FS25 Seasonal Crop Stress V1.0.8

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

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.

Monitoring and managing moisture levels become crucial during critical growth stages like wheat heading and corn pollination.

Key features of the mod include:
- Real soil moisture physics

5. Green indicates healthy fields, yellow requires attention, red means immediate irrigation is needed
6. Install a Water Pump near a water source and place a Center Pivot within 500m
7. Set up your irrigation schedule by interacting with the pivot (E or Shift+I)
8. Drought-stressed fields yield less at harvest, so plan and manage water wisely
