Dairy feed mix

[bluebelly83]

I wonder if it would be possible to alter the mix on the total mixed ration at all. I think it would be cool to have a dairy mix that would increase the milk production (like dairy farmers do in real life) that has corn in it. Maybe a mix based in corn and oats?

Is this possible to mod the quantities in the mixers? OR would we need a new mixer for this?

Thanks for considering it.

I think the base game would need to be modified to accept these as feeds for said animals, maybe in FS21 they could consider this and have different breeds of cows, some for Beef production and some for Dairy.

If you are on pc the cattle breeds mod does this, farmer klein reviewed it on his channel.

Yep Cattle Breeds is a great mod. Really adds to the cows.

The dairy mix is defined in the mixer wagon. You can add any additional crop to the feed mix.
Two changes have to be done in the mixer wagons xml file:

Step 1- Adding the additional crop to the filltypes (example):

Code: Select all

        <fillUnitConfigurations>
            <fillUnitConfiguration name="$l10n_configuration_valueDefault" price="0">
                <fillUnits>
                    <fillUnit unit="$l10n_unit_literShort" fillTypes="forage forage_mixing dryGrass_windrow silage straw canola wheat" capacity="16000">
                        <exactFillRootNode node="exactFillRootNode"/>
                    </fillUnit>
                </fillUnits>
            </fillUnitConfiguration>
        </fillUnitConfigurations>

Step 2 - Adding the additional crops to the feed mix (example):

Code: Select all

        <mixerWagonFillTypes>
            <mixerWagonFillType minPercentage="20" maxPercentage="75" name="dryGrass">
                <fillType fillType="dryGrass_windrow" />
            </mixerWagonFillType>
            <mixerWagonFillType minPercentage="20" maxPercentage="75" name="silage">
                <fillType fillType="silage" />
            </mixerWagonFillType>
            <mixerWagonFillType minPercentage="10" maxPercentage="35" name="straw">
                <fillType fillType="straw" />
            </mixerWagonFillType>
	    <mixerWagonFillType minPercentage="0" maxPercentage="30" name="canola">
               <fillType fillType="canola" />
		 </mixerWagonFillType>
            <mixerWagonFillType minPercentage="0" maxPercentage="30" name="wheat">
                <fillType fillType="wheat"/>
            </mixerWagonFillType>
        </mixerWagonFillTypes>
