Field Health adds crop diseases and pests to Farming Simulator 25. The threats are based on real diseases and pests found in Poland, while the system remains simple to use.
Features
- Each field with a growing crop can get one disease and one pest per season, from sowing to harvest. NPC fields never get sick.
- There are 44 threats: 24 diseases, such as powdery mildew, septoria, rust, fusarium and potato late blight, and 20 pests, such as aphids, cereal leaf beetles, pollen beetles, Colorado potato beetles and corn borers. Each one attacks only its own crops, at the right growth stage and time of year. Rare threats appear rarely, and common ones more often.
- Crop rotation, plowing, liming, mulching stubble, fertilizing and weed control affect the risk. Warmth and moisture also favour diseases.
- A threat starts as small, irregular patches that grow over time and can spread to a neighbouring field. It only destroys the crop at its strongest stage, so you have time to react.
Crop protection
Fungicide cures diseases, and insecticide kills pests. A single pass of the sprayer with the right product cleans the field and protects it until harvest. The products work like herbicide in any sprayer, and the AI helper sprays only the fields that need it.
Field health information
- On the map in the menu, on the “Crop protection” page with several layers: protection, diseases, pests and their types.
- On the minimap. Switch layers with LAlt + , rebindable in the controls.
- In the field info box and the farmland box.
- In notifications about new and severe threats.
Settings
The mod has more than 20 options that can be changed in the game menu without editing any files: disease and pest chances, influence of farming and weather, how fast threats develop and spread, patch size, spreading to neighbouring fields, crop losses, protection threshold and duration, product usage, shop prices, threats on meadows and fodder crops, notifications and much more. The whole system can be switched off at any time.
- Precision Farming support: nitrogen, pH and soil type affect the risk.
- Support for onions from the Highlands Fishing DLC.
- Full in-game help: ESC > Help > Field Health, with tables of all threats.
- Polish and English.
- Multiplayer support. Only the admin can change the settings.
- Safe saving: the mod keeps its data in its own files, so your savegame still works after removing it.
Specifications
- Crop protection products: 1 l bottles, 5 l canisters and 20 l canisters of fungicide and insecticide.
- Brands: Opryskex and MST.
- Every container has its own 3D model, a realistic label and tuned physics.
- The products are concentrated: a single bottle makes hundreds of litres of spray mixture.
