  FS25 Farm Dashboard — itch.io DESCRIPTION (itch-safe HTML)

  itch.io strips most inline CSS on divs (backgrounds, flex, table layout, shadows).
  This version uses only tags that survive the sanitizer: h2, h3, p, strong, em, a,
  ul, ol, li, hr, figure, figcaption, img, dl, dt, dd, code, details, summary, mark.

  HOW TO USE
  1. Edit project → Description → <> HTML mode.
  2. Paste from the first <p> below through the footer <p> (keep a backup copy here).
  3. Do NOT switch back to rich-text mode — it may rewrite your markup.
  4. Cover image + screenshots column: set separately in itch Edit project (not in HTML).

  Images: GitHub raw on WizardlyPayload/FarmHub main (push before publishing).

<h2><strong>⬡ FS25 Farm Management Dashboard</strong></h2>

<p>Your fields, fleet, livestock, economy, and productions — in one dashboard that updates while you play. A lightweight <strong>in-game mod</strong> exports live data; a <strong>Windows desktop app</strong> serves the UI in your browser at <code>localhost:8766</code>.</p>

<p><strong>App 4.2.1</strong> · <strong>Mod 3.4.0.7</strong> · 27 languages · local saves, dedicated <strong>join as client</strong> (no FTP), or <strong>FTP</strong> (Advanced)</p>

<p><strong><span style="color:#b8860b">Hotfix for Farming Simulator 1.21:</span></strong> after the game’s 1.21 update, the mod could fill the game log with repeated copyFile errors while saving a map overview image. <strong>4.2.1 / 3.4.0.7</strong> uses the correct yes/no flag and stops retrying forever. This is noisy logs / a map-overview hiccup — not a broken game. <strong>How to update:</strong> close the app and FS25 → download the new Setup + <code>FS25_FarmDashboard.zip</code> → replace the app and the mod in <code>Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\mods\</code> → load the save → start the app. Dedicated hosts: replace the mod on the server, restart, then update clients.</p>

<h2>How it works</h2>

<ol>
  <li>The <strong>mod</strong> writes live farm data to <code>data.json</code> from your save (SP, MP host, or dedicated).</li>
  <li>On a <strong>dedicated</strong> host you can <strong>join as a client</strong> with the same mod — the authority mirrors the export to that PC’s local <code>data.json</code> so the app uses <strong>Local</strong> mode (<strong>no FTP</strong>). <strong>FTP</strong> remains for headless-only admins.</li>
  <li>The <strong>Windows app</strong> merges the Lua export with savegame XML when available — a real dashboard, not a static page.</li>
  <li>Open <strong>http://localhost:8766</strong> on a second monitor, tablet (LAN), or phone on your Wi‑Fi.</li>
</ol>

<h2>Quick start</h2>

<ol>
  <li>Download <strong>FS25_FarmDashboard.zip</strong> and <strong>FS25-Farm-Dashboard-Setup-4.2.1.exe</strong> from <a href="https://wizardlypayload.itch.io/farm-dashobaord-fs25">itch.io</a> (recommended) or <a href="https://github.com/WizardlyPayload/FarmHub/releases">GitHub Releases</a> → enable the mod on your save.</li>
  <li>Load the save <strong>once in-game</strong> so the mod creates <code>data.json</code>.</li>
  <li>Install and run <strong>FS25-Farm-Dashboard-Setup-4.2.1.exe</strong> from the same download page.</li>
  <li>Open the dashboard; point <strong>Settings → Servers</strong> at your save path. Dedicated: prefer join-as-client + Local, or FTP if headless — see Installation instructions below.</li>
</ol>

<p><em>Full step-by-step install guide is in the <strong>Installation instructions</strong> section below the description on this page.</em></p>
