v1.21.x
Realistic Water & Soil Management (RWSM) for FS25 - this mod expands Farming Simulator 25 with a permanently stored, multi-layered water, soil and plant balance system. Rain, irrigation, evaporation, soil type, compaction, tire pressure, tillage and plant development are fully interconnected for much more realistic field behavior and long-term yield effects.
Features of Realistic Water & Soil Management (RWSM):
– Multi-layered water balance (Topsoil 0–10 cm, Root zone 10–30 cm, Subsoil 30–60 cm)
– Different soil types with unique properties (loamy sand, sandy loam, clay, silty clay, etc.)
– Dynamic weather and climate influence on soil moisture
– Realistic drying and wetness memory
– Natural depressions and waterlogging simulation
– Detailed soil compaction (topsoil, root zone, subsoil) influenced by vehicle weight, tire pressure, slip, moisture and more
– Root health and plant stress system (drought, waterlogging, compaction, nutrients, pH)
– Impact on actual yields
– Crop Vitality Visuals (local differences in plant height and density)
– Weed competition
– Realistic tillage effects (plow, cultivator, disc harrow, subsoiler, roller, etc.)
– Functional Rainstar irrigation system with pump, hose reel and real water input
– Extended field information display
– Open Water-Soil API for other mods
– Full multiplayer support and permanent savegame storage
– Direct connection with Visual Mud Tracks
Tested on game version 1.21+
