Realistic Weather v1.2.0.0 fs25-mods

Description:

An overhaul of the weather system, focusing mainly on snow. Features: - Adds 3 new "disaster" weather events: blizzards, droughts, and extremely thick fog. - Introduces a new grass moisture system that dries tedded grass into hay over time. - Extends the info display in the top right corner, showing temperature, upcoming disasters, and predicted snow levels. - Adds a moisture mechanic to fields; each crop type has an ideal moisture range, and staying within this range boosts harvest yields. - Moisture levels constantly change based on sunlight, temperature, and rainfall. - Crops with extremely low moisture will wither. - Hail now causes damage and wear to vehicles left outside. - Wheel physics have been significantly improved. - The maximum amount of snow has been doubled. - Livestock will leave footprints in deep snow (only on high-end systems). Crop Fires: - Dynamic crop fires can occur under certain conditions. - Fires spread and move over time, with new fires spawning independently. - Fires can be extinguished by cultivating the affected field or will die out naturally when the crop is destroyed or it rains. - Fires actively try to avoid cultivated or barren land. Blizzards: - Rare events causing heavy snowfall within a short period, up to 1 meter high. - Temperatures during blizzards can drop to -15°C. - Snow may remain for a much longer duration. Droughts: - Result in extreme heat, leading to rapid moisture loss in fields. Fog: - Extremely thick fogs may occur, reducing visibility for up to 14 hours. Wheel Physics: - Friction for all wheel types has been made more realistic. - Friction now decreases more naturally based on road and vehicle conditions, including weight, snow amount, and wetness. - Braking times depend on friction and the number of wheels; lower friction means longer braking distances, more wheels mean shorter. - Wheels gradually destroy snow more realistically, depending on weight, snow amount, and wetness. - Heavier vehicles sink more into snow and may get stuck. - Driving in heavy snow is nearly impossible without specialized vehicles like tracked ones. Grass Moisture System: - Tedded grass dries into hay over time, depending on its moisture. - Tedded grass has its own moisture content, influenced by the field’s moisture at mowing. - Tedded grass gains or loses moisture at different rates than fields. - A new info box shows moisture levels, required moisture, and whether the grass needs tedding (currently disabled in MP). - Note: This feature may cause lag on lower-end systems or large fields.
