FS25 Mud on the road V3.0.0.0

FS25 Mud on the road V3.0.0.0

Mud On Road adds visible mud trails, tyre-print smears, thrown clods and several ways to clean roads for wheeled vehicles, trailers and AI helpers.

Features

• Mud is dropped by tyres only when the game is actually showing mud on them after field work. Clean or washed tyres do not leave a trail.
• On roads, yards and tracks, muddy tyres create tyre-print smears and cast clods aside. The faster the vehicle travels, the farther the clods are thrown over the road.
• As a vehicle continues moving, its tyres lose their mud. The tyres become clean again while the trail fades during the next few hundred metres.
• When the wheels turn through corners, the smears curve along with them.
• Existing mud becomes heavier and fresher when it is driven over. Further layers are added on top of the old ones.
• Every vehicle and trailer fitted with wheels is supported, including AI helpers.
• Rain removes mud from the road. Heavy rain clears it in about 5 in-game hours, while light rain needs around half a day.
• During dry weather, the mud dries, becomes pale and disappears after about three in-game days.
• Any sweeper brush that is switched on cleans away the mud over which it passes.
• A bucket can scrape the mud up. Lower a loader, telehandler or wheel loader bucket until its lip touches the road, then push forwards. In the base game the collected material enters the bucket as manure. If another mod supplies the fill type, it can instead be mud, dirt or soil.
• The mud is stored together with your savegame.
• In multiplayer the mud remains visual and is calculated separately on each PC, so it creates no network traffic.
• Multiplayer is supported.
• On the first start, modSettings/FS25_MudOnRoad.xml is created. This file lets you change the mud duration, the distance it travels, the number of thrown clods, the maximum amount on the map and more.

Universal Bucket with Brush

• This is a telehandler bucket fitted with a Cherry-style road brush.
• Its equipment consists of a galvanised hood, black arms, yellow poly bristles and a hydraulic motor.
• Shop: Telehandler tools.
• Price: £5,000.
• Switch it on in the same way as any implement. It gathers road mud into the bucket while driving forwards or backwards.
• Once the bucket is full, it drops the mud back onto the road.
• While the brush is on the road, mud sprays from the bristles into the bucket and a real brushing sound plays.
• Tilting the bucket lets the brush swing clear under its own weight before it falls back into position.
• The shop offers these fittings: universal hooks, JCB Q-Fit, Manitou, Merlo, Euro (Claas, Kramer, Weidemann) or tractor front loader.
• Hydraulic hoses attach to the telehandler.

Mud On Road Sign

• A small A-frame warning sign reading “Mud on road”, made in the UK road-sign style.
• Shop: Decorations.
• Price: 25.
• Mud located within 200 m of a Mud On Road sign is never included in a fine.

Changelog

• V3.0.0.0
  New: Mud on the map. Mud on roads appears on the PDA map and mini map as red dashed lines following the road mud. The display is limited to proper roads, tarmac and concrete, so field-edge tracks and grass are excluded. Hover over a dash to check the amount of mud and whether it could lead to a fine. The lines change when mud is swept, scraped or washed away. They use the map filter “Other”. The new console command mudOnRoadMap switches them on or off.
  New: “Vehicles spread mud” option. You can find it at Settings → Game → Mud On Road. The option starts off. Once enabled, clean vehicles travelling through road mud collect some of it and spread it farther along, while traffic squashes clods and carries them away. Your selection is saved. In multiplayer, changing it is limited to the host.
  Settings file: new settings mapMarkers, mapSpacing, metres between dashes, default 8, and mapRoadsOnly.
  Other: all the new texts are available in English, German and French.
• V2.9.0.0
  New: Bucket Brush.Changed: clean vehicles no longer pick up and spread mud, and traffic no longer squashes clods.
  • Universal Bucket with Brush: a telehandler bucket carrying a Cherry-style road brush. It includes a galvanised hood, black arms, yellow poly bristles and a hydraulic motor. Shop: Telehandler tools, £5,000.
  • Operate it like any implement. While travelling forwards or backwards, it sweeps road mud into the bucket.
  • After the bucket is full, the mud is left on the road.
  • Mud sprays from the bristles into the bucket, and the brush makes a real brushing sound while it is on the road.
  • Tip the bucket so the brush swings clear under its own weight, then it returns to its place.
  • In the shop, select universal hooks, JCB Q-Fit, Manitou, Merlo, Euro (Claas, Kramer, Weidemann) or tractor front loader as the fitting.
  • Hydraulic hoses connect with the telehandler.
• V2.8.0.0
  • New: clean vehicles travelling through mud collect some and spread it farther down the road. Traffic also squashes clods and carries them away.
  • New: more mud on the ground produces muddier roads. Ploughed and cultivated ground, root crops, sugar beet, potatoes, carrots, parsnips and onions, as well as wet weather, leave more mud. Stubble, direct drilling and dry days leave less.
  • New: when the ground becomes wet, dried mud looks wet again before drying to pale once more.
  • New: fines apply when heavy mud is left on public roads. A warning comes first. If the mud remains, the farm is fined at each check, up to 2,000.
  • Mud within 200 m of a Mud On Road sign is excluded, as is mud on your own land. Fines can be disabled with mudOnRoadFines or in the settings file.
  • New: soil colours brown, standard, dark, peat or fen, chalk, pale chalky soil, and red, red clay. Choose one for each savegame with mudOnRoadSoil followed by the colour, for example mudOnRoadSoil red. Mud already lying on the road changes colour as well.
  • New console commands: mudOnRoadSoil and mudOnRoadFines. mudOnRoadInfo now additionally reports how much of your mud counts towards a fine.
  • Removed: the experimental sticking mud.
  • Fixed: in multiplayer, mud sent while a player is joining can no longer prevent the game from loading.
  • Settings file updated. On first start, old settings files are replaced by the new defaults.
