This mod simulates realistic mud smears and flying clods on tires after field work. The system ensures only dirty tires leave a trail, which fades over several hundred meters as the wheels clean themselves. Driving speed affects the distance mud is flung, and steering input determines the direction of the smears in corners.
In-game cleanup options include heavy rain washing away mud in five in-game hours or sunny weather drying it up in three days. Players can also manually remove mud using active sweeper brushes or loader buckets, with scraped material depositing as manure or dirt depending on other installed mods. The feature works on all vehicles, trailers, and AI helpers.
Mud state is saved with the game and imposes no lag penalty in multiplayer sessions. A console command is available for testing purposes. The mod also includes a classic UK-style 'Mud on Road' A-frame sign, costing 25 in the decoration shop. Configuration file settings allow adjustment of mud persistence duration and fling distance.
