Advanced Maintenance for FS25 - overhauls the vehicle's damage and repair system, adding layers of realism and strategy to equipment management. Created by modder MechMoxer, this mod introduces a maintenance meter that decreases over time based on usage, leading to potential breakdowns if neglected. Vehicles and tools require regular servicing at the in-game workshop, with consequences like random shutdowns or reduced performance for low maintenance levels.
Features Advanced Maintenance:
Maintenance Mechanics:
- Maintenance Meter: A combined bar displayed in the vehicle/tool HUD showing current status (decreases with operating hours; at 0%, vehicles won't start and require workshop repair).
- Breakdown Risks: Random shutdowns based on maintenance level and usage hours; keeping above 50% significantly reduces failure chances.
- Wear Factors: Influenced by operating hours, idling, and passive time (e.g., engine off wear at 0.5% per hour).
Repair and Servicing:
- Workshop Integration: Regular maintenance at the shop restores the meter; simple repairs evolve into planned services with costs scaling by neglect level.
- Consequences: Low maintenance can lead to power loss, overheating warnings, or full breakdowns, adding urgency to fleet management.
Display and Logging:
- HUD Integration: Real-time maintenance status visible on vehicles and tools.
- Logbook: Tracks last service date and hours for planning future maintenance.
Configurations:
- No extensive custom configs, but fully compatible with all in-game and modded vehicles/tools (e.g., enhances realism for Massey Ferguson 3670 or BigBud Series 2).
- Options for aftermarket vs. genuine parts (in related updates, tying into Advanced Damage System features).
Animations and Interactivity:
- Subtle visual cues like warning icons for low maintenance or overheating.
- Interactive workshop menus for selecting service types.
