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.
V1.2.0.0
A lot has been added since the last release. The mod now has a proper in-game interface so you can monitor your farm’s moisture situation without relying solely on the HUD overlay.
What’s new:
– Crop Moisture tab added to the PDA map each field shows a colour-coded dot: green (healthy), amber (getting dry), red (irrigate now)
– New Crop PDA screen in the InGameMenu Overview tab shows average moisture, stress level, and estimated yield loss across your whole farm; Irrigation tab lists every field sorted driest-first so you can triage at a glance and see which fields already have irrigation coverage
– “Open Crop PDA” button on the map sidebar for quick access
– Alex Chen (Agronomist NPC) now remembers your relationship level across save reloads no more starting from scratch every session
– Custom Settings panel added (Shift+S) — adjust stress thresholds and irrigation behaviour without leaving the game
– Fixed: moisture HUD scroll, right-click, and field count display bugs
– Fixed: Shift+S keybind not showing in controls menu for all languages
– Ukrainian language support added
– FS25_SoilFertilizer integration improvements
No save migration needed fully compatible with existing saves.
