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.
V1.2.3.1
– New: Center pivot irrigation arm now visually spins when irrigation is active. Speed is configurable via the armMinPerRev attribute in XML (default: 30 min/revolution).
– New: Terrain-following support pivot spans rise and fall as the arm rotates over uneven ground (requires updated model with span_N nodes).
– New: Wheel animation wheel rotation is physically tied to how far the arm travels. Inner towers spin slower than the tip, which is correct.
– Fixed: Replaced a broken node lookup function that was silently failing, preventing the arm from animating at all.
