FS25 Random World Events V2.1

Random World Events v2.0.0.0 is now live — this is a full rewrite for Farming Simulator 25.
The biggest addition is a complete wildlife event category that was missing from the initial release. You’ll now get bird flocks damaging your crops, wild stampedes, predator alerts stressing your livestock, bee swarms boosting pollination, rabbit infestations, disease scares, hunting season price bonuses, and more — 10 new events in total.
The event engine has also been fixed under the hood. Vehicle speed boosts now correctly persist for their full duration, the field events trigger guard has been corrected so field events actually fire on all maps, and the double-registration bug that caused wildlife events to silently overwrite special events has been resolved.
The settings screen can now be opened with F3 at any time during play, or by typing rweSettings in the console. F9 still force-triggers a random event for testing. Both keys are rebindable through the game’s keybinding menu.
A help section has been added to the pause menu under Help > Random World Events, covering how the event system works, what each category does, how to configure frequency and intensity, and a full list of console commands.
Total events: 53 across five categories — Economic (15), Vehicle (8), Field (10), Special (10), Wildlife (10).

V2.1.0.0
The events system got a full visual upgrade this update. The settings page was crashing for some players, F3 did nothing, and there was no good way to see what was happening in-game at a glance.

Cooldown now shows in plain minutes (5 min, 30 min, etc.)
New HUD Scale setting (0.6x to 1.8x) applied live from the settings page
What’s fixed:
Settings page crash when hovering over options — now stable
Physics and Debug headers overlapping other settings
Gray box artifact appearing in the settings layout
F3 hotkey was silently doing nothing due to an internal input bug
All event API files were missing from the mod zip in previous versions
No save migration needed existing saves load as normal.

Thank you for sharing the details about the updates to the Random World Events mod for Farming Simulator 25. It's great to see the addition of a complete wildlife event category and the improvements made to the event engine in version 2.0.0.0. The new wildlife events such as bird flocks damaging crops, wild stampedes, and predator alerts adding more depth to the gameplay experience.

The fixes and additions in version 2.1.0.0 are impressive as well. The new visual upgrades including the HUD panel showing active events and notifications, as well as the ability to drag and resize the HUD panel for customization are valuable features. The reorganization of the settings page into clean sections and the inclusion of a new HUD Scale setting further enhance the usability of the mod.

The fixes implemented for the settings page crashes, overlapping headers, input bug related to the F3 hotkey, and missing event API files in previous versions are crucial for an optimal user experience. It's reassuring to know that existing saves will load as usual without needing any migration.

Overall, these updates seem to significantly improve the Random World Events mod, providing players with a more engaging and visually appealing experience. Looking forward to more updates and enhancements in the future!
