Silage

[leonkaldijk]

Anybody knows how much silage you need to ferment it?

[DaddyJokee]

Any amount. You just have to compact it and you can ferment away. A handful or a truckful, makes no difference.

Have not got to silage yet in FS17, but in previous versions you needed at least 10% in the bunker to blanket it and begin fermenting.

In 17, it doesn't tell you any % number, just amount, so it seems that any amount will do.

FS15 I just cut some grass with mower and collect it with trailer. Unload to silo. Now I don't even have "unload" option... does it mean grass is not accepted?

Looks like ONLY CHAFF can be made into silage.

No... you need to "unload here." with the ( Ctrl + I ) function.

In the tutorial it says you can use many different crops including grass in the knowledge window. However, that doesn't change the fact it doesn't work.

My mistake, grass can be used for silage, just did it; as Kroll stated : use the Unload Here command.

I think the trick is you need to Exit your vehicle to blanket the silage.

I used 6 trailer loads (240968) and put them in the silage bunker and about to cover it up...Before I do I wanted to ask about once its done and turned into silage, can I again start refilling the bunker or adding to the bunker with new loads or will it lock me out until I empty the bunker of silage?

You have 5 bunker silo's you will be locked out of one until you empty the silage from it... Also there is a bug at the moment and typically you wont be able to empty the silo no matter what you do unless you edit an xml file...

[Gibbles]

Ok thank you for that bug info...I might just keep adding to it until they fix the bug...Do you know what the max fill ammount is on a bunker or if there is one?

I haven't bought any animals yet as I always make sure I have the stuff to feed them before buying them...Suppose could buy sheep until they fix the bunker issue, they easy to take care of but not as profitable as cows are...

okay looked for the XML file, its under savegame{what ever your save game is} then vehicles, have to open with notepad and click find the amount that is still left in the bunkersilo example 7826. so once u find your bunkersilo change all # to 0 and openatfront and openatback to false. that should eleviate the problem i think.

It seems you don't need to mess with XML file anymore, this mod will delete the unreachable silage, also important to say it may delete some silage from the adjacent bunker so better you leave one empty between the bunkers you using

The bunkers at the BGA are designed to hold a max of around 2.000.000 units.
