FS25_LiquidManureTransfer

A Farming Simulator 25 mod that automatically transfers liquid manure from animal husbandries into nearby production points that use it as an input — for example a biogas plant connected directly to a cow barn. No more slurry tanker shuttle runs between the barn and the plant.

How it works

Once per in-game hour (on the server), the mod:

1. Collects all production points that have liquid manure as a production input (e.g. a biogas plant). Productions that merely have a storage slot for liquid manure but no recipe consuming it are ignored.
2. For every animal husbandry with a liquid manure output, finds those productions that
   • belong to the same farm as the husbandry, and
   • are within the configured transfer range (distance between the two buildings).
3. Moves as much liquid manure as possible from the husbandry into the production's input storage, nearest production first, limited only by the target's free capacity.

Settings

The mod adds a Liquid Manure Transfer section to Ingame → Game Settings:

Setting	Values	Default
Transfer range	100 m – 1000 m in 100 m steps	300 m
Log level	Error / Warning / Info / Debug	Info

At Info level an hourly summary is logged when something was transferred; Debug additionally logs every individual husbandry → production transfer with amount and distance.

Settings are stored in modSettings/FS25_LiquidManureTransfer.xml in your game profile folder.

Multiplayer

Fully multiplayer compatible:

• When a client changes a setting, it is sent to the server, applied there, and broadcast to all other clients.
• Newly joining clients receive the current server settings automatically, so the settings menu always shows the server state.
• The transfer itself only runs on the server; fill levels reach the clients through the game's normal storage synchronization.

Console commands

Command	Description
lmtPrintSettings	Print the current settings
lmtSetDistance <100-1000>	Set the transfer range in meters
lmtSetLogLevel <1-4>	Set the log level (1=Error, 2=Warning, 3=Info, 4=Debug)
lmtTransferNow	Run a transfer pass immediately (server only, useful for testing)
