LS 25 Pickup Plus V1.4.2.3
Load-dependent blockages, wear and purchasable spare parts for balers and forage wagons in FS25.
Pickup Plus
During material pickup, the knives, pickup tines and hold-down rollers wear out. High speed and a high material throughput increase the load. Above 70% of the pickup capacity, the machine increasingly slows down. In the event of a blockage, material pickup is stopped until the blockage is cleared.
Menu and Simple Mode
Open General Settings → Pickup Plus in the pause menu and select the operating mode.
The mod functions are paused when they are switched off. The equipment then operates with the normal FS25 functions.
Simple Mode disables blockages for players and helpers and clears existing blockages. Load, load limit, wear and spare-part maintenance remain active.
This activates all mod functions. When a blockage occurs, the field worker ends its task and reports the reason. Restart it after the blockage has been cleared.
The operating mode is saved in the savegame. In multiplayer, it is set by the host or server administrator.
Spare Parts and Partial Maintenance
You can find suitable spare parts under HMT Spare Parts. Individual boxes contain 50 knives, 100 pickup tines or four roller clamps. The roller clamps are available in two versions. You can buy several boxes at once or use pallets for larger quantities.
Stop and switch off the baler or forage wagon. The tractor engine can continue running. By default, place boxes or pallets from your farm within a radius of five metres. Partial maintenance begins as soon as a suitable spare part is available. If ten parts are required and five are available, five are installed. The final report shows the number of spare parts still required.
Clearing the pallet takes eight seconds and does not consume any spare parts. Replacing the parts takes 20 seconds. The parts are consumed after successful completion. Partially used boxes and pallets retain their remaining contents.
HUD and Controls
The HUD displays the workload and component status. You can adjust the font size (large or small) for your personal HUD.
Left Ctrl + left Alt + 3 toggles the HUD on or off.
Left Ctrl + left Alt + 4 toggles repositioning mode on or off. Drag the HUD while holding the left mouse button. Camera and zoom inputs are locked during this process.
Left Ctrl + left Alt + 5 switches the HUD size between 50, 25, 20 and 75% of the speedometer width.
Ctrl + Alt + Caps Lock starts or ends maintenance, provided no custom maintenance key has been saved.
Under Options → Controls, the HUD actions and maintenance functions can be freely assigned. A saved keyboard or controller binding for maintenance replaces the default Caps Lock binding.
