Clogging Addon V1.1

Clogging Addon V1.1

Clogging Addon for FS25

IMPORTANT!
The FS25 Realistic Harvesting mod is required for this addon and must be installed separately in the mod folder.
Realistic Harvesting is not included in this download.
With the Clogging Addon, harvesting in Farming Simulator 25 finally becomes more realistic.
It automatically integrates itself into combines and forage harvesters!

The addon expands Realistic Harvesting with a realistic clogging and overload system for combines and forage harvesters. Anyone who drives too fast continuously or picks up too much material at once risks clogging the intake.

Features
Realistic clogging depending on engine load and material quantity
Different tuning for Arcade, Normal and Realistic modes
Combines can clog under excessive load
Forage harvesters react particularly strongly at high engine loads
The header, intake and pickup stop in the event of a blockage
The intake can be reversed
When reversing, the corresponding intake effects run backwards
With grass pickups, material is placed back in front of the pickup when reversing
Reversed grain can land on the ground again as a windrow and be picked up again
In the event of severe blockages, you must get out and clear the header directly
No artificial speed limit – the driver decides how heavily to load the machine
Designed to work in multiplayer/dedicated server environments
Controls

Y – Reverse intake / header
Z – Start the machine again after clearing the blockage
Z – Manually clear a blockage at the header in the event of a hard blockage

Requirement
The FS25 Realistic Harvesting mod is required for this addon and must be installed separately in the mod folder.

Note
The load depends, among other things, on the machine, engine power, working width, crop quantity and driving speed. As a result, the behavior can differ significantly depending on the vehicle and field.

Anyone who continuously operates their machine at its performance limit must expect the intake to eventually clog up. Exactly as it should.

Have fun harvesting more realistically!

V1.1.0.0
AI helper improved
AI helpers can no longer get stuck due to an intake blockage.
Dynamic speed control for combines and forage harvesters added.
The AI automatically adjusts its driving speed to the engine load.
Target range is approximately 85–88% engine load.

Multiplayer & Dedicated Server improved
Intake blockages are now synchronized much more smoothly in multiplayer.
Intermediate values are transmitted more continuously.
No more sudden jumps from, for example, 88% directly to 100%.
Improvements for Dedicated Servers.

Forage harvester load readjusted
Arcade: x3.45
Normal: x4.10
Realistic: x5.00
Pickup: x5.00
Grass and pickup behavior further optimized.

Pickup reverse extended
When reversing, collected grass is placed back in a windrow in front of the pickup.
PICKUPIN effects stop when a blockage occurs.
The visible pickup material flow runs backward when reversing.

Combine intake visually enhanced
As the intake blockage increases, visibly more crop material builds up in the header.
At around 90% intake blockage, the material flow slows down.
At 100% blockage, the intake visibly stops.
The combine intake now behaves similarly realistically to the forage harvester.

– Reel system revised
– The reel reliably stops when blocked.
– Improved compatibility with Dynamic Header Speed.
– The reel now correctly runs backward when reversing.
– Different reel animation types are supported.
– Normal reel control is correctly restored after clearing the blockage.

– Bug fixes & optimizations
– AI load controller corrected.
– Multiplayer blockage synchronization improved.
– Pickup effects corrected.
– Reverse behavior improved.
– Reel rotation direction corrected.
– General stability and compatibility improvements.

Important:
Realistic Harvesting is still required for the Blockage Addon V1.1.0.0 and must be installed separately.
Realistic Harvesting is not part of this download.
