FS17 mods / Farming Simulator 17 mods

An overhaul to the weather system, focusing mainly on snow.
Features:

– Adds 3 new “disaster” weather events, blizzards, droughts and extremely thick fog
– New grass moisture system which dries tedded grass into hay over time
– 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

– Grass Moisture System:
— After tedding mowed grass, it will dry into hay over time based on its moisture
— Tedded grass has its own individual moisture content based on the moisture of the field when it was mowed
— Tedded grass will gain/lose moisture at different rates than fields
— New info box when standing on tedded grass, showing its moisture, required moisture, and whether it needs to be tedded (currently disabled on MP)
— Please bear in mind that this feature in its current state may cause lag on lower-end systems or on extremely large fields

Version 1.1.2.6:
