Advanced Vehicle Damage System

Advanced Damage System (ADS) adds a detailed wear, failure, maintenance and repair system to the game. Every supported vehicle has its own components, consumables and service intervals. Operation, workload and care determine its reliability and service life.

• Component wear and failures: Pumps, hoses, hydraulic cylinders, batteries and other components wear out and fail individually. Cold starts, overheating, heavy workloads and neglected maintenance shorten their service life.
• Load-dependent hydraulics: Oil flow, pressure and oil temperature affect steering, hitch systems, load arms and attachments. Damaged hoses may leak or burst, while worn components can lose pressure.
• Inspection and repair: Before starting work, check fluid levels, filters, batteries, grease points and visible damage. An impact wrench can inspect individual vehicle areas, allowing damaged components to be repaired or replaced.
• Hands-on maintenance: Refill operating fluids, replace filters and batteries, and service individual grease points. Used oil and coolant can be collected in a drain container, transferred into reusable drums and disposed of at the dealership.
• Tools and equipment: Carry tools and spare parts in the Field Service 620 case or a vehicle-mounted toolbox. Battery testers, jump cables, portable starters, compressors and blow guns make roadside maintenance more practical.
• Workshops and multiplayer: Use dealership service, call a mobile mechanic or run your own workshop with staff and equipment. In multiplayer, farm managers can grant service access, and workshops can accept paid jobs from other farms.
• Upgrades and service menus: Engine tuning, transmission adjustments, protective coatings, warranty checks and leasing costs are also included. The dashboard displays hydraulic readings and error messages, while the radial vehicle menu provides access to inspections, spare parts and workshop services.

Open beta notice: ADS is currently in an open testing phase, so errors or compatibility issues may occur. Back up your savegames before every update and use a separate save to test new features safely.
