Better Bale Physics improves bale physics in Farming Simulator 25 by reducing unnecessary jitter, slow sliding and the tendency of stacked bales to move apart on their own. The mod detects when a bale has been set down and has settled on the ground or a stable bale stack, then freezes it in place.
Normal physics are restored when a vehicle or bale fork approaches, when the bale is picked up, or when its support is removed. Fastened tension belts lock bales relative to their vehicle, while loose round and square bales stabilize relative to the trailer after settling, including upper layers supported by other stabilized bales.
Features
- Reduces unnecessary bale jitter and movement
- Stabilizes stacked bales after they have settled
- Reduces unwanted slow rotation
- Normal physics remain active when bales are moved
- Works automatically without additional configuration
- Supports round and square bales
- Compatible with base-game and modded bales
- Suitable for large bale stacks and storage areas
- No additional HUD or shop configuration required
Changelog
- V1.0.0.2
- Added stabilization for loose round and square bales on trailers, including stacks with three or more layers.
- Stabilization follows the trailer and dampens small movements relative to it.
- Taking an upper bale no longer releases intact supporting layers underneath.
- Narrowed fork detection vertically to prevent releasing the layer below the bale being handled.
- Automatic release on pickup, tipping, and loss of support; tension belts take over existing stabilization.
- V1.0.0.1
- Added automatic freezing after a placed bale has settled.
- Added automatic release when a bale fork or vehicle approaches, and when a bale is picked up.
- Added rigid tension-belt locking relative to the carrier, with release when the belts are unfastened.
- Prevented freezing while carrying, on vehicles, or without stable support.
- Added support checks and release of nearby stacked bales during pickup.
