When logging in FS25, it often happens that after cutting down a tree there is a stump left and it does not want to be removed with a stump removal tool.

A stump that cannot be removed even with the right equipment becomes a real problem, especially if it blocks the area for building or expanding the farm. This is a fairly common bug that occurs quite often. Therefore, here we will look at the causes of the stump uprooting bug in Farming Simulator 25, as well as learn how to fix them.

The nature of the problem

When cutting down trees, stumps are left behind, which must be removed to free up land for construction or other needs. However, in some cases the stumps are not removed, even with specialized equipment.

This causes not only visual inconvenience, but also gameplay problems, as these stumps create a collision, preventing you from placing objects or processing the field.

Symptoms of the bug include:

• Lack of stump removal animation when using the Rooter.

• Inability to build anything at the location where the stump is located.

• “Object is overlapped by another object” error when trying to place a structure.

• Proven stump removal equipment

Removing stumps is an important part of forestry work to clear the area for further operations. In Farming Simulator 25, this task requires the use of specialized equipment. However, even with the right equipment, there are problems when removing the remains of large trees. Let's understand what equipment to choose and how to effectively deal with stumps.

There are several types of uprooters available in the game that are designed for stump removal:

1. Mini Loader Rooter

• Mounted on a mini loader and used for small tasks.

2. Mulchers from the forestry section

• These devices remove bushes and stumps, offering versatile functions for logging.

3. three-point attachment mounted grubber

• Attaches to the tractor and is used to deal with large stumps.

However, even when using these devices, players report the inability to remove some stumps, especially if they are left after cutting down large trees.

Example of stump bugs

Situation 1

Imagine that you cut down a tree by the river bank, but the stump remains. You try to use the uprooter, but the removal animation does not start. The technique cannot fix the stump and the error message keeps appearing.

Situation 2

Another example is a stump from a large tree on a farm plot. You use the mulcher, bring it to the stump, make circular movements, but the machine does not respond. The stump stays in place and you lose the opportunity to build something nearby because of the collision.

Possible solutions

At the time of writing, there is no universal way to eliminate such stumps in the game, but here are a few approaches you can try:

• Use a different type of equipment. Try different stump grinders or forestry tools — sometimes the issue is tied to specific equipment.

• Try removing the stump from different sides. Approach the stump from various angles, as this can sometimes trigger the grinding animation.

• Restart the game. A simple game restart can often fix bugs related to object collision or display issues.

• Try plowing the area. Use a plow or cultivator to attempt to "bury" the glitched stump. This solution works in most cases, allowing you to continue building or farming.

• Switch to another vehicle type. For example, if you're using a skid steer, try a tractor-mounted grinder instead, or vice versa.

• Lower and adjust the grinder height manually. Sometimes manually positioning the grinder as close as possible to the stump's surface can help.

• Test different stumps nearby. If one stump glitches, try clearing others in the same area to see if the bug is localized or affects multiple objects.

• Clear the area of other objects. Ensure that no nearby objects or terrain modifications are interfering with the stump grinder's operation.

• Monitor developer updates. This is a known issue, and developers are likely working on a fix, so make sure your game is updated to the latest version.

The bug with stump uprooting especially prevents you from planting new trees and you lose some territory as it becomes unused.

Forest is an important resource, and the ability to process it directly affects the development of your farm. The problem also makes it difficult to develop new areas and prevents you from realizing your plans.
