Fs22 Expendables Modding May 2026
Welcome to the dark side of farming. You’ve spent years carefully managing crop rotation, diligently repairing tractors, and driving 15 mph in a potato harvester.
That ends now.
The "Expendables" style of modding is about breaking the game in the most fun way possible. It’s about 10,000 horsepower, $1 equipment prices, and maps that make no geographical sense. It is the modding equivalent of a Michael Bay movie.
Here is how to build your own Expendables save file.
For the player to utilize the expendable, the resource must be visible. The FillUnit class automatically handles HUD display if showOnHud="true" is set in the XML. However, custom warnings (e.g., "Low Ammo") require hooking into the drawUI function.
Modders should utilize the g_currentMission:addExtraPrintText function to display context-sensitive warnings when the fill level drops below a threshold (e.g., 15%). fs22 expendables modding
Expendables Modding is widely regarded as one of the premier North American-focused modding groups for Farming Simulator 22 (FS22)
. They specialize in high-quality, highly customizable vehicles and equipment, often focusing on heavy-duty American trucks and trailers that provide a more rugged aesthetic than standard base-game machinery. Key Mod Features
The group's mods are known for their deep customization options and attention to detail:
Customization: Many of their releases, such as the EXP22 W900 V3, include extensive color selections, various sleeper cab options, and unique part additions like "wet kits" and air ride controls.
Unique Functionality: They often integrate features like autoloading for trailers (e.g., the Vanguard Reefer) and custom lighting or strobe patterns for service vehicles. Welcome to the dark side of farming
American Style: They fill a specific niche for players seeking authentic North American farm and vocational equipment, including modified versions of Kenworth trucks, Dodge police chargers, and specialized agricultural implements. Where to Find Them
Expendables Modding primarily distributes their work through community-focused platforms rather than just the official in-game ModHub:
Facebook Group: Their official Facebook Group is the central hub for news, support, and direct community interaction.
Itch.io: For direct downloads, the lead modder ExpendableDirk's Itch.io page hosts many of their high-fidelity releases, including the popular W900 series.
ModHub: Some of their more generalized or refined mods occasionally appear on the official Giants ModHub, making them accessible for console players, though their most detailed "custom" versions are typically PC-exclusive. Community Reputation For the player to utilize the expendable, the
The group is "very well respected" within the FS community for their dedication to quality and for providing mods that "strive to be the best for the community". While some of their more complex mods are hosted on external sites like Itch.io, they are generally considered safe and reliable by the "power-user" modding community.
Since "fs22" refers to Farming Simulator 22, and "expendables" in the context of modding usually refers to consumable resources (items that deplete upon use, such as bale wrappers, sprayer refills, or custom scripts for ammunition/fuel), I have drafted a technical paper regarding the implementation and scripting of expendable resources within the LS22 engine.
If you instead meant modding based on The Expendables movie franchise (e.g., adding action-movie elements or characters), please let me know, and I can revise the document.
Below is a technical overview paper regarding the creation of expendable systems in Farming Simulator 22.
Installation is standard for FS22, but expendables mods require special attention to scripting permissions.
