BALING CONTRACTS REVISITED! CAN BALES BE TAKEN? SHOULD THEY? ON FARMING SIMULATOR 25!!

[@timehiker8248]

you didn't get paid for that bale because I hear there is an undercover FIB agent in Riverbend Springs trying to stop all these corrupt farming practices. He is onto you!

[@robn71]

In the words of a well know farmhand that's a lot of faffing for a couple of bales

[@JelsaFarmer]

Thanks for the shoutout MrSealyP, glad it helped you out 😊 It took me a couple of evenings to test this out too 😂 I know straw bales can for some reason be picked up with pallet forks.! which is strange due to it not working with spikes or grabbers.

[@pinkpanther666]

Since the first update, you now get penalised for putting the bales into storage

[@reinofkaos]

Makes sense. Converting it to loose silage is just silage laundering. 😂

In any future situation where you aren’t sure if you should post a video like that, I think you should definitely post it. Even if it’s not the answer you were expecting or hoping for, it’s still informative. I was wondering this exact thing

[@oldrockmandan5342]

Something I've noticed with fs25 contracts. You can purchase the land while doing the contract, it doesn't end the contract. So try purchasing the field during the contract, finish it, collect payment. Maybe by purchasing the land, the bales will stay and be able to take them. This works with mowing contracts, I baled the grass after purchasing contracted land, collected payment to complete contract, then took the grass by bale or forage pickup before selling land back, kept every liter of grass.

[@chrisjones6002]

Basically flipping the field and getting a contract too. That's interesting. I have mixed feelings about flipping fields. It feels a little cheaty but if I'm playing solo and having fun, who cares. Also, it's nothing new, people did it in 22 so they could have prevented it in 25 if they wanted.

[@tonybeck7963]

Probably works on sileage bales as you have to pick them up to wrap them.

[@SinkyYT]

My guess would be the silage bales the game has to let you pick them up to wrap them and the hay doesn't so they have some sort of setting to only let you pick up silage bales.

[@Cyclophan]

Thanks for posting the information! Science always prevails!

[@bradyleopold861]

Mr.sealy P try a bucket loader with a silage grappler for the straw bales. Try putting the straw bales in the animal feeder with a pallet fork.

[@jacobdircksen5661]

Has anyone else noticed when you load things on trailers and strap them down the weight of the item is reduced to help with tipping. I first noticed it on wood transport contracts. And again loading 20k cotton bales on a trailer they went from 4t to 100kg when strapped. 👌 bravo Giants. Edit: pallets don’t seem to be affected… so just wood and bales?

[@sparkygaming7495]

[@andreyokoyama4808]

I am playing on PC for the square bale contract, I own the square baler, the baler usually have 2 full bales and a partial by the time the contract hits 100%, if you collect the contract they remain in the baler when all the ones in the ground vanish, if you go and dump them and sell you get paid normally, it is only the final 2 bales though.

[@pinkpanther666]

That's a handy tip for those playing somewhat realistically. Edit: I already knew about what's left in the baler. Others may not have known about either

[@DaisyMayGarland]

I did exactly that but with the contract supplied baler and I got nothing when I sold them.

I can see the headline now: Crooked F.I.B. Agent Indicted in Massive Bale Laundering Scheme 😂

[@AndirHon]

You can also get money for crop harvesting as well. I did this with peas and another vegetable. The trick is to finish the field harvest before turning in your last wagon full. I found it helps to have your own trailer and just let it sit near the turn in. This will let you clear the field since it will not hit 100% until you dump your last trailer load. Once the field is clear, then turn in your last trailer(s) and you'll complete the field and get credit for the remaining crop.

[@Adam-tp6ch]

Lol. This isn't a trick. It's always worked like that. There is always leftover crop on every contract you do. You can sell it or keep it for yourself. You just have to make sure you put it in your silo before you complete the contract if you're not using your own equipment.

[@S1mL1fe]

Yes I finished the contract and put 1550 liters in my silo

[@chrisjones6002]

Yep, often the extra crop is worth more than the contract. It was like that in 22 as well.

[@jimjasutis5046]

@@Adam-tp6ch I tried to use the Macdon swather on a harvest contract to see if I would get the extra crop yield, but unfortunately it wouldn't let me use the Macdon on a contract.

