Bigger potato harvester and beat harvester

Post by blerch »

Been wondering if someone can make a bigger potato harvester. One that can hold more then 25k and has a wider working length same for a the sugar beat harvester it only holds 45 which is fine if it had a wider working length bigger compactly would be good as well. I would make it but I'm not good at coding.

Did you want a harvester that is realistic looking or just one that looks like the stock harvester but with a wider work area? It is a pretty easy mod to change the work area, but the harvester will dig beyond the visual header. And it is not "coding", so you could do it yourself.

And the same is true for capacity.

Here is an example of what I mean, a rockpicker with an increased work area but no change in the model. The orange rectangle in the picture is the work area.

Do u have to own the game for real or does a game pass version count cause I tried to open the mod editor and it said the game wasn't installed yet it is thru Xbox game pass. Which version do I need to have to be able to make mods.

I don't know anything about Xbox game pass. Are you playing on a PC? If so, you may need to find where the game is installed and enter the address into GE.

File > Preferences > General > Game Installation > Installation Path:

Also, can you load zip mods into the mod folder and play them?
