Question regarding non-owned land

[Stenleh44]

The other day i decided to take over some land on Silverrun. I took part of the lumber yard north of the track and made it a yard.

I even put Silage bunker/clamps in and thought i would make me a Silage farm. Mowed the grasses, picked up my first trailer load...and it get message when unloading into bunker...you don't own it. I didnt even think about that being an issue. My bad.

Is there anyway around this? Anything in the xml i could edits? Or is there a mod in the mod hub that would help this issue?

Thanks. Greatly appreaciated if you can provide any information.

So, you built a bunker on land you don't own and it won't let you dump grass in it? How did you build it if you don't own the land? Can't you just buy the land?

Try the mod "Tip anywhere" I don't know for sure if it will work for your silage bunker but it might.

He might have the mod "Paint and terraform anywhere" which would allow him to build on unowned land. Buying the land should fix the problem unless he happened to build on land that cannot be purchased.

I think this is exactly what took place. I believe that mod is installed.

The land cannot be purchased in game but I was wondering if there was something I could do in a file. I’ll poke around but don’t think I’ll have much luck.

A bit of a blunder on my part. Oh well.

Yeah, happens to me every so often too. Can't help it, I just love building and creating landscape/stories!

!, too, suggest trying if "Tip Anywhere" works with the bunker.
If that doesn't help, I guess the only way to fix this might be editing the map via GIANTS Editor, make the sawmill plot buyable.

Unless..
Not sure if messing around with plot ownership with "Easy Development Controls" helps but if you're up for a bit of tinkering (remember to manually backup the save!), it might be worth a try!

I think you'll either have to delete it or move it to land you own probably.

Easy Dev Controls MIGHT work if the plot is registered on the map as "Farmland" (as opposed to "field"). You'd need to stand on the plot and open Easy Dev and go to the land tab. With any luck the "Farmland" option will show the plot you are on and you can switch ownership.

However it's 50/50 whether this would work so backup your save folder first.

You might risk breaking the lumberyard though. If it was me, I'd change the cords in the save file to move it onto land I owned.

I was able to tip in the bunker! However I am not sure if the tip anywhere mod fixed the situation or there’s a bug with the bunkers.

Reason I question it….after installing lid I received the error cannot unload here. I adjusted the trailer to a different spot and it unloaded.

I guess I can deactivate the mod and test.

Thanks all

FarmSim being FarmSim; that's how it goes.

Glad it worked out the easy way!
