I had no idea until a couple of days ago that those are all mods for the PC guys only. I'm sure this is probably listed in the forum somewhere but to avoid spending hours searching, can you tell me if there's any way to get these mods working on the consoles? I have a few of the mods available and they're really cool. But I would LOVE to mine or build bridges or roads. It would add a ton of replay ability. Anyone know? Thanks so much!
No special things for consoles, whatever mods are available are to be downloaded in the ingame download center.

You need to enable the development controls: https://gdn.giants-software.com/documen ... erview.php (the following video might also help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzFBWRN5zH8)

When this is enabled you can open the developer console in-game and see the log and do some other useful things.

If it goes in the water there's not a lot you can do but if it turns over a wheelloader or maybe even a front loader can probably turn it back over. Not trying to be smart but slow down a little bit if it happens regularly.

Well on pic you might get a chance with the tow bar mod, but it can be fiddly.
If it is turned over to disconnect trailer and tractor helps most of the time or to detach the holding straps can help as well. You need to reload but you keep your goods

If it's just a river, you may be able to push it up onto the bank and then reset the vehicle you were pushing with

Is there a way to strengthen my grab? Or a mod? Even moving small logs my guy likes to randomly let go and let things fly.

I have seen on several Utube videos a list of owned equipment pops up on screen. Then the operator scrolls through the list and whichever vehicle he selects he goes to that vehicle. How do you get the list to come up? I am on PC.

You press the ESC button and the help menu opens op. If you don't see the map you can browse through the Pages with The upper right (forward) or upper left( backward) arrows until you see the map. In the lower right part of the window you see your vehicles and stuff. You browse by clicking left at the item before or behind the vehicle in thr middle.

If you want to have a mod for that I use this one https://fs-uk.com/mods/view/38247/vehiclegroupsswitcher
You can sort the vehicles ( with engine) in the categories by pressing left ctrl+E and sort them with your cursor up and down keys. After that pressing again ctrl+E you hold the left ctrl key and chose the group number on you keyboard. If you have more than one in a group you tip the group number till you arrived at your vehicle.
I use as example for combine, overloader and the truck with semi at harvest. You could also put your sprayer or sewing, plots and cultivater in one group the work on the same field.
