Slurry Pipe System V1.0.1.8 FS25

Slurry Pipe System V1.0.1.8 FS25

---

Realistic physical slurry pipe system for Farming Simulator 2025.

Replaces vanilla “drive into a trigger and fill” mechanics with a tactile system where you physically connect tanker fill arms or pipe chains, run a PTO-driven pump, build pressure, control flow direction, and watch slurry move through real plumbing — with a slurry that actually thickens, crusts and blocks if you neglect it.

What it does
Plumbing & transfer
Fill arms swung out of the tanker by joystick into open slurry pits or rubber boot ports on buildings and other vehicles.
Pipe chains — multi-segment pipes laid by walking from one coupler toward another, locked into place when both ends overlap valid couplings.
Direct bez pipes — a single connecting pipe between two nearby couplers, for quick pump transfers between a tanker and a building.
Conduit pump (PTO Slurry Pump) — a passive pump trailer that lets two pipe chains transfer through it.
Animated couplers and valves — clamp handles close on connect, valve wheels rotate on open.
Coloured pipes — pick from a palette per pipe segment, stored per save.
Multi-fill-type support — works with LIQUIDMANURE and DIGESTATE; transfers automatically pick whichever fill type is actually present.

Pumps & pressure
Pump types — vacuum (stored ±bar pressure model with a gauge), HVP high-volume pump, conduit pump station, and openTop passive vessels (e.g. nurse tanks).
Pressure model — vacuum tankers build, hold, taper and purge a stored charge that drives fill and discharge; spread behaviour scales with pressure rather than a simple on/off.
PTO shear bolt (opt-in) — wears and snaps under load while turning with the PTO engaged; walk-up hold-to-repair.
Slurry that behaves like slurry

Thickness / dry matter — slurry thickens as dry matter concentrates; thickness affects flow and spread.
Crust & blockages — an unmixed store crusts over the season; crusted, lumpy slurry can block spreader outlets and the macerator. Mixing clears the risk; adding water dilutes thick slurry.
Agitation — a manager-driven agitator works on any registered vehicle with an agitator tip node, no specialization required.
Water intake — fill arms can draw water straight from map lakes and ponds wherever the map provides SPS water planes.
Spreading

Dribble bars & band spreaders — per-outlet blockage modelling, distributor macerator, and a spreader HUD.
Fertiliser/herbicide sprayers — load liquid fertiliser or herbicide through the same coupler-and-pipe system via a dedicated sprayer integration, operated from a single walk-up pump control. No pressure model on sprayers — flow is a flat rate.

V1.0.1.8
Physical hoses, PLC docking station, PLC tower mixer, and numerous troubleshooting tasks.

Newly added
Physical hoses: Hoses can be purchased, carried, connected, and manually connected to each other (as an alternative to permanently installed lines). A dedicated shop page is available for each hose type: slurry/water/milk, 4 m or 6 m lengths, various connectors, and colors.
To release stuck hoses (left Alt key + F while holding a hose): The hose can be moved through vehicles until released.
Hose holders are available on tank trucks and the SPS docking station (mobile connection point).
SPS tower mixer: A slurry lagoon agitator with an integrated pump for filling tank trucks.
Flow indicators for pumps (PTO pump, tower mixer) include an indication of the reasons for pump stoppages; the flow rate is also displayed in the tank truck’s HUD.
Water and milk can be transported via hoses (connections with valves, gravity flow, transfer between tank trucks); support is provided for the central cow barn (SPS) as well as for fertilizer/herbicide silos.
Hoses, docking station, PTO pump, and tower mixer are subject to dirt and wear; they can be cleaned with a pressure washer.
Custom waterways can be drawn in the build menu.
Bug fixes

Multiplayer: Synchronization of valves, pumps, and connections; joining players receive the correct status; PLC settings can only be changed by an administrator; other farms cannot operate your equipment.
Shear bolt status is saved; the floating layer in slurry lagoons is now synchronized per lagoon; Gea/Vector cow barns use their own configuration; hose holder added for the Farmtech SuperCis 800.
Shop: “Slurry Technology” category, “PLC Slurry Set,” cameras, and hose previews.
Changes

More organized log (routine messages moved to the “Info” debug channel), download size reduced by approximately 50 MB, lower processing load per frame.
