Mower Plus

Mower Plus expands mower gameplay with wear, overload damage, blockages and purchasable spare parts.

• Blades, drums and skids wear down while mowing. High workloads can cause additional damage.
• On supported mowers, the number of drums is detected automatically and the required spare-part consumption is adjusted accordingly. If detection fails, saved default values are used.

Operating modes

Open General Settings → Mower Plus and select the operating mode. When the mod is disabled, mowers operate normally. Simple mode disables blockages for players and helpers and clears existing blockages while keeping workload, load limits, wear and spare-part maintenance active. In full mode, blocked field workers report the reason and stop working until the blockage is cleared. The mode is saved in the savegame and is set by the host or server administrator in multiplayer.

Spare parts and partial maintenance

Compatible spare parts are available from HMT Spare Parts. Individual crates contain 50 blades, one drum or 20 skids, while pallets provide larger quantities. Stop the mower and switch it off, then place crates or pallets from your farm within five metres. Partial maintenance starts as soon as a suitable spare part is available. Required parts are replaced individually, and the remaining quantity is shown. Emptying a pallet takes eight seconds and does not consume any spare parts. Replacing parts takes 20 seconds, and parts are only consumed after successful completion. Partially used crates and pallets retain their remaining contents.

HUD and controls

The HUD displays workload and component status. You can choose between a large and small font for your personal HUD.

• Left Ctrl + Left Alt + 3: Toggle the HUD on or off
• Left Ctrl + Left Alt + 4: Toggle move mode on or off
• Left Ctrl + Left Alt + 5: Switch the HUD size between 50, 25, 20 and 75 per cent of the speedometer's width
• Ctrl + Alt + Caps Lock: Start or end maintenance, provided no custom maintenance key has been saved

All HUD actions and maintenance functions can be freely assigned to keyboard or controller inputs under Options → Controls. A saved maintenance binding replaces the default key.
