How and Where to Get Water in Farming Simulator 25
Water is perhaps the most important thing in farming: and of course, it’s incredibly important in Farming Simulator 25 as well. For both growing crops in greenhouses, raising livestock, and much more, you will need plenty of water to keep your farm going.
In this article, we will take a deeper look at sourcing water for your farm in Farming Simulator 25. This means finding the right sources, using suitable equipment, as well as the correct storage and transportation.
What equipment will you need?
Not much equipment is needed to get water. At the most basic level, you will need a tractor, and any suitable water tank your tractor will handle and transport. There is no difference in brand, but you will need to make sure that the tank has a pump that can be used to transfer water. Alternatively, you can transport your water using a truck. Some models already come with tanks. There are no “correct” options either – if the tank holds liquid and has a way to transport it, it works just fine.
However, we do recommend choosing a tank that’s a little too big, rather than the one that’s too small. The water needs for your farm will increase as you grow, and a smaller tank means many boring round trips. Another recommendation would be to pick a tank that has a forced discharge system, so it can be used to transport other liquids as well, and not just water.
The required equipment can be found in the “Tools” — “Animals” section in the shop. We won’t give any specific recommendations – as most of them will differ in size only. And of course, while choosing a tank, don’t forget your tractor as well. Water is heavy, so make sure your tractor can handle it.
Where do you get the water from?
Now, the second important question is sourcing – where to get water from in FS25? There are plenty of options you can choose from, depending on your needs and location.
First up is the water tower. It’s fast, simple, convenient, but sadly: it’s also quite expensive. For larger farms operating just within the margins, sourcing water from towers is not the smartest choice. Especially considering that there are plenty of ways to get water completely free of charge.
For that, of course, you will need to find a body of water. It’s in your farm, and you can use it exactly as you wish! This free source is excellent for watering your crops and giving to your animals.
Here is how you get free water on Farming Simulator 25:
- Hop into your tractor. Drive it to your water tank, and press Q to attach.
- Open the map, and find the nearest water source. Anything will do – such as a lake, river, pond, or even a pretty large puddle.
- Reverse to get the tank as close to the water as possible. Make sure you don’t drive into it!
- Look for the prompt on the screen, offering you to press the key and fill up the tank with water. Press the button.
- Wait for the filling up process to complete, and head back to your farm.
Yes, this is as simple as that. You don’t need to spend money to get water, if there’s plenty of water in your farm. Also, in some maps, you might even be able to find completely free water towers: but that will depend on the map you are playing.
Hopefully, this was helpful – this is how you get water in Farming Simulator 25, to help you grow crops and raise your animals.
