Large Silo Extension (how far can you go?)

Post by lefe1 »

Man! I lost money. I placed a Large Silo Extension by the grain silo but it did not add the 100,000L to my total capacity. but when I was placing the Large Silo Extension it was green so I thought that it would work since in fs17 if you placed it to far away it would turn red because it was too far away from main silo. Not in fs19 it's still green. so I sold it and moved it closer to the grain silo, it works now.........

So my question is how far away can you place the Large Silo Extension before it doesn't add the 100,000L to your main grain silo?

now I mad *thumbsdown* ok so now I can't get that 100,000L of canola out of the Silo Extension , it let me put 300,000L of canola in the grain silo, but it's only letting me take out 200,000L. this blows, and I even have 300,000L of soy beans in it too...

I know when I tried to sell a grain silo with things in it, a box popped up telling me it wasn’t empty and gave me the option to sell the contents.

Maybe worth a try?

Wait, does land price fluctuate? I’ve had the same value on my land for the last 4 game days...
Ps4 realistic gameplay;
Ravenport start-from-scratch;
Absolutely love the game!

I think lefe meant the price of soybeans fluctuates

I did even better than that. I don't do multiplayer so I altered the files in Program FIles (x86)/Farming Simulator 2019/data/placeables/farmSilos and changed the farmSiloLarge.xml, farmSiloSmall.xml, and siloExtension.xml capacities to 2 billion, 500 million, and 1.5 billion respectively. Giants has a notice that if you change any of these files you can't use multiplayer but I don't plan on that anyway. Now anytime I start any game, whether the map is a mod or original, the silos have that capacity in them. I even changed what they can store (now not just grains but earth fruits, all the grasses, TMR, silage, wood chips, fertilizer, seeds, etc). Then I edited my savegame files and put all the crops/items at 90 full. I don't think I'll run out of anything for a while. lol
Although Lefe was referring to how far away from a silo can you place an extension silo.

Some people simply prefer to play this game as a (quasi) vehicle and farming simulator, as opposed to trying to minmax an unbalanced economy.

Also learned my lesson the hard way about the extension. The only consolation is that if you sell the extensions, the system also sells the grain in them from the highest price at that particular time. At least your grain just doesn't vanish without a gain. I saved my money this way for a couple of hunderd thousand liters.

yep, that's what I did was sell it. and received the money for the crops that was in it. so I bought all my cotton equipment. and my team doesn't play till tonight.. Go! Skins..

and I would still like to know how far can we put the Silo Extension from the main silo before it doesn't work? or is it going to be fixed that it will turn red if you try to place it too far from the grain silo?

I don't think what you experienced is related to distance.

This is what happened to me yesterday:

I put 2 extensions like 2 meters away from the main silo. One on the right side and the other on the left side. On flat ground with perfect allignment. My total silo capacity went up to 400k.
But extensions also added 200k capacity in total to the railroad silos. They had 200k capacity each before the extensions and jumped up to 300k after the extensions.

The bug with the system is, when you put grain into your main silo with extensions, it is divided between all the silos including the railroad silos.
Because the extensions also affect the railroad silos and kinda makes them the part of the silo system.

However, as the unloading pipe of the main silo is not connected to the railroad silos, you just can't get the divided amount (that is gone to the railroad silos) from that pipe.
But you also can't get it from the railroad silos either.

So, the grain simply sits in between. It is not in your silos and it is not in the railroad silos.

Tbh, I didn't bother with reporting it because Giants just stopped even looking at the bug reports.

This game keeps getting better and better. :lol:

I don't even have a silo on Ravenport. Just going to use the train silos. That is, if I could play the game long enough to harvest a crop.
FS22 is the best one yet. Fight me!

:biggrin2: :biggrin2:
If you just place a main silo, it is ok. The problem is with the extensions.
But yeah, as railroad silos don't charge you storage fees anymore as they did in FS17, using them will be a cheaper option.
