Realistic Soil & Fertilizer V1.0.7.3 fs25-mods

Description:

Realistic Soil & Fertilizer Mod for Farming Simulator 25 Adds depth and realism to soil management and fertilization in FS25. This mod introduces dynamic soil fertility, nutrient cycles, and realistic fertilizer economics, making farming more challenging and strategic. **Key Features:** **DYNAMIC SOIL FERTILITY:** Tracks nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels for each field. Soil nutrients deplete as crops grow and recover when fields are fallow. **REALISTIC NUTRIENT CYCLES:** Different crops extract different nutrients. Organic matter content affects long-term fertility. pH levels impact nutrient availability. **FERTILIZER ECONOMICS:** Three fertilizer types with varying costs and effectiveness: - Liquid Fertilizer: Balanced nutrients, moderate cost - Solid Fertilizer: Higher phosphorus, standard cost - Manure: Improves organic matter, lower cost **CUSTOMIZABLE DIFFICULTY:** - Simple: Reduced nutrient depletion, lower costs - Realistic: Balanced gameplay, standard settings - Hardcore: Rapid nutrient depletion, higher costs **USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE:** - Integrated into game settings menu - Console commands for advanced control - Real-time notifications for low nutrients - Field-specific soil information **FULLY COMPATIBLE:** - Multiplayer supported - Works with all maps - No conflicts with other mods - Save game compatible **Gameplay Impact:** - Makes fertilizer management more important - Encourages crop rotation strategies - Adds economic planning element - Increases realism without excessive complexity **Console Commands Available:** - soilfertility (show all commands) - SoilEnable/Disable - SoilSetDifficulty 1/2/3 - SoilFieldInfo - SoilShowSettings - SoilResetSettings **Installation:** Extract to your mods folder. Configure in-game settings under “Soil & Fertilizer” section. This mod is perfect for players who want more depth from their farming experience without overwhelming complexity. It strikes a balance between realism and playability, making soil management a meaningful part of your farm strategy. **Note:** This mod does not affect crop growth rates directly – it adds management layers around soil health and fertilizer economics. **V1.0.7.3** [Multiplayer Hotfix] **Bug 1 – Settings permanently locked on dedicated server:** The settings UI captured admin status only once (at first open), guarded by `soilFertilizer_initDone`. If the user database hadn’t populated yet on join, all controls stayed disabled for the session. Now `updateAdminState()` is called on every frame open so admin status is always current. **Bug 2 – HUD setting changes affected all players:** `hudPosition`, `hudColorTheme`, `hudFontSize`, `hudTransparency`, `hudCompactMode`, and `showHUD` were routed through the server and broadcast to every client. Moving your HUD moved everyone else’s HUD too. These settings are now marked `localOnly = true` in the schema — they bypass the network at all three layers (client send, server apply/broadcast, sync receive). Each player controls their own HUD independently, no admin required.
