BGA - Worth It?

Post by mark23 »

With the modded Mini Biogas Plant on Modhub being more affordable than the in game or bigger modded BGA's, is building that and using it worth it? I make decent money at the moment selling my extra silage but in the spirit of trying something new I am looking at the Mini Biogas Plant on Modhub but I don't want to throw money away for no reason.

Anyone have any experience with this? I know it auto sells the electricity and methane which i am happy for it to do but seems a bit pointless if it sells for less than the value of the silage you put in. My other thought was just to use slurry and manure off my cows as inputs as using these on fields seems quite time consuming compared to granulised fertiliser

Yes, you'll make 200%+ more putting silage into the BGA. Dis Turbed has a great video titled "FS22 - most profitable BGA" that will tell you more.

You'll also make much more putting manure and slurry in the BGA than selling it directly if you aren't using it for fertilisation, and the BGA gives digestate as a by-product which can be used to fertilise.

As Cardos said you get about double selling silage through the BGA (185%). I kind of hate how giants make it so it's not easy to see if it's better to sell or use a BGA.

Here are the details of the gains from selling through my mini BGA (or any of the base game ones) the advantage of the mini one is it's at least 10 times quicker and way cheaper.

Silage 185%
Slurry 961%
Manure 961%
Cut Sugarbeet 262%
Sugarbeet 262%
potatoes 186%
Straw 133%

I already have a modular BGA setup (after seeing your tutorial on it which i edited a bit to be somewhat fatser) but otherwise i'd use this in an instant. Keep up the good work m8, both in modding and content creating! I'm a fan. *thumbsup*

I also recommend the big bga mod pack where there is a power and gas plant that turns digastate Into electricy. On old stream farm I use those two plus the bga on the map, and I make 187k on 50k of silage each day.

I'm working on an update which will make my BGA compatible with the generators from the modular BGA :) it already works with the secondary fermenters for digestate

I'm using the mini BGA at the moment, it's brilliant! I've added a secondary fermenter from the modular pack so I finally have a use for digestate and although the mini BGA isn't (yet) compatible with the generator I have got one hooked up to the secondary fermenter.

So, if I own the BGA and income is coming from selling electricity and methane, is the current price of silage irrelevant?

First off, thank you so much for the awesome mods!

I'm currently setting up your mini biogas plant with refueling stations - it's a beast, nothing short of that! But for some reason I can't get my tanker to fill with methane from it - regardless if it's stored or distributed. What am I doing wrong? I'm on PS4.

The tanker I'm using is indeed compatible with methane and has been tested with it on the same map.

Okay, I found your channel, watched a few videos, and I guess the issue here is my assumptions) Do I get it right that, unlike erShaba's methane pack or Alien Jim's BGA on the Western Wilds, the mini BGA does not have the outlet for methane as a transportable fill type?

If so, I might want to try a workaround with Shaba's storage tank - albeit that would require some demolishing yet again))

On the note of Western Wilds.... Is it better to sell at the BGA? It seems to me that the trainyard has like double the price of the BGA always. Am I missing something? I haven't dabbeled much into silage or BGA's in 22 yet.
The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.
