FS22 Advanced Addon Pack

Advanced Addon Pack:

Version 1.1.0.0

Note: While I do test what I can think of, there is no way I can catch every bug or conflict that could potentially occur. I do, however, try to get to the more major issues as fast as I possibly can. Also, I'm working on some translations, bear with me.

Known Issues:
- There is an issue with the anhydrous version of PF that will make the field moisture disappear from the hud. Advanced Addon uses the info layers from the normal PF to calculate moisture values. I'm not sure of a work-around yet, nor am I sure it's just the field hud affected. I think everything works, and it's more of a display type thing. For now, it's a known issue however.

This is a project started by ideas/requests by my Patreon members. It's an ever evolving project that is intended to bring some of these requested features to life. Advanced Addon is a modular system, where each piece can be enabled/disabled through your modSettings thAdvancedAddon.xml file.

Currently, it comes with two features. The first, the conversion system is primarily a tool for controlling what happens to the crops at harvest time. The goal is to allow for more possibilities without having to add a bunch of fruit or fillTypes. Some of the conversion features are as follows:

• Convert any foliage to any foliage at harvest time
• Convert any foliage state to any foliage state at harvest time
• Convert any crop to any fillType at harvest time
• Convert fillType output or yield at harvest time
• Output any fillType as straw at harvest time
• Convert straw output or yield at harvest time
• Allow harvesting outside of harvestable range
• Convert (or remove) the ground chopper layer at harvest time
• Convert the ground texture after harvest
• Output real chopped straw material to the ground at harvest time
• Remove the haulm layer of haulm enabled crops after harvest

This is all done based on conditions at harvest time. For example, you may want to swap to a green stubble layer when harvesting green crops, and only use a brown stubble layer when you harvest brown crops. Lots of possibilities with this one.

The second feature is the moisture system. I've put a lot of work trying to simulate things as best I can. It currently simulates humidity, and takes things like current/upcoming weather conditions, wind, and ground factors into account to generate a harvest moisture value. This moisture will likely be used for other things down the road, but for now it just adds another layer of strategic gameplay to the mix.

If you have to harvest before a crop becomes dry enough, you can use one of the new storage dryers to dry it down before selling. Selling a crop too wet will result in penalties. Future versions will include storage decay and stations outright refusing crops that are too wet.

The moisture hud inside of vehicles can be hidden by pressing right shift + 1 by default. There is also a new bar underneath the fill level bar that is a visual representation of how the crop is doing moisture wise. The length of the bar is how wet the crop is. The color represents the yield/value at that moisture. Red means you are getting a yield reduction or will receive a bad sell price for that crop at the current moisture. Green means you are doing good. Yellow is everything in between.

More to add, but it has been stable enough in testing for me to be comfortable releasing the package here. Like I said, there's no way I can catch everything, so I'll deal with bugs and/or conflicts as they come across my radar.

And as always, if you are a fan on my work, consider donating or supporting me by joining my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/ThundRFS. That's where most of my attention is focused nowadays, and I do try to get as much as what is asked of me done. Remember, I'm just one guy and there are only so many hours in a day lol.

Enjoy!