@@Adam-tp6ch A better trick is to simply buy the land, harvest the previous owners hard work then sell him the barren field back to him to manage for next season. 🤣

[@AndirHon]

I think the bail trick is that when wrapping you are changing the owner state. In the XML it's marked as a contract bail, so if you turn it in you will lose them.

[@belfastfarmer]

Honestly, give it up. Just make your own bales. Who can be arsed with all that lol

[@nevstargaming]

You can now use steering assist when doing bailing 👌

[@brianboruroyalty]

Well done to the original OFF ( old farts farmer ) , Mr jelsa 🎉. Thanks mrsealyp for taking the time to test it out !

[@Adam-tp6ch]

You probably have to use them to keep them. It's like the deadwood contracts. I have a sawmill on the farm and fill it with the deadwood then pile a couple trees of overstock beside it. When the contract finishes the extra wood disappears but the wood in the sawmill stays put. I don't think just taking them to the farm will change anything. You probably have to use them. If you put them in a barn or something as food or bedding, you will keep that, but a loose bale on the farm will vanish. Keep in mind I'm typing this before watching your whole video so if it's answered or confirmed I didn't know but this is what I'd guess.

[@jonny5777]

I do the same thing

[@IRSHBOY1981]

Prefer the 22 contract system. Love the extra variety of contracts, but preferred the 22 system.

[@KevinAlwaysDies]

Hmmm...it's almost as if you're not supposed to take bales from a baling contract and sell/use/keep them for yourself. 🤔

[@darrenbanner590]

You have to let them turn into silage and put them in the feeder wagon and they are yours

[@remcoveenendaal2607]

I watched another youtuber doing the same test. His result was do not collect the contract, wait until the bales are silagebales and put them in a feedermixer. Then you can use them for feed of you can sell them.

Anyone who needs a proper narrative or gets upset with this is awesome 🤣 I would love a life where I can be upset about things like this.

[@burnsyd17]

Honestly Paul, like you said "it's information sharing". It's important to share as the game develops. We KNOW from 15 to 17 to 19 to 22 to 25 there's been any number of things that change (often radically) in the early days/weeks after a new release as Giants doesn't ever really TELL us their "intention" when things change or even give us fully flushed out "patch notes" describing not just the WHAT but also the WHY when something changes.

[@StewPedassle]

Exactly. This is about insight into game mechanics rather than advice about exploits. For example, that first bit where the contract wasn't complete until he brought them back to the field, especially combined with them previously being non-interactable once dropped, makes me think this behavior flows from updating the contracts system to avoid certain previous issues (specifically harvesting an entire field and not being able to complete the contract because you haven't delivered enough product).

[@ericdrake4934]

You need to put them in a bale and pallet storage before collecting on the contract. Then you will have bales

[@Eddy_Grimm]

This is because items in "bale and pallet storage" don't exist like the ones that haven't been dumped from a square baler which you can also keep..

[@AndirHon]

You wrap the whole field, get it to the completion state, then you can take the bails before completing it.

[@stevebender2265]

So when it comes to Mowing and also the Baling contracts...for mowing I'm wondering if you mow, then bale/wrap, stick in storage, can you keep all those silage bales if done before you collect?

[@stevebender2265]

Further scientific testing has proven my hypothesis to be false. Mow it, but you can’t collect it. The game waved its finger at me in disapproval.

[@ChristopherDenneySeedy]

I don't know if you've seen the similar stuff going around on deadwood contracts and the small sawmill; maybe any contract where the product isn't being sold, as part of the contract, can be placed into a container of some kind, to keep. (or used for further manufacturing) Assuming one can manipulate said product.

[@pinkpanther666]

It looks like giants software has nerved the silage price with every release after the first farming simulator title to have silage

[@cletusaschoff7475]

I've been wondering why giants never made a contract that you do everything from plowing to harvest and you get paid by the amount you do so if you dont plow cultivate fertilize or weed you lose that much of the contract

[@barbdavey3164]

The wife did this in FS22. She'd take enough bales to the sell point to fulfill the contract, then pick up the rest for herself. After she had them back home, she'd complete the contract and get paid.

[@barbdavey3164]

Honestly, all this testing - kudos to you guys for putting yourselves through this. LOL

[@leesullivan8532]

The in game bale and storage just put a tractor on the loading block to stop the bales from re-entering the bale and storage and then you can retrieve them

[@uncle_zlivo]

Slightly off topic but I did a bale wrapping contract with the Anderson wrapper (which doesn't work on contracts btw) so I failed the contract, the wrapped bales remained in the field after and were marked as owned by me but I still didn't get paid for them when I sold them.

