This mod was inspired by a suggestion from `Cyclonit#7350`.
Consider using the mod [Gardener Toolkit](https://ficsit.app/mod/GardenerTools) to selectively restore foliage that may have been removed before you found this mod.

Usage
By default, the mod will set the scale of the plant destruction colliders of all vehicles to 0,
meaning that they will no longer destroy plants (and nuts and berries) when you drive over them
unless you are directly on top of them.
You can modify this in the [mod savegame settings](https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/ForUsers/ConfiguringMods.html#_mod_savegame_settings).
The value you control is a multiplier to the size of the base game's collider for the vehicle,
so the resulting plant destruction radius differs depending on the vehicle.
For example, the Explorer's base-game range is 1.0 scale on a box of 300.0 x 200.0 x 125.0 centimeters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plant Safe Vehicles not working after update – what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Plant Safe Vehicles has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.
Plant Safe Vehicles causing crashes in multiplayer – solution
Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Plant Safe Vehicles v1.2.2 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Plant Safe Vehicles compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Plant Safe Vehicles uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
