Silos wont accept chaff OR grass

[CastAway_Dave]

Since the patch, now my bunkers wont accept grass or chaff..WTH!

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think in a vanilla game without mods, I don't believe there were any storage areas for chaff and grass? I could be wrong...

Yep. OP is using a modded map that probably blew up with the patch. Not the first time. Won't be the last.

OP: My map is working fine, bunkers, silos everything, including BGA extension. No issues here.

That's what I figured. I've seen a lot of mods that added storage for those.

Nope, still on the regular maps, NO mods..

I am talking about the bunkers at the biogas plant and the bunker next to the manure pile..
I tryed reinstalling, but when I add the saved game files it does same thing..Looks like I have to start over.

OK. I get ya'. It's the use of the word "silos" in your title. Neither grass or chaff go to silos.

However, you sure your bunkers are empty? Even a single litre can prevent adding.

No, they are not empty, I have been adding grass to them to keep them close to maximum capacity..Now I get a message, no grass accepted here..Also, when feeding the hopper in the biogas plant for money, it lets you fill it, but it does not process it, when it hits 20000 it just sits there, the machine doesn't run..

Adding grass to "them"? What "them"? BGA bunkers? "Maximum" might be the clue.

Once they're full, you need to compress, cover it and then empty it before you can add more grass. You can't keep them "close to maximum capacity".

Silage pit at the cow farm is the same.

The troughs, where you dump the grass will only hold so much dependent on cow numbers.

Also, when feeding the hopper in the biogas plant for money, it lets you fill it, but it does not process it, when it hits 20000 it just sits there, the machine doesn't run..

Is it making money? Seems to me you're just filling faster than it processes. What happens if you speed it up?

Trying to help you out here but something isn't right in your wording or my understanding of your wording. What map are you doing?

[CastAway_Dave]

Yeah, I am just po'ed, sry for the jibberish..When you dump it in the hopper, the bio plant does nothing, it does not take in the silage, the machine does not run, you fill it to 20000 and it stays at 20000..

[CastAway_Dave]

Ok I got it working, I had to go through all my backup saves and finally found one that was bad and deleted it..I lost some work but not to bad...As for the bunkers not accepting grass nor chaff, I emptied out the one at the cow pen and it now accepts grass, so that means I have to empty out all of the bunkers at the biogas plant too and start over:(

[Nina]

well, that should atleast give you TONS of money

the problem is that you were exploiting the game, the devs did not intend for you to be able to dump grass on top of the silage to just make more silage. you have to dump, compress, and then ferment it the way it was intended to be done.
I'm not sure why it would not be processing the silage, it does take time to empty the hopper but it sounds like you waited and it didn't do anything.

[CastAway_Dave]

When I say "hopper" I mean where you sell the silage, I got that to work just fine..
All I know is that it "allowed" dumping grass/chaff on top of silage to refill the bunker..I thought it was kind of strange myself but wasn't sure..Anyway if this was a change in the game dynamics so be it, I just want to make sure it isn't some error in my game or a bad file..
BTW, selling the silage the problem was, you could dump into the hopper, and it would fill up but it was not taking in the silage, the hopper would just fill up and sit there..Once it reached 20000 it stayed at 20000..The plpant wasn't working..I fixed it I don't know how I had nothing in my mod folder and I have all files showing but when I took the mod folder out it worked..I hope I got the point accross this time..I know I was POed before...Anyway thanks for the advice..

Forgot to mention, when the bio gas plants bunkers are all empty it still shows 7 percent left, but you can't see it..Since it show 7 percent that you cannot access you can't refill the bunkers..

[mereman]

I have the same promblem as CastAway. I emptied a bunker tbut it;s still showing that there is 7% in it. I've ran up and down with the teleporter covered I think every inch but still shows 7% full. Going to empty another bunker and see if that's the same.
