Re: What are some really good maps ?

Absolutely agreed. I've downloaded and tried just about every mod map out there for 2013, and 99% of them are ruined for me by just one or two little things. The majority of them make me lose interest due to either general clutter, or rediculously cramped spaces around the courtyard. Why make a huge...

Re: liquid manure / greenhouse manure

Haha, there are definitely different approaches to playing the game. Part of the charm of sandbox type games. I've played many games of FS, but only three got really serious. The first one I played green, and was happy to do baling and poo flinging fertilising and all the rest -- just so I got the f...

Re: Cow farming, What do i need?

That will just spread silage and which bale you put in to get mixed feed you need straw hay and silage Yup. The Kuhn SPV holds 12k. Bales are 4200. You can used between 27.5% and 72.5% of hay and silage, and from 0 to 40% straw. So one bale each straw+hay, then top up with silage - or you could do ...

Re: What is the size of all the farm land combined on map?

I'm not a developer - but if it's a texture issue, could you use the GE and a mod (or the default) texture of that type to change it, and maybe that could allow you to load the map?

Re: liquid manure / greenhouse manure

Because it takes forever to use, and the spray is cheap as. For 1k worth of spray, you can cover several fields very very quickly, whereas the slurry you'll have to drive back and forth a few times to fill it up (not to mention the cost of the slurry wagons). In the time it takes to do all of that, ...

Re: growing corn

I'm not sure I understand what problem you are having, but if it helps: 1) to harvest corn you need a special corn cutter head for the havester. Costs about 60k for the default one - the description says it's for the Duetz 4565 but it will fit on any harvester. There are also mod corn cutters. 2) To...

Re: Futterlager

I always took the "cliff diving" approach on the way to the biogas and freight yards. There's no damage, and it's a bit of a kick to take 40 tons of tractor-trailer over cliffs. Doesn't help on the way back, tho.

Re: What is the size of all the farm land combined on map?

I really like the Big Europeon Map, just wish it had the feed shed. I get tired of hassling with bales. I picked up a couple mods (they *might* have come with the Project Extreme IV map I downloaded) - balers that talk (In German) about using quad-compression technology or some such. They're pretty...

Re: Dark Patch Glitch

Aside from Baalzebub in post two (/wave Isycz!) - I'm guessing you had a fairly wide planter/cultivator and this is a field that's not flat. The big ones miss spots due to curvature (I get it a lot using a 15m sower on the 2 rivers map). Most of the time going over the area manually at different ang...

Re: Backing UP

I usually email myself a copy of the savegame1 file at work so I can play over lunch break. Added benefit of doing this is that my dolly trailers are all perfectly aligned to parking spots and load/unload triggers.

Re: when to use fertilzer?

tl:dr version -- you can spray FS2013 crops 1 second before harvesting them, and the yield doubles. It's unrealistic.

Re: liquid manure / greenhouse manure

I'm on a break from the game after my 5k cow adventure - but am considering one last good go once I find a really interesting new map to play. As part of that, I'm considering finding the fertiliser price and raising it substantially to give some form of incentive to use liquid manure. First game I ...
