FS25 User Scripts by Smudlik V1.0.0.0
This collection brings together quality-of-life scripts for farming, animal management, AI helpers and information displays. It makes routine farm management clearer and more practical while preserving the underlying game systems wherever possible.
Animal husbandry and horse management
- The animal menu sorts husbandries alphabetically, making them easier to navigate.
- Automatic animal care provides daily horse care at 06:00, setting riding and fitness to 100% and dirt to 0%. Alpaca happiness is also maintained at 06:00.
- Horse sale prices are adjusted according to age, with native sale values reaching up to ×3 from 24 months.
- For overflow management, native monthly reproduction is handled first. If required, the minimum number of the oldest existing animals is sold, using a 20% transport fee on the native sale value.
- The feed calculator shows monthly feed, water and straw consumption, estimated stock duration and potential output rates when the required data is available. Meadow grass is displayed separately. These estimates do not alter actual consumption or production.
- Animals can be lost through age, inadequate care, accidents or birth complications. Farm-specific warnings and death notifications show which husbandry is affected.
AI helpers and vehicles
- Up to 15 AI helpers may be active. They receive 90 English names, and names are not reused simultaneously.
- Active AI vehicles and relevant attached equipment receive AI tracks, tire tracks and terrain deformation, refreshed every 150 ms.
- Licence plates are assigned automatically, use map-compatible plates and include duplicate checks.
- Press Left Alt + E to enter the nearest suitable vehicle.
- Where supported, vehicle visuals include darker compatible exhaust effects, high beams reaching 60 m and work lights reaching 45 m.
- Leasing returns the deposit when a vehicle is returned, while repair and cleaning charges are deducted. Cleaning costs cannot exceed 30% of the deposit.
Field, equipment and environment
- On non-owned fields, wheel contact causes additional crop damage, while detected care wheels are respected.
- Ground painting provides additional eligible textures supplied by the map.
- Rolling requirements are reduced for maize, sunflower, sugar beet, cotton, sorghum, poplar, grass, oilseed radish and meadow.
- Compatible mulchers can clear decorative bushes and vegetation from eligible land.
- The maximum planted-tree count check is removed, although the other planting restrictions remain in place.
- Third-person player depth of field is disabled. A first-person camera is added for rideable animals, and configured wind visual settings (3, 3, 30) are applied where supported.
Production, shop and notifications
- Within supported store categories, shop items are sorted by ascending base price.
- For eligible construction-shop entries, the silo information shows which materials are accepted.
- Great demand alerts display the commodity, buying location, price per 1,000 litres and the remaining duration.
Expanded HUD and context information
- The top bar displays the game year, current weather, temperature range and the next forecast weather change, including time (HH:MM), temperature and condition.
- Field information includes farmland and field area, land price per hectare where applicable, crop stage and condition, plus basic potential-harvest estimates when available.
- Plantation information includes special growth-state handling for coffee and bananas.
- Animal and machine details cover population, capacity, health, age, horse care indicators, vehicle weight, operating hours, dirt and relevant machine categories.
- For storage and loose materials, accessible material quantities and capacity are shown. The information also identifies ground heaps and supported timber type and volume.
Specifications
- In compatible husbandries, animal capacity is increased to horses ×2 and alpacas ×3.
- Supported feed storage is ×20, with manually supplied water and straw inputs for official cattle, pig and sheep husbandries. Chicken feed is ×20, other supported inputs are ×5 and internal output storage is ×10. Independent add-on storage and pallet spawn spaces are excluded.
- AI helper costs are around 180 per hour.
- Refueling rates are 120 L/min for diesel and 100 kg/min for methane.
- Compatible baler pickup areas gain 1 m on each side, for +2 m in total.
- On Windows, the limits are up to 6,000 pallets and 6,000 bales.
- Supported base-game and official-DLC facilities, including compatible plantation production buildings, receive ×5 input capacity and ×10 internal output capacity.
Compatibility and known limitations
- The mod is compatible with the base game and supported official DLC systems. Map-specific and modded assets may behave differently. Multiplayer is supported by the mod, but final release changes have not been verified in multiplayer.
- Available languages are English, Czech and German, with English used as the fallback.
- Known limitations include unresolved coffee plowing and banana liming indicators. Feed duration is a theoretical volume estimate, and meadow regrowth and full-productivity feeding duration are not guaranteed. Avoid other pickup-width mods. Back up saves before installation.
Development roadmap
- Enhanced vehicle color selection.
- Add GPS functionality.
- Extended minimap functionality.
- Way to production control.
- Unlock vehicles color configurations.
- Weed management improvements.
- Coffee plantation plowing requirement correction.
- Banana plantation liming requirement correction.
- Improved potential harvest calculations.
V1.0.0.0
- Animal management now includes monthly feed and resource estimates, remaining stock duration and separate meadow information. Animal mortality was introduced together with localized farm-specific risk and death alerts.
- Storage and limits now support cattle, pig and sheep inputs and chicken feed up to ×20. Windows limits were raised to 6,000 pallets and 6,000 bales.
- Vehicles and equipment received extended leasing returns, adjusted diesel and methane refueling rates, and compatible baler pickups widened by 1 m per side.
- Field and camera utilities now include decorative vegetation mulching, an unlimited planted-tree count, a first-person rideable camera and disabled third-person player depth of field.
- The weather HUD received improved next-change forecast selection across midnight, HH:MM display, icon sizing, spacing and text consistency.
- The field HUD corrected field area and harvest estimate display, as well as banana growth-stage numbering.
