FS25 Water in deep wheel tracks V1.2.5.1

FS25 Water in deep wheel tracks V1.2.5.1

Water dynamically appears in the deep tracks made by a 900 HP tractor on waterlogged fields, filling the ruts and following the terrain. This mod remains in development and is provided as a beta for testing on different maps and under various soil conditions.

Features

• Below the field, a continuous groundwater level follows the terrain, including slopes.
• Wherever the ground is lower, including tractor tracks, water becomes visible.
• The tracks act as small basins and fill until the water reaches the rut edges.
• Water does not form blocky puddles or floating sheets.
• At 10% soil moisture, the water level increases according to local ground conditions.
• Rain and snowmelt cause the water level to rise further.
• In frost conditions, the water freezes solid.
• If “Realistic Water & Soil Management” (RWSM) is installed, local soil moisture data from it is used, so water accumulation follows the existing ground conditions.
• Wheels and the in-game character affect the water through the native ShallowWaterSimulation.
• The character follows the environment and steps down into the rut instead of hovering over its surface.
• The current state is saved in the savegame.
• Multiplayer is supported.
• Each client calculates the water effects locally.
• Tire tracks are included in the calculations, no matter which vehicle made them.
• Development is ongoing, and testing on various maps and soil conditions is required.
• For unusual water behavior, visual glitches, or other oddities, the most useful feedback is a screenshot together with the log.txt file.
