GIANTS Software has closed out a busy fortnight for Farming Simulator 25: the paid SKY Agriculture Pack dropped on June 30, 2026, following the free Emergency Pack on June 25 and Patch 1.20 on June 23. For anyone running a dedicated FS25 server, this cluster of releases changes what you push to your community and how you plan the next maintenance window.
Release Date
- SKY Agriculture Pack (paid DLC): June 30, 2026
- Emergency Pack (free DLC): June 25, 2026
- Patch 1.20 (base game): June 23, 2026
All three landed on PC and consoles. Crossplay lobbies may see slower rollout while platforms finish their patch propagation, which is worth knowing before you announce a server-wide update to your players.
What's in the SKY Agriculture Pack
SKY Agriculture joins the FS25 lineup with 12 implements for seeding, fertilization, and soil cultivation. The full roster:
Soil preparation:
- HR 300 (3 m)
- HR 300 (4 m)
- HRW 6000.36
- Methys HDS
Seeding:
- Easydrill P250
- P100
- Progress P50
- Progress P100
- Progress TF
- Sonic PPF 300/12
Fertilization:
- Falcon T 240 (trailed)
- X50+ Econov (mounted)
The Methys HDS is the flexible one: seedbed prep, stubble cultivation, and cover crop seeding when you pair it with a front tank. The Progress TF is worth calling out for its front-hopper design and the option to fit a front packer with two large-diameter wheels.
New Dirt Accumulation and Physics
This pack is not just a machine dump. GIANTS added dirt accumulation and revised animations that apply to the SKY implements: wheels react to gravity more visibly, arms feel heavier while unfolding, and ground tools collect real muck that shakes off as the machine folds back up.
If you run any visual-fidelity mods on your server, expect a first-launch shader recompile the first time a client joins after updating. Warn your players so nobody thinks their FPS has cratered.
Free Emergency Pack: Fire Trucks and Rescue Missions
Released five days earlier and completely free, the Emergency Pack from Creative Mesh adds 10 emergency situations across four scenarios: burning pallets, containers, bales and fields, roadway obstructions, oil spills, technical rescue after car crashes, and the traditional cat-in-a-tree call.
Two authentic Schlingmann fire trucks come with it: the HLF20 and TLF3000. Both are drivable, both let you fight fires by hand or from the vehicle, and both seat up to nine firefighters in multiplayer. That is a genuinely useful data point for server admins: an emergency mission with a full HLF20 crew can eat nine of your player slots in one vehicle, so if you run a small server, plan slot counts and vehicle spawn logic accordingly.
Patch 1.20 for Farming Simulator 25
Patch 1.20 arrived quietly two days before the Emergency Pack. The headline changes:
- Parade Ready design configuration added to the Case IH Quadtrac 715
- Multiplayer wheel-rotation jitter fixed when server FPS exceeds 60
- PTO RPM requirements reduced for various harvester headers
- John Deere 6M Series (95-125) engine configurations updated
- Fence 06 gate trigger width fixed
- Visual jittering beneath large water planes fixed
- Baler wrapping arm sound volume corrected
- Minor visual polish across several models
The Vredo pack (1.1.0.0) also picked up a wildlife feeding fix and better Polish translations.
What This Means for Your Server
A few practical notes if you host FS25:
- DLCs install on both server and client. SKY Agriculture is paid, so every player who joins a server running it needs the DLC in their own Steam library, otherwise the machines will not appear for them. The Emergency Pack is free, which removes that friction, but the install still has to happen on both sides.
- Steam install path: on a dedicated server run through SteamCMD, DLCs are pulled the next time you run
app_update 2300320 validateafter they release on Steam. Restart the server process after the update completes to pick up new item registrations. - Patch 1.20's multiplayer wheel-jitter fix is real, and it matters. If your server was previously running above 60 FPS on the tick loop, clients would see wheels spinning erratically. That is now gone, but it means players who were used to the visual "server strain" cue will not see it anymore. Watch your monitoring instead.
- Shader recompile spike on first join after any large update. Not a bug, but the CPU pinning during that first-join compile can push a small VPS to 100 percent briefly.
- Mod audit is due. If you run visual mods that add their own dirt or animation systems, test them against the SKY implements on a staging world before you push to your main server. Any physics-hooking mod is worth a smoke test after a patch this size.
Verdict: Worth Coming Back For?
The Emergency Pack alone is a reason to spin the server back up: a free 10-mission side loop with real vehicles and multiplayer seating is a clean W. The SKY pack is more niche but the physics work carries beyond it, and Patch 1.20's multiplayer fix is the kind of quality-of-life improvement that quietly improves every session. If your community stopped playing after the John Deere update in May, this is a good excuse to rally them again.
