FS25 Meadow Trails V1.0.1.0
Regular vehicle traffic gradually creates visible wheel paths in wild grass, planted grass fields, and decorative ground foliage. Grass Wear Passes apply to wild grass and decorative foliage outside fields, while asphalt, concrete, and other hard surfaces are excluded.
Features
- Repeated driving may form dirt tracks through wild grass and decorative foliage.
- With Base Game mode selected, FS25 controls field destruction.
- Meadow Trails mode applies Crop Destruction Passes to field crops, including planted grass, on both owned and unowned land.
- Both pass settings use values from 1 – 5 and default to 4.
- Grass fields keep their existing field ground type.
- All settings are found under ESC > Game Settings:
- Grass Wear Passes
- Crop Destruction: Base Game / Meadow Trails
- Crop Destruction Passes
- Trail Recovery Time
- Tire Tread Marks: On / Off
- By default, trails recover after 3 in-game months without traffic. Available choices are Off, 1 Day, 1 Month, 2 Months, or 3 Months.
- Saved patches restore only vegetation that was originally removed. Recovery is cancelled if the field ground changes or another crop is used.
- Crop damage caused by Meadow Trails recovers across 3 months.
- Tire Tread Marks reinforces the native tread marks on worn grass paths and grass fields by using the existing texture of each wheel. Tire tracks must be enabled in the graphics settings, and the game determines how long they remain.
- The history of wear and recovery is saved.
Ctrl+Shift+Mopens the Protected Areas editor and this key can be rebound.- From above, the Protected Areas editor lets you draw and name boundaries, move or remove points, rename or delete areas, undo actions, and choose Save & Close.
- Each game can save up to 64 areas, with 128 points per area.
- Protected boundaries prevent Meadow Trails wear, dirt painting, crop damage, enhanced tread marks, and recovery writes from the mod.
- Damage that already exists is not removed.
- FS25 settings continue to control crop destruction in Base Game mode, while normal game tire tracks and farming tools remain active.
