Mud on the road V3.0.1

Mud on the road V3.0.1

MUD ON THE ROAD
Tyres only drop mud when there is real mud on them the mud the game shows on your tyres after field work. Clean or washed tyres leave nothing.
On roads, yards and tracks muddy tyres leave tyreprint smears and throw off clods. Faster driving flings clods further across the road.
The tyres shed their mud as they go, so the tyres clean up as the trail fades over a few hundred metres.
Smears bend with the wheels through corners.
Mud builds up: driving over old mud freshens and thickens it, and new layers go on top.
Works for every vehicle and trailer with wheels, including AI helpers.

CLEANING UP
Universal Bucket with Brush: a telehandler bucket with a Cherrystyle road brush. It has a galvanised hood, black arms, yellow poly bristles and a hydraulic motor. Shop: Telehandler tools, £5,000.
Rain washes mud off the road: heavy rain clears it in about 5 ingame hours, light rain in around half a day.
In dry weather mud dries and turns pale, and is gone after about three ingame days.
Sweepers clean it up: any sweeper brush that is turned on removes the mud it passes over.
Scrape it up with a bucket: put a loader, telehandler or wheel loader bucket down with its lip on the road and push forward. The mud goes into the bucket (as manure in the base game, or as mud/dirt/soil if another mod adds that fill type).

MUD ON ROAD SIGN
A small A-frame “Mud on road” warning sign in the UK roadsign style.
Shop: Decorations. Price: 25.

GOOD TO KNOW
Mud is saved with your savegame.
Multiplayer: the mud is purely visual and worked out on each PC, so it adds no network traffic.
Settings: modSettings/FS25_MudOnRoad.xml is created on first start. Change how long mud lasts, how far it is carried, how many clods are thrown, the maximum amount of mud on the map and more.
Multiplayer now supported

V3.0.1.0
New: Mud On Road options in the game menu
Settings: Game Mud On Road now has these options:

Tyre print trails (on by default)
Switch it off to have only clods of mud on the road, without the tyre print trails or the streaks of mud across the lane.
Clods still come from muddy tyres as before, and still fade, wash away, show on the map and count for fines.
Mud already on the road stays until it’s cleaned up or fades. Only new mud follows the setting.
Fines for mud on public roads (on by default)
Mud your farm leaves on a public road for hours brings a warning, then fines until its cleaned up.
A Mud On Road sign nearby stops them. Switch the option off for no fines at all.
Vehicles spread mud (off by default)
Clean vehicles driving through mud pick some up and spread it further along the road, and traffic squashes clods and carries them off.

Your choices are saved, and only the host can change them in multiplayer. All options are in English, German and French.
