Fuel usages

[NickCooper]

I personally think per hr of machine use should be almost a tank of fuel. Does anyone else agree with me on this? I play on consaul.

No, not even close to realistic. Giants use realistic tank size and usage information. Now could they have an high option, sure, but not every hour. That's really ridiculous.

Most machines I have run in my life, if you work them hard for 10-12 hours, they will be needing a drink, but not a single hour.

Chiseling uses more than discing, but even chiseling this year I was doing an acre for every gallon, so with the 8r I could do more than 150 acres before needing to fill it. The combine we filled every 3rd day with fuel and def. The 8130 on the grain cart and 7800 running wagons was about every 4th day. It all depends how hard they are working.

I wish that the engine hours multiplied by the same amount of time as you have your game speed to. As in, if you're playing 5x speed, the engine hours would accumulate 5x faster. It's been three years and I have never filled my tank yet lol

[NickCooper]

Just not high enough in the game

Hopefully soon Realismus will have their fuel usage mod out

Actually the normal fuel usage is fairly accurate. It also fluctuates with the engine load.

This exactly, it did exactly what was needed, but if Realismus are reading ... it would be good to have "High", "Very High" and "Ridiculous"

Personally I'm not really concerned how accurate the fuel usage, but it has to have a game effect or there's no point in having it.

Currently fuel usage is extremely low, on the other hand wear and tear is through the roof.

I can likely process 50-60Ha land in a tractor for a full season before needing refueling even once. Same with the harvester.

Maybe this time they can make them for consoles too.

We should at least have that option if we wanted. And if you dont’t want it, then you can use the current options.

I've never understood why you pay more in repairs than you do in diesel.

[fenixguy]

Yep. Has been a requested option for years now but it ain't happening.

But it's totally "realistic" that driving a tractor 100 yards down the road does $2,500 damage and requires a repaint of $18,000.

I'm starting my second year in-game and I have only one tractor that does everything except loader work and I'm down about 1/8 of a tank.

I usually get tired of a map before I have to refuel a machine in FS.

This is my main issue as well. I want to be using the fuel trailers more often than once every 10 in game years. Meanwhile not having to repair my vehicle every 10 in game minutes
