Deep Ruts v1.0
Make every pass leave a deeper mark. Deep Ruts increases the strength of Farming Simulator 25’s native ground-deformation system, allowing tractors and other vehicles to leave deeper, more noticeable physical wheel ruts on supported terrain.
The mod does not replace FS25’s deformation system or add fake tire-track decals. Terrain type, ground moisture, vehicle weight, tire width, and driving speed still determine how the ground reacts.
Change the rut depth under Game Settings → Deep Ruts:
– Off / Base Game – 1.00x
– Default – 1.75x
– Medium – 2.25x
– High – 2.50x
The selected setting is saved with your savegame and applies immediately.
Deep Ruts is designed to work alongside:
– Mud System Physics
– Use Up Your Tyres
Deep Ruts changes only the native terrain-displacement strength. Mud System Physics can continue controlling mud sinking, traction, resistance, tire pressure, and related mud effects.
Use Up Your Tyres can continue controlling tire wear, worn tire radius, and wear-related friction.
Performance
Deep Ruts does not add a continuous per-frame update loop. The selected multiplier is applied when wheel physics initializes or when the setting changes. Actual terrain deformation is still processed by FS25’s native system. Performance impact should be minimal, although very high ground-deformation settings may have a greater visual impact on heavily traveled areas.
Requirements
– Farming Simulator 25
– Ground Deformation must be enabled in the game settings
– The map must support FS25’s native dynamic ground deformation
Multiplayer
Multiplayer is supported. The server host or administrator controls the rut-depth setting, which is synchronized with joining players.
For the best results, all players should use the same mod version.
