Corn cob silage V1.0.0.0

This mod adds ear corn harvesting and ear corn silage (ECS) to Farming Simulator 25. The entire process, from harvesting and ensiling to feeding, is integrated into the existing game.

Version 1.0 – PC / Singleplayer. Multiplayer and server play are not currently supported.

Features

• Everything has been tested using standard base-game buildings and machinery.
• Includes custom fill types, HUD icons, and trailer fill planes for fresh ear corn and finished ear corn silage.
• Compatible with standard forage harvesters and standard bunker silos.
• No BGA (biogas plant) processing included.
• No additional vehicles or silos required.
• Ear corn is harvested from standard corn crops, yielding approximately 45% of the volume typically obtained from standard forage harvesting.
• Freshly harvested ear corn can be stored in the base game’s standard bunker silos and fermented into ear corn silage.
• No additional, specialized silos are required. Standard ensiling of chopped material remains possible.
• The finished husklage (maize cob silage) can be fed directly or processed in a standard feed mixer wagon.
• Standard TMR production remains fully functional.
• The mixer wagon automatically detects the type of silage.
• You cannot use both types of silage at the same time; the mixer wagon must be empty first.

Husklage feeding

• Direct feeding: Husklage can be fed on its own, achieving a feed efficiency of 90%.
• Total Mixed Ration (TMR): Husklage can be processed in a standard feed mixer wagon, combined with hay and straw, to create a complete TMR with 100% feed efficiency.

Husklage-based TMR – Mixing ratio

The mixing ranges are intentionally broad, so precise, exact-measure dosing is not required. Mineral feed is optional. The total mixture must add up to 100%.
