LS 25 Increased Baler Pickup Width v1.0.0.0
I made this because I wanted a bit more forgiveness when baling, without turning the baler into a 30 foot wide vacuum cleaner.
There are already mods that claim to increase pickup or working width. During testing, though, I found that some of them only change the listed working width or work area values. They do not consistently expand the actual area where the baler collects material from the ground. On the balers I tested, the machine still had to be almost directly over the grass or windrow before it would pick anything up.
This mod adjusts the baler’s real pickup work area, so material can actually be collected outside the physical width of the pickup.
What it does
Adds approximately 5 meters of total pickup width
Adds about 2.5 meters to each side of the baler
Works with the baler’s actual material pickup area
Works with grass, hay, straw, and other normal baleable windrow materials
Designed for base game balers and should also work with most normally configured modded balers
Does not change bale size, capacity, speed, or production
Does not make the pickup ridiculously wide
I originally tested this at a much larger width and it worked, but it felt far too aggressive. This version was scaled back so baling is still easier while remaining reasonably believable.
