Gallery Description FS25 Crop Destruction Outside Fields Crop destruction no longer stops at field borders. Vehicles can also damage supported grass and meadow foliage on field edges, meadows, yards and other non-field areas. The mod automatically adds the required meadow wheel-destruction behavior on maps where it is missing. Ideal in combination with mods that enable crop destruction on all fields, such as FS25_cropDestructionAnywhere. Credits [Weekend Farmers]

Gallery Description FS25 Animal Food Calculator v1.1.0.2 The Animal Food Calculator (AFC) enhances animal husbandry in FS25 by providing significantly greater clarity and control. In the animal menu, the mod not only displays estimated daily and annual consumption but can also depending on the settings adjust the actual in-game values to the selected reference and scaling. It supports food, water, and straw, as well as output values such as milk, manure, slurry, and pallet output. In the EnhancedAnimalSystem, AFC takes lactation factors into account for supported animals so that the display and calculations better align with the enhanced animal systems. AFC can read its values from various sources: – from the base game, – from the map, if a custom animals.xml is built in, – from the FS25_AnimalPackage_vanillaEdition by BavarianRedneck – from a custom animals.xml within the mod. Easily switch modes ingame in the game settings under Animal Food Calculator The modes explained: 1. Reference Source The reference source determines which animal data AFC uses as a basis. So the question is: Which values should apply? – Basegame: AFC uses the animal values from the base game. Good for players who want to stay as close as possible to the standard LS. – Map: AFC uses the animal values from the currently selected map, provided the map includes its own animals.xml file. Good for mod maps with their own animal balancing. – AnimalPackage: AFC uses the values from the installed FS25_AnimalPackage_vanillaEdition. If the mod is active, it takes precedence and may override other sources. – Custom: AFC uses the mod’s own animals.xml as a reference. This is the right choice for custom balancing or adjusted values. 2. Scaling Mode The scaling mode determines how much the input and output are additionally adjusted. So the question is: Should the values simply be adopted, or should they be scaled as well? – Basegame: Scaling is off. AFC displays values and operates without additional scaling. The multiplier is effectively set to 1.0, and the number of days is not factored in separately. – Auto: AFC scales automatically based on the set number of days per month, but without an additional multiplier. This is useful if you want the values to grow automatically with your time system. – Manual: AFC scales only using your set multiplier. The number of days per month is not automatically factored in here. Good if you want full manual control. – Hybrid: AFC combines both, scaling based on days per month plus an additional custom multiplier. This is the most flexible mode for balancing and gameplay. 3. Multiplier The multiplier is an additional factor for AFC scaling. The menu offers fixed levels ranging from 0.25x to 10.00x. It is only active in Manual and Hybrid modes. **CHANGELOG 1.1.0.0** – All animalbarn inputs and outputs are now displayed – New modes for selecting the data source – Consumption values can now be read and set from different sources depending on the mode – Improved support for additional animal subtypes from mods **Changelog 1.1.0.1** – Fixed reference handling for missing inputs and outputs. – Missing reference entries now correctly display as zero. – Missing reference entries no longer consume or generate resources. – Fixed Basegame reference handling for duplicate age keys, especially eggs. – Fixed AnimalPackage reference loading from split per-animal XML files. – Fixed reference source selection when AnimalPackage is active. – Fixed pallet output scaling for eggs, wool and goat milk. – Fixed milk output/display scaling inconsistencies. – Improved separation between runtime values and selected reference values. – Disabled reference fallback debug logging by default. **Changelog 1.1.0.2** – Map animals.xml is now correctly detected from the map.xml.

Gallery Description FS25 Forage Harvest Extension This mod adds growth-stage-dependent yields to the field chopper harvesting system. Players who harvest later may be rewarded with higher yields, but they also take on a greater risk of damage from severe weather or wild boars. Appropriate default values are already set for the base game and maps based on the multi-fruit templates. Custom adjustments can be made directly via the forageYieldScales.xml file in the mod. Example: Default values in the mod for Maize: – harvestReadyGreen – Growth stage 5 – 100% – harvestReadyGreen2 – Growth stage 6 – 125% – harvestReady3 – Growth stage 7 – 80% The mod includes a PDF guide that explains how to integrate it into mod maps and how to adjust the YieldScales directly within the mod. Maps that use their own forageYieldScale entries remain playable without the mod and therefore do not lose their existing crossplay capability. Credits [Weekend Farmers]

