Krone Premos 5000 Autoload V1.1.0.0

Want the Premos 5000 to keep going while you handle another job? This script mod is made for the Premos 5000 and its Bale Shredder from the Straw Harvest add-on. It loads square bales automatically, so the pellet line can keep running while you are somewhere else on the farm.

YOU NEED: Straw Harvest add-on

Features

• Use it only with the Premos 5000 or the Bale Shredder from the Straw Harvest add-on. Nothing happens on another vehicle, since there is no key binding, panel or code running there.
• Single player only.
• There are no extra vehicles, models or textures. You are getting a script.
• Park the machine, bring the bales alongside it, and turn on the loader with LEFT CTRL + N.
• Square bales go onto the intake conveyor one by one.
• Round bales, contract bales and bales with a product the machine cannot process stay where they are and are ignored. The panel counts them and tells you why they are waiting.
• Straw and hay do not get mixed. The game loads hay bales automatically after the pellet tank no longer has straw pellets, and it works the other way round too.
• The drop height is worked out for the size of each bale, which lets any square bale fit.
• The conveyor comes from the machine itself, not from fixed offsets used for a calculation.
• Look at the top left status panel to see the bales in range, the bales queued on the belt and the bales already loaded.
• Your loader stays switched on when you save and reload. If the machine was running, it starts up again automatically.
• Markers on the screen point out where the bales should be dropped and which belt spaces are free or occupied. They start enabled, and F6 hides or shows them.
• No room on the belt means the loader waits. It does not pile the bales on top of each other.
• A full tank pauses the machine. It starts again when space is available.
• The first time the machine is loaded, the settings file appears automatically with the default values.

Specifications

• While running, the Premos 5000 pellet tank is raised from the original 9,000 litres to 40,000 litres.
• This does not change a game file. Take out the mod and the tank immediately goes back to its original 9,000 litres.
• If you lower the capacity while more pellets are inside than the new size allows, the extra pellets disappear when the game loads.
• You can change the tank size, pick-up zone, drop position, queue length and movement speed without opening the zip.

Find the settings at modSettings/FS25_AutoBaleLoader/settings.xml. The tank capacity is changed in settings.xml, and 0 keeps the original 9,000 litres.

Changelog

1.1.0.0

• Bales with a product the machine cannot process stay off the belt now, so they no longer block the queue.
• Straw and hay stay separate: the bale only reaches the belt when the pellet tank can accept its pellets. If it cannot, the bale waits on the ground and the panel tells you why.
• Contract bales are left alone.
• The game now saves whether the loader is on or off, and a running machine starts again by itself after loading.
• Adjust the pellet tank size in settings.xml, where 0 means the original 9,000 litres.
• The game creates settings.xml automatically with all values.
