No fill level on the new vegetable harvester

[terry]

I know it has a tank on it but no info for how much it holds and no visual on it when using it.

It doesn't hold anything inside. You need to send it directly to a trailer

I used it, then pulled up a trailer next to it and it unloaded parsnips into the trailer just like a beet harvester does.
But when I tried to assign a helper to it, it wouldnt do anything until I ran along side of it with the trailer.

or you pick the other 2 that need boxes

That's because you're meant to drive the tractor with trailer alongside it while it works. Otherwise it would just dump the crop. If you don't want to use the other harvesters with the crates, the Dewulf GBC holds 5500 litres but you have to stop harvesting before you can pipe out to a trailer.

Seems pretty single-player unfriendly again if they rely on external mods for to get a proper solution.

Agreed. I dont see why they couldnt make it work the same as the beet or potato harvester. I'll wait for a modder to mod those harvesters for the new crops.

Modders can´t do there anything as the dlc is encrypted.
Currently mad a bit, so now i as the customer/single player have to get follow me running for to be able to drive the harvesters on my own, that´s pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I agree that Giants should have given more thought to this but that's their problem for as long as I can remember since I started with FS15, they rely on external mods too much. If I want to drive the new harvester myself I have to use follow me, if I don't want complete fools as helpers I have to use Courseplay. I don't even think they've thought about storage beyond crates for the new crops either.

I haven't used it yet, but so, is it like when you have to follow a forage harvester?

[Jade Falcon]

@Wizard Yeah just like that.

Yes, except forage harvesters can hook up to trailers. The harvester for the new crops has a side chute like beet harvesters so you cant hook it up to a trailer.
There are some harvesters that are used with a tractor that fill up crates so it can be done with those in singleplayer but they have a 0.8 meter harvest width so it will take a long time to harvest a field with those.

[Wizard]

Ok, well, I'll admit, the various harvesters are cool looking and fun to drive, but in single player, you're pretty much always the one driving the trailer so this isn't really anything new.

I guess that's why I do cotton a lot.

[Lord Nighthawk]

I don´t see a problem why not to add a virtual bunker for single players on these machines...could be optional and simply changed in the shop.

Forage harvesters can hook up trailers, yes, but i somewhen found out how to add a bunker/tank to them so i changed that on my own and it simply feels comfortable - less realistic for sure - to use them that way.

[jollibee]

I agree, I think most players play single player. So they need to make workers smart enough to drive a trailer along side so we can actually use the new equipment.

I am hoping a modder comes along and mods the auger wagons to take the new crops so we can automate with courseplay.

Until then I will be using the box harvesters. I suck at running a chase wagon.
