Creating your own personal edits of factories in Farming Simulator 22

[@benroman7946]

2 adjustments I've made that I really like: - increasing the cycles/hour & cost of forestry productions - lowering winter temperatures and increasing likelihood of blizzard conditions

[@b9bot148]

I'm glad you made it very clear Farmer Klein that edits are not permission to distribute as your own mod after. I'm sure the modders out there if they see this would applaud you.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

1:28 absolutely nailed it sir!! very well said!

[@FarmerKlein]

I call it how I see it.

[@goldendon511]

@@FarmerKlein only thing i could think of here especialy with the example you showed is to ask the original modder for permission. especially because it looks like an error on the mod author that it makes forage instead of TMR.

[@spiritualspinster4222]

I've been doing this with mods since FS19. It's fun to play with this for your own game. It gets easier every time you do it. I have very little experience with file editing, and I have no problem doing this. I learned a couple of new tricks from watching this though. Great informative video!

[@seanmurphy9632]

I updated the spinnery in the Packing Facility mod. It was giving 10 fabric for 2 wool and 5 cotton. Normally, 2 wool and 5 cotton produces 1 and 3 fabric respectively. So there was a 150% increase in product. The first year I did this, the excess fabric my tailor couldn't handle sold for over 600K. Seemed very OP. So I updated it to produce 6 fabric. This gives an increase of 50% over base wool and cotton, which I feel is adequate.

[@ericaasen4512]

So after countless hours of editing xml's and testing I have the actual formula. The base game is set to 24 hour months, so in the xml cycles per hour will be multiplied by 24. That's your cycles per month. Divide that by the number of days you have set per month in the options, divide that by 24, and that's your true cycles per hour rate. that's what you have to set in the xml to get the production number you want

[@SchultzModding]

You've made it all to simple! Well done sir!

[@tigxracing]

I totaly agree with you on making edits and then submitting them as your own. I did some modding editing in fs19 and starting to do some in 22 but for my own personal use. I was tempted once in 19 cause the edit I did turn out really well an thought it would be cool to share with the rest of the community but changed my mind because in good conscience even if I left original modder in tack I would still feel guilty \ So I just keep the things I do to myself. I got to tell ya editing in 22 is a lot different the way giants has everything restructured its better and simpler but its a learning curve for sure. As always a great vid love you honesty and your thoroughness Thank you Farmer Klein.

[@landonmauldin42]

As someone that just switched to pc from console thanks for the informative video. Now I know how I can edit my downloaded mod factory’s.

[@FarmerKlein]

Glad to have helped you out.

[@dubldee5364]

Forage is forage. The main ingredient of TMR in many cases. TMR might be like: 55% Forage 20% Corn 15% soybean or canola (meal) 5% sugar base (molasses, etc… maybe use raisins, sugar, cut beets?) 5% I had raisins written… but could swap for mineral feed. Many other ways to mix. TMR is a food source to increase milk production. So if you ever had a meat production factory, hopefully the cattle could also take grasses/hay and grains as their feed.

[@maria-dt5ux]

Need to watch this video sometimes before I'll remember, learn and understand it. But thank you for the video

[@chrishaugh1655]

Can you do a video showing how to change the file(s) necessary to reduce the speed at which vehicles need repaired and repainted? It feels like Giants painted tractors in FS22 with Crayola. It's ridiculous that my brand now 6.7 hour X9 is now missing paint on like 30% of the harvester. I like the idea of paint wear, it adds character to older tractors/equipment, but SIX HOURS OF USE?

[@Bendigo1]

It will be in the individual vehicle xml files. you have to look for it, it should be look like

[@Welsh_Sim_Farmer]

This is a great video, thanks for taking the time to explain this. If I wanted to add extra fill types for this such as horsegrass & Alfalfa. Where would I add those products? I can get the inputs to show in game but the factory won’t accept them

[@mrdio4625]

Now see your edit actually makes sense to me. I have never been able to figure out the math which says "Mix 4,000 liters of raw product together to get 1000 liters of finished product" , just always wondered where the other 3000 went.

