How much milk/slurry/manure can animal pens hold?

[Purno]

I can't seem to find anywhere what the maximum capacity / storage space is for milk, slurry and manure for each of the animal pens. Where would I find this information?

+1 keen to know also

I know for the small chicken coop it can make 20 boxes before it complains of no more room.

Have not had cows or pigs, sheep long enough to get max

From my save game, there doesn't seem to be a maximum capacity on the Milk & Slurry, that just seems to fill up constantly. As for Manure it probably has a limit due to the area it spawns in, but its quite high as again I've taken 100,000l from the Pig Pen in my save and it never gave me any message that it was full or had no more room. The real limiting factor seems to be with the BioGas plant and it only accepting and being able to process 50,000l at a time, meaning it can take you quite a while to empty all your slurry and manure if you've let it build up.

Slurry is 800,000L for the large pig pen and large cow pasture. Milk is 800,000L for the large pasture. No idea on manure, but I would imagine it's around 500,000L or so (just guessing by the size).

When you fill a trailer from the slurry tank, it says at the top of the prompt how much that tank can hold. Same with milk.

The manure holding area for large cow and pigs pastures are bugged. On animal tab, a lot more manure is shown than the actual amount.

I had about 200.000+ L of manure at my large cow pasture. I emptied it and got about 120.000L of manure while animal tab showed around 86.000+ L of manure still left. Thing is, manure pit is completely empty and i can't get the rest of it.

Large pig pasture and manure also has issues. Animal tab showed around 24.000L of manure while when i emptied it, i only got about 16.000L of manure. Good thing is that when i empty it, animal tab shows 0L of manure left.

I'd like to know too.. But if we actually get a warning that I'll notice when it's full then that helps at least.. I have a regular size cow pen, but from a mod that makes it look different, so not sure if storage capacities are the same, though I'm guessing it is.

Also an open question if anything gets destroyed over time. Will milk go sour if too long in barn?

Kind of an old post here!

So if you really want to know, here's where you find the info.

Go here: .....\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2019\savegame1 (or whatever save #)
Find file: items.xml

Open that file with a text editor, highly recommend Notepad++

Do a search for 'AnimalHusbandry'

Within that code, you'll see lines like this:
<module name="milk" fillCapacity="800000.000000">

<module name="manure" fillCapacity="800000.000000" manureToDrop="1044.670288" manureToRemove="0.000000"/>

<module name="liquidManure" fillCapacity="800000.000000">


The fillCapacity is self-explanatory, which is what you're looking for.


Storage capacities here are generally the same between vanilla and mods. I don't think it makes a difference between small and large pastures.

Things do not go bad. I'm not sure if seasons changes this.

Thanks.. Lots of great info in there that is understandable.. My barn has a massive 800.000 liters capacity too.
