Realistic Water & Soil Management (RWSM) V1.3.6.8 fs25-mods

Description:

Version 1.3.6.8 includes fixes for the sprayer tires that were partially not turning and performance improvements for individual field value scanning. Version 1.3.6.7 addressed sprinkler issues, ensuring the hose reel no longer gets hit when stopping and improving overall performance. The Realistic Water & Soil Management expands Farming Simulator 25 by maintaining a persistent water, soil, and plant balance. Rain, irrigation, evaporation, soil type, terrain, compaction, tire pressure, tillage, and plant development are interconnected, resulting in a multi-layered water balance that affects topsoil, root zone, and subsoil. Natural depressions retain moisture longer, heavy vehicles cause more compaction on wet soil, and inadequate tire pressure increases topsoil load. These factors influence soil structure, root health, plant growth, and yield over the long term. Features include: - Multi-layered water balance for topsoil (0-10 cm), root zone (10-30 cm), and subsoil (30-60 cm) - Calculation of soil water based on precipitation, irrigation, evaporation, seepage, drainage, runoff, plant water uptake, soil type, structure, compaction, and landform - Separate display of field capacity and pore saturation, with excess water capable of seeping away or causing waterlogging - Differentiation of soil types such as loamy sand, sandy loam, clay, and silty clay, each with unique properties like field capacity, wilting point, water retention, infiltration, drainage, bearing capacity, and compaction risk - Dynamic weather and climate influence soil moisture, drying, and evaporation, with actual weather data affecting moisture levels - Realistic drying process driven by temperature, wind, sun, humidity, soil type, and compaction, with a moisture memory to prevent immediate drying after rain - Detection of natural depressions and waterlogging, which collect water, dry slowly, and pose risks like sinking, track formation, and oxygen deficiency - Soil compaction is stored separately for topsoil, root zone, and underbody, influenced by vehicle weight, payload, wheel load, axle load, tire width, pressure, soil moisture, and other factors - Multiple crossings are considered, with damage accumulating over repeated passes - Roots and plant stress are simulated, affecting root health, depth, drought, waterlogging, oxygen levels, and nutrient uptake - Impact on crop yield based on water balance, dryness, compaction, soil structure, nutrients, pH, seedbed, weeds, and mechanical damage - Visual crop vitality indicators (Alpha version) show local differences in plant health, such as height, density, and stress zones - Weed competition affects growth and yield, competing for water, nutrients, light, and space - Tillage devices like plows, cultivators, disc harrows, rotary harrows, subsoilers, seeders, and rollers influence soil structure, seedbed quality, and risk of damage - Seedbed and roller effects are evaluated for optimal soil sealing and air flow - The irrigation system includes a Rainstar setup with pump, hose reel, sprinkling rail, adjustable pressure, radius, application rate, water consumption, and automatic hose retraction - Extended field info displays soil moisture, pore saturation, surface condition, excess water, soil type, evaporation, temperature, wind, compaction, structure, seedbed strength, root condition, plant vitality, height, density, and stress causes - Water-Soil API offers a versioned interface for other mods, providing data on soil type, moisture, saturation, water availability, surface moisture, carrying capacity, trafficability, sinking depth, compaction, track depth, root condition, evaporation, tire pressure, and plant vitality - Integration with Visual Mud Tracks allows ground effects like tracks, sinking, mud, and tire behavior to be linked to actual soil conditions - Data such as water balance, precipitation, compaction, track depth, soil structure, root condition, and plant vitality are stored and synchronized for multiplayer sessions, with server authority Highlights include: - Multi-layered water balance reacting separately to environmental factors - Long-term soil compaction affecting yield, influenced by tire pressure, wheel load, and passes - Connection to Visual Mud Tracks for realistic ground effects - Detection of natural depressions and waterlogging zones - Visible plant vitality variations without affecting crop maturity - Realistic tire pressure effects on soil stress - Root health and plant stress simulation - Functional irrigation with adjustable parameters - Comprehensive field information display - Persistent multiplayer data storage - Open Water-Soil API for mod integration - No impact on growth stages, with plant stress visualized without altering maturity levels The pump only reads the real vanilla hose status: if the hose is disconnected, the pump does not start; if disconnected during operation, it switches off immediately. Weather Hud size options now include Normal, Small, Very Small, and Vanilla Hud. Performance improvements have been made. Required mods: Precision Farming, Visual Mud Tracks.
