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.

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 <fieldId>
– 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.

V1.0.1.0
Please read this carefully !!!
When the mod is used together with mods like Precision Farming, the settings are not available in the pause menu for now. You can configure it using the console. I’m working on a proper fix for this.

You can still use the mod with other mods, but there won’t be a settings tab in the pause menu. Keep this in mind.
There might still be issues, but I have tested it on my own machine and got no errors after the changes. For this reason I pushed this version.