[@espen4330]

Volume and mass are two different things though, what you are outputting could be more ore less dense

[@RacinJsn]

I can't wait for the windrowing wrapping baler mod to come out from fs19. Way OP

[@valamen]

Nice video, but why would someone make a TMR factory that does NOT output TMR? I know Farmer Klein fixed it, but im thinking about the original mod/config.

[@aseroxd]

Number of mods waiting to be tested: 608 Current average waiting time for newly submitted Mods: 8 workdays No wonder it slipped by the Modhub QA team.

[@stifstif9311]

Thanks bro, I add lime to sugar factory you are the best

[@samthumbfinger3124]

Your videos are my go to btw. Keep up the great work with the videos 👍

[@TARogers]

I was wondering if you knew if the method for making a multifruit seeder/planter has changed for FS22, cause I havnt got it to work yet, all I can get it to do is change from a planter to a sowingMachine

[@4utrouble879]

nice job, i like this. Thx Farmer klein

[@jessicatimm559]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@michaelhenry462]

great video, two questions, one do i have to make a copy of the file then make changes, or is it possible to just go into the original file and make number changes, second can this process be done on basically any item in the game, ie tractors, wagon load limits thanks

[@stratosstavrosverivakis8879]

Thank you . I was looking that , but for trailers and some small tractor of the basic game to modify to overpowered them . Can you do a video for that ?? If I make mod from that I told you , can I upload to the community to help the new small farmers or not ??

[@willemaurik6856]

tried it with some biodieselproduction... tried to convert it to being a soymilk production but it does'nt work.... did everything in the video but i cant find it in store. it does show in the downloadable tab, it does show in the mods selection. but not in the shop even though everything is the same.

[@colmortimer1066]

I found a seed bag mod the other day that had bags small of seed and fertilizer for $50 that you could carry. I ditched it because fertilizer should cost more than seed. I wonder if it would be this easy to edit. I never thought about digging around into the mod files. I will give it a go. :)

[@FarmerKlein]

Yep you can adjust the price easy enough.

[@michaelhenry462]

how did you get the formula for the amounts needed of each item to get the tmr

[@Vortex-Gamin]

Brilliant video. Super helpful.

Hi Vortex-Gamin nice name

[@EnigmaFarmer]

I'm changing a production mod for my own use, from using Propane to Methane and when I do it works no problem, but the fill type icon In the game for Methane doesn't show up, any idea how I can fix this, thank you

[@binks123]

Awesome vid and thank you, thank you and once again thank you for saying the part about being ***hole. Pepole posting someones' else hard work and just editing one or two things, are those ***holes!

[@FarmerKlein]

No problem!

[@0000bdc]

great video but is it possible for 2 inputs but only one is needed for the production to work ? example diesel factory

[@FarmerKlein]

This videos purpose isnt to provide you information on how to create a factory just adjust one's inputs and outputs. It seems you should look at a building that has multiple recipes and see how thats setup.

[@thefuneralhost]

Question, Can a mod in the file not have any input, and just spawn things every so often? Example- like a sawmill just spawn things without needing anything input? If someone is not that great at forestry? also is there anywhere to read up on custom or new filtypes? Comment: I totally agree with giving credit where credit is due, and not butchering anything and claiming you did the work.

[@michaelhenry462]

ok for us challenged here, a cycle is the recipe in and the product out correct? so 72 cycles a month would be 72 times the output number in this case 4000, that doesnt seem right im sure my math is off

[@FarmerKlein]

Yes, everything is measured over a months time period so regardless of how many days per month you play you get 12 months per year. a cycle would be the factory using X input to make Y output once. so if it does 72 cycles per month you could take the number of cycles by what the reciepie input and outputs are to get the total consumption and output per month. Its measured in liters usually so a 1000l pallet would make 4 pallets per month of the output.

[@David-nk3kq]

Worst part when I was starting to make edits is trying to work out the naming convention that they used for an item in game to the xml file.

[@squallystan2048]

Does this work with input/output with custom Corps from a modded map cause I can't get it to work

[@michaelreid5307]

Forage isn't completely useless. You can make it cheaply in a towed TMR mixer by adding hay & straw and as far as the cow barn is concerned, it treats it as hay.

