Plysken Irrigation Pipes

Automate Your Farming with Plysken Irrigation Pipes for Project Zomboid

Tired of the endless chore of hand-watering your crops in Project Zomboid? Introducing Plysken Irrigation Pipes, a comprehensive mod designed to bring automation and efficiency to your agricultural endeavors. This mod offers a sophisticated solution, allowing you to construct a network of pipes that draws water from your rain collectors and barrels, ensuring your crops are consistently hydrated without any manual intervention.

Effortless Crop Care

The core of Plysken Irrigation Pipes is its intuitive design. You can craft the pipes using readily available materials like metal pipes, hammers, and screwdrivers. Once crafted, placing them is simple: select your desired pipe shape—line, corner, T, or cross—and place it on the ground or existing floors. These pipes seamlessly connect to each other and to vanilla rain collectors, forming a functional network.

Key features of the Plysken Irrigation Pipes system include:

• Automatic watering of farming plots within the pipe network’s radius.
• Intelligent “Smart Pipes” that deliver the optimal amount of water to each plant, preventing waste.
• A shared water pool system where connected barrels balance their water levels automatically.
• An integrated “Fertigation” system that automatically fertilizes crops using compost or fertilizer poured into rain collectors.

Advanced Farming with Fertigation

Building upon the core watering functionality, Plysken Irrigation Pipes introduces an advanced “Fertigation” system. This feature allows you to directly influence the nutrient levels of your crops. By adding bags of fertilizer or compost to connected rain collectors, the pipe network will distribute a single, safe dose to each watered plant. The system prioritizes renewable compost before using stored fertilizer, ensuring efficient resource management. You can easily check the status of your barrels and crops by right-clicking on them.

Visualize and Customize Your Network

A helpful “Network View” feature allows you to visualize your entire irrigation system. Right-clicking on any pipe will highlight all connected pipes and barrels in a distinct color, along with a summary of the network’s capacity and components. Furthermore, the mod offers extensive sandbox options, enabling you to fine-tune various aspects of the system, including watering intervals, radius, smart pipe behavior, and the effectiveness of the fertigation system based on a simulated farming skill.

Plysken Irrigation Pipes is designed for seamless integration into both single-player and multiplayer experiences, including dedicated servers. It requires Project Zomboid Build 42 and does not rely on any other mods. This mod is safe to add to existing saves, with new items appearing in explored areas after installation.
