Slurry Pipe System replaces vanilla drive-in slurry filling with a realistic physical pipe and pump system. Connect fill arms or pipes to a slurry source, run a PTO-driven pump, build pressure, and control the flow before anything moves.
Features
- Open-pit fill arms with slurry surface detection
- Rubber boot port docking
- Multi-segment pipe chains and direct pipe couplings
- Tanker-to-tanker transfer and nurse tank operation
- Conduit (PTO) pump trailer for chain-to-chain transfer
- Pressure model: vacuum, high-volume-pump and open-top vessel types
- Slurry physics: it thickens, crusts and can block spreaders; mix or add water to keep it flowing
- Dribble bars and band spreaders with per-outlet blockage and a spreader HUD
- Fertiliser / herbicide sprayer support
- Water intake from map lakes and ponds
- Optional PTO shear bolt
- Coloured pipes, saved per game
- Works with LIQUIDMANURE and DIGESTATE
- Multiplayer compatible
Controls:
- Pump On/Off: starts the pump. Required before any pumped flow.
- Pipe Valve: opens the pipe circuit for filling or discharging.
- Spreader Valve: opens the spreader discharge.
- Direction: switches between fill and discharge.
Compatible with: Manual Attach
Changelog
Covers all changes since version V1.0.1.9. Existing save games can continue to be used without any changes.
The full list can be found in the file RELEASE_NOTES_V1.0.2.0.md included with the mod.
New additions:
- Pressure and vacuum: Vacuum tanks maintain their vacuum, which dictates the flow of liquid. This includes suction via high-capacity pump lines, backpressure during application, and drawing slurry from a pit using an open hose or pipe end.
- Pressure gauges: Added to the Supercis 800 and Kaweco Profi 2 models.
- Chemical mixing and cleaning: Concentrates are mixed with water within the sprayer; the concentration is maintained throughout the entire system (tanks, lines) all the way to application in the field. Also includes a multi-stage cleaning process for contaminated sprayers, as well as a placeable cleaning station.
- New SPS-compatible vehicles: MKS 8 Dual Tank, 550 Water/Chem Bowser, Supercis 800, Kotte FRC 65, and Amazone UX5201 Super.
- Water and suction strainers: When a hose or pipe end is submerged in a lake, river, pond, or watercourse, water can only be drawn in through an appropriate strainer (small strainers for water/milk, large ones for slurry). These strainers can be carried on the vehicle using a dedicated mount.
- Leaks and spills from lines: Open hose or pipe ends left on the ground may leak, creating puddles.
- Unified standards for reach and coupling radius across all connection points.
- Settings menu: All SPS options are now consolidated in one central location. New guide:
SPS_README_08_New_in_1.0.2.0.md.
Fixed issues:
- The spray jet on the washout device (washout boom) is now displayed correctly even when using “Soil & Fertilizer” chemicals.
- “Soil & Fertilizer” IBC containers can once again be connected to water pipes and spray hoses.
- It is now possible again to pick up a suction strainer or a stowed hose at the connection point of the MKS 8.
- Couplings at tank openings can now also be used in “physical pipe mode.”
- The handle at the cleaning station now correctly follows the valve, even when no hose is connected.
