LS25 Implement Maintenance V1.0.0.0
LS25 Implement Maintenance V1.0.0.0
Does your seeder work a thousand hours without anyone changing a bearing or adding grease? No real machine can withstand that.
This mod introduces realistic implement maintenance: machines require lubrication, wear through use, can break if neglected, and must be repaired using spare parts, time, and money.
It works automatically with ANY towed or non-motorized implement from the base game or other mods, detecting its components. No configuration required.
REAL LUBRICATION
Use a grease gun with standard or premium lithium EP2 grease. Premium grease provides longer lubrication intervals.
Lubrication is based on actual working hours. Long-term storage can also require lubrication before returning to service.
WEAR BY SYSTEM
Four individual systems are simulated:
Wear Parts
Bearings and Transmission
Hydraulic Circuits
Wheels/Tires
Each has its own lifespan. Wear progresses through operation and increases faster when the machine is dirty or lubrication has expired. Condition also affects normal machine wear and resale value.
REAL BREAKDOWNS
Machines can suffer minor, serious, or critical failures. Depending on the failed component, an implement may stop working, fail to lower or deploy, operate at reduced speed, or become immobilized.
The more worn the machine, the greater the risk of failure.
FIELD REPAIRS
A toolbox allows temporary emergency repairs of serious failures in the field, letting you continue working with limitations. Critical failures require a workshop.
YOUR OWN WORKSHOP
Place a workbench with a service bay on your farm for diagnosis and repairs.
Repairs can use STANDARD or faster EXPRESS service and take from hours to several days. Repairing a failure does not remove the machine’s existing wear.
PHYSICAL SPARE PARTS
Diagnosis displays operating hours, wear of all four systems and required spare parts.
Servicing requires physical wear, bearing, hydraulic or tire kits. A complete service history is stored for every machine.
OEM OR AFTERMARKET
Replacement parts are available as OEM or aftermarket. Aftermarket parts are cheaper but have shorter lifespans and may have a greater risk of premature failure.
SUPPLIER PORTAL
Use the ordering computer to purchase spare parts and select their quality and quantity. Delivery takes several days, with parts physically delivered for use in your workshop.
