Field Health – Crop Diseases & Pests V1.1

Field Health – Crop Diseases & Pests V1.1

Field Health: Crop Diseases & Pests
Field Health adds crop diseases and pests to Farming Simulator 25. The system is based on real threats found across Europe, with occurrence rates inspired by Polish agricultural data.

The mod is still in early development, so bugs and balance issues may occur.

Main Features
– Each growing field can receive one disease and one pest per season.
– NPC fields are not affected.
– 44 threats in total:
– 24 diseases
– 20 pests
– Includes powdery mildew, septoria, rust, fusarium, late blight, aphids, cereal leaf beetles, Colorado potato beetles, corn borers and more.
– Threats only affect compatible crops and growth stages.
– Risk depends on crop rotation, plowing, liming, mulching, fertilizing, weed control and weather.
– Diseases and pests begin in small patches, grow over time and can spread to neighbouring fields.
– Crop damage only occurs at severe stages, giving you time to react.

Treatment
– Fungicide cures diseases.
– Insecticide removes pests.
– One correct treatment protects the field until harvest.
– Products work in normal sprayers.
– AI helpers only spray fields that require treatment.

Crop Protection Products
– 1 L bottles, 5 L and 20 L canisters.
– Fungicide and insecticide available.
– Opryskex and MST brands.
– Concentrated products:
– 1 L fungicide concentrate creates 290 L of spray.
– 1 L insecticide concentrate creates 1,450 L of spray.
– Unloaded sprayer liquid is stored in 20 L canisters.

Field Monitoring
ESC > Map > Crop protection includes layers for:
– Protection
– Diseases
– Pests
– Disease types
– Pest types

A minimap layer can be switched with Left Alt + \.

Field and farmland information also show additional health data, with notifications for new or severe threats.

Settings
25 in-game settings allow you to adjust:
– Disease and pest probability
– Farming and weather influence
– Growth and spreading speed
– Patch size
– Crop damage
– Protection duration
– Product usage and prices
– Meadow threats
– Notifications

The system can be made easier, harder or disabled completely.

In multiplayer, only administrators can change these settings.

Languages
13 languages supported:
English, Polish, French, German, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Czech, Romanian and Hungarian.

The mod automatically uses your game language. Unsupported languages use English.

Compatibility
– Precision Farming support
– Highlands Fishing DLC onions supported
– Modded crops receive common threats such as grey mould and aphids
– Multiplayer supported
– Mod data is stored separately from the savegame, so removing the mod does not break saves
– Updates preserve fields, settings and purchased products

Include your log.txt, map name, installed mods and steps to reproduce the problem.

What is translated
– Map page “Crop protection” with all five layers, legends and the farmland box
– Minimap layer and its key binding in the controls menu
– Field info lines: threats, severity, risk and its cause, protection
– Notifications about new and severe threats
– All 25 settings with their descriptions and options
– Shop items with their descriptions, the liquids and the brand option
– Every page of the in-game help (ESC > Help)
– Mod title and description in the mod list

Fixes
– The Polish description of the setting “Influence of weather” now uses the same option names as the setting itself.

Compatibility
– Savegames of version 1.0.0.0 load without any change; fields, threats, protection, settings and the bought bottles and canisters all stay. Nothing was removed from the game.
– Multiplayer: the server and all players need the same version (1.1.0.0).

Good to know
– The tables in the in-game help are still pictures in English. Translated tables will follow in a later update, for now it would take to much time to translate them by hand.
