Harvest Failed!

[derMack]

on the erlengrad map, the harvest order on space 12 cannot be completed. you only get 96%. one should harvest cotton in the field. given the size of the field, the harvester can only produce 2 bales of cotton. this is not enough to complete the order 100%. 51% of the cotton remains in the harvester. I have now tried twice to complete the order. both times I didn't succeed.

There's a vehicle command to empty the remainder and deliver that last partial bale.

I was looking for such a command. I didn't find any on the cotton harvester. if you press the "Z" button the last few bales should be dumped. as is the case with the baler. there doesn't seem to be a way to get the remaining 51% out of the machine.

I have thinking they have corrected this but it's seem they have again problem with this, but it's supposed to be ok with some harvester, anyway, if you can not empty it, try the following thing :

if you want to correct the situation right now here what to do, but it's a litle cheating, but to go out of bad situation it's the better work,

you can change the amount of wool you have in your harvester, for this you need to save your game and go out of the game, go into the folder of the savegame you use in the "Documents / my game / FarmingSimulator2022 / XXXgo into the savegame folder you use, savegame1 or 2, ect...",

in this folder, look for the file named : "Vehicule.xml", open it with a text editor,

now in this buch of data, look all the line they begin with :
"<vehicle modName="
now, look the data after the "=" until found your harvester you want to debug...

Bow, when you find your harvester, look more down in her data until you find a line they look like :

"fill type: cotton"

and you will view the number of cotton you have presently into your harvester, now you just need to change this number to "2000.0000"
Now save the file and go out.

Now load again your saved game, you should now have enough cotton in your harvester to empty it and finish your contract...,

it's sure you can make this too with all the other trailer if you have other problem like this in the futur...

Thanks for the info. I will have a look.

or just use the power tool mod to fill it a lot safer way to do it........

Looks like several cotton mission are broken. In Haut-Beyleron field 30 always fail.

Don't accept any contracts that use the John Deere cotton harvester. It always has this problem. Only do contracts with the Case IH cotton harvester.

thank you for the information. I will take note

so it doesn't seem to be an isolated case. hope it gets fixed.

Yes but only on the Case harvester. The John Deere cotton harvester cannot unload partial bales. I've tried a few contracts on Haut-Beyleron with the John Deere and couldn't finish any of them.

Unbelievable that they haven't fixed this issue.

Even the Case harvester can't unload partial bales. I used to be able to with the Case harvester, but now I cannot unload my bale. I have like 3000 L of cotton (15%) and it refuses to unload.

Googling for solutions, people say "unload the harvester" which is not helpful because that is exactly what I and people asking are trying to do. HOW do you unload it? What are the keybinds to unload it? Does harvester need to be on or off?

In my case (pun intended) I have tried every key combination including Z, R, and I with both the harvester on and off. None of them work.

What's more, I use autodrive, and with a bale stuck inside it refuses to drive anywhere. I presume it is trying to fold itself before driving and can't because of the unfinished bale.

So now because I cannot unload the bale, I have to manually drive the harvester to every single job.

Since I started using the Case cotton harvesting machine, I no longer have any problems when harvesting cotton. If you know what to look out for, they work better than John Deere

The problem can´t get "fixed" easy cause of the way how the machines work differently and the game handles the mechanic to create bales. First, for all types of bales the game requires a minimum amount of whatever you want to bale, in this case cotton, and the minimum amount is ~20% of the material. Before this amount is reached a bale can´t be created as it is a static object that then can be used by other equipment - else it would not recognize it.

Second problem here is the difference between the harvesters, the Case IH is a single chamber harvester so it´s easier to reach the minimum amount of material to create a bale that can be ejected. The john deere is a dual chamber harvester, it has a so called pre-compress chamber that fills about 2500 litres and then moves the precompressed stuff over to the main chamber where the bale is rolled. And as the 2500 is in a seperate container it is technically just a number for the game - but nothing close to a bale. And this is why the bales of the john deere have a bigger problem to reach the minimum amount of material for to create a bale that the other machines can handle.

As the stuff is hardcoded i don´t expect a possible change/fix until the next farming simulator version.

I must correct myself. The case harvester CAN unload partial bales, I just forgot what the keybind was.

Turns out the keybind to unload partial bale from Case harvester on computer is Y

When people ask "how to unload partial bale" it would be helpful if people said "use case harvester, press Y to unload bale"

[Lord Nighthawk]

There is a help window showing all keybinds for the currently selected machine in the top left of the screen....can always be brought up and hidden with F1. So don´t expect people to react on pointless questions everyone can solve for themself in a second.