[@GNiessen]

If you look at the XML files in the save folder you can see that the bales are associated with the mission. It might work if you sell them or use them before claiming the reward for the mission.

[@marcus0277]

My feedback only (not insults or angry comment): IMO, this video was way too long. I gave up after 20 mins. Some useful info, I'm sure, but too much exposition and waffling about whether or not you'd post the video. Just my opinion, but that's what I like about FarmerCop testing videos. They get to the meat of the information quickly and present the results concisely.

[@AndirHon]

Something I have not tried yet, but I noticed it was odd. You can't pick up bails from the ground from a bailing contract. But you can pick a bail off a bailer output with forks/spikes. I don't know if there's code that prevents picking it up when the bail is finally ejected and hits the ground or what is going on. But I have found that I can spike a bail on the bailer and pull it off. I thought it would be quite annoying to have to do that for each and every bail so I never made a test for it.

[@calebkepple1964]

Did you know that the placed on pressure washer or jet wash can be moved once placed

[@pyrosparkes]

have you tested bailing up the swath from harvesting contracts? i think thats the version of this i watched recently, and i beleive they did get paid, but they sold the bails before collecting the contract reward. makes sense i guess as if the contract is related to the actual bail, it might be more specific about ownership, but the bits left on the field after harvest may not have an ownership programmed into it.

[@Rumblestrip]

Even in 22 it took 96 in game hours to ferment bales... I stopped baling sileage and used a silo fairly early on, as it was faster. I havent tried in 25.

[@SebastianLong]

Good information, but i wont be doing it. At least not on my main game save file. Glitches or using loopholes is very cheaty and destroys the legitimacy of that save game. The only time i would use something like that trick on my main save file is if i bought something and it doesnt work as desired or something else goes wrong and I forgot to save beforehand and have to sell it 30 seconds later taking a massive loss, i would do it then. Like for example: on my main save game file on FS22, i bought the silo extension to store the extra slurry from the cow barn thinking i would have been able to get the slurry out of it. Didnt work like that and i sold it for a loss and bought a small field, harvested it and sold the product to get back the total value i spent on the silo extension. I wouldnt do that unless under that type of circumstance because again, the value of that save would have been lost to me.

[@rickmauser7674]

Hi Mrsealyp question so let say you just farm the fields around the start farm. What happens to the fields that are further away that you don't buy even though they are ready to harvest just wondering 😊

[@marcus0277]

They eventually change states. I'm not sure how quickly, and I'm not sure if they follow the seasonal planting/harvesting schedule, but they don't sit in one state indefinitely waiting for you to take the contract.

[@SinkyYT]

I'm curious. Does the 200 bale limit still stand when you have bales in storage?

[@tractors.trains]

The 200 limit is bales ON the map. If you put them in storage they are no longer ON the map therefore using storage you can have as many bales as you want.

[@tonybeck7963]

you maybe have to sell them before collecting on the contract

[@andrewcullinane8112]

Will it register as feed if you put it in a cow barn?

[@lindacaruthers7873]

SHOULD YOU SELL THEM OR TAKE THEM TO YOUR FARM BEFORE COMPLETING CONTRACT

[@matto1587]

I wonder if using your own round baler with straw if it would work

[@lizardonastick]

Another possible (but equally unreasonable) end-point problem: Will the silage bails even work as feed since they didn't work when selling? Will they just disappear when dropped in the feeding trough?

I miss the fs22 mowing contracts. They were much more profitable since you always had extra bales. I liked to mow the grass around the fields too to add a little extra. Sometimes I'd do a sileage contract and I wouldn't wrap the bales, I took them as grass and used my own sileage to complete it.

[@UltraCasualPenguin]

Hopefully farmers don't ask you to help. Otherwise there would be a lot of angry farmers in Yonkshire.

[@Qualjyn]

I don't have a problem with exploring these sorts of things for exploration and education purposes, but as far as actually doing it in the game, you might as well just cheat in some money and buy some bales.

You’re changing the state of the bale to be wrapped it has to be grabbable. The straw you don’t have to change the state of the bale to just pick up a row.
