Cold Start – Realistic Engine Behaviour v 1.0

Adds realistic cold start mechanics and dynamic engine temperatures to Farming Simulator 25.

Vehicles now start at the current ambient temperature, warm up during use, and retain heat after shutdown. Cold engines perform differently to fully warmed machines, adding more depth and realism to everyday gameplay without becoming frustrating.

Features
Ambient temperature-based starts
Dynamic engine warm-up system
Heat retention after shutdown
Reduced performance while cold
Stall risk if pushed too hard when cold
Weather-sensitive behaviour
Multiplayer compatible

How It Works,
Cold engines need time to reach operating temperature before delivering full performance.
Machines that have recently been used stay warmer after shutdown, making later restarts easier and more realistic.
Cold mornings feel harsher, while warmer weather makes starting and running machinery easier.

Compatibility
Works with motorized vehicles.
Designed for both singleplayer and multiplayer. This mod is a WIP and will be updated as we go along. It has passed the initial testing phase.
