Advanced Damage System BETA 10 v0.12.0 FS25
Advanced Damage System (ADS)
Advanced Damage System overhauls vehicle wear, breakdowns and maintenance in Farming Simulator 25. Each machine has its own components and consumables. How you operate it, what you ask it to do and how well you maintain it all affect its reliability. Repairs take time, so spotting problems early and planning maintenance can keep your fleet working through the season.
BETA — Open Testing
ADS is currently in open beta. Bugs and compatibility issues may occur. Back up your savegames before updating and use a separate save to try new features.
Component Wear and Breakdowns
Pumps, hoses, cylinders, batteries and other components wear and fail in different ways. Cold starts, heavy loads, overheating and neglected maintenance can shorten their service life. A worn hydraulic cylinder may let a raised load drift down, while a failing battery can make the engine harder to start.
Hydraulics That Respond to Load
Hydraulic flow, pressure and oil temperature affect how quickly steering, hitches, booms and implements respond. Cold oil, low fluid levels and clogged filters can slow operation. Worn components can lose pressure, and damaged hoses can leak or rupture. Vehicles with separate hydraulic circuits use their own oil and filter.
Walkaround Inspections and Repairs
Walk around the vehicle before a shift to check fluids, filters, the battery and lubrication points, or look for visible signs of faults. Manual and automatic pre-shift inspections share results. For a deeper diagnosis, use the impact wrench to inspect individual vehicle zones and record the findings in the maintenance log. Select Repair with the wrench in hand to choose a component to repair or replace.
Hands-On Servicing
Top up fluids at dedicated filler points, replace filters and batteries at the vehicle, and grease individual lubrication points. Catch used oil and coolant in the 65 L Fluid Drain Cart, then pump the waste into reusable 200 L drums for dealer disposal. Menu-based draining is also available in Gameplay settings.
Carry tools and supplies in the Field Service 620 case or a vehicle toolbox. Use a portable battery tester, jumper cables or the Mobile Jump Starter for battery work. Clean radiators and air intakes with a mobile compressor or a blow gun connected to onboard air. Vehicles without onboard air can be fitted with a Service air kit.
Workshops and Multiplayer
Book a dealer visit, call a mobile mechanic or run your own workshop with staff and equipment. Dealers have service queues and handle warranty work, while mobile service adds a call-out fee. In multiplayer, farm managers can authorize another farm to service their vehicles by hand. Player-owned workshops can also take paid jobs from visiting farms.
Upgrades, Warranty and Leasing
Available upgrades include engine tuning on compatible vehicles, transmission adjustments and protective coatings. Neglected maintenance can void warranty coverage, and returning leased equipment with faults or overdue service can lead to extra charges.
Service Menus and Dashboard
The vehicle radial menu puts inspections, workshop services, spare parts and tool storage within reach. On-vehicle markers show where to inspect or use a tool. The dashboard displays hydraulic readings and fault warnings, with optional indicators for turn signals, headlights, work lights and beacons.
