FS25 SlurryPipeSystem v1.0.2
Slurry Pipe System changes vanilla drive-in slurry filling into a physical pipe and pump setup. Connect pipes or fill arms to a slurry source, operate the PTO-driven pump, build pressure, and regulate the flow before the material starts moving.
Features
- Fill arms for open pits with slurry surface detection
- Docking at ports with rubber boots
- Direct pipe couplings and pipe chains made from multiple segments
- Transfer between tankers and operation with nurse tanks
- Conduit (PTO) pump trailer for transferring from one chain to another
- Pressure model with vacuum, high-volume-pump and open-top vessel types
- Slurry physics: slurry thickens and crusts, and may block spreaders; mixing or adding water keeps it flowing
- Dribble bars and band spreaders with blockage detection for each outlet and a spreader HUD
- Support for fertiliser / herbicide sprayers
- Water intake from lakes and ponds on the map
- Optional PTO shear bolt
- Pipes with colours saved for each game
- Works with LIQUIDMANURE and DIGESTATE
- Multiplayer compatible
Controls:
- Pump On/Off: starts the pump and is required before any pumped flow.
- Pipe Valve: opens the pipe circuit so it can fill or discharge.
- Spreader Valve: opens discharge from the spreader.
- Direction: changes between filling and discharging.
Compatible with: Manual Attach
Changelog
This includes every change made since version V1.0.1.9. Existing save games remain usable without changes.
For the complete list, see the file RELEASE_NOTES_V1.0.2.0.md included with the mod.
New additions:
- Pressure and vacuum: Vacuum tanks keep their vacuum, and that vacuum controls the liquid flow. This covers suction through high-capacity pump lines, backpressure while applying, and pulling slurry from a pit through an open hose or pipe end.
- Pressure gauges have been added to the Supercis 800 and Kaweco Profi 2 models.
- Chemical mixing and cleaning: The sprayer mixes concentrates with water, while the concentration remains consistent through the complete system, including tanks and lines, until application in the field. Contaminated sprayers also have a multi-stage cleaning process, together with a placeable cleaning station.
- New SPS-compatible vehicles: MKS 8 Dual Tank, 550 Water/Chem Bowser, Supercis 800, Kotte FRC 65, and Amazone UX5201 Super.
- Water and suction strainers: If a hose or pipe end is submerged in a lake, river, pond, or watercourse, water is drawn only through a suitable strainer, with small strainers for water/milk and large ones for slurry. A dedicated mount lets these strainers be carried on the vehicle.
- Leaks and spills from lines: Hose or pipe ends left open on the ground can leak and form puddles.
- Reach and coupling radius now use unified standards at all connection points.
- Settings menu: All SPS options are now gathered in one central location. New guide:
SPS_README_08_New_in_1.0.2.0.md.
Fixed issues:
- The spray jet on the washout device (washout boom) now displays correctly when “Soil & Fertilizer” chemicals are used.
- “Soil & Fertilizer” IBC containers can once again connect to water pipes and spray hoses.
- Picking up a suction strainer or a stowed hose at the MKS 8 connection point is possible again.
- Tank-opening couplings can now also be used in “physical pipe mode.”
- The cleaning station handle now follows the valve correctly, even without a connected hose.
