Realistic Soil & Fertilizer v2.3.6
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:

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.
v2.3.6.0
– Harvest Trail, Stats Bar & Bug Fixes
What’s new
Harvest trail overlay. Amber dots now appear in the game world and on the minimap showing exactly where your combine has passed. The trail resets each game day and clears automatically once the full field is covered — a satisfying visual reward when you finish a field.
Harvester panel stats bar. The bottom of the harvester HUD panel now shows 4 live stats: estimated yield (t/ha based on soil efficiency), field coverage % with a mini progress bar, session area harvested (ha), and total field area (ha). Inspired by the Precision Farming DLC layout.
What’s fixed
Weed pressure spikes on reload or time-skip — pressure increases are now capped at 20 pts/day so weed severity rises gradually instead of jumping overnight
Application rate multiplier not shown — the SF rate multiplier is now displayed in the sprayer panel title bar so you always know the active rate at a glance
Colorblind mode not auto-enabling — colorblind mode now activates automatically when the game’s own accessibility setting is turned on
Translation
French translation updated (contributed by Seb) — full sync including new keys.
Save compatibility
Fully compatible with existing saves. No migration needed.
