Cold Start – Realistic Engine Behaviour

Adds realistic cold start mechanics and dynamic engine temperatures to Farming Simulator 25.

Vehicles now start at the current ambient temperature, warm up during use, and retain heat after shutdown. Cold engines perform differently to fully warmed machines, adding more depth and realism to everyday gameplay without becoming frustrating.

Features

Ambient temperature-based starts

Dynamic engine warm-up system

Heat retention after shutdown

Reduced performance while cold

Stall risk if pushed too hard when cold

Weather-sensitive behaviour

Multiplayer compatible

How It Works,
Cold engines need time to reach operating temperature before delivering full performance.

Machines that have recently been used stay warmer after shutdown, making later restarts easier and more realistic.

Cold mornings feel harsher, while warmer weather makes starting and running machinery easier.

Compatibility

Works with motorized vehicles.
Designed for both singleplayer and multiplayer. This mod is a WIP and will be updated as we go along. It has passed the initial testing phase.
