Hello everyone 👋
I'm new here and I'm coming to present to you a project I've been working on for a while: a watering can irrigation system for FS25.
The initial idea was to make a simple watering can to fertilize my fields then I added options gradually to have a complete irrigation system.
WHAT THE MOD CAN DO
- You place watering cans directly in your fields, you associate them with a plot from the map and you irrigate your crops.
- But not only that, you can also spray your fields with liquid fertilizer, herbicide and liquid lime and all that simply by pressing a button.
- You choose the product(s) (you can even combine several), you click on ACTIVATE and the watering cans come out of the ground and do the work.
Concretely, this means:
- No need to take out the spreader to fertilize, the watering cans do it at the same time as they water.
- You go to bed, the mod works for you, and you find your fields irrigated when you wake up.
- Two savings to choose from for each product: either you fill the tanks at the market price, or you purchase directly and you are simply billed for each turn of the watering can.
- And for those who want to master everything, a scale and adjustment system is set up to regulate your games
WHAT IS ALREADY DONE
- The retractable watering can is finished.
- The management map
WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE
- On the code side, I still have some small details to sort out: check that the game's official sprayers accept water in their tank, and finish the log and alerts, that is to say the complete history of what the mod does plus in-game notifications.
- there are still the tanks and the 3D management office, that's where things get stuck. I don't have the level of modeling to produce structures of this size cleanly or at least quickly. This is very clearly what will delay the release of the mod and I prefer to say it right away rather than making everyone wait in the void, so if people are interested in joining the project for modeling, textures, or just a helping hand on buildings, any help is welcome PM me on Discord: dark.off

💬 CONCLUSION
