Auto-loading bale trailers needs a serious overhaul

[Tut]

The entire API need to be improved so that the game can calculate the number of bales and arrangement of any size that each trailer can accommodate. Otherwise, so much time is wasted by buying trailers, hauling them out to a field with bales, realizing it won't work with the bales, hauling it back to sell, and repeat.

I did an experiment with 4 different baler mods; 3 that create the tiny bales (and each one created them at a different volume) and the older New Holland square baler. I then tried 13 different autoloading square bale trailers, some described as taking "small" bales and others saying nothing of their size. None of them worked with any of the 4 bales.

It can't be hard at all for the game to take the trailer's loading footprint area and then try to fit any square bale onto it, finding the best orientation for arranging multiple bales into the space. It truly is the worst experience of the entire game. Especially after baling an entire huge field with the tiny bales, finding out that nothing worked to autoload them and having to run around and pick up each bale by hand and toss them into a wagon.

Genius! I was hoping someone made one, and I just happened upon it the other day. Love how it doesn’t brake. Now I’m wondering if there’s a Green Acres map with Hooterville and Pixley.

me and a friend thought about doing it but we probably wont (at least not for 19)
