FS25 farms look lush even when your crops are quietly dying of thirst. This mod changes that.
Real soil moisture physics. Heat evaporates. Rain replenishes. Sandy soil drains fast; clay holds longer. When moisture drops below critical thresholds during the windows that matter most — wheat during heading, corn during pollination — stress accumulates and your yield shrinks. Place a center-pivot irrigator, schedule it, and protect what you’ve grown.
QUICK START:
1. Load your farm — moisture monitoring activates immediately
2. Press Shift+M → open the Field Moisture HUD
3. Click a field → see its 5-day moisture forecast strip
4. Press Shift+C → open the Crop Consultant for risk summary
5. Green = healthy · Yellow = needs attention · Red = irrigate NOW
6. Place a Water Pump near water, then a Center Pivot within 500m
7. Press E near the pivot (or Shift+I) → set your irrigation schedule
8. At harvest, drought-stressed fields yield less — plan ahead
Water your fields or lose your harvest.
V1.2.2.0
Seasonal Crop Stress now connects with Random World Events — harsh field events make your crops more vulnerable, while good seasons give them a break. A new Crop Moisture PDA screen and several usability fixes round out this release.
What’s new / fixed:
– Random World Events integration: active field events now affect how fast stress builds up — bad events (crop yield penalty, harvest penalty, etc.) increase the stress rate by up to 40%; good events reduce it by up to 20%
– New Crop Moisture PDA screen with per-field moisture levels and a map overlay tab showing moisture across all your fields
– Irrigation PDA: clicking an irrigated row now opens its schedule directly; clicking a non-irrigated row shows a clear explanation
– Fixed: FarmTablet Crop Stress app now shows moisture bars correctly (was showing “not yet available” before this update)
– Alex Chen (agronomist consultant) relationship now persists across save/load sessions
– Custom settings panel (Shift+S) working correctly with Soil Fertilizer
– Fixed a crash caused by an invalid map overlay draw call
– Fixed positioning warnings in the settings panel
– Ukrainian language added
– Missing translation keys filled in for all supported languages
Saves: No migration needed.
