Forest Converter V1.1

Forest Converter V1.1

Forest Converter is a universal tree-conversion script mod for Farming Simulator 25 on PC and Mac. It replaces safely isolated standing map trees with a configurable mix of verified mature forestry trees.

Unlike a small radius-based replacement tool, Forest Converter can scan:
The entire map
All farmlands owned by the current farm
Only the farmland where the player is currently standing
Every conversion starts with a protected preview. You can review the number of eligible trees, skipped-tree safety information, and normalized species mix before confirming any changes.

The default mix is:
50% Silverrun Pine
50% Silverrun Ponderosa Pine
Lodgepole Pine, Giant Sequoia, the bundled Pine and Spruce mature variants trees, and other compatible species remain optional at 0% until you choose to include them.

Important: Back up an existing savegame before converting trees. Conversion changes the savegame-managed tree population and is not intended to be an undo tool.

Main features
Dedicated Settings > Forest Converter tab
Works on fresh starts and existing savegames
All Map Trees, Owned Farmlands, and Current Farmland scopes
Configurable weighted tree-species mix
Weights are normalized automatically; they do not need to total 100
Protected preview and confirmation before conversion
Trees are processed gradually to reduce frame spikes
Mature replacement models are created immediately
Compatible map and enabled tree-pack registrations are detected automatically
Only verified mature forestry targets are offered by the converter
Cut trees, logs, stumps, protected objects, and unsafe tree hierarchies are skipped
Automatic circuit breaker disables conversion safely when an unsupported condition or excessive failure rate is detected
Thirteen bundled mature forestry trees are also individually placeable from the Construction menu
Optional Forest Converter Sapling Add-On with eight pallet sizes and dynamic species selection
Bundled Forest Converter trees
The following 13 credited mature tree models are registered under unique Forest Converter species names:

Spruce Variant 1
Spruce Variant 2
Spruce
Scottish Spruce Variant 1
Scottish Spruce Variant 2
Scottish Spruce Variant 3 — repaired distant LOD
Pine Variant 1
Pine Variant 2
Old Pine
Scotch Pine
Riverside Birch
Cypress
Eucalyptus

They are available as optional conversion targets and under:
Construction > Landscaping > Forest Converter Trees
Construction placement creates a mature, registered tree without converting or changing any nearby trees.

Optional Sapling Add-On
FS25_ForestConverterSaplingAddon.zip is an optional companion download. It adds liftable pallets containing:
6 saplings
24 saplings
40 saplings
60 saplings
120 saplings
175 saplings
240 saplings
300 saplings
The Tree Type selector is built from FS25’s active plantable-tree registry, allowing all 13 Forest Converter registrations—and other compatible active species—to appear without relying on a fixed hard-coded list.

The pallet displays the selected supported species name, and the label color can be changed in the shop. Forest Converter saplings use a compatible young stage and grow into the selected mature model.

Giant Sequoia remains an explicit oversized option. It should be treated as a chainsaw tree because its mature trunk is generally too large for a normal wood harvester.

The Sapling Add-On has its own technical mod identity and does not replace the original Tree Sapling Pack. Both can remain installed, although this will add similar pallet products to the shop.
