Transporting Silage

Post by NickelPlate »

Anybody figure out a way to move silage? The fermented chaff stuff that is. I had the idea to use the biogas bunkers to create silage and the plan was to use it not only at the biogas plant but as a way to store and transport to the cattle farm when needed. However it doesn't appear any of the trailers in the game (that I can find) will accept silage, only chaff. I tried dumping into them using the wheeled loader but the stuff just disappears.

I think this question has been asked and people said the feeder mixer things were the only way unless you change a modded trailer. Also there is no place to dump it(other than the trough) after you load it in a trailer I am pretty sure. Although one person said you could dump it in the one concrete thing at the cow farm others have said it doesnt work.

The only trailers that will transport silage are mods. Also, I just tested it out and you can't transport silage from one bunker to another with a trailer. It MUST be moved by shovel because of the way the shovels empty themselves. There is just no trigger to empty a tipper in the bunker when silage is there.

Can't transport silage from Biogas bunkers to Cow bunker as there is no trigger as mentioned above. You could use a modded trailer that accepts silage to dump silage to the sheep feeders, that works. *thumbsup*

Thanks for the answers guys. I figured there wasn't a way without mods.
