FS25_SoilFertilizer Wiki

Realistic Soil & Fertilizer adds per-field nutrient management to Farming Simulator 25. Every field on the map tracks Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Organic Matter (OM), and pH independently. Crops deplete nutrients at harvest; fertilizer, manure, and lime restore them. Rain leaches nutrients, seasons shift nitrogen, and neglected fields slowly recover on their own.

Quick facts

  • Current version: 2.0.2.0
  • Multiplayer: fully supported — server-authoritative settings, admin-only changes
  • Dedicated server: supported — HUD and GUI are disabled server-side, simulation runs normally
  • PrecisionFarming: compatible — both mods run independently; See-and-Spray integration bridges our weed tracking into PF's nozzle activation logic when both are installed
  • Multifruit maps: supported — unknown crops use a balanced fallback extraction rate
  • Field Health System: weed, pest, and disease pressure tracked per field — apply herbicide, insecticide, or fungicide to reduce
  • Soil Compaction: vehicles ≥ 8 t compact soil (0–100%), capped at 20% nutrient penalty; subsoiler reduces by 15% per pass — see Soil Compaction
  • Coverage Tracking: sprayer tracks per-cell coverage; fully-treated notification requires ≥ 70% field coverage
  • PDA Soil Page: press Shift+P in-game to open the PDA with Farm Overview and Treatment Plan tabs
  • Soil Map overlay: press ESC → Map and use the sidebar to toggle and cycle overlay layers (10 layers including Compaction)
  • Save compatibility: soil data saved to soilData.xml in your savegame folder
