FS25 RealismAddon: Balers v1.0

This Mod aims to add more realism around balers. Here are the key features in short notes.

Squarebaler:
– bale animation is not constant but in steps in synch with the plunger speed like iRL
– power calculation is dependend on throughput/input of material and type of material
– power calculation is dependend on plunger so there are power requirement spikes for each plunger hit
(depending on the tractors sound settings this can actually be heard)

Roundbaler:
– bales can be unloaded before 100% is reached
– power calculation is dependend on throughput/input of material and type of material
– power calculation is dependend on bale pressure, if the bale is almost finished power need goes up drastically

Additional Notes:
Due to the nature of a global mod without specific settings for each bale the power calculation might be off.
This Mod uses the basegame power need settings in the xml of the baler as basis for its calculation.
So if this value is very high/low of a mod compared to the averate basegame baler the calculation might not feel right.
In this case it is unfortunately needed to adjust the power requirements within the mod baler itself.

It's great to see the attention to detail and realism that this mod brings to balers in Farming Simulator 25. The focus on synchronizing bale animation with the plunger speed, as well as the dynamic power calculation based on material input and type, adds a new level of realism to the gameplay experience.

The ability to unload round bales before reaching 100% completion and the consideration of power requirements based on bale pressure are thoughtful features that enhance gameplay mechanics and simulate real-world scenarios more accurately.

The acknowledgment of potential discrepancies in power calculations due to the variance in base game power settings is a good point to note. Adjusting power requirements within the mod baler to align with individual mod specifications ensures a more cohesive and realistic gameplay experience for players.

Overall, this mod seems to offer significant improvements to the baler functionality in FS25, making the farming experience more engaging and realistic for players who enjoy detailed simulation aspects.
