a revision to the weather system that prioritizes 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

Changelog: 1.1.2.3 Added dynamic puddles that develop at high moisture levels, expand or decrease according to the moisture content of the soil, and then gently flow downward.
Rather of leaving blank areas, withering crops are now shown as wilted.
The following settings options have been added:
Turn on or off puddles
Modifier for grass moisture gain
Modifier for grass moisture loss
The moisture screen now has a teleport button.
After changing from restricted to comprehensive irrigation information, several cells on the moisture screen now display it. Ukrainian translation was added.
1.1.0.2 – Resolved a problem that caused some mods to freeze the game; Resolved sprayers not increasing the moisture of every intended cell; Resolved sprayers not having a visible water spray effect; Resolved wrapped bales being affected by rain; Potentially resolved the game occasionally freezing while saving; Reduced the volume of some ambient sounds; Reduced the cost of passive irrigation; Sprayers are now restricted to fields; Reduced water usage of sprayers; Increased moisture gain through passive irrigation and spraying – Reduced passive moisture loss – Harvesting contracts should now take withering and varying moisture values across the field into account.
1.1.0.1 – Adjusted irrigation prices and quantities 1.1.0.0; Fixed irrigation context button vanishing after leaving a vehicle; Fixed irrigation beginning when hitting appropriate keybind in a vehicle; Fixed overloading being deactivated
– Added new cell system covering the entire map, each cell has its own unique moisture and moisture retention based on surrounding cells (cells are 4×4 up to 15×15 depending on PC specs)
– Re-enabled and improved crop withering at low moisture
– Crops can now wither in small patches based on their cell’s moisture
– Crops now have a fluctuating percentage of withering every 4 hours
– Added 2 new irrigation systems; field irrigation through the context menu (paid daily), and irrigation using sprayers
– Sprayers can now be filled with water which will give 4x as much moisture when irrigating
– Added automatic grass -> hay drying based on moisture, further details above
– Bales left outside during rain will now slowly lose content based on rainfall amount
– Added 12 new ambient sounds, including new sounds for blizzards, different rain amounts, hail, birds and crickets
– Reduced moisture requirements for sugarcane and sugarbeet
– Fixed moisture not being synced on MP
– Fixed certain weather events not being synced on MP
– Fixed “attempt to index nil with ‘temperature'” error
