Can't load manure at cattle barn

[mrnascar]

I have about 20.000 of solid manure showing on the PDA (animals page), but there is nothing showing up in the solid manure heap area on the map (Goldcrest), and I cannot access it with a loader. What am I doing wrong? (I looked at the map.i3d in GE, and saw no manure plane or shovel trigger associated with the area where the heap is supposed to be, so i'm really puzzled) any guidance much appreciated!

I dont quite understand what your problem is.

Cows or pigs?

My problem is with the cows - The PDA shows I have 20k of manure I could use for fertilizing, but I cannot find where to pick it up with a frontloader shovel to transfer it to transfer it to a manure spreader. There is no sign of a manure plane in the manure loading area by the cowbarn in game from which I could pull material with a shovel. I looked at the map in GE, and there is no sign of a plane or trigger in that area, so I'm flummoxed...

Where exactly do you think it should show up?

manure should appear by field 28

Thanks - I found it and it works ok on ORIGINAL Goldcrest. (I left out one important detail - i moved the cow husbandry area closer to the main farm.) When I go into the original Goldcrest - it works fine - heap is accessible in the manure pit. In my revised version, there is no sign of manure by field 28 or in the moved pit. I'm still not sure what the mechanism is in the script that causes it to accumulate in the right place, as there is no manure plane or trigger in GE in the pit area, even in the original map when I look at it in the sdk/data files.. it must be in the script somewhere, and that's beyond me... I'd like to fix it on my modded version as cattle and milk are the parts I enjoy most. Ideas anyone? Thoughts much appreciated. I'll take a look at the pig area to see if tere are any clues there as to what it should look like in GE...

theres most likely an invisible object where manure appears on original goldcrest which is the plane where it appears

Thanks, I did solve the problem - it was the fact that i'd changed the orientstion of the barn, without changing the orirntation of the heap trigger. It'd working now,
