Real Mechanical Wear adds a detailed mechanical wear and maintenance system to Farming Simulator.

Instead of vehicles simply losing a generic amount of condition, this mod simulates the wear of individual mechanical systems based on engine load, operating conditions, contamination, temperature and usage.

The harder you work your machines, the more mechanical stress they experience.

Key Features:

Engine Wear: Cylinder, piston, bearing, crankshaft and valve wear, compression loss, blow-by, internal friction, carbon buildup, power loss, increased fuel consumption, starting reliability and idle stability.
Oil System: Oil level, oil quality, oil contamination and oil filter condition simulated independently.
Cooling System: Coolant level, coolant quality, radiator dirt, cooling fan, thermostat and water pump condition.
Turbocharger: Turbo bearing and shaft wear on turbocharged vehicles.
Transmission & Drivetrain: Independent wear for clutch, transmission gears, differential and transmission oil.
Fuel System: Injector, fuel pump and fuel filter condition.
Battery & Starting System: Battery capacity, charge, starter and alternator condition, with a jump-start function when needed.
Exhaust Smoke & Performance: Visible consequences such as increased smoke, reduced power and poor idle stability.
Realistic Failure System: Severe deterioration can lead to actual operational problems.
Comprehensive Maintenance: From oil changes and radiator cleaning to complete engine overhauls, with costs calculated based on vehicle price and wear severity.

Dynamic Wear Simulation:

Wear is not simply based on operating hours. A mechanical stress model ensures that sustained high-load operation causes disproportionately higher wear. Two identical tractors with the same operating hours can therefore have completely different mechanical conditions.

Carbon Buildup:

Simulated separately – low-load and idle operation increase buildup, while sustained higher load gradually reduces it.

Persistent Vehicle Condition:

All mechanical data is saved with the vehicle. Your machines develop their own mechanical history throughout your savegame.

In-Game HUD:

A dedicated mechanical HUD displays the vehicle's condition and can be switched between different display modes.

Difficulty:

Wear difficulty can be adjusted in-game – from relaxed to demanding.

Compatibility:

The mod automatically attaches to motorized vehicles and works with tractors, harvesters, trucks and other motorized vehicles without modifying original vehicle files.

Keyboard Controls:

F2 – Toggle Mechanical HUD
F3 – Open Maintenance Panel
F4 – Decrease Wear Difficulty
F5 – Increase Wear Difficulty
F6 – Jump Start
END – Select next maintenance item
DELETE – Confirm selected maintenance action

Recommended for players who enjoy realistic farming, machinery management and long-term vehicle ownership.
