FS25 Automatic Pipe Light

A script mod for Farming Simulator 25 that automates the discharge pipe light.

How the script works

• When the player-controlled vehicle begins to unfold the pipe at night, the mod turns the pipe’s light on once.
• When the pipe begins to fold up, the mod turns the pipe’s light off once.
• If the pipe remains extended until nightfall, the light will also be automatically switched on.
• At dawn, the mod removes only the light it previously switched on itself.
• The mod does not force the light state on every frame. After the automatic change, the player can toggle the vehicle’s lights as normal.
• The specialisation is applied globally to all vehicle types that have both Pipe and Lights.
• This includes compatible combine harvesters, root crop harvesters and auger wagons.
• Multiplayer is disabled in this version; the mod is designed for single-player gameplay.

Detection of pipe light

The script attempts the following in order:

1. to find a light type used exclusively by lamps located on pipe nodes,
2. to find a custom light type (4 or higher) placed on a pipe,
3. to use LightType 4 as a fallback if the vehicle has that light type.

The detection takes into account both Pipe nodes and nodes participating in the pipe animation. There is also a cautious fallback based on node names (pipe, unload) for unusually constructed vehicle mods.

Installation

Copy the file FS25_AutoPipeLight.zip to the following directory:

Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025/mods/

Then select the mod when starting a new game.

Diagnostics

If a particular machine is not responding correctly, in the file scripts/AutoPipeLight.lua, change:

AutoPipeLight.DEBUG = false

to:

AutoPipeLight.DEBUG = true

Once the game has started, the detected pipe light mask and the detection method will appear in log.txt.

If the vehicle has an unusual headlight configuration, you can also change the constant:

AutoPipeLight.FALLBACK_LIGHT_TYPE = 4
