Description:

Veneroni irrigation turbine, designed to water your water-thirsty fields.
This is the Beta version by RL Modding, whom I thank (and we thank) for granting permission to publish it.
It has been converted, fixed, and adapted through scripts to work with REALISTIC WEATHER (must be updated to version 1.2.1 on GitHub), with REALISTIC SOIL & WATER MANAGEMENT, with Precision Farming, and also without any mods installed.
Everything operates automatically.
Soon, it will also be adapted to flood rice fields with water. Without any additional mods, it will simply perform “fertigation”. With Precision Farming enabled, it will provide fertigation, supplying both pH and nitrogen to the soil. Adding RW or RWSM will enable it to perform its full water management functions.
(for example, RW’s optimal moisture point will be stabilized)
How it works:
It requires water for irrigation, so it must be submerged in a canal, pond, or river next to your owned field. I recommend the “Natural Water Rivers And Ponds Pack” mod, available on the ModHub, to dig the canal and supply water.
It must be unfolded; remove the front lock and open it. Once submerged (the impeller should be slightly below water level to avoid warnings), start the turbine, and it will operate automatically.
It is slow in all 4 modes, so leave it running while you attend to other tasks (future updates may make it even slower).
It will only irrigate the field where it sprays water (unlike the RWSM hose reel, for practical gameplay/script reasons).
WARNING:
Do not use it with RW and RWSM together.
If the message “you do not have access to this land” appears, ignore it; leave it running, and it will irrigate regardless (this message may always appear).
The water effect is as described; it may be changed in future updates.
It requires at least 90 hp, just like the real model.
V1.1.9.0
New:
RICE FIELDS: as promised, it now irrigates rice fields too. Aim the jet at a rice field, and the turbine will flood it automatically, just like the in-game pump. It fills at the same speed, up to the water level needed by the crop at its current growth stage (rice and long-grain rice). The turbine must draw water from a canal next to the rice field; if you don’t have one, create it.
An information panel has been added at the top center of the screen for each active turbine, showing the field number and area:
in a rice field: water level, target, and remaining time.
with Realistic Weather: jet reach and humidity compared to the ideal level.
with RWSM: how much of the field is at the correct humidity.
with fertigation: how much fertilizer has been applied and how much remains.
The panel can be moved with the mouse: press the mouse wheel, drag with the left button, then press the mouse wheel again.
New water effect: The jet no longer passes through the deflector plate. It falls onto it, flows between the teeth, and descends in many small waterfalls to the ground or into the rice field water. They always fall straight down, even when the pipe is tilted, creating a splash where they touch the ground. The turbine appears to sit on the ground, so unless you raise the arm, it’s mostly hidden, but it’s there.
Future updates may improve its appearance.
Fertigation (without Realistic Weather and without RWSM):
The entire field is recognized; the system covers the whole area, including edges, without spilling over to neighboring fields. It works on large fields, up to approximately 200 hectares.
Timed operation: the turbine starts where the water falls and moves across the field at a steady rate, roughly 4 minutes per hectare. The panel shows progress percentage and remaining time. Already irrigated areas take no additional time; turning it off and on resumes from where it left off.
Without Precision Farming: double application rate, so the field reaches 100% fertilization in a single pass. FS25 allows only one fertilization per growth stage; if part of the field has already been fertilized at this stage, the panel will notify you.
Improvements:
Realistic Weather: humidity increases with accelerated time. The jet reaches and maintains the ideal humidity for the crop in each area while the turbine is active, only on your fields.
The “You do not have access to this land” warning no longer appears; if it does, there is likely a boundary issue.
That’s everything. Have fun!
Remember, to use it with Realistic Weather, you need the latest version 1.2.1.0 available on GitHub.
