FS25 Seasonal Crop Stress V1.0.1

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.

This mod, Seasonal Crop Stress V1.0.1, brings a new level of realism and challenge to FS25 farms by introducing real soil moisture physics. It adds depth to gameplay by simulating the impact of heat, evaporation, rain, soil types (such as sandy and clay), and critical moisture thresholds during crucial growth stages like wheat heading and corn pollination. This means that neglecting the moisture levels of your crops can lead to stress accumulation and reduced yields.

Players can monitor soil moisture levels through the Field Moisture HUD, which provides a 5-day forecast strip for each field. The Crop Consultant feature offers a risk summary, indicating the health of crops with color coding (green for healthy, yellow for attention needed, and red for immediate irrigation required). To address moisture needs, players can set up a Water Pump near a water source and a Center Pivot within a 500m range. By configuring the irrigation schedule, players can protect their crops from drought stress and ensure optimal yield at harvest.

These realistic mechanics are available for singleplayer and multiplayer gameplay, with support for multiple languages and features like persistent saves. With Seasonal Crop Stress V1.0.1, players are challenged to actively manage soil moisture to avoid losing their harvests. This mod adds a new layer of strategy and realism to farming simulation in FS25.
