LS25 Seasonal Crop Stress V1.0.9.1
LS25 Seasonal Crop Stress V1.0.9.1
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.
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
V1.0.9.1
– Improved forecast logic: season-typical daily mean temperatures replace snapshot-temp evap (eliminates midday/dawn bias); rain duration persistence heuristic added for days 1–2; day-2 signal decay blends near-term and seasonal baseline
– Added ~ visual indicator on HUD forecast strip — header shows 5-Day Forecast ~, projected columns (D+1–D+4) render in desaturated blue-grey with ~47% format; “Now” column shows live data unmodified
