What it does
The Director's Cut of Mining Layers ships as a drop series: transition band, material hardness with caprock, yield, an editor, and a mixed bucket.
Every drop as soon as it's done — no waiting for one big release. Member channels on Discord follow progress between drops.
This is its own build of Mining Layers — you install it instead of the free version. The two cannot run at the same time. Your layers and reference heights carry over, and so does the way back.
TerraFarm still has to be installed and active, same as for the free version.

Questions and answers
Mining Layers V2 Director's Cut: I use FSG Mod Assistant or several mod folders. Where does the key file go?
Put the key file (.xml) once into Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025/modSettings/FSMW/ (create the FSMW folder yourself). It then works for every mod folder, even when FSG Mod Assistant switches folders. If the key file sits in your mods folder, FSG Mod Assistant lists it as "Not a mod". That is normal, please don't delete it.
Can I download the Director's Cut yet?
Not yet. Drop 1, the transition band, is in progress and there is no public build.
What is in the Director's Cut?
A drop series that extends Mining Layers: transition band, material hardness with caprock, yield, an editor, and a mixed bucket. Every drop lands as soon as it is done, instead of waiting for one big release.
Does the Director's Cut replace Mining Layers?
No. Mining Layers stays free and stays as it is. The Director's Cut sits on top of it for members.
Is Mining Layers V2 Director's Cut being built for Farming Simulator 25?
Yes. Mining Layers V2 Director's Cut is being built for Farming Simulator 25 (FS25). How far along it is, is shown at the top of this page.

Where does the Download Key go?
Put the downloaded .xml file into your mods folder — the same folder your mod zips live in (Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025/mods). On the next game start the mod picks it up and stores it permanently under modSettings/FSMW/, where it survives every mod update. Nothing to type, nothing to rename.
You can also put the file straight into modSettings/FSMW/ — you will have to create that folder yourself.
Why at all: the key ties your copy to your account, so a re-upload can be traced back. Part of the code in the zip is encrypted for the same reason — the gameplay logic. Not a program, no .exe, no internet access. More in the FAQ
