the in-game currency (base: €).
The tablet is a 2D overlay (not a 3D handheld device).
The mod has been tested in a simulated game environment (89 automated tests). Details regarding engine integrations are listed in the README under “API Assumptions.” Please report errors by providing the relevant excerpt from the log.txt file.
