FS25 Slurry Pipe System V1.0.1.9
For Farming Simulator 2025, this realistic physical slurry pipe system replaces the vanilla method of driving into a trigger to fill. Instead, tanker fill arms or pipe chains are physically connected, a PTO-driven pump is operated, pressure is built, and the flow direction is controlled. Slurry can be seen moving through the actual plumbing, while its thickness, crusting, and possible blockages must be managed.
Features
- Plumbing & transfer: Using a joystick, fill arms swing from the tanker into open slurry pits or rubber boot ports fitted to buildings and other vehicles.
- Pipe chains: Walk with the multi-segment pipes from one coupler toward another. Once both ends overlap valid couplings, the chain locks into position.
- Direct bez pipes: For a fast pump transfer between a building and a tanker, place one connecting pipe between two couplers that are close together.
- Conduit pump (PTO Slurry Pump): This passive pump trailer allows transfer between two pipe chains.
- Animated couplers and valves: Connection closes the clamp handles, while opening a valve turns its wheel.
- Coloured pipes: Each pipe segment can receive a colour from the palette, and that choice is stored per save.
- Multi-fill-type support: LIQUIDMANURE and DIGESTATE are supported. The transfer automatically chooses the fill type that is actually present.
- Pump types: Available pump types are vacuum, a stored ±bar pressure model with gauge, the HVP high-volume pump, a conduit pump station, and openTop passive vessels such as nurse tanks.
- Pressure model: Vacuum tankers build up, retain, taper, and purge a stored charge that powers filling and discharge. Spreading is scaled by pressure instead of using a simple on/off condition.
- PTO shear bolt (opt-in): When the PTO is engaged, the bolt turns under load, wears, and can snap. It can be repaired by walking up and holding the repair action.
- Thickness / dry matter: Increasing dry matter concentration makes slurry thicker. This changes both flow and spreading.
- Crust & blockages: An unmixed store develops a crust during the season. Crusted, lumpy slurry may block spreader outlets and the macerator. Mixing removes the risk, while water dilutes thick slurry.
- Agitation: A manager-driven agitator functions on every registered vehicle that has an agitator tip node, without needing a specialization.
- Water intake: Wherever the map supplies SPS water planes, fill arms can take water straight from map lakes and ponds.
- Dribble bars & band spreaders: The system models blockage for each outlet and includes a distributor macerator and spreader HUD.
- Fertiliser / herbicide sprayers: Through a dedicated sprayer integration, liquid fertiliser or herbicide is loaded using the same coupler-and-pipe system and one walk-up pump control. Sprayers have no pressure model, and their flow is flat rate.
Changelog
- V1.0.1.9
The physical hose system received multiplayer corrections reported and retested by server players. Invisible hoses from the original hose system have been repaired. Fertilizer/pesticides may now be routed through the water hose. The Borger 125 Separator was revised as well. No configuration changes are needed, and existing save games remain usable without changes.New fertilizer/plant protection product via water hose (physical hose system): The 80 mm water hose can now connect field sprayers, fertilizer/plant protection product silos, IBC containers, and purchasing stations. Use the buttons on the relevant sprayer: “B” starts or stops the flow, while “Y” changes between “loading” and “unloading”. Open the cover first with button “X”. The milk hose continues to be used exclusively for milk.
Borger 125 Separator: An information box now gives details about separated slurry, in kg/t, source, return flow, status, inflow rate, and solids content. The control panel shows the information in real time, solids visibly drop from the discharge chute, and soiling, wear, and moss growth occur during use. A wrench symbol is shown on the switch. Any crust that forms dissolves when fresh slurry is pumped into the storage tank. The tower mixer is now sold in the shop.
“Clean” Log: Hose connection messages are now shown only when “spsDebug Info” is enabled.
Fixed Bugs Multiplayer (Dedicated Server): Teammates could not manually pick up items, or the item was dropped again immediately. Hoses could be grabbed only at the female connector, while “female/female” and “male/male” connections could not be picked up. For teammates, dropped hoses stayed floating in mid-air. Hoses connected or stowed before a player joined appeared in a loose position.
Physical Hose System: A tank truck, for example Kotte TSA, rotated uncontrollably when a hose was attached to its rear connector. A connected hose end did not show a disconnect prompt. Connected hoses detached after a save was reloaded, while a “stretched” hose stayed visible at the connector. A laid-out hose disappeared after a small camera movement. Connecting both ports on the same machine is no longer possible.
Original hose system: In version 1.0.1.8, the automatic hose connection between two ports worked but was not shown graphically. It is now visually apparent. For hoses used with sprayers, water, or milk and stored at more than 4 meters in length, the connection prompt appears only within range. Park closer so the hose stays connected.
Separator “Source empty” when the storage is full: fixed.
Note: The piping mode prompt does not appear at startup on dedicated servers. An administrator can set up the physical piping in the PLC settings instead.
- V1.0.1.8
Description: This version covers physical hoses, the PLC docking station, the PLC tower mixer, and numerous troubleshooting tasks.Newly added Physical hoses: As an alternative to permanently installed lines, hoses can be bought, carried, connected, and manually joined to one another. Each hose type has its own shop page, including slurry/water/milk hoses, 4 m or 6 m lengths, various connectors, and colours.
To release stuck hoses, left Alt key + F while holding a hose: The hose can be moved through vehicles until it is released. Tank trucks and the SPS docking station, which is a mobile connection point, have hose holders.
SPS tower mixer: This slurry lagoon agitator includes a pump for filling tank trucks.
Flow indicators for pumps, PTO pump and tower mixer, include indications explaining why pumps have stopped. The tank truck HUD also displays the flow rate.
Water and milk can travel through hoses. Connections with valves, gravity flow, and transfers between tank trucks are supported. The central cow barn (SPS) and fertilizer/herbicide silos are supported as well.
Hoses, docking station, PTO pump, and tower mixer collect dirt and wear. A pressure washer can clean them. Custom waterways can be drawn in the build menu.
Bug fixes Multiplayer: Valves, pumps, and connections are synchronized. Joining players receive the correct status, PLC settings are restricted to an administrator, and other farms cannot operate your equipment. Shear bolt status is saved. The floating layer in slurry lagoons is synchronized per lagoon. Gea/Vector cow barns use their own configuration. A hose holder was added for the Farmtech SuperCis 800.
Shop: Added the “Slurry Technology” category, “PLC Slurry Set,” cameras, and hose previews.
Changes: The log is more organized, with routine messages moved to the “Info” debug channel. Download size is approximately 50 MB smaller, and processing load per frame is lower.
