How to make silage?

[You]

Im playing the tutorial and dont understand how do i get silage?

[Rafał]

1. click on grass to silage production to enable it (checkbox)
2. Set it to 100% efficiency
3. Assign worker to building
4. Harvest or buy some grass
5. Check if you have required amount of grass. You need full package of grass (100kg) to start production

The overview/menu of the building is hard to understand in my opinion.
Thanks I got it somehow.

Yes, now we know it :) I think it not so complex but should be more intuitive at the begining. Do you think settings things up to default as enabled would be a solution?

If the tutorial explained it better, that should be fine. I could not figure it out either, but eventually got it to work.

A progress bar would be useful to see how far along the silage is im staring at a worker running back and forth to the storage but theres not an indicator anything is getting done that i can see on this tutorial

The problem is there are many players (like me) who never played any farming simulator before. I didnt understand what the scrollbar is for, now i know its for the efficiency but I still dont know what it means in this case. Setting the right settings to default will remove the problem at this point in the tutorial but the user won´t know what it does in the future.

For me and in my case the best solution is to explain it somehow. It could be explained in the tutorial or maybe just add a mouseover/hover effect to explain. Hover explanations are a very good way to explain little things like that in my opinion and I really like if a game got these little extra details popping up and not having them flooding every menu with too much information. "Give me more information when I want them" thats what I like in general. Just my 2 cents.

Followed all the instructions above but worker is only transferring 2kg per day (grass) from the barn. I also bought 100kg grass and straw and soon after it was put in the barn, it disapeared.

Even stopped the cows from eating grass so not sure where it is going.

Mine never produces the Silage

I'm having trouble getting my worker to produce silage. I followed your directions on how to do it, but it's still not working. I think setting things up to default as enabled would be a good idea, at least for beginning players.

We will try to change it in one of next updates

i also have the same problem

We will test it.

Started with 70kg grass. Guy assigned.. bar to 100%. Realized.. not enough grass.
Buy 130kg more grass.
It gets delivered. I click on the barn 5 seconds after delivery. I pause the game.
It's not there.
I then go grass hunting. Check the cows. Nope.. Not in there. Check the silage. Nope. I check the warehouse. Nope. I turn off grass for the cows. I unpause and keep looking. It's just "gone".

After a while.. i decide to try more. This time i make 3 seperate purcahses of 100kg each of grass. All 3 get delivered. But the first one out.. disappears. The second two actually "stay" and get carried to the silage production building. Tutorial mission complete!!

Why is this hard?

1) Not enough grass to trigger the building.
2) Grass delivery disapparing.
3) No explination of silage controls. A pop up would be VERY helpful. Even the guy yapping in the upper left corner, or a pop up would be immmense use.

All in all.. the combined issues make this part a pain. Maybe i'll see my missing 230kg of grass some day.

I had someone working the silage but they just kept walking back and forth from the barn to the silage pit with a bag in their hand. Nothing ever happened... What is going on? Bug?

I think what people are perceiving as a problem is it takes a while for the grass to turn into silage so they wonder if anything is actually happening. And any grass that's delivered to the barn seems to vanish but it's actually been assigned to the silage up to the amount of grass set to use, or all of it if set to infinity.
