FS25_FieldToDoList

To-Do and field work list for Farming Simulator 25 — track your own tasks, see what to do next on each owned field, optional Precision Farming and Seasonal Crop Stress columns.

Author: Christian Möllmann (knoellix)
License: GNU GPL v3
Version: 0.1.0.4 (pre-release)

Features

• ESC menu (dedicated tab): manual to-dos on the left, owned fields with crop status and suggested work on the right
• In-world HUD: Left Ctrl + F5 — compact list of open tasks (top right, up to 5 entries)
• Work order: presets (e.g. plow → lime → sow → fertilize) and alternating manure/slurry for organic multi-pass spreading
• Field workflow: adopt suggestions, visit field (teleport), auto-complete when the game detects the job is done
• List order: Hoch / Runter mini buttons (^ / v) move the selected task (no drag-and-drop in the Giants UI)
• Done behavior: completed tasks are grouped below open tasks; newly completed go to the top of the done group; max 10 completed (oldest pruned)
• Selection UX: after move, the moved task stays selected; after delete, selection is cleared
• Harvest hints: field suggestion column shows month labels instead of ambiguous month counts
• Save data: fieldToDoList.xml in the savegame folder (tasks debounced ~2 s after edits; settings saved immediately)
• Field status: live ground/crop readout from the game (the mod does not read fields.xml at runtime — safer on Proton/Linux)
• Grass meadows: mow when ready; post-mow hints for swath/collect/bale; avoids suggesting sow on grass

Optional mods

Mod	Status
FS25_precisionFarming	Supported — pH / nitrogen columns when PF is loaded
FS25_SeasonalCropStress	Partial / limited — moisture and stress columns may show - or loading; no full runtime integration yet

Works fully without add-ons using base game field data.

Installation

1. Download FS25_FieldToDoList.zip from the latest release.
2. Copy the ZIP (do not extract) to your mods folder:

Platform	Path
Windows	%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\mods\
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2025/mods/
Linux (Steam / Proton)	~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2300320/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025/mods/

3. Enable Field To-Do List in the in-game mod manager.
4. Load any career save — the mod activates automatically on load.
5. Restart the game completely after installing or updating the mod.

Development

Build from source and install to your local mods folder:

python3 tools/generate_assets.py   # optional if DDS assets are missing
./build.sh

Default target (Linux Steam/Proton): ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2300320/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025/mods/FS25_FieldToDoList.zip

Custom target:

FS25_MODS_DIR=/path/to/mods ./build.sh

Debug (field advisor)

Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux (including Steam/Proton). Use when a field shows wrong crop, harvest month, or grass logistics in the overview.

Input	Action
F9 or Left Ctrl + F9	Open Giants dev console, or mod fallback dialog if console is unavailable
ftdlHelp	List mod debug commands
ftdlDump 63	Dump one field (replace 63 with field ID) to log.txt
ftdlFruits	Dump fruit types and harvest growth states
ftdlAll	Dump all owned fields

Log file (log.txt in your FS25 user folder):

Platform	Path
Windows	%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\log.txt
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/FarmingSimulator2025/log.txt
Linux (Steam / Proton)	~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2300320/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025/log.txt

Search for [FS25_FieldToDoList] DUMP. Useful lines: meadowPhase, grassResidue, grassCrossScan, heightReader, harvestState.

Example:

ftdlDump 63

No auto-dump on menu open — commands are manual only.

Current Work In Progress

• Grass swath → collect/bale suggestions still being tuned on some maps (especially Proton without DensityMapHeightUtil).
• Auto-completion is still work in progress and needs broader real-save testing.
