Realistic Weather V1.2.1

Realistic Weather v1.0

An overhaul to the weather system, focusing mainly on snow.

Features:
– Adds 3 new “disaster” weather events, blizzards, droughts and extremely thick fog
– Extends the info display in the top right, adding information on temperature, upcoming disasters and predicted snow amount
– Adds a moisture mechanic to fields; each type of crop has an ideal moisture range, being inside this range increases harvest yield
– Moisture changes constantly depending on sunlight, temperature and rainfall
– Crops with extremely low moisture will wither
– Hail will now cause damage and wear to vehicles left outside
– Wheel physics changed significantly
– Maximum amount of snow has been doubled
– Livestock will leave “footprints” in deep snow (only on high-end systems)

Blizzards:
— Blizzards are rare events that will cause significant snowfall in a short period of time, causing up to 1 metre high snow
— Temperature during blizzards can go as low as -15 celsius
— Snow will likely remain for much longer time

Droughts:
— Droughts result in extreme heat which will lead to rapid moisture loss in fields

Fog:
— Extremely thick fogs may occur where visibility is extremely low for up to 14 hours

Wheel Physics:
— Friction for all wheel types have been changed to be much more realistic
— Friction will now decrease more realistically based on road and vehicle conditions, including vehicle weight, snow amount, and snow wetness
— Braking times are now dependant on friction and number of wheels; lower friction will result in longer braking times, whereas more wheels result in faster times
— Wheels will gradually destroy snow more realistically, based on the weight the wheel is carrying, snow amount and snow wetness
— Heavier vehicles will sink in snow much more than lighter vehicles; sunk vehicles may get completely stuck
— Driving cars and heavy equipment in heavy snow will be almost impossible as a result, specific vehicles, such as vehicles with tracks, are required

Precision farming mod still override the crop yield

Tony

Should it cost $250,000 a month to auto-irrigate a 360 acre field?

PJC

Saw there have been a couple of updates to this mod so gave it another shot. Went to irrigate a field with a sprayer. Pressed B to start spraying – all good. Pressed B to stop spraying – lost all keyboard control, had to Ctrl-Alt-Del out of the game. Uninstall (again). Too bad, if this mod worked well it would be the answer to my prayers for FS25.

PJC

(PS: Before anyone says ‘mod conflict’, nope, repeatable problem without any other mods activated.)

OOS

I don’t have that problem at all, just for your info i use over 1000 mods! I have 6 different saves that i play on. No error in my game log.

PJC

Hmm, in the log it says: “Error: Running LUA method ‘update’.
dataS/scripts/sounds/SoundManager.lua:1179: attempt to index boolean with ‘soundSample'”. I did check my drivers – all up to date…

Ден

Добрый разработчик. Лужи мерцают и криво спавнятся на полях вылезая своей плоской текстурой за ее пределы. Ограничьте зону луж в пределах поля. Спасибо!

collin

i put this on a dedicated and it runs great. until you use a sprayer. then the server crashes and in the log file it says something about the sound manager not being able to update

PJC

A bit relieved to note it’s not just me having this issue – hope it gets sorted out.

  1. This mod could certainly be one of the best out there, however with that being said, if you play on 1 day months, this mod is a no go. I have tried it on several different occasions on several different maps, and there is NEVER enough moisture to get a close to decent yield. I wish the mod maker would make an option for time settings. everything else seems to be good however for me, i won’t be using it anymore until hopefully some updates are added.
Vestarion

Love most of the mod. But the wheel changes make it feel like you’re *always* driving on ice. Also the moisture seems to cause problems, on Riverbend almost every field suffers from withering due to moisture every year for me :/ Could really do with at least a way to supplement moisture when it’s low.
Love the rest of the mod though

Brajuitorul

Split this mod into 2, I want only the weather to be more realistic (like stop hailing for over 5h), I don’t want it to mess with my fields or yields more than if a disaster occurs

DON

is rain factored when it rains?

DON

waiting for an irrigation system on wheels like in the mid-west

qu1lo

super cool mod but I get lag spikes all the time and I can’t move when I’m loaded into the map for 5 sec

TheJimReaper

Not quite sure what you’ve changed in the update, but my game is now not loading correctly on any map! Everything was fie before the update. Maybe a mod clash as other people seem to have it working, but I’m using the same mods as I was before the update.

Thor

Price for two days of irrigation on the base game Riverbed map, (I play on 5 days a month) months was two million. This is unacceptable.

H2LYF

This is causing trailers not to tip… only Auger wagons are working. Removed your mod and tipping works again…

Thor

You need to change the control for irrigation and it will fix that.

H2LYF

Thanks, I did remap irrigation to a different key and still won’t tip a trailer…

Thor

Can’t open any menus for fine tuning. Would be nice to customize the weather a bit. Also, the initial control for irrigation is set to I and it buggers the ability for trucks to dump their loads.

Thomas

the mod make you where you don’t move at all once loaded in the game

RST

how to make snow softer? Even snowplug cannot push this

RST

Hello,how i can make snow psyhics softer? snow is to hard for snowplow

PJC

A few observations: Playing 3-day months, I am finding the grass moisture never rises to anything near the optimal range, despite 1-2 rain showers almost every day. The initial moisture level was good for the initial wheat harvest, but through Sep-Oct it has remained well below optimal despite a good amount of rain. Also notice the moisture level is different on each field (not sayin that is bad, just wondering if intended?)

Miklos

can you water crops to help with moisture??

paul

i have a question, we play with the mod on the server, and every player see another moisture. can that be fixt. and also the field said a amount and we get a lot less how is that possible

Mike

is this mod compatible in mp. it seem to work for a time but now no snow and temps not dropping. alo the moisure info now not showing. is there any known mod conflicts?

Brandon

love the mod, one slight problem, had a blizzard in february, and skipped time all the way thru june and all the snow was still on the ground. i think it may be bugged.

Sheathanaich

Hmm, it could well be the snow bug that has been reported repeatedly on the main hub forum.
I have seen this as well…for now, I have disabled snow in-game.

CNelms

Can you remove the moisture effect? really like the mod but would rather not have this part.

Sheathanaich

It’s a nice feature, that brings a little realism..I did though increase my weekly time scale to 7 days a month. This helps with days that are a little “wet” when you cannot do anything other than prep fields. Looking at predicted weather changes rather counts now in planning

Mike

its part of real weather that real farmer face.

Marco

I second that. Ultimately it end up with me needing to set more days in the month and then just set fast time until weather is better. Otherwise i will get half of the crops i get without this mod. Spending a week to wait until crops are dry enough is realistic, but it’s not good game play.

Sheathanaich

Instant like from me….Works seriously well in game. Case in point because of moisture effect was unable to combine canola early morning, I had to fast forward time while watching the moisture rise till it was somewhat ready. Rain IS forecast and I have about a 2 hour window to get it off the ground.

This with Precision farming will be such a great addition to this game…KUDOS

PotatoTomato

Will Precision Farming be a thing in FS25?

Sheathanaich

According to Giants Modhub web page, it’s scheduled for 2nd quarter this year…So yes it’s going to be a reality.
