Farming Simulator 19 mod demonstration: The Placeable GlobalCompany Sawmill Pack, created by Kastor.
I dare tosay that this is the best sawmill addon in the history of Farming Simulatorgames. It’s hugely satisfying, both to place and to use.
This iswhat you get when you install and start using this mod:
- The sawmill, which is necessary forthe other production facilities to work.
- A beam wrapping plant – Here, thebeams from the sawmill gets wrapped.
- Pallet production – The boardpallets go here to become more pallets.
- The power plant – This one turnswoodchips and bark mulch into electricity.
- A wood storage rack – You can addlogs to it or buy wood from it.
- And finally, a selling point whereyou can sell beams, wrapped beams, and pallets.
The onlythings you need to add yourself, are fuel for the power plant and logsif you don’t want to buy them from the wood storage.
Now, let’sconnect the dots. We’ll start with the wood storage rack.
The Wood Storage
This placeablestorage rack is more complicated than it looks. I’ll come to that. You can add logsthat you’ve cut in the woods to it, in all shapes and sizes. Once you’re closeenough, the rack “grabs” the logs automatically and turns them into new logs,12 meters long.
Because GlobalCompanycontrols the rack, it will produce slightly different looking logs that you canhandle with a front loader, for example. Once a log reaches 8,000 liters, it’sfinished and ready to be fed to the sawmill.
Yes, youcan buy wood from the wood storage, but it’s costly…
Note: Itsays “Wood Chips” in the output section, but it is still a manageable log.
The Sawmill
The sawmillis the heart of this mod. Feed it with wood, and you get several products inreturn. Here they are:
- Wood beams –The beams can be wrapped at the beam wrapper, then sold.
- Board pallets– Use the pallets with boards on to make new pallets at the pallets factory.
- Woodchips and bark mulch – The power plant uses it to make electricity.
You canfeed the sawmill with finished logs from the wood storage rack. It’s alsopossible to add logs directly to it, bypassing the wood storage.
The woodbeams and board pallets spawn outside the sawmill.
You’llfind heaps of woodchips and bark mulch within the outside bunkers.
The Beam Wrapper
You can addthe wooden beams from the sawmill to the beam wrapper. It stacks several beamstogether before wrapping them. The process takes quite a time, but it is worthit. You get paid a nice penny for each wrap you sell.
The Pallet Production
This iswhere you add the board pallets. The factory turns the boards into (yup, youguessed it…) new pallets. Again, it will take some time for the factory tomake a finished stack of pallets.
Once it’sready, you can sell the stacks at the selling point.
The Wood Power Plant
The sawmillproduces both woodchips and bark mulch. You can load both byproducts into thereceiving bunker outside the power plant. It will make electricity out of it,which makes you more money.
Note: Youneed to add fuel to the power plant to make it work.
The Selling Point
The last,but still critical, piece of the puzzle. The selling point is where you sellthe pallets and the wrapped beams. You can sell individual beams and boardpallets too. Here are a couple of examples of what I got for my products (onNormal Economic Difficulty):
- Wrapped beams:More than 7,000.
- One stack of pallets: More than 1,400.
FS19 Placeable SawmillPack Mod Specs
Kastor has,once again, proven himself as a marvelous modder for the Farming Simulatorgames. His pack of sawmill objects is one of his best achievements so far;especially all the animations impress the heck out of me.
It’s a fantastic mod for everyone that does a fair bit of logging in Farming Simulator 19. It might even make people want to do logging because of it. You owe it to yourself to, at least, check out the animations inside the different buildings. They are oddly satisfying…
It’s also super for everyone who enjoys driving big wheel loaders…
