I feel so slow navigating through the menu to take one, and I can’t access it during cut scenes (F4 was mentioned on the wiki but for me it brings up some Windows nonsense) so is there anyway to trigger a game screenshot via hot key? Thanks in advance for replies!

no no no lol. F12 through Steam will only take a screenshot of what's on the screen at the moment you press it. It won't generate a picture of the whole farm. If you just want what's on screen, then sure, F12 is fine. But if you want the whole farm in your shot, you have to go through the menu for it, there is no hot key. As for F4, it's meant as a tool for screenshots with F12 by getting rid of the GUI overlay(the toolbar, and the date/time/money panel up in the top right corner).

Perhaps u/ConcernedApe could add a hotkey for taking a shot of the whole farm when/if there is another update?

Hi, there is a quicker way to do it. Press the '/' key and then type "mapscreenshot" and press enter. You can also add optional parameters to the command to set the name and the zoom level (e.g. "/mapscreenshot myfarm_1 50" would create a screenshot of the current map called "myfarm_1.png" at a 50% zoom level (Default zoom level is 25%)
