For Farming Simulator 25 players with a lot of mods
Silo reads your mods and your game log, so you can see what broke, what clashes and what's missing before the evening is gone.
Version 1.0.3, released October 29, 2026 · free · open source (MIT)
The video plays from YouTube, which loads only when you press play. More on the HLLMR GAMING channel.
Everything drops into one mods/ folder and loads at once. With hundreds installed, finding the one that
broke your game can eat the whole night.
The log scrolls a wall of red and the cause is buried somewhere in it.
Two mods claim the same filltype, vehicle type or script, and one quietly wins.
ModHub shows one version, GitHub another. Which one do you have?
A mod lives on ModHub, its developer on GitHub. No one place tells the whole story.
1 · The game crashes
Come back to Silo. It has already read log.txt, and the crash notice names the mod most likely behind it.
2 · Park it
One click sets that mod aside and leaves the rest of your set as it was. The switch can be undone.
3 · Log says nothing?
Find the problem mod switches half your mods off, you relaunch, and it narrows down from there. Then it puts your set back.
Diagnose
Silo reads log.txt after every run and names the mod most likely behind the crash, ranked by the errors each one logged. When the log says nothing useful, Find the problem mod narrows it down for you, then puts your set back.
Prevent
Colliding filltypes, vehicle types or scripts, and the mods a friend's server needs: Silo shows them while they're still easy to fix.
Verify
Silo hashes an installed mod on your computer and compares it with the build its source published. Verified build means a byte-for-byte match; Modified lists the files that changed. It's a provenance check, not a virus scan. It covers GitHub mods, and ModHub mods the catalog has already checked.
Keep a set per playthrough and switch between them. Switching a mod on or off changes its link in the game's mods folder right away, and switches can be undone.
Mod setsSend a set as a link or a file. Friends preview it against their own library, then import it. A Multiplayer check file lets everyone match a server's mods.
Sharing setsCheck GitHub and ModHub versions in one place. Checking sends the names of your installed mods to Silo's catalog; versions are compared on your computer. Updates keep the previous version in backups/.
One record per mod across ModHub and GitHub, with the latest version found across both. GitHub releases install in one click; ModHub mods open on ModHub, and Silo picks them up when you save them to your mods folder.
Browse the catalogOrganize shows every move before it touches a file, and nothing is deleted. Silo never edits inside a mod, and you can undo organizing at any time with Undo organizing in Settings.
OrganizingGenerates a small companion mod that teaches your equipment a map filltype it refuses to load. The sugar-beet fix, with no vehicle edits.
Filltype bridgeThe app's source is on GitHub under the MIT license. Audit it, fork it, build it yourself. The catalog it talks to is a separate hosted service.
No account, no ads, no telemetry. Silo contacts its catalog only when you search, open a mod's details, check for updates or verify a mod. The privacy policy lists every connection.
Silo never edits inside a mod, and Organize shows every move first. Updates keep the previous version, and settings and saves are backed up before Silo edits them.
One native app with no runtime to install. macOS and Linux builds exist and testers are welcome.
Yes. Silo is free and open source (MIT), with no account to create, no ads, no paid tier and no telemetry. The desktop app's source is on GitHub to audit, fork or build yourself. The catalog it talks to is a separate hosted service.
It manages your Farming Simulator 25 mods. Silo organizes the library and reads log.txt to name the likely culprit when the game crashes. It flags conflicts before launch, such as colliding filltypes, vehicle types or scripts. And it pulls ModHub and GitHub into one catalog that shows the latest version found across both.
It moves them, and it never edits inside a mod. Silo files your zips into a local archive. When you switch a mod on or off, Silo adds or removes its link in the game's mods folder right away, so the game loads exactly your active set. Organize shows you every move before it touches a file, and nothing is deleted. You can undo organizing at any time: Undo organizing (Settings, Maintenance) puts every mod back in your mods folder, after which the game loads all of them, including ones you had parked. Mod updates keep the previous version in backups/, and Silo backs up settings and savegames before editing them.
Windows is the tested, supported platform today. macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) and Linux builds exist but are largely untested, and testers on those platforms are welcome. It's one native app with per-OS game discovery and no runtime to install.
Yes. Silo keeps one record per mod that pulls both together, so you see the latest version found across them. GitHub releases install in one click. ModHub mods download from ModHub's own site; save them to your mods folder and Silo picks them up on the next scan. You can star a repo on GitHub through your own account or open the ModHub page to rate a mod. Your GitHub token stays on your machine.
No account, no ads, no telemetry. Silo contacts its catalog only when you ask: searching Browse, opening a mod's details, checking for updates, or verifying a mod. Each request carries what it needs, such as your search terms or the names of the mods being checked; versions are compared on your computer. Separately, Silo checks GitHub for its own app updates at launch, and that check sends no library data. Silo never uploads your saves, mod archives, notes or personal files.
Our servers keep standard access logs (IP address, time, page and browser or Silo version) for 30 days. We count unique visitors and app clients from them and publish only the totals.
The totals are on the Trust page, and the privacy policy lists every connection Silo makes.
Free and open source. Version 1.0.3, released October 29, 2026.
Recommended: the setup .exe installs for your user account without administrator rights.
The .msi installs for all users and needs administrator rights.
Windows installers are digitally signed by David Hellmer, Silo's developer. SmartScreen may still prompt on a brand-new release, but it shows the publisher instead of "unknown". After that, Silo updates itself: it checks for a new version of the app at launch and installs it in one click.
Builds for macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) and Linux (AppImage, .deb, .rpm) are on the Releases page. They are largely untested, so testers are welcome. The Mac builds are signed and notarized by Apple, so they open like any other app.
