Extreme Sheep farming
Re: Extreme Sheep farming
I just found out that you will continue to have wool being made even without grass in the trough which is nice. It may be at a reduced rate, but this means that my 3000 sheep aren't just doing nothing. I also changed my trailer so that it's just like JoshK said. I don't want to have 2 copies of the same trailer when I can just have 1.

Re: Extreme Sheep farming
After all the potatoes and sugar beets, I decided to take my chances in the wool business.
I read almost all the threads in this topic, and I learned a lot already! But I was wondering, is there a decent mod to haule the wool pallets?

Re: Extreme Sheep farming
If you read the last few pages, you'll find that a few of us were able to edit a mod listed in this topic to haul 89 pallets at once. You just need to download the mod and add the appropriate changes.

Re: Extreme Sheep farming
Thanks RubberPIX, I think I may have read over that line
Re: Extreme Sheep farming
Does the amount of grass needed in the fill trough vary with the amount of sheep you have. I seem to think I read somewhere that the amount of grass feed you need is the same no matter how many sheep you have. If that is the case it doesn't make sense.

Re: Extreme Sheep farming
The amount of grass you can deposit at the sheep pen rises as you buy more sheep. Not sure about numbers though
Re: Extreme Sheep farming
I think I read it holds a max of 6 days worth so if that 6 days amount gets bigger proportional to the number of sheep then it does increase and makes more sense.

Re: Extreme Sheep farming
I don't like to use "cheat" mods, like the one the holds 89 pallets; besides, it takes too long to fill up. I use a trailer that was designed for round bales, but works great for wool pallets. You can easily load 10 pallets; there's plenty of space...much more than the blue trailer. It also has a low rail (designed to keep the round bales from falling off), that actually strips the wool pallet from the forks as you back away.Vincitore wrote:I read almost all the threads in this topic, and I learned a lot already!

Re: Extreme Sheep farming
Do you guys focus on only the sheep farming or do you guys also harvest potatoes or any other type?
I don;t like the trailer that can hold 89 pallets. I think that a maximum of 10-12 pallets is enough for me right now.
Besides, which trailer is that? Is it a mod or an ingame trailer?

Re: Extreme Sheep farming
my 1200 sheep are a side business. I have 12 fields, including a beet farm(14,15/16) with biga$$ harvester and a corn farm (#13). I also have some bees and 15 solar panels. In the village, I own the Gasthaus. Please, you Americans, do not sit at the Stammtisch, unless invited. Even with all that, I still have down time.
Re: Extreme Sheep farming
If you run at RealTime, this sheep farming would have to get extreme indeed to be full time.
I like to get crops in the ground, my cow feed sorted and grass baled up, and then accelerate time so the crops grow -- with 1000 sheep at 120x speed, I have trouble keeping up with the pallets, basically during this ten minutes all I'm doing is driving my frontloader around schlepping wool onto the trailers. When the first field goes green, I go back to realtime, drive the trailer to the wool depot and then go back to 'real' farming

Nice work CornetPlayer! I suggest you have the help of a few dedicated helpers?CornetPlayer wrote:my 1200 sheep are a side business.

I just need some help to load the blue trailer with pallets. When I load the wool pallets onto the blue trailer, the trailer always going to tip to one side and falls over to one side.
How do you guys load a trailer, maybe a video?
Re: Extreme Sheep farming
How about lifting TWO pallets at the time..? :p
Re: Extreme Sheep farming
I'm sorry, but uploading the mod with the changes without the consent of the mod's creator is a no-go in my book. Doing so would be extremely rude, in my opinion. The details you need on downloading the mod and then editing them are contained in just a few posts.darkless2012 wrote:Hi, you mention you were able to edit the mod to accept wool pallet. seen the screenshot it really nice, and it is I'm looking for. can you plz upload and share them?

I'll have to end it there, not sure if it helped or made sense, but it's been a long few days for me. Not enough sleep and having to assemble a new table really took it out of me. Sure, part B SHOULD fit into part C, but I don't see that happening without a friggin hammer!?!

*Edit* Of course nothing says I can't uploaded the file that was modded for you to download. Just copy and paste the following file in the ubt.lua file and make sure to erase all the text in that file before pasting. Also, make a backup of the mod before making the changes in case you want the original again for multiplayer. I'm also sorry that I originally posted that it was the moddesc.xml file that needed changing.
