FS25 Build Menu: Husbandry Storage Info V1.0

See an animal husbandry’s storage capacities BEFORE you place it.
In the construction menu (and the shop) each barn shows, inline next to the animal count, the storage capacity for its feed trough, slurry (liquid manure), manure, milk, straw and water – each with its fill-type icon.
The key for planning: if a barn produces slurry or manure but has NO internal storage, the value reads “external” and the whole label turns orange – that means you must also place a separate slurry pit / manure heap nearby. If the animal type does not produce something, that line is simply omitted (e.g. pastures, chicken coops).
Pure display add-on: it only reads the stored data and changes nothing in gameplay, savegames or multiplayer. The redundant feed-type icon strip is hidden for husbandries to make room.

Thank you for your detailed description of the proposed feature for the Build Menu in Farming Simulator 25 related to husbandry storage information. By showing the storage capacities of different resources such as feed troughs, slurry, manure, milk, straw, and water before placing an animal husbandry, players will be able to plan their farms more efficiently.

The addition of the storage capacity information inline next to the animal count in the construction menu and shop will provide players with crucial information regarding the capabilities of each barn. This will help players understand the requirements for managing the resources produced by the animals, ensuring they can optimize their operations.

The inclusion of icons representing each fill-type will make it easier for players to identify different resources at a glance. For instance, seeing "external" displayed in orange will alert players that additional storage facilities like slurry pits or manure heaps are necessary for certain barns that do not have internal storage.

By omitting lines for resources that are not produced by certain animal types (e.g., pastures, chicken coops), unnecessary clutter will be reduced, improving the overall user experience.

This display add-on will purely show existing data without altering any gameplay mechanics, savegames, or multiplayer functionality. It will be a valuable tool for players to make informed decisions while planning their farms and managing their animal husbandries effectively.

Overall, this proposed feature will enhance the usability of the Build Menu in Farming Simulator 25, providing players with essential storage information upfront to optimize their farming operations.
