FS25 Small Corn Dryer v1.0.0.1

A small maize dryer will help you to reduce the moisture content of your crop and sell it at higher prices. It is ideal for smaller and medium-sized farms.

Changelog 1.0.0.1:
– Fixed an error related to the fillType of dry corn

In addition to the main building, you will also find buildings in the package that allow you to sell the dried maize.

Small Corn Dryer:
– Price: 21390$
– Daily maintenance: 20$
– Capacity: 15000 L of wet maize
– Production cost (1 hour): 235$

WHAT IS THE PROCESS AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF THE DRYER?
To dry an entire tank of wet maize (15,000L), the dryer requires 6 hours of operation.
At maximum use (4 cycles), your daily production costs will be a maximum of €2,000.
After drying one tank (due to weight loss) you gain 12,900L of dry maize.

Let’s compare the maximum wet and dry maize prices and the potential profit.
– Wet maize – MAXIMUM 900$ / 1000L
– Dry maize – MAXIMUM 1600$ / 1000L

Assuming you dry 51,600L of maize at maximum daily use, you will be able to earn around €80,560 from it in the best period (after deducting production costs)
Selling wet maize (at 60,000L – no losses) you would have an income in the region of €54,000 in the best sales period.
This shows that drying maize can bring you up to 50% more profit compared to regular maize.

Thank you for providing detailed information about the Small Corn Dryer v1.0.0.1 in FS25. Let's break down the process and cost-effectiveness of using the maize dryer based on the data you shared:

1. **Process**:
- The dryer has a capacity of 15,000 liters of wet maize and requires 6 hours of operation to dry a full tank.
- Each hour of production costs 235$, and the daily maintenance cost is 20$.
- It can produce up to 12,900 liters of dry maize from a full tank of wet maize.

2. **Cost-effectiveness**:
- Maximum daily production cost at full use (4 cycles) would be 6 hours x 235$ = 1410$
- After drying one full tank of maize, the potential profit can be calculated based on the difference between wet and dry maize prices:
- Wet maize price: 900$/1000L
- Dry maize price: 1600$/1000L
- Assuming you dry 51,600L of maize daily at max use:
- Expected profit from dry maize = (51.6 * 12.9 * 1600) - 1410 = 80256$
- Expected profit from selling wet maize = 54,000$

3. **Conclusion**:
- Drying maize using the Small Corn Dryer can potentially increase profits significantly, up to 50% more compared to selling wet maize directly.
- The process allows you to sell dry maize at a higher price point, maximizing your income during the best sales period.
- Despite the production costs, the profitability of using the dryer seems promising, especially for smaller and medium-sized farms looking to optimize their maize sales.

Overall, the Small Corn Dryer v1.0.0.1 seems like a valuable asset for farmers aiming to enhance their maize drying process and increase their earnings in FS25.
