Straw Swath; Beginners Question

[Chapow99]

My Top liner I start with has a straw swath option that is enabled but it does not collect the left over straw from the initial crops on farm? Not sure why the option would be there if I can't collect it? Am I missing something?

You have to use a bailer or a forage wagon the collect the swath. Combine only drops swath.

You can use a baler to bale it also.

I recommend collecting it with a baler or forage wagon as other have said, but if you don't want to spend the money on one or just don't want to deal with it you can just plow it under.

That setting only controls whether the combine drops straw as a swath, or chops it up and spreads it over the field. To collect the swath, you need a forage wagon, baler, or forage harvester with the appropriate header.

Use F1. If you are not going to use the info, the game gives you ... then this is going to be uphill for you. FS is not too good at giving info in the first place, you know :)

Isn't it open by default?

Op might add, there's an extended help f1 menu on the modhub, opposite by Fs19, 22 randomly crop some keys info when there are more than usual.

I think it is. But ,,, you know.

And the mod you mention: It should be IN THE GAME from the start.
GIANTS really need a UI/UX rework.

I've seen some that are and some that aren't. Always best to check before you start a field, at any rate.

Absolutely!
