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.
V1.2.3.0
This update fixes the long-standing issue where players on dedicated servers
saw no field data in the mod’s menus, and brings a major new way to monitor
your fields: the in-game Crop Moisture Monitor.
What’s new / what’s fixed:
– DEDICATED SERVER FIX — field moisture and stress data now syncs to all
clients when they join. The Crop Moisture Monitor no longer shows a blank
screen on dedi servers.
– CROP MOISTURE MONITOR — a new tab in the ESC pause menu (look for the
crop icon). Shows every field’s moisture level, stress %, and irrigation
status at a glance. Includes a farm-wide overview with average moisture,
yield loss estimate, and healthy/warning/critical counts. No more needing
to open the HUD overlay — everything is in the menu.
– IRRIGATION TAB — the monitor’s second tab lists all fields sorted by
driest first. Click any irrigated field to jump straight to its schedule
dialog.
-FIELD FILTER — toggle between all fields and only your owned fields using
the filter button in the monitor.
-MAP OVERLAY — soil moisture is now shown as a colour-coded overlay on the
in-game map (green = healthy, yellow = warning, red = critical).
– RANDOM WORLD EVENTS — if you run FS25_RandomWorldEvents, heat waves and
droughts now increase crop stress accumulation dynamically.
– ALEX CHEN — the Agronomist NPC’s relationship level now saves and loads
correctly across game restarts (requires FS25_NPCFavor).
– SETTINGS PANEL — press Shift+S to open the mod settings panel without
going into the ESC menu.
– DANISH TRANSLATION — full Danish localisation added (thanks to community
contributor West).
– Various fixes to the HUD overlay, translation files, and UI layout.
Save compatibility: no migration needed — your existing save loads normally.
