Mud on the Road

This gameplay mod simulates dynamic mud on roads, yards, and paths. Mud is only created when it actually sticks to the tyres after fieldwork, while clean or washed tyres leave no marks.

• Dynamic dirt: Muddy vehicles leave visible smears, tyre trails, and clumps of mud. The trails follow the steering angle as the tyres gradually become cleaner.
• Accumulation: Existing mud is refreshed, compacted, and carried further whenever it is driven over. The amount depends on the soil type, fieldwork, and weather. Vehicles can optionally transfer mud from roads onto clean tyres as well.
• Cleaning: Rain washes mud from roads, while dry weather makes it fade naturally. Road sweepers and buckets fitted to front loaders, telehandlers, and wheel loaders can collect the mud.
• Road monitoring: The PDA map and minimap display mud on paved roads as red lines. Optional warnings and fines can be enabled for heavy road contamination.
• Vehicle and multiplayer support: The mod works with all wheeled vehicles and trailers, including AI vehicles and helpers. Mud is saved in the game save and multiplayer mode is supported.

Extra content: A universal sweeper attachment for telehandlers and a foldable “Mud on road” warning sign are available in the shop.

Customisation: An XML file provides control over drying times, contamination, map display, soil colours, and fines. Additional console commands can be used to clean, inspect, and toggle the mud system.
