Fresh adds shelf life to your products - crops age over time and will spoil if not sold or used!
Fresh brings perishable products to Farming Simulator 25. Your harvested crops, processed goods, and baled forage now have realistic shelf lives. Fresh vegetables spoil quickly, while canned products and grains last much longer. Bales of grass spoil within days, while silage stays fresh for months. Plan your logistics carefully - leave produce or bales sitting too long and they will expire and be lost! Customize shelf lives to match your playstyle via the in-game Settings menu.
Vanilla FS25 lets you stockpile products indefinitely, waiting for the perfect price. Fresh changes the game:
- Strategic timing: Sell before products expire or lose everything
- Active management: Check ages, track losses, prioritize older stock
- Realistic farming: Real farms don't have infinite shelf life
- Your rules: Customize expiration times to match your playstyle
Fresh tracks your products using a batch system - each harvest or production run is tracked separately with its own age. Oldest stock expires first, just like real inventory management.
