Swather / Tedder Plus adds normal wear and tear, overload-related damage, and purchasable spare parts for swathers and tedders in FS25. It is intended for single-player use; multiplayer is not supported.
Features
- Automatic detection of the number of rotors and arms for supported base-game equipment and some modded equipment.
- Spare parts consumption is adjusted according to the detected number of rotors and arms. If detection is not possible, predefined default values are used.
- Tines, tine retainers or safety brackets, and claw couplings wear out during operation.
- Excessive operational stress causes additional damage.
- The HUD displays the condition of the equipment and can be repositioned, hidden, and resized.
- Corresponding spare parts boxes are available in the “HMT-Ersatzteile” (HMT Spare Parts) shop category.
- For single-player use only; multiplayer is not supported.
Specifications
- Standard wear interval for tines: 10 operating hours.
- Standard wear interval for tine retainers: 15 operating hours.
- Standard wear interval for claw couplings: 20 operating hours.
- Spare parts boxes contain 50 tines, 100 tine retainers, or 10 claw couplings.
- Purchase quantities range from 1 to 5 boxes.
- Maintenance up to version 1.1.2.2: default key combination Ctrl + Alt + 6.
- From version 1.1.2.3 onwards: Ctrl + Alt + Caps Lock is also supported.
Controls
Operation takes place while inside a vehicle equipped with a supported swather or tedder. The system prioritizes the currently selected implement; if none is selected, it defaults to the first one detected. Please close any open menus before proceeding.
- HUD: Left Ctrl + Left Alt + 3: Show or hide the HUD.
- Left Ctrl + Left Alt + 4: Toggle “move mode”, allowing you to drag the visible HUD by holding down the left mouse button. Camera and zoom controls are disabled while in this mode.
- Left Ctrl + Left Alt + 5: Cycle through HUD sizes, 50% to 25% to 20% to 75% of the speedometer width.
- Maintenance, always active: Ctrl + Alt + Caps Lock: Start maintenance or clear a blockage. Pressing this key combination again during maintenance cancels the process without consuming any parts. Maintenance can be performed even when the HUD is hidden.
To perform maintenance, bring the vehicle to a stop and turn off the implement. For parts replacement, the appropriate spare parts boxes or pallets, belonging to the same farm and containing sufficient stock, must be located within five meters of the implement. A blockage can be cleared in eight seconds without consuming any spare parts. Otherwise, the component group with the highest level of wear, for which sufficient replacement parts are available, will be replaced over a 20-second period. Additional component groups can be serviced by repeating the process.
Spare parts are only consumed once the process is successfully completed. Moving the vehicle or turning on the implement cancels the operation. The process is also aborted if the required supply of spare parts is lost, for example, if the parts are moved away.
The three HUD actions can be remapped via Options → Controls. There is also a separate, remappable action for maintenance, which does not have a default key assignment. Existing user-defined key bindings remain unchanged. The fixed key combination, Ctrl + Alt + Caps Lock, remains active regardless of any custom settings.
For information, questions, and bug reports, please use the FBM support thread.
CVT Note: The reported issue remains open and has not yet been reproducible. Should it occur again, please provide the full log.txt file along with a brief description of the situation.
Changelog
Version 1.1.2.4
- Fixed spare parts calculation: Minor rounding discrepancies during saving and loading no longer trigger an additional spare part requirement at integer boundaries.
- Pre-planning and the initiation of maintenance now use the same calculation method.
- Added a fixed maintenance key combination: Ctrl + Alt + Caps Lock. An additional key binding for maintenance can still be assigned within the game.
- Camera inputs are now disabled while repositioning the HUD. Repositioning mode is automatically exited when switching implements.
- Refined the shared mouse cursor management for multiple “Plus” HUDs, including proper restoration after closing menus.
- This version is intended for single-player use; multiplayer is not supported.
