Hey everyone!

So the new game is great! okey.. there are soms bugs enz. but still a lot beter than fs19

Now I find it very difficult to load the crates from the greenhouse, for example. or the crates of bread/oil.

is there any kind of automatic loading?
to make all this easier? if so how and what?

please help!

Yup, but the big greenhouse makes 28 or so crates each time you sleep, it gets old hand stacking them too.. I sett mine to selling, but not sure what price I get :hmm:

Investing in a forklift???

Or you can change the output production to "distribute" or "sell".

Yep, either hand load them, use a machine, or set to automatically sell.

I too, want to know the difference between sell and distribute.

Distribution sends it to your next point in the production process. So if you send flour distribution and you own the bakery it sends it there

I think with the new greenhouses, autoload trailers will be more important to some players.
Maybe some talented modder will feel the same way, and make everyone happy.

For Lettuce you will get much more then for stroberies (cheapest stuff) tomatoes is the middle of price. Prices are vary depending on mouth of year. But for Lettuce you will get much more.
Honey is also worth to have, in May you will get 436 per craters. Stuff from greenhouse you can load by hand, Honey is to have.

I highly doubt you get 28 FULL pallets overnight. Check the contents of each (bottom right corner, you will see detailed info of the pallet when close) and only move a pallet which is indeed full. Seems like a bug IMO however, that multiple crates get spawned but the first crate is still not full. You certainly don't want to waste the time hauling pallets not yet filled to capacity.

Don't think it's a bug, it's just 6 boxes of tomatoes on a pallet, 100liters.. if I sleep, there's 6 pallets outside the greenhouse, and in the info tab that pops up, it says that there's 2200liters or so of tomatoes available, so when i remove one crate a new one pops in containing 100 liters.. so no bug. But yes, their pallet size could have been bigger..

I am running a market garden business with five double greenhouses. I move the crates by hand to a warehouse stacking in 4s. Then forklift onto waiting trailers. A Strautman semi trailer takes 25-44 pallets depending on the type of produce.

It's hard work. But great fun and the handling mechanics have been good - better than fs19.

Sleeping overnight each greenhouse produces 10+ pallets. Gross income for the 5 greenhouses is 14-15k per month (Autumn prices). Have yet to experiment with focusing a greenhouse on just one crop. Income will be higher at other times of year. That is a very good return per hectare. They only require water.

16 hours played and it's only October 6.00am (one day seasons).

100L per pallet? Ok, I haven't seen or tried tomatoes yet. That would be a pain to even take care of with an autoloader.
