A complete remaster of Irrigation Paths: dynamic water paths, humidity system, fertilizer spreading and drought effects
Watering Path V2
💧 **Watering Path V2** expands Stardew Valley's farming system by introducing water paths, rice paths, moisture management, drought effects, and fertilizer diffusion, bringing a more realistic farming experience!
---
🌊 Main functions
Water Path and Rice Path
- Create **water paths** connected to sprinklers
- Water paths moisten nearby soil, but moisture decreases with distance
- Create a **Rice Path** by farming the same plot twice, which when connected to a water path provides special growth effects for crops such as rice
💦 Humidity system
- Each soil plot has a moisture value from **0 to 100**
- Moisture is affected by sprinklers, water paths and adjacent wet soil
- If there is no moisture in the soil, crop growth will stop
🌱 Fertilizer diffusion
- Fertilizer applied to water paths spreads to nearby soil
- Quality, speed and retention fertilizers can all be spread, the range of effect depends on the humidity intensity
🌾 Effect of crop humidity
- Crops react differently depending on their status: **Normal/Dry/Overwet**
- If the soil is completely dry for a long time, the crop will eventually wilt
☀️ Drought System
- **Consecutive dry days (no rain, snow or storms)** trigger a drought
- After a drought begins, crops planted in dry soil will wilt if the soil remains dry for **9 days**
- Watering, sprinklers or water paths reset the drought counter for that soil
- Unconnected soil dries faster during drought (configurable in settings)
🎯 Convenient functions
- Hover over the soil to view prompt information on moisture value, rice path status, fertilizer type and diffusion effect**

🚀 Planning function
✨ Upcoming content:
- Crop specific moisture needs
- New fertilizer types (e.g. fertilizers that promote fruit growth)
- Farm-wide humidity overview interface
- Visual effects of glowing water paths at night
- Seasonal changes affect water path dispersion range

⚙️ GMCM settings
This module supports **General Module Configuration Menu (GMCM)**, allowing you to easily adjust settings in the game!
Rice path conversion
- Minimum humidity required for rice path conversion
- Minimum humidity threshold
- Extra humidity bonus when converting to rice paths
- Humidity bonus for adjacent plots
Humidity and drying speed
- Drying speed of unconnected soil
- Extra drying speed during drought
Drought system
- Enable or disable drought penalty
-Number of rain-free days before drought begins
- Number of dry days before crops wilt during drought
Miscellaneous settings
- Display soil prompt information
---
📥 Installation and use
- **SMAPI** is required
- Place the mod into your `Mods` folder and launch the game
- If you have GMCM installed, you can configure settings directly in the game
🎮Enjoy a more realistic farming experience and make your farm management more precise and interesting!
Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
