Farming Simulator 25 has received Update 1.24 (Build 1.410.000), officially designated as Free Content Update 7. The release introduces the Spanish manufacturer SOLÀ to the franchise alongside new vehicles and critical security adjustments for the modding community.

Players on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S can now access the new content, though GIANTS Software warns that initial performance may be affected by shader recompilation. This technical process occurs during the first launch after the update and may cause temporary stuttering while the game optimizes visual assets for the current hardware configuration.

New Vehicles and Equipment

The primary addition in Free Content Update 7 is the debut of the SOLÀ brand, expanding the specialized machinery available for seeding and soil preparation. The update includes the following machines and vehicles:

• SOLÀ Velox 300/12: A specialized seeder for precise field operations.
• SOLÀ AURA 2000: High-capacity agricultural equipment.
• Merlo EW 25.5: A versatile telehandler for farm logistics.
• Skoda Fabia: A new passenger vehicle option for navigating the map.

Technical and Visual Improvements

Beyond the new equipment, the patch implements visual refinements to environmental effects. Rain visuals have been adjusted to scale more accurately when vehicles travel at high speeds, providing a more consistent aesthetic during stormy weather.

The Straw Harvest Pack has also received a specific update (version 1.2.0.0) as part of this release. This update focuses on control accessibility by adding hall crane bindings for joysticks and side panels, allowing players using dedicated sim-racing or flight-stick hardware to operate warehouse machinery more naturally.

Modding Security and API Changes

GIANTS Software has introduced significant changes to the game’s modding backend to enhance security. The Lua loadstring function has been disabled to prevent the execution of potentially malicious scripts within third-party mods. This move is part of a broader effort to tighten modding safety standards.

Additionally, the developer has issued a warning regarding the getUniqueUserId() function. While still functional in this build, a warning is now present in the API to signal its future removal. Modders are encouraged to transition away from this function in upcoming projects. Detailed technical changes can be reviewed on the official Farming Simulator changelog.
