Unit Converter

Tired of doing mental math every time your grain tank fills up? This mod converts FS25's metric readouts into the units American farmers actually use — bushels, US gallons, short tons, and pounds — right in the base game HUD. No new overlays, no clutter. The same bars and panels you already know, just showing numbers that make sense.

What gets converted

Grain in bushels — with real test weights. Every crop uses its actual USDA weight per bushel: corn at 56 lbs, wheat and soybeans at 60, barley at 48, oats at 32, canola at 50, sunflowers at 25, and so on. A tank of corn and a tank of oats convert differently, exactly like they would at the elevator.

Fluids in US gallons. Diesel, DEF, milk, water, liquid manure, liquid fertilizer, herbicide — all of it.

Everything you'd weigh, in short tons or pounds. Hay, straw, grass, silage, chaff, dry fertilizer, lime, manure, sugar beets, potatoes, cotton, wood chips, stone, and other bulk goods convert by weight instead of pretending they're measured in bushels.

Where it shows up

- Vehicle fill level bars, including while harvesting

- The bar for the trailer or wagon you're unloading into

- Overloading and dumping progress bars

- Bale info panels (both the fill amount and the mass)

- Silo, grain bin, and production point info panels

- The vehicle info box (fuel, fill levels)

Settings

Everything lives in a Unit Converter section right inside Game Settings — no separate menu to learn. Master on/off toggle, plus independent unit choices for weight (short tons / pounds / metric tonnes), grain (bushels / gallons / liters), and fluids (gallons / liters). Your choices save automatically and carry across every savegame.

Hotkeys if you like switching on the fly:

- Ctrl+U— toggle the mod on/off

- Ctrl+W — cycle weight unit

- Ctrl+B — cycle grain unit

- Ctrl+F — cycle fluid unit

All rebindable in the Controls menu.

Good to know

- The mod only rewrites display text. It never touches actual fill levels, capacities, prices, or game logic — turn it off and everything is instantly stock.

- Fill type icons, bar colors, and layout are untouched.

- Multiplayer supported.

- Precision Farming: soil and yield value conversion is in active development — see the devlog for current status.

If you run into something still showing metric where it shouldn't, drop a comment in my Discord server in #bugs with a screenshot and your log.txt and I'll hunt it down.
