FS25 Realistic Harvesting V1.4.1

What does this mod do?
This mod completely overhauls the harvesting mechanics in Farming Simulator 25! Your combine will no longer be able to unrealistically harvest at full speed in dense crops without consequences. The harvesting speed and efficiency are now dynamically tied to the thresher load and your machine’s calibration.

Key Features:
Realistic Load Calculation: The denser the crop and the wider the header, the slower the combine moves. Overload the engine, and you will begin to physically lose yield!
Interactive Combine Calibration (NEW): Press `RShift + K` to open the Combine Settings menu! You must calibrate your Fan, Rotor, Sieves, and Feeder for each specific crop type. Poor settings will result in additional crop loss!
Global Crop Profiles (NEW): Save your perfectly tuned calibration profiles globally. Switch combines or rejoin the server, and your favorite settings for Wheat, Corn, or Soybeans are instantly applied.
Dynamic Yield & Info HUD: A customizable, draggable display showing real-time Engine Load, Productivity (T/h), Crop Loss %, and Yield (t/ha or bu/ac).
Physical Crop Loss System: Pushing the combine past 95% engine load or using suboptimal threshing settings will physically reduce the volume of grain entering your bunker. Drive smart, not fast!
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, with forgiving loss penalties.
– Realistic: For simulation fans. Speed and crop loss are strictly tied to the combine’s physical capacity and your manual calibration settings.

V1.4.1.0
– FIXED: Game crash (“attempt to call missing method ‘getIsControlled'”) when using equipment from DLC packs (e.g. Highland DLC NH 8040 with Holaras tools). Added safe nil check for the method.
– FIXED: Courseplay second combine getting stuck at 10 km/h. Removed incorrect movingDirection check from getSpeedLimit() and added guard so Courseplay speed limit only applies when cutter is actually working.
– FIXED: AUTO mode settings resetting to 50 on dedicated servers. AUTO mode now registers as pending if crop not yet detected and applies automatically on first harvest.
– FIXED: Combine Settings menu (RShift+K) not opening and closing immediately when using NEXAT modular system.
– FIXED: Potential game crash with missing ‘getAIFieldWorkerIsTurning’ method on custom vehicles.

This mod for Farming Simulator 25 brings a realistic approach to harvesting mechanics. Here are the key features and changes that it introduces:

1. **Realistic Load Calculation**: The harvesting speed and efficiency are now linked to the thresher load and the width of the header. The denser the crop, the slower the combine moves, and overloading the engine can result in physical yield loss.

2. **Interactive Combine Calibration**: You can now calibrate your Fan, Rotor, Sieves, and Feeder for each specific crop type by pressing `RShift + K`. Poor settings will lead to additional crop loss.

3. **Global Crop Profiles**: Save your calibration profiles globally for different crop types. You can easily switch combines or rejoin the server with your preferred settings for Wheat, Corn, or Soybeans.

4. **Dynamic Yield & Info HUD**: A draggable display shows real-time Engine Load, Productivity, Crop Loss %, and Yield in metric tons per hectare or bushels per acre.

5. **Physical Crop Loss System**: Exceeding 95% engine load or using suboptimal threshing settings will physically reduce the grain volume entering your bunker. Driving smart is emphasized over speed.

6. **Difficulty Modes**: Choose between Arcade, Normal, and Realistic difficulty modes based on your playstyle preference. Realistic mode offers a strict simulation experience where speed and crop loss are tied to the combine's physical capacity and your calibration settings.

The latest update, V1.4.1.0, brings several fixes to address issues such as game crashes with equipment from DLC packs, Courseplay second combine speed limit, AUTO mode settings on dedicated servers, Combine Settings menu not functioning properly with specific systems, and potential crashes with custom vehicles due to missing methods. These fixes aim to improve the overall stability and functionality of the mod.
