Water sprayer/cannon

[CruellaDeville]

Do anyone know about a way to get a water cannon/sprayer and to get dry seasons? I don`t wan`t those big watering irrigation systems, just water sprayers with circular motions like they use in Norway. More climate crisis would bring more realisme in the game, something that is actually a challenge these days in the real world

I would love this as DLC or when a new FS comes out. Irrigation is a big issue with the droughts we are having more and more. Would be neat if rain or drought would also impact yield on fields.

I totally agree with you Rick

i would like that too.

Lets just keep thinking shall we because depending on how much it rains (or not) we could have different field states.

if it doesn't rain for a certain amount of time. field state: dry
if it rains for a certain short time. field state: damp/moist
if it rains for a certain medium time. field state: wet
it if rains for a long time: flooded/muddy

Dry
Would need rain or water sprayer to get the yield up. The dry soil is harder to penetrate wich could make cultivating, plowing and seeding equipment wear a tiny bit faster. Also more dust

Damp/Moist
This might be similar to what you have now when all field requirements like plowing, lime, fertilizer, rolling are met.

Wet
Still allright, but with a slightly negative impact on yield

Flooded
Slows down cultivating/plowing because of all the mud build up in the equipment and/or slipping tires. Would also impact crop yield because crops get to much water.
Also equipment like tractors and (combine) harvesters might get stuck, but this might require actual ground simulation kinda like Spin Tires/Mudrunner has, might be to much for now

This suggestion is perfect Rick. And making a mod or something for a water cannon. I can send pictures of the ones that is beeing used here in Norway

As well as when it is to wet or dry for longer periods of time, crops can wither, get rotten or die because of flooding and drying heat. Just as in real life. Not only how it affects equipment, but it schould do it as well
