All-In-One Cowshed V1.0

All-In-One Cowshed

Want a complete dairy farm but lack land! This Building is made for you.
A plot of land measuring 100×55 meters will be enough for you to have complete exploitation.

Note that it is recommended to disable free placement and instead enable alignment.

First of all install the stable building (Price: $400,000).

This will allow you to raise your cows with:
– 180 cows
– Capacities (in liters): Milk 120,000L / Straw 60,000L / Slurry 300,000L / Manure 400,000L / Food 80,000L

But also:
– to repair your vehicles.
– to sleep and change in your accommodation upstairs.
– to make your silage.
– to recharge your electric vehicles using solar panels which will also earn you $150 per hour.
– to refuel your thermal vehicles with 10,000 liter tanks.

When your finances allow you to do so, you can improve the stabling thanks to the 5 modules.

To install the modules, stack the canisters with matching numbers.

1st Cheese Factory Module (Price: $200,000):
Produce fresh cheese using milk from your cows (no need for a tank, the milk is directly transferred from your milk tanks), mature the fresh cheese in the cellar to be able to sell it, while waiting for prices to rise, store your stock in the fridge.

To handle the cheeses, pallets can be purchased in store.

2nd Storage Module (Price: $100,000):
Buy or transfer your fodder into the silos and then be able to collect them directly with your mixer, you prefer bales; the second platform allows you to store 500 bales.

3rd BGA Module (Price: $250,000):
You have too much slurry or manure to spread on your fields, use these to produce electricity, methane and digestate (capacities: Manure 30,000L / Slurry 60,000L / Digestate 90,0000L / Methane 30,0000L).

4th Dryer Module (Price: $150,000):
Dryer powered by methane allowing you to bring your grass directly to make hay. If you do not have a BGA to power the dryer, pallets of methane can be purchased in store. (Capacity: Grass 500,000L / Hay 550,000L / Methane 5,000L).

5th TMR Mixer Module (Price: $150,000):
Bring directly to the auger or put in the storage silos what is needed to make a ration, place a skip underneath and collect the directly mixed ration. (Capacity: 100,000L for each ingredient).

I may just have the wrong strategy going for using this cowbarn but:

  • When using TMR mixer set to distribute, the tmr just builds up
  • my solution is to use autodrive to automatically use a small truck to deliver tmr to the cowshed. This works ok until I try to adjust the path of an autodrive node and it sinks into the basement where I cannot reach it for further adjustment or deletion. Worse, since the autodrive paths in the cowshed are not over the cheese basement, there is no way to get to these nodes from below.
  • While slurry seems to be delivered to the BGA module, it is not as clear with the manure. I seem to have to use a front loader to scoop and deliver to the manure bin on the BGA, but the numbers in the BGA production settings don’t seem to change.
  • Best I can tell with 10 or so hours of play, the hay dryer has not yet delivered hay to the TMR mixer nor the hay bin, requiring me to set up autodrive truck path, which at least does not have to work over a basement.
  • It would seem to make sense to have a silage production unit integral or installable.

I like the ideal of this mod, but I’ve restarted my gamesave three times over the autodrive/basement issue so far.

After playing with this Mod for over 78 hours now, the most aggravating part Version 1.0 that needs fixing is the Cheese Factory. I can accurately place the production module, get milk from the base mod into the production module, make cheese and age it. Until I shutdown the savegame and restart. When I open up the savegame, the milk capacity of the cheese production module drops to “0”. The milk stays in the cowshed base mod, the “fresh cheese”, aging and aged cheese is all still there too. But no new fresh cheese generates. Fresh Cheese can be manually carried to the Cheese aging room and aged out, and while I have not done so yet, I assume I can sell it when the price is right. The only way I have found to get the mod creating new fresh cheese is to delete and reinstall the cheese production module, which I can reliably do and it then resets the milk capacity back to 211,000 liters and brings in whatever milk is available from the base cowshed and cheese production can be restarted. Deleting the Cheese production module does delete all Cheese left in any of the module rooms, however. So if you want to keep playing through new savegames, you have to wait to delete the cheese production module until you have aged out and removed all cheese from the cowshed. This is not a satisfactory solution.

Other production modules have less aggravating issues. Output modes on these modules do not work reliably. I can distribute methane to the hay dryer but cannot distribute the hay from the hay dryer. TMR does not distribute to the cowshed. I have not tested all of the cheese distribution, but like the manure, I see the product spawn at the collection points and assume I have to move them manually.

The autodrive nodes sinking to the basement when you move them is genuinely tiring to deal with while I have found that I can take a vehicle to the basement and delete the nodes, until you do, that autodrive path is useless. Reconnecting the existing nodes on the surface does fix the issue, but it makes using autodrive in the cowshed unnecessarily difficult.

I love the idea of playing with this mod when these issues get resolved. I am using Realistic Livestock Mod, and these work pretty well together. I use a solar powered silage production module, and a multifruit silo bring these inventory items closer to the cowshed.

¨sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the cheese factory dosent work. have like 32000L milk but all it says is that “missing material”

BUT! thats the only flaw i have found so far, and i really like your mod. its cool, its like really well thought out (allbeit the gates on the long side coud have been wider but)
and its fun to work with it.

I suspect the factory alignment is not perfect, so the milk cannot be pumped from the tanks into the cheese factory because the pipes do not line up properly.

The design flaw is that darn roof above barrels #1 and #2. You cannot get close enough to clearly see the barrels and align everything perfectly.

Great mod, but it still needs work.
