Addon "Straw Harvest" for Farming Simulator 19!

[Patrick73]

I had the same thing Patrick. The bar only half filled with pellets so I topped it up with straw and then the bar disappeared. I’m still getting manure and the health is not affected so I suppose it’s one less daily job to do.
I gave up with the new square baler as even using a tractor with high hp would be crawling even on a slight hill. Haven’t tried the round baler yet.

Which map were you on? Loose pellets worked ok but I think I’ll stick with bales from now on. If you want the straw bar back just uninstall like I said

Respect!, modders and thank you! The only problem I’ve had is the prima 5000 just will not work to pick up hay in the field, but we just add the bale shredder to it and use it that way inside the factory. It is a little disappointing but I’m confident they’ll fix it soon. Always show respect to these talented individuals who make a game that is so diverse and fun to play.

I’m on Westbridge Hills at the moment, haven’t tried other maps yet. I’ll try the uninstall method.
Hope any niggles can be fixed as they’re only minor things. Great mod and good to have a purpose for straw.

Pellets can be used for animal feed and bedding. You can sell on stock maps at the barn and there is a placeable sales point for the wrapped pallets available if you want too.

Custom map may have custom options, needles to say

Edit, I forgot, straw pellets can be sold like woodchips at the lumber yard.

I tried on XBox and cannot sell loose straw pellets on Felsbrunn at the barn.

Looks like that's changed in the latest beta they released just 3 days ago. https://git.creative-mesh.com/projects/ ... est/browse

There's a version there available to download for console too, although I wouldn't know how you'd go about installing it if you were on console?

It's NOT possible to download mods from external sites on console.

[Pict]

That's how I sort of understood it. So why do they have a public link for it?

I have no idea but it's still not possible to use it on console.

I cant get my pellets to be used in my barns for bedding. Does it only work on certain maps? I'm playing on PS/4 on Green River and Pacific North West, season off and on and it still won't take my straw pellets for bedding.

I’m guessing it works shredding hay bales because it’s unloading straight away into the hopper and not reaching 5% which is when the primor usually cuts out

Youre a genius!!
Took the shredder and Premos outside...It let me shred one hay bale then wouldnt do another one until I put a trailer under it and it started shredding hay bales again.

[TacoFarmer]

No comment?

Sorry, I have other things to do then check this all the time. I don't get why that dark bale is consider hay with seasons. You are still the only one to have it work.

My apologies. I kind of get anxious and impatient.

Thanx Tacofarmer...I’ll take that compliment

I think I just found a solution to the problem with the Premos 5000 "Bale type not supported" problem.

This solution requires editing in a .lua file, so if you are not comfortable with editing those files, this solution might be not for you.
Also you need a text editor (e.g. notepad++)
Anyway here are the steps required:

1. Backup your savegame!
2. Unzip the "FS19_addon_strawHarvest" file
3. Navigate to: "\src\vehicles"
4. Open file "StrawHarvestPelletizer.lua"
5. Search for "--Add semidry when seasons is enabled"
6. Put the following characters in front of this paragraph: "--[[" (without the quotation marks!)
7. Put the following characters at the end of that paragraph : "]]" (without the quotation marks!)

The passage should be like this:

-- Add semidry when seasons is enabled.
--[[ if seasons ~= nil then
spec.fillTypeConverters[FillType.SEMIDRY_GRASS_WINDROW] = { sourceFillTypeIndex = FillType.HAYPELLETS, conversionFactor = 0.25 }
spec.fillTypeConvertersByOutput[FillType.HAYPELLETS] = { targetFillTypeIndex = FillType.SEMIDRY_GRASS_WINDROW, conversionFactor = 0.25 }
end ]]

The changes are highlighted in RED
The characters we added mark this paragraph as a comment and therefore the script "doesnt use it anymore" (sry for wonky english, non-native)

8. Save the file
9. Take all the files in the "FS19_addon_strawHarvest" directory and "re-zip" them to "FS19_addon_strawHarvest"

After i started my game, i was able to shred hay bales with seasons without the overloading solution Mr. Taco posted earlier in this thread.

I still have to try to create hay pellets from swaths, but I will report on this issue later.
Creating hay pellets from swaths now also works!


Last thing to consider: If the SHA gets patched, this solution might become irrelevant or faulty!

*EDIT* I havent tested it, yet, but I am fairly sure if you edit the file like this, you wont be able to create "grass" pellets from the semi-dryed grass anymore

Wouldn't it be easier to just use the updated/beta from Creative Mesh ?
linky thing

Sure it is easier.

Thanks for posting the link.

In crome, do you get a warning? if so, you have to bypass that, and you'll get to the site.
Works here
