Forage Harvesters & Headers - How to set for Straw Swath?

Post by TheGazbeard »

Hi everyone - desperate for a little help here as I'm completely stuck.

I'm trying to set up forage harvesters and their pickup headers to collect straw swaths for filling non-loading wagons such as semi-truch trailers (it's a capacity and speed thing). I've seen wiki pages that say forage harvesters can pick up straw swaths if they have the right header.

I can't get it to work though :(

I've found the relevant entries in
/maps/maps_fillTypes.xml <fillTypeCategories>
and
/maps/Maps_fruitTypes.xml <fruitTypeCategories> & <fruitTypeConverters>

and I've added STRAW into those where appropriate - forage harvesters now show straw in their harvestable crop types in the shop PDA - but I cannot get the headers to show it, nor can I get the forage harvester and pickup to collect the swath ... even when using the Lizard M3000 "Universal" pickup.

Does anyone know anywhere else I need to edit to get this working?
