Many items in FSNextGeneration require permits. Failure to have these permits can lead to large fines, so be sure you are covering your bases!
Structure Permits
Structure permits are required for any placeable building you wish to put down on a map. This permit is your request to build something in a certain location. If approved, staff will come and place the building. Staff have the right to deny building if the structure fails to meet building placement standards. The following are rough criteria. If in doubt, or unsure, please ask. Permits are 2.5% or 5% of the building cost (Regular or Ironman), and you are charged immediately, even if the permit is not approved, so please review carefully!
Buildings should not be within 5 meters of a roadway. This includes public roads, access roads, trails or any other transitory painted or placed object that was placed there by the mapmaker.
Buildings should not be within 5 meters of a arable field.
Buildings should not be within ~5 meters of treelines to prevent clipping.
Buildings cannot clip other placed buildings.
Buildings must be atleast 5 meters from the property edge if the property is adjacent to player ownable property.
Any item not mentioned in these bullet points is subject to arbitration of staff, who will do our best to accommodate your request if it works within the criteria outlined.
