Like real-world crops, crops can be rolled in the spring. This mod allows rolling to clear Needs rolling on newly sown crops and the first two visible growth stages without advancing, cutting, reseeding or resetting the crop.
Installation
Copy FS25_RollThroughStage2.zip, still zipped, into:DocumentsMy GamesFarmingSimulator2025mods
Restart FS25 and select “Roll Through Stage 2” when loading your save.
Use an existing roller normally. No new shop item is added.
Features
- Rolling clears Needs rolling on newly sown crops and the first two visible growth stages, standard FS25 density states 1, 2 and 3.
- Later stages do not receive the extra rolling benefit.
- Only the rolling-status layer is written. The mod does not advance, cut, reseed or reset the crop.
- All vehicles using the game’s standard Roller specialization are covered, including modded rollers.
- Grass rollers operate as soil/crop rollers while this mod is enabled. Their normal grass-regrowth/fertilizing action is replaced to avoid cutting back plants. Disable this mod to restore that original action.
- Independent custom roller scripts may require a separate compatibility patch.
- AI roller growth restrictions are extended to match.
- Combined sowing machines keep their own AI requirements.
- Normal folding/lowering and land access apply.
- Normal tractor and implement tyre crop destruction remains active. Use narrow tyres or turn Crop destruction off if your crop or map allows tyre damage at these early stages.
- The mod preserves crops under the roller’s working area. It does not make the entire tractor/implement combination immune to damage.
- Custom crops must use the standard early-state numbering and rolling layer.
- Harvestable, forage-ready, cut and withered states are excluded when their metadata places them earlier than the normal cutoff.
Compatibility and validation
- Built against the installed FS25 1.23.1.0 SDK and modDesc version 113.
- Lua checks passed for mixed growth stages, crop preservation, repeated passes, field boundaries, custom crops, AI limits, seeder AI and map-cache cleanup.
- These checks use simulated density maps.
- In-game driving, AI course generation, multiplayer, Precision Farming and your full mod collection are not verified.
Quick in-game check
On a test save, roll a strip of young crop that shows Needs rolling.
Confirm the status clears and the crop stays at the same growth stage.
Compare against a strip beyond the second visible stage: it should still need rolling.
Try an AI pass and check log.txt for [RollThroughStage2] or Lua errors.
Remove
Disable the mod when loading the save, or remove its ZIP with the game closed.
Normal roller behaviour returns. Rolling already completed remains recorded in the save’s ordinary field data.
Original Lua source is included in scripts/RollThroughStage2.lua.
No proprietary game source is included in this mod.
