Additional Notes Regarding Fines

When writing a fine for animals. Fine is per animal. 50 horses * 50 = 2500 fine. This only applies to the cleanliness or food fines.
Improper hauling equipment: Think of safety, if they are hauling logs without rails on the side.
Too many trailers for hauling: 2 Trailers in tandem MAX, even if the capacity is below the 80,000l limit. Super B’s are considered 2 trailers. A standalone dolly is one trailer, so a dolly + a semitrailer is two trailers.
Oversize transport: No more than 80,000l combined capacity on any load-carrying vehicle combination. This includes the truck/tractor and any / all trailers connected to it, for any material capacity. Only loading the vehicle to 80,000l or using the fill level limiter to limit the capacity does not make a combination legal.
The sugarcane trailers can only be used in a double combination when empty or transporting sugarcane. When used for chaff or woodchips, the 80,000l limit applies.
Cut trees: No more than 5 trees on the ground while loading onto a trailer. Cut 5, load them all, grind the stumps, then cut another 5.
Crop Abandonment: Pile of crops just sitting in a field rather than in a barn or other storage device.
Malicious damage of crops: You find someone driving through a field that is not theirs.
Silage Bales: They can be left out in the fields to simulate drying. Once they reach 100%, within a timely manner, they should be moved.
Bale limit: 40 foot trailer = 40 bales.
Specialized equipment: Herbicide Sprayer, etc. Refer to the permit section of the site.
Reckless endangerment: Flipping vehicles, etc.
Overloading: A large tractor on a trailer where the wheels are barely on.
Public property would be the NPC stores, silos, or any of the land that is not owned by a player.
Reckless endangerment includes vehicles that are flipped or stuck.
Equipment abandonment would be anything left at the store or on public property for more than 24 hours. Utilized the BOL section to keep track of this suspicious activity.
Malicious damage to property would be driving across fields not owned by players.
A player may not own more than 5 production buildings, and 6 greenhouses currently. Greenhouses do require permit.
