Hey everyone,
I’m playing FS25 and my current ModMap (Pallegney) save has a ton of additional crop types that show up on almost every modded map, things like triticale, rye, spelt, winter wheat, summer barley, green rye, mustard, clover, alfalfa, and many more.

I understand the real-life differences between these crops, but I’m not sure how much of that actually matters in the game. So far, I haven’t found any official documentation or a complete list that explains what each of these “extra fruits” actually does in FS25.

My questions:

• Do these crops have any real gameplay differences compared to base-game wheat/barley/oats/etc?
• Are there unique advantages (yield, price, growth calendar, straw amount, animal feed value)?
• Or are most of them basically reskinned versions of existing crops unless the map creator adds special mechanics?
• Are crops like clover or alfalfa actually better for animal feed on certain maps?
• Is there any central resource (wiki, spreadsheet, mod list, Reddit post) that explains all these extra fruit types?

I’d love to understand what I’m planting instead of just guessing.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I’ve been hosting a lot of Meccha Chameleon lately and wanted to ask the community what you think are the best and most balanced host settings.

I’m trying to find a setup that keeps the game fair, fun, and not overly frustrating for either sides.
What settings do you usually run, and what has worked best for you?

I’m especially curious about your thoughts on:

• Player Limit — when does it feel too crowded or too empty
• Infection Mode — do you keep it on or off
• Auto Whistle — helpful or annoying
• Paint Time — what duration feels balanced
• Round Length — short, medium, or long
• Special Rules — any house rules you recommend

Would love to hear your setups whether competitive, casual, or just for fun.

Thanks in advance!
