Repeated vehicle traffic wears visible wheel paths through wild grass, planted grass fields, and decorative ground foliage. Wild grass and decorative foliage outside fields use Grass Wear Passes. Repeated traffic can develop dirt tracks; hard surfaces such as asphalt and concrete are excluded. Base Game mode leaves field destruction to FS25. Meadow Trails mode uses Crop Destruction Passes for field crops, including planted grass, on owned and unowned land. Both pass settings range from 1 to 5; default: 4. Grass fields retain their field ground type. Settings in ESC > Game Settings: - Grass Wear Passes - Crop Destruction: Base Game / Meadow Trails - Crop Destruction Passes - Trail Recovery Time - Tire Tread Marks: On / Off Trail recovery defaults to 3 in-game months without traffic. Options: Off, 1 Day, 1 Month, 2 Months, or 3 Months. Only originally removed vegetation returns in saved patches. Changed field ground or a different crop cancels recovery. Meadow Trails crop damage recovers over 3 months. Tire Tread Marks strengthens native tread marks on worn grass paths and grass fields using each wheel's existing texture. Enable tire tracks in graphics settings; the game controls their lifetime. Wear and recovery history are saved. Ctrl+Shift+M opens the Protected Areas editor (rebindable). Draw and name boundaries from above, move or remove points, rename/delete areas, undo, and Save & Close. Up to 64 areas with 128 points each are saved per game. Protected boundaries stop Meadow Trails wear, dirt painting, crop damage, enhanced tread marks and mod recovery writes. Existing damage is not erased. Base Game crop destruction mode still follows FS25 settings; normal game tire tracks and farming tools remain active.
