FS25 Realistic Soil & Fertilizer V1.1.3

V1.1.3.0
Previously, dragging the HUD to a new position would work in-session but the position setting dropdown had no way to reflect that — and selecting any preset would snap the HUD back.
What’s New:
– New Custom option in the HUD Position setting
– Drag or resize the HUD in-game → the setting automatically switches to Custom
– Your custom position is saved and restored on every reload
– Selecting a preset from the dropdown still snaps the HUD to that position as before
No save migration needed — existing saves work as-is.
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 <fieldId>

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.
Enjoy more realistic farming!
V1.1.2.0
The Soil HUD position, scale, and visibility were lost every time you reloaded your save. The HUD would snap back to its default position and reappear even if you had hidden it with the J key.
What’s Fixed:
– HUD position and scale now save on every game save and when exiting the game
– Hiding the HUD with the J key now persists across reloads
No save migration needed.

Thank you for sharing the detailed changelog for the Realistic Soil & Fertilizer mod version 1.1.3.0 for Farming Simulator 25. The new Custom option in the HUD Position setting allows players to drag or resize the HUD in-game, automatically switching the setting to Custom. This custom position is then saved and restored on every reload. Selecting a preset from the dropdown still snaps the HUD to that position as before. This update enhances the user experience by providing more control over the HUD position without the need for a save migration.

The mod itself adds depth and realism to soil management and fertilization in FS25. It introduces dynamic soil fertility by tracking nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels for each field. Nutrient cycles are realistic, with different crops extracting different nutrients and organic matter content affecting long-term fertility. pH levels also impact nutrient availability. The mod includes three types of fertilizers with varying costs and effectiveness – Liquid Fertilizer, Solid Fertilizer, and Manure.

Players can choose from three difficulty settings – Simple, Realistic, and Hardcore – catering to different playstyles. The user-friendly interface integrates seamlessly into the game settings menu, providing real-time notifications for low nutrients and field-specific soil information. Console commands offer advanced control options.

This mod enriches gameplay by making fertilizer management more important, encouraging crop rotation strategies, adding an economic planning element, and increasing realism without excessive complexity. It is fully compatible with multiplayer, all maps, and other mods, ensuring save game compatibility. The emphasis on soil health and fertilizer economics adds a meaningful layer to farm strategy without directly affecting crop growth rates.

Installation of the mod is simple – just extract it to your mods folder and configure settings in-game under the "Soil & Fertilizer" section. Perfect for players looking for a more immersive farming experience, this mod strikes a balance between realism and playability, enhancing the strategic aspect of soil management in farming simulations.

It's great to see these improvements and fixes, providing players with a more consistent and enjoyable gameplay experience.