Gallery Description FS25 Realistic Soil & Fertilizer v2.1.6.0 Realistic Soil & Fertilizer Mod for Farming Simulator 25 Adds meaningful depth to farming without overwhelming complexity. Every field has its own soil health — nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter, and pH — that changes based on what you grow, what you apply, and what the weather does. Ignore your soil and yields will suffer. Manage it well and your farm runs more efficiently. SOIL NUTRIENTS Each field independently tracks five values: – Nitrogen (N) — depletes heavily from most crops, especially corn and canola – Phosphorus (P) — depletes more slowly, matters most for root crops – Potassium (K) — lost in large quantities with high-yield harvests; especially heavy for potatoes and sugarbeets – Organic Matter (OM) — improves long-term fertility; manure and compost build it up; chopped straw also contributes – pH — affects how well nutrients are absorbed; lime and gypsum adjust it Crops extract different amounts of each nutrient. Fallow fields slowly recover on their own. Legumes (soybeans, peas, beans) provide a spring nitrogen bonus. Growing the same crop consecutively increases nutrient extraction. FERTILIZER TYPES The mod supports all major fertilizer types used in the base game and common mods: Synthetic: – Liquid Fertilizer — balanced N/P/K, quick uptake – Solid Fertilizer — higher phosphorus, standard cost – Digestate — biogas byproduct, strong nitrogen and potassium – UAN28 / UAN32 — liquid nitrogen solutions – Anhydrous Ammonia — highest-concentration nitrogen source – AMS / Urea — dry and liquid nitrogen options – Starter Fertilizer — high-phosphorus pop-up fertilizer – MAP / DAP — phosphorus-heavy dry and liquid options – Potash — pure potassium source Organic: – Manure — slow-release, builds organic matter – Slurry — liquid organic, high in potassium – Compost — excellent organic matter boost – Biosolids — good all-around organic option – Chicken Manure — concentrated nutrients, builds organic matter – Pelletized Manure — processed for easier application pH Management: – Lime — raises pH significantly – Liquid Lime — slightly gentler than dry lime – Gypsum — lowers pH slightly, improves organic matter Crop Protection: – Insecticide — reduces pest pressure – Fungicide — reduces disease pressure Each type has realistic nutrient profiles with appropriate application rates in metric or imperial units. SPRAYER RATE CONTROL Control exactly how much fertilizer you apply per pass: – Rate Up / Rate Down keybindings let you adjust on the fly while in the cab – 20 stepped rate multipliers from 0.10x to 2.00x in 0.10 increments – Over-application risk: exceeding 1.25x risks pH and nitrogen burn; at 1.50x burn is guaranteed – Auto-Rate mode automatically sets the application rate based on how depleted the field is — heavy deficits get more, healthy soil gets less – Rate persists per vehicle so you don’t lose your setting when you get out YIELD PENALTY Low nutrient levels reduce yield. Fields need N, P, and K at or above the optimal threshold for full output. The further below that threshold, the larger the penalty — up to a hard cap depending on how demanding the crop is. PEST, WEED & DISEASE PRESSURE Fields track weed, pest, and disease pressure independently. Cultivation reduces weed and pest pressure. Plowing reduces pest and disease pressure more aggressively. Insecticide and fungicide applications reduce the respective pressures directly. HUD A real-time soil panel shows the current field’s nutrient levels at a glance: – 6 position presets (top right, top left, bottom right, bottom left, center right, or custom) – Custom position is draggable — put it exactly where you want it – 4 color themes: Green, Blue, Amber, Mono – 3 font sizes – 5 transparency levels – Compact mode for smaller displays – Toggle the HUD on/off with a keybinding – All HUD settings are per-player and don’t affect other pla

Gallery Description FS25 Field Calculator The Field Calculator adds a handy overview of your fields to the game and helps you plan your seed, lime, fertilizer, and crop protection. For each of your fields, it clearly displays the estimated requirements in the menu, so you can better prepare for purchases and work assignments. It supports seeds, mineral fertilizers, liquid fertilizers, manure, slurry, fermentation residues, lime, and herbicides. The Field Calculator not only recognizes the game’s fertilizers, but also modmap-specific fertilizers, provided they are correctly implemented by the map. The mod works with or without Precision Farming. If Precision Farming is active, existing soil and sampling data are included in the calculation. This gives you a much more accurate estimate for your fields. For organic fertilizers, there is also a toggle switch that lets you switch the display between soil target and plant target. This allows you to better tailor the calculation to your playstyle and your desired fertilization approach. The herbicide display serves as a rough purchasing guide under Precision Farming and not as an exact needs calculation. This provides you with quick, clear, and practical assistance for your field planning on standard maps and mod maps. Credits [Weekend Farmers]
