Straw Harvest allows you to enter the pellet industry, including a versatile industry hall for storage and processing and, of course, new machines and vehicles.

Oops console version shortly? End of the week?

A last minute bug was found requiring a game patch. Expected to take around two weeks:

Even though we had intense testing on our DLC StrawHarvest a major bug was able to hide from us and we found it only this thursday. This bug could result into corrupt savegames and we don´t want that to happen. After a couple of stressfull days we were able to fix it just in time for PC and Mac version. For the console version however the fixes need to be added via a game patch.

GIANTS Software managed to get a slot for a patch, the fixes still need to be validated which can take about one to two weeks. Sorry for the delay.

Release for PC and Mac version is still on 7th of April.

The order of saving height types (fruit types) sadly isn't guaranteed by the game, so loading on an existing savegame might result into swapped fill types on the ground.
However this is no issue when you load the mods (e.g. Seasons and Straw Harvest) on a new save game.

To be clear it happens to ANY mod that registers new height types on existing saves. BUT this is not an issue that is caused by those mods.

To solve:
1) Remove all non-standard height types (heaps) that are on the ground (snow, salt.. whatever mods you have.). After that activate SH, then it should be all fine.
2) Remap the tipTypeMappings in the densityMapHeight.xml of your savegame. (set the correct index on the fill types like it was before).
NOTE: this will only work once, when you re-enter the game first clear or process the heaps you have and after that you can save and restart your savegame with the new mods (e.g. SH)
3) Or as mentioned in the support channel, you can delete the terrainDetailHeight_density.gdm of your savegame.
But be CAREFUL, this will delete all content in the silos or other heaps. We are not responsible of your loss!

The bug has been forwarded to Giants and will be on the list of fixes for the next game.

Note: this issue is not necessary bound to the max allowed height types.

Is the hay pellet problem with seasons going to be fixed in this installment? The primos would say hay bale not supported when seasons is active.

[eric21]

It doesn't work with seasons

[Illinois Farmer]

The straw part of it does.

My hay bales have been successful. Start hay making in the middle of summer, color is the surest sign of readiness. The meter is expensive and does not always work. I have warder at the field with a baler If you move the hay too early, it begins to disappear strangely from the field. I wish dry hay weather.
