FS25 Reconnect Manure Storage v1.0

Do your animal pens get dumped by their manure heaps when you reload your save? No warning, no goodbye — the shit just ups and leaves. Your cows have been putting in the work, and frankly, they deserve better.
ReconnectManureStorage helps everyone get their shit back together. It reconnects manure heaps to their rightful pens after each game load, because no animal should have to wonder where yesterday’s output went.
I wanted to call this “Give Me My Shit Back”, but I was told some mod portals have standards.

The Problem
FS25 has a base game bug where manure heaps and pits lose their connection to animal pens after reloading a savegame. When that happens, manure production stalls — the pen can’t offload manure to the heap, and the heap just sits there collecting dust instead of dung.

The Fix
After all placeables are fully loaded and finalized (Mission00nStartMission), the mod re-scans every manure heap for nearby animal pen stations using getExtendableUnloadingStationsInRange and getExtendableLoadingStationsInRange. Any missing connections are re-established.

The scan is idempotent — already-connected heaps are skipped. Zero performance impact during gameplay; runs once at load.

Installation
Place FS25_ReconnectManureStorage folder (or zip) in your mods directory
Enable the mod
That’s it — no configuration needed

Compatibility
Multiplayer: Supported (server-side only, no client action needed)
Savegame safe: Install or remove at any time, no savegame data stored

This is a great mod that addresses a frustrating issue in FS25 — the disconnection of manure heaps and pits from animal pens after a game reload. It's a clever solution to ensure that manure production continues smoothly without interruption.

The way the mod works, by re-scanning and re-establishing connections between manure heaps and animal pens after each game load, is a practical and efficient approach. It's good to know that this process is idempotent and has zero performance impact during normal gameplay, running only once at load.

The installation process seems straightforward and hassle-free, which is always a plus for players looking to improve their gaming experience without complex setup requirements.

The mod's compatibility with multiplayer, as server-side only, and its savegame safety, allowing installation or removal at any time without affecting save data, are important aspects that enhance its usability for a wide range of players.

Overall, ReconnectManureStorage (or the almost-named "Give Me My Shit Back") appears to be a helpful quality-of-life mod that addresses a specific issue in FS25, providing a smoother and more realistic gameplay experience for those who manage animal pens and manure production.
