Crop Diseases adds a complete system of diseases and pests for crops to the game. Fields can now become infested depending on crop condition, soil management, moisture, weeds, stubble and growth stage. Threats develop in levels: low, medium and high. If the field is neglected, the disease or pests will begin to spread more and reduce the potential yield.
The mod has a separate tab on the map, a threat layer on the minimap, HUD information on the field, saving infected zones and multiplayer support.
