BGA FlowControl V1.0.0.0 provides feed and recipe control for the modular biogas plants from the Pumps N’ Hoses DLC. It supports adjustable feeding, mono- or mixed-fermentation, and alternative substrates in the dosing hopper.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This mod requires the official “Pumps N’ Hoses Pack” (DLC) and optimizes its modular digesters and dosing hoppers.
Features
- 1. Dynamic Recipes Instead of Mandatory Silage: If there is no silage in the fermenter, biogas production no longer stops. The plant dynamically adjusts its recipe and ferments only the substrates that are actually stored in the tank.
- 2. Feed control at the push of a button (0% to 140%): Control the feed rate directly at the digester in fine increments:Button assignments can be freely customized in the game menu.
- Button B: Toggle solid feed, Off / 20% / 40% / 60% / 80% / 100% / 120% / 140%
- Button N: Toggle slurry feed, Off / 20% / 40% / 60% / 80% / 100% / 120% / 140%
- 3. Buffer Filling for Servers & Absences: Set the feed rate to 120% or 140% to replenish the system faster than the reactor consumes it. This allows you to specifically replenish the fermenter’s internal supply on Dedicated Servers before extended absences or overnight. The “Off (0%)” setting enables targeted mono-fermentation of pure manure or pure solids.
- 4. Integrated Substrate Converter on the PnH Bunker: The dosing bunker accepts additional crops as bulk material or bales, if available on the map, and automatically converts them into the appropriate base substrate upon loading using a fair, energy-equivalent yield ratio:
- To silage: CCM (144%), dried silage corn (109%), beet pulp (103%), haylage (103%), grass silage (97%), clover silage (94%), brewer’s grains (94%), alfalfa silage (91%), fresh grass (56%), green rye / field grass, and much more.
- For manure: Straw (52%), compost (29%)
- For root crops: Potato pulp (100%), sugar beets (80%), potatoes (80%)
- 5. Live Telemetry in Infotrigger: Step up to the fermenter and keep an eye on all process data:
- Selected feed stage, including target flow rate (~L/h)
- Active substrate consumption for each individual raw material (~L/h)
- Actual methane yield (~L/h)
- Actual digestate production (~L/h)
- 6. Clean Residual Utilization & Multiplayer Support
- No bottlenecks due to minimum quantities: Residual stocks are completely fermented down to zero liters.
- 100% multiplayer and dedicated server compatible: All switch states and flow rates run synchronously across all clients under strict server authority.
- Access Restriction: Only authorized farm members can adjust feed levels.
