FAQ

Console support (XBOX/PS)?

No, script mods are not available on consoles.

Does this mod add any filltypes?

No.

Can I use configurations from older versions?

No, but the process of creating configurations are now much easier.

Is TerraFarm coming to FS25?

Yes, work on FS25 version will start when FS25 is released.

Known issues

On client side in multiplayer tire tracks doesn't disappear when terraforming the landscape. This is because the game does not sync tire tracks in multiplayer. I may be able to fix this in a later version, but for now this is a very low prioritized visual bug.

Translations

If anyone is interested in adding more translations to the mod, create a new issue with translation file(s) and I will add them :-)
