Seasonal Crop Stress

Transform your FS25 farming experience with the Seasonal Crop Stress mod, bringing realistic soil moisture physics to your gameplay. Experience the challenges of maintaining crop health as heat causes evaporation and rain replenishes the soil. Sandy soils drain quickly, while clay retains moisture longer. Monitor critical moisture levels during key growth stages like wheat heading and corn pollination to prevent stress and yield loss. Utilize a center-pivot irrigator to manage your fields effectively.

Quick Start Guide:

1. Load your farm to activate moisture monitoring immediately.
2. Press Shift+M to open the Field Moisture HUD.
3. Click on a field to view its 5-day moisture forecast.
4. Press Shift+C to access the Crop Consultant for risk summaries.
5. Colors indicate crop health: Green = Healthy, Yellow = Needs Attention, Red = Irrigate Now.
6. Place a Water Pump near water and a Center Pivot within 500m.
7. Press E near the pivot (or Shift+I) to set your irrigation schedule.
8. Plan ahead, as drought-stressed fields yield less at harvest.

New features include a comprehensive in-game interface, a Crop Moisture tab on the PDA map, and a Crop PDA screen in the InGameMenu Overview tab. Monitor average moisture, stress levels, and estimated yield loss across your farm. An Irrigation tab helps prioritize fields needing attention. Enjoy enhanced gameplay with a remembered relationship level with Agronomist NPC Alex Chen, customizable settings, and Ukrainian language support.
