Filling water

[Malikius_1959]

How do I fill the water machine for irrigating my crops? I detailed instructions beings I'm a newbie.

[TheOriginalMark:-)]

I don't know what machine you mean but irrigating crops? Not a thing in Farming Simulator, crops just need fertiliser, lime (unless you turn the option off) the just grow.

Maybe they mean a Greenhouse. Maybe they are asking how to fill a water tanker. There are a couple of ways. You can buy a water sell point or you can collect it for free from ponds or rivers. When you are near it or in it a trigger will pop up telling you to hit a certain key to begin filling.
I don't think a Mod even exists that adds irrigation.

There is one water "irrigation" mod on ModHub but that looks like it's just a fertilizer replacement - as in: you can "fertilize" by spraying "water."

AFAIK, even in that mod the mechanical side stays the same as always. You approach a valid water source, option to refill shows up and you either buy or refill for free and drive to your unload point/field.

Please note that some old modded maps may have badly/wrong configured water planes (like was in No Mans Land) and you have to use refill stations to gain water.

On vanilla maps you should be able to fill your tanks (as long as the tool accepts water: make sure it has water symbol listed when you look it at the store page!) from any river that has actual water. Those slightly moist ditches do not count as that water is just a texture.