[@FarmerKlein]

Have yiu actually tried? The barn i placed when testing that factory would not accept it.

[@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566]

Very nice. I have a few things I want to edit. Thank you very much.

[@mrghostpers0n]

awesome video! good details in explaining! also i was wondering, do you have some links with usefull information about ratio's (irl or modified to playable ingame), cause indeed some mods are a little to overpowerd, i think. greetings from holland :D

[@FarmerKlein]

I do not have anything like that. Skys the limit at this point on what mods are out there and what a player could adjust to make something work the way they want. Thats more or less up to you. Some are looking for realistic while others look for more of a 'farmcade' type experience.

[@mrghostpers0n]

@@FarmerKlein after a while searching on the web i have found some information, usefull enough to do some editing for myself 😇

[@strmtrooperwitapurplehelmt6414]

Great video

[@mr_awesomel]

Could you make a video or multiple videos on how to make trailers hold more, and how to make combines fast farm and increase capacity and unload speed

[@chrisasst]

Down load the real speed limit mod that came out yesterday. You can make everything fast farm.

[@NdMoreSpd1.0]

Most of the simpler things are found in the xml files. Make a copy of them first then poke through them to find the setting you want to alter. Notepad++ (which he uses in video) is free but not required, the base version of Notepad works, it just doesn't give you the context sensitive color coding and other visual ques your code is written right. Examples taken from the GIANTS John Deere S790 Mod: Price, edit this line: 390000 Price of an option: Power and speed of harvester itself: Combine capacity: Discharge Speed: Working speed is under the header: There are so many available variables you can find buried in the xml files, just please as FarmerKlein mentioned, keep these edits private, share amongst friends etc. but respect those who write the mods and don't repost these to other mod sites without their permission. And again, make copies, all of these are readily available and esily fixed by just downloading them again but who wants to stress out all of those electrons again ;)

[@ginov3860]

Nice work 👍

[@GoblinKnightLeo]

I justify this with the idea that if I own a production facility, I could choose to pay to upgrade the facility - ie. better ovens to bake bread and cakes faster.

[@djohnson1110]

thank you. i had that totally screwed up

[@masterenos]

Thanks for the video, I'd be able to do what I'd like to buy I cannot find the wood chip fill type id anywhere.

[@FarmerKlein]

Sorry commented on wrong comment. it should be woodchip when in doubt make some and put it in a bucket or trailer then save game and look at the save game xml as to what is in the bucket or trailer.

[@roush211]

I just can't get any xmls to work in game, they showvin my downloaded category, but not in game, so frustrating

[@Reppie.]

Will this only work on mods? I need to speed up my spinnery output cycles because they are overloaded...where would you find the file to edit an ingame factory?

[@FarmerKlein]

Editing base game items are not recommended as they will be reverted back on any game update. Its a bit more involved but the correct approach would be to export the production as a mod with giants editor and then make your changes to the mod and then edit the gave game to point the building to the mod vs the ingame version.

[@samthumbfinger3124]

You mentioned not being able to make edits in console. Do you know perhaps if the auto drive or GPS mod will be compatible with console.. Sorely needed at the moment

[@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566]

They are both script mods so they won’t be coming to console. Unless giants adds that function to the base game.

[@FarmerKlein]

Absolutely correct.

Soybean oii does not exist in game so you would have to create a whole new fill type.

[@Bendigo1]

try using a loader and bucket to pick it up. But yes, it is annoying.

[@dralord1307]

Im pretty annoyed. There doesnt seem to be an xml for the mixing recipes for TMR or Pigfood. Nor does there seem to be an xml for the animals. That makes doing things like custom mixes/feeds etc much more of a pain in the butt. Unless someone comes out with a scripting mod to take over the animal growth "IE FS19 Seasons Animals" then it really limits what you can do

[@JR-en8zw]

I am trying to make my tractors faster. not an easy thing to do

[@Bendigo1]

It actually is. In transmission, Just change the gear ratios. you can add a mit of torque to the ingine too if you want it to work right.
