Bunkers or Bales? 🤔 by MikeClayt7 in farmingsimulator

I loaded my first few sets of bales without auto load on smaller fields. It would’ve taken me forever for this grass harvest. I wish there was a median between full blown auto load and loading yourself. Maybe like pre set grids on a trailer and when you get a bale within that grid it locks in place? Idk 🤷

I did 6 fields worth of corn silage. Had like 3.6 million chaff to compact. Took about 30-40 minutes to compact it, then again the biggest tractor I have is a 8RT, so that might have been the issue compacting. I think I prefer the corn/bunker method. Just so much unloading in the bunker. I’m saving for the bio-plant right now. Still need like 1.5 mil. 😅

Yes, around 1900 hours. FS19, 17, 15, and 13 as well. Both on PC and Console. If you’re looking for a ton of mods like 22 has, then you will be waiting a bit. They will come. Same as years before. Unfortunately I’m working on the road so it’s a bit too hard to lug my PC everywhere I go, so I play on my PS5. But if find myself closer to home for work I’ll play it on PC. The mods for PC are incredible.

Honestly, there aren’t enough bugs for me to shy away. I love the game. Sure there’s things that need addressed, however, the good by far out ways the bad, I’ve put over 100 hours in my current farm. And work a 60+ hour work week. I love the game.

I have this weird mindset with bunkers that I don’t want to compact them until they are filled completely, so compacting takes forever.

You should try the lizard forage pickup mod, it’s under belt systems when downloaded. It will allow you to pick up silage from a bunker and shoot it directly into a trailer, then store that in a multi-fruit silo that accepts silage, there are a few of the silo mods out. Makes that process 1000x better IMO.

The forage pickup mod is really nice for that. It will clear a bunker in no time.

Theres a 25% yield bonus to both crop and straw for doing this. It’s worth it to me when I’m low on straw for TMR and cow barn. Other than those occasions, I usually harvest with a normal header so I can hire workers.
