FS25 Mud on the road V3.0.1.0

FS25 Mud on the road V3.0.1.0

Mud appears from tyres only when those tyres are genuinely muddy, meaning the mud shown by the game after field work. Tyres that are clean or washed do not leave anything behind.

When muddy tyres travel across roads, yards or tracks, they make smeared tyre marks and scatter clods. The mud comes off while the vehicle moves, leaving the tyres clean as the trail disappears over several hundred metres.

Features

• When the wheels turn through corners, the smears follow their curve.
• Old mud becomes fresher and thicker when driven over, while further mud is placed on top in new layers.
• Every wheeled vehicle and trailer is supported, including AI helpers.
• Rain removes road mud. Heavy rain clears it in about 5 in-game hours, while light rain takes around half a day.
• Without rain, mud dries to a pale colour and disappears after about three in-game days.
• Any switched-on sweeper brush removes the mud it travels across.
• It can also be scraped with a bucket. Lower a loader, telehandler or wheel loader bucket until its lip rests on the road, then push forwards. The mud fills the bucket as manure in the base game, or as mud/dirt/soil when another mod provides that fill type.
• The mud is stored together with your savegame.
• In multiplayer, the mud is visual only and calculated separately on each PC, so it creates no network traffic.
• Multiplayer is now supported.

Universal Bucket with Brush

• This is a telehandler bucket fitted with a Cherry-style road brush.
• The equipment uses a galvanised hood, black arms, yellow poly bristles and a hydraulic motor.
• Shop: Telehandler tools.
• Price: £5,000.
• Switch it on like any other implement. It gathers road mud into the bucket while travelling forwards or backwards.
• Once the bucket is full, it drops the mud back onto the road.
• With the brush operating on the road, mud sprays from the bristles into the bucket and a real brushing sound is heard.
• Tip the bucket to let the brush swing clear under its own weight, after which 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 UK road-sign-style A-frame warning sign marked “Mud on road”.
• Shop: Decorations.
• Price: 25.

Settings

• The file modSettings/FS25_MudOnRoad.xml is made when the mod starts for the first time.
• It controls how long mud remains, how far it travels, the number of thrown clods, the map’s maximum mud amount and more.

For console commands, press ~:

• mudOnRoadLoadTyres – puts mud on your tyres for testing, in single player or as host.
• mudOnRoadClear – removes mud from every road.
• mudOnRoadInfo – displays the amount of mud currently lying around.
• mudOnRoadToggle – enables or disables mud dropping.
• mudOnRoadBucketInfo – explains why a bucket is, or is not, scraping mud.

Changelog

V3.0.1.0
New: Mud On Road options in the game menu Settings → Game → Mud On Road now has these options:

• Tyre print trails are enabled by default. Turn this setting off to leave only mud clods on the road, with no tyre print trails or lane-crossing mud streaks.
• Muddy tyres still create clods as before. Those clods still fade, wash away, appear on the map and count towards fines.
• Mud that was already placed on the road remains there until it fades or is cleaned. The setting affects new mud only.
• Fines for mud on public roads are enabled by default. If your farm leaves mud on a public road for hours, a warning appears first, followed by fines until the road is clean.
• A nearby Mud On Road sign prevents those fines. Disable the setting to remove fines completely.
• Vehicles spread mud is disabled by default. When clean vehicles drive through road mud, they pick some up and spread it farther along the road, while traffic squashes clods and carries them away.
• Your selections are saved, and in multiplayer they can be changed only by the host.
• Every option is available in English, German and French.

V3.0.0.0
New: Mud on the map. Road mud is now visible on the PDA map and mini map as red dashed lines following the mud along the road. The display covers proper roads made from tarmac or concrete only, not field-edge tracks or grass. Hovering over a dash shows the mud amount and whether it could result in a fine. The lines refresh 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. It is located at Settings → Game → Mud On Road and starts disabled. Enable it so clean vehicles driving through road mud collect some and spread it farther along, while traffic squashes the clods and carries them away. Your selection is saved, and only the host can alter it in multiplayer.

Settings file: added settings mapMarkers, mapSpacing, which sets the metres between dashes with a default of 8, and mapRoadsOnly.

Other: every new text is available in English, German and French.

V2.9.0.0
NEW: Bucket Brush.

• Universal Bucket with Brush is a telehandler bucket carrying a Cherry-style road brush. Its parts are a galvanised hood, black arms, yellow poly bristles and a hydraulic motor. Shop: Telehandler tools, £5,000.
• Operate it like any implement. While moving forwards or backwards, it sweeps road mud into the bucket.
• After the bucket fills, the mud is left on the road.
• The brush sprays mud from its bristles into the bucket and produces a real brushing sound while it is on the road.
• Tilting the bucket lets the brush swing clear under its own weight, then it drops back into place.
• Fittings available in the shop are universal hooks, JCB Q-Fit, Manitou, Merlo, Euro (Claas, Kramer, Weidemann) or tractor front loader.
• The telehandler connects to hydraulic hoses.

Changed: removed. Clean vehicles no longer pick up and spread mud, and traffic no longer squashes clods.
