# FS25_AdvancedDamageSystem
▶️ Watch ADS Feature Showcase on YouTube
Advanced Damage System is a mod that completely reworks the standard vehicle damage and maintenance system in Farming Simulator 25. A machine's reliability now depends directly on how carefully and efficiently you use it: the harder you push your equipment and the worse you maintain it, the more often it will break down.
Forget about one-click repairs. Maintenance now takes time, resources, and proper planning. You will need to manage wear, schedule repairs in advance, and organize your fleet so that breakdowns do not ruin the season.

# Quick Start
If you do not want to read the full guide at the bottom of this page but still want to play with ADS without constant breakdowns and unnecessary frustration, just follow these three rules:
1. **Always follow the service interval.** 
 By default, the recommended interval is about `5 operating hours` on average. You can check it:
 - in the workshop,
 - in the vehicle info panel when looking at the machine,
 - in the ADS fleet management menu opened with the `P` key. 
 Once the interval is reached, perform the `Maintenance` procedure in the workshop.
2. **Inspect and prepare your machines every day.** 
 Perform a daily inspection (hold `R` key) and basic pre-shift maintenance. Clean the vehicle with the `Air Blowe
