FS25 Advanced Silage Types V1.3

The “Advanced Silage Types” globally extends all bunker silos, biogas plants and feeding robots with additional silage types. The script integrates the fillTypes *GRASS_FERMENTED*, *CLOVER_FERMENTED* and *ALFALFA_FERMENTED*, which are intentionally named according to the MaizePlus fillType conventions to avoid conflicts with other mods. The implementation is based on template structures provided by T4xs.
All new silage types are processed like standard silage. Stationary productions (BGA) and bunker silos automatically receive the new silage types as valid input, with methane output adjusted for higher-value silage. Furthermore, the script extends all stationary feeding robots: they now accept the new silage types at their silage unloading spots and convert them into the standard forage mixture.
Silos are able to ferment any supported crop, provided the required fillTypes are registered on the map. Missing or non-registered fillTypes are automatically ignored to ensure maximum compatibility. In addition, all new silage types are added to silage additives in forage wagons and forage harvesters. The fillPlanes inside the silo may visually differ from those used by the map; this is a technical limitation and does not affect functionality.
The script allows users to add their own silage types via a clearly organized table. Special thanks go to PfalzAgrar and SirJoki80 for providing the silage textures.
V1.3.0.0
– Added CCM to the feed mixer
– Removed custom AnimalFood.xml and replaced it with a more compatible script (thanks to T4xs)
– Added support for maize silage on maps that already include the filltype

The "Advanced Silage Types" mod is a comprehensive addition to Farming Simulator 25 that expands the functionality of bunker silos, biogas plants, and feeding robots. By introducing new silage types such as GRASS_FERMENTED, CLOVER_FERMENTED, and ALFALFA_FERMENTED, the mod follows the MaizePlus fillType conventions to prevent conflicts with other mods. The implementation is based on template structures provided by T4xs, ensuring a robust and compatible integration.

With these new silage types, all standard silage processing mechanics apply. Bunker silos, biogas plants, and feeding robots now automatically recognize and accept the new silage types as valid inputs, with adjustments made to reflect their higher value in methane output. Additionally, stationary feeding robots have been enhanced to accept the new silage types at their unloading spots and convert them into standard forage mixtures.

One notable feature of the script is its flexibility in handling various crop types for fermentation in silos, provided that the required fillTypes are present on the map. For maximum compatibility, any missing or non-registered fillTypes are ignored automatically. Furthermore, the new silage types have been incorporated into silage additives for forage wagons and harvesters, ensuring seamless compatibility across different machinery.

Users also have the ability to define their own silage types using a user-friendly table provided by the mod. Special credits are given to PfalzAgrar and SirJoki80 for their contributions of silage textures.

In the latest version (V1.3.0.0) of the mod, notable changes include the addition of CCM to the feed mixer, the replacement of the custom AnimalFood.xml file with a more compatible script developed by T4xs, and the enhanced support for maize silage on maps that already include the specific filltype. These updates further enrich the gameplay experience and showcase the commitment to improving functionality and user experience within the game.
