FS25 Seasonal Crop Stress V1.0.3

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.

Singleplayer, Multiplayer (host-authoritative), Persistent saves

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.

V1.0.3.0
Moveable HUD, Forecast Fix & More Crops

The forecast strip was overlapping itself, and right-clicking to move another mod’s HUD was accidentally dragging this one too. Both are fixed.
The HUD can now be freely repositioned and resized.

What’s fixed:
– Forecast strip day labels and percentage bars no longer overlap each other
– Right-clicking NPCFavor or SoilFertilizer HUDs no longer affects this panel
– Settings now sync correctly to all players in multiplayer

What’s new:
– Right-click directly on the moisture panel to enter move mode, drag it anywhere on screen
– Drag any corner handle to resize the panel (60% – 160% scale), position is saved between sessions
– Crop library expanded to 34 entries with corrected soil moisture absorption values

That sounds like a very detailed and immersive mod for FS25! The emphasis on realistic soil moisture physics affecting crop growth and yield adds an extra layer of challenge and strategy to gameplay. Players will need to actively monitor and manage their fields' moisture levels to ensure optimal crop health and maximize yields.

The Quick Start guide you provided seems straightforward and helpful for players to quickly get started with the mod. The inclusion of a Field Moisture HUD, Crop Consultant for risk assessment, and the ability to place and manage irrigation systems add depth to the farming experience.

The improvements and fixes in version 1.0.3.0 show the dedication of the mod creators to continuously refine and enhance the player experience. Addressing UI issues, syncing settings in multiplayer, and expanding the crop library with accurate soil moisture absorption values all contribute to a more polished and user-friendly mod.

Overall, this mod seems like a great addition for players looking for a more realistic and challenging farming experience in FS25. Managing soil moisture levels to prevent crop stress and optimizing irrigation practices adds a new dimension to crop farming gameplay.
