Using the HAND icon
Is there a way to neatly line up pallets on a flatbed trailer using the hand icon? I can pick up and place, but I can't line the pallets up to best utilize the space I have. Is there a mod, or a way to control "the hand?!" Thanks.

Re: Using the HAND icon
The hand icon is used to pick up objects manually. It's hard to precisely control and I would like to know if there is a mod or any way to finely control where objects are placed using the hand icon. How do you nudge something into alignment so that you can get 8 pallets instead of just 4 on a flatbed trailer. That's my issue with "the hand."

There is a strong farmer mod that allows you to move bales, pallets etc by hand

Re: Using the HAND icon
That's fine, but what I'm needing to know is this: Is there a way to fine tune movements. I have seen pictures where players have their bales and pallets all nice and neatly lined up on a trailer (without the use of a self loader) and I'm wondering if there is a way to "scoot" pallets into alignment once they are placed on a flatbed trailer so that I can get more pallets on a trailer. Right now, because I cannot fine tune placement of pallets,I can only get a maximum of four pallets on a truck when I should be able to get at least six, if not more, pallets on there! I don't know how I can make this clearer. More wool pallets on the truck equals fewer trips to the spinnery! I want to know how to load as many wool pallets on the truck as I can.

On ps4 you hold down the right buffer I believe and then turn the item with the right stick so must be similar control on px and xbox

On PS4 objects that say "Objects too heavy!" cannot be moved by hand.

Re: Using the HAND icon
I've not used the extra strength mod but I find that if I'm carefull I can load up before giving them a gentle nudge from the end of the trailer.
It does however get a bit tricky if you try to unload using the bag lifter with its pallet straps though

Re: Using the HAND icon
How are you picking up these pallets at all with the hand? I thought they were too heavy to even be lifted by hand at all. Your only issue is with the lack of precision when placing them by hand?
Re: Using the HAND icon
What process are you using to get the pallets on the trailer in the first place? If you are using some sort of machine with pallet forks, then use that same machine to nudge the pallets around.

Re: Using the HAND icon
Yes, I am lifting them by hand. They are not too heavy. And my issue is precisely placing them side by side and front to back on the truck so that I get more pallets on and no wasted space. Right now, when I drop the pallets on the truck, it's haphazard and messy looking. I'm getting a bit better at it, but it's nowhere near photos I've seen of pallets on other player's trucks! I need to know how to nudge/scoot/maneuver the pallets into place once I have them on the truck bed. And I do have the strong farmer mod. Even using pallet fork is an issue. I'm just a klutz!! That, and being a 67-year-old city kid/granny. I would NOT make it as a real farmer!! Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I'm playing on pc and I don't get the "Objects too heavy" message. Just can't lift.

Re: Using the HAND icon
I think it's a bug. Sometimes I can lift pallets of anything (wool, seed, fertilizer etc) but sometimes I can't. Really hard to reproduce as it's very inconsistant

Re: Using the HAND icon
If on PC, you can rotate held objects by holding the middle mouse button and moving the mouse. This makes things much easier with a bit of practice. I might also suggest using one pallet to nudge the other pallets toward the position you want them.annasgramma wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 6:33 pm Yes, I am lifting them by hand. They are not too heavy.
