This script is designed for the Premos 5000 and Bale Shredder from the Straw Harvest add-on. It automatically feeds square bales to the machine while you are elsewhere on the farm.
YOU NEED: Straw Harvest add-on
Features
- Works only on the Premos 5000 and Bale Shredder from the Straw Harvest add-on.
- Remains inactive on every other vehicle, with no key binding, panel or code running.
- Park the machine, place square bales next to it, and switch the loader on with
LEFT CTRL + N. - Feeds square bales onto the intake conveyor one at a time.
- Round bales are ignored.
- The drop height is calculated from the size of each bale, so any square bale fits.
- The conveyor is located in the machine itself instead of being calculated from fixed offsets.
- A status panel in the top left corner shows how many bales are in range, how many are queued on the belt and how many have gone in.
- On-screen markers show where to drop the bales and which places on the belt are free or occupied. They are enabled by default and can be shown or hidden with
F6. - When the belt is full, the loader waits instead of piling bales on top of each other.
- When the tank is full, the machine pauses and starts again once there is room.
- The pellet tank of the Premos 5000 is changed at runtime from 9,000 to 40,000 litres. Removing the mod restores the original 9,000 litres.
- No new vehicles, models or textures. This is a script.
- Single player only.
Specifications
- Pellet tank capacity before the change: 9,000 litres
- Pellet tank capacity with the mod: 40,000 litres
Settings
Optional settings are located in modSettings/FS25_AutoBaleLoader/settings.xml. The pick-up zone, drop position, queue length and movement speed can be adjusted there without opening the zip.
