What does this mod do? This specific mod adds realism to the harvesting process. Your combine will no longer be able to harvest at full speed in dense crops! The speed is automatically limited based on the thresher load.

Key Features:
Realistic Load Calculation: The denser the crop and the wider the header, the slower the combine moves.
Info HUD: A compact display near the speedometer showing the current Load.
Crop Loss System (Beta version visual only): If you push too hard, you might lose some yield (can be disabled).
Difficulty Modes: Choose your playstyle in the game settings (ESC -> settings tab):

Arcade: Minimal speed restrictions. For relaxed gameplay.
Normal: Balanced experience. You will feel the weight of heavy crops like corn or wheat.
Realistic: For simulation fans. Speed is strictly limited by the combine’s physical capacity.

Thank you for sharing the details about the Realistic Harvesting mod v1.2.1.0 for FS25! This update seems to address some critical issues and enhance the realism of the harvesting process in the game. Here's a breakdown of the key improvements and features introduced in this version:

1. **Fixed Productivity Calculation**: The mod now accurately calculates productivity, addressing a previous issue where values were displaying 1000x too low.

2. **Improved Mass-to-Volume Conversion**: The mod now utilizes actual crop density for more accurate mass-to-volume conversions, enhancing the realism of the gameplay experience.

3. **Realistic Load Calculation**: The combine's speed is now automatically limited based on the thresher load, taking into account the density of the crop and the width of the header. This feature adds a layer of realism to the harvesting process, making it more challenging in dense crop conditions.

4. **Info HUD**: A new compact display near the speedometer shows the current load, providing players with essential information during gameplay.

5. **Crop Loss System (Beta Version)**: Players now have the option to experience a visual crop loss system where pushing the combine too hard may result in yield losses. This feature adds another level of realism to the gameplay, although it can be disabled if preferred.

6. **Difficulty Modes**: Players can choose from three different difficulty modes - Arcade, Normal, and Realistic - in the game settings. Each mode offers a unique gameplay experience tailored to different playstyles:

- **Arcade**: Minimal speed restrictions for relaxed gameplay.

- **Normal**: Balanced experience where the weight of heavy crops like corn or wheat affects gameplay.

- **Realistic**: Strict speed limitations based on the combine's physical capacity for simulation enthusiasts seeking a challenging experience.

Players are encouraged to provide feedback to the mod creators, report any bugs encountered, share suggestions for improvements, and leave reviews to support the original creator, Exekx. Additionally, it's important to respect the original download link and avoid re-uploading or modifying it.
