FS25 Seasonal Crop Stress V1.0.7

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, EN / DE / FR / IT / NL / PL
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.
V1.0.7.0
Center pivot now reconnects to a pump regardless of placement order — fixed the “pump not connected” bug when pivot is placed before pump

The Seasonal Crop Stress mod introduces realistic soil moisture physics to FS25, where the crops can suffer from water stress leading to reduced yield if not managed properly. The mod simulates the effects of heat, evaporation, rain, soil types (such as sandy and clay), and critical moisture thresholds during important growth stages like wheat heading and corn pollination.

Key features of the mod include:

1. **Moisture Monitoring**: Activates immediately upon loading your farm.
2. **Field Moisture HUD**: Accessible by pressing Shift+M to view the 5-day moisture forecast strip for each field.
3. **Crop Consultant**: Press Shift+C to open the risk summary, where green indicates healthy crops, yellow signifies attention needed, and red prompts immediate irrigation.
4. **Irrigation Management**: Place a Water Pump near a water source and a Center Pivot within 500m. Set up an irrigation schedule by interacting with the pivot (E or Shift+I).
5. **Yield Impact**: Drought-stressed fields yield less at harvest, emphasizing the need for proactive management.

The mod supports singleplayer, multiplayer (host-authoritative), persistent saves, and offers language options in English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, and Polish.

Update V1.0.7.0 includes a fix where the center pivot now reconnects to a pump regardless of placement order, resolving the "pump not connected" bug encountered when the pivot was positioned before the pump.

Remember, in the world of FS25 Seasonal Crop Stress, water your fields or risk losing your harvest. Happy farming!
