Release 3.0.1.2 (March 27, 2026):

Bug fixes and improvements:

fixed an issue with active unloading of harvesters

fixed an issue with loading seeds and fertilizer on seeders

fixed an issue with loading more than one trailer

improved detection of harvested and withered crops (especially root crops)

the mouse cursor will be automatically shown/hidden when opening/closing the AD-HUD

settings for lights and rotating beacons are now vehicle-specific again

if the "If silo empty" option is set to "Drive on" a few loading attempts will still be made before the process continues

Release 3.0.1.0 (05.03.2026):

Bugfixes and improvements:

Traffic detection: Due to asynchronous traffic checks along the route, nearby vehicles could sometimes get stuck unintentionally. This should now be avoided by synchronous checks.
no automatic repair: for long-running jobs, there was no check for automatic repair.
loading task: continue if small amount was loaded and setting for continue on empty silo is active
loading task: consider unload level while loading in reverse driving, i.e. filling multiple bigbags into seeders/spreader/trailer
extended the AD color assignments to header and background of the HUD and the destination text color
automatic connection in editor mode in MP, except for secondary dual routes (key combination too similar to deleting route sections)
support for the bunker silo from the Highlands Fishing DLC
collision detection: the vehicle height was set to at least 5 m to avoid collisions and prevent it from getting stuck in trees
pop-up message added when a vehicle gets stuck while driving
it was possible to manipulate Waypoints underneath the AI screen when edit mode was active
when using the MacDon swath pick-up for threshers, active driving did not work

Extension of the “right of way rule” to all waypoints that have at least 3 connections:

if several vehicles pass a common waypoint but approach from different directions, priority (right of way) is granted.
wait for 4 waypoints before the intersection point and release the intersection point again after 4 points
on two-way routes, priority is proactively granted along the entire two-way route (as before)
intersection waypoints that are eligible for this regulation are displayed in light blue instead of red

disable mouse pointer when a player leaves a vehicle #143
AD drivers now ignore the FS automatic engine start setting #280
UAL does not unload when the destination points for unloading are rotated
using trains with AD leads to LUA errors #262
refueling via key combination fills trailers (diesel) #320
synchronization issue in MP #347
tailgating AI traffic #398
issue with unknown “specialization” #405
bales are not unloaded before AD departs #291
optimization of combine unloader with regard to leaving fruit
saving vehicle settings and restoring them in another vehicle does not work #412
less messages from AD in MP:
- if a player is in the vehicle, they are displayed with ‘X’ but not for all other players
- if no player is in the vehicle, they are displayed with ‘->’ and ‘X’ for all players in the same farm
- notifications for vehicles in which no player is seated but which belong to another farm are not displayed at all
optimization of steering behavior and collision detection:
- "Look ahead distance (turn)" removed, now determined by the vehicle
- collision detection now follows the steering better
- curves are driven more smoothly (course adjustments may be necessary)

AD target point display #243
- users can choose whether AD target points should be displayed on the helper map in the main menu, on the mini-map in the game, on both maps, or on none of them
editing the route network is now possible in the “Landscaping” construction menu #101:
- player must be seated in a vehicle
- the HUD will not be displayed
- editing is only possible using mouse and keyboard shortcuts
unload side adjustable in harvesters (only applies to harvesters with movable unloading pipes, such as choppers) #313
UAL fill types can be selected in AD (see wiki entry) #249 #316
Consecutive drive-through silos:
- two or more drive-through silos in a row are treated as a single silo
- the unloading speed is calculated accordingly to ensure that unloading takes place over the entire length of two or more separate drive-through silos
- drive-through silos in a row must have the same width, but the length may vary
- the areas of drive-through silos can be displayed using an assigned key combination (FS key assignment "AD: developer action")
