Variable Bunker Silo V1.0

Variable Bunker Silo V1.0

Category: Silos
Price: $100 per m² of interior floor (40 × 60 × 4 m: $240,000)
Daily upkeep: 0.1 % of the price (40 × 60 × 4 m: $240)

With VariableBunker, you get a single silo that adapts to your farm instead of the other way around. Choose a Bunker silo with a rear wall or a Drive-through silo open at both ends, and set the interior width, length and wall height freely in construction mode. Walls, collisions, the silo area and all placement areas follow the selected dimensions, and the purchase price grows with the size. The estimated capacity is shown live while you configure the silo.

Dimensions:
Interior width: 6–100 meters
Length: 20–200 meters
Wall height: 2–4 meters, up to 8 meters after enabling it in the settings (every meter above or below 4 meters changes the price by 12.5 %)

Material piles up to the wall height at most and never higher than the map allows. Most maps, including all base game maps, stop at 4 meters, so higher walls would only cost more. Wall heights above 4 meters are therefore switched off by default and only worth enabling on maps with a higher fill limit.

Approximate capacity at 4 m / 8 m fill height, Drive-through silo in brackets:
6 × 20 m: 410,000 / 710,000 l (340,000 / 450,000 l)
10 × 40 m: 1,500,000 / 2,800,000 l (1,400,000 / 2,400,000 l)
20 × 60 m: 4,600,000 / 8,800,000 l (4,300,000 / 7,900,000 l)
40 × 60 m: 9,100,000 / 18,000,000 l (8,700,000 / 16,000,000 l)
30 × 100 m: 12,000,000 / 23,000,000 l (11,000,000 / 21,000,000 l)
50 × 150 m: 29,000,000 / 58,000,000 l (29,000,000 / 56,000,000 l)
100 × 200 m: 79,000,000 / 156,000,000 l (78,000,000 / 152,000,000 l)

Options:
Concrete floor slab (free): flush with the silo or with an extended apron
Floor grid in front of the entrance ($10,000): takes chaff, grass and hay while the silo is open (grass and hay become chaff liter for liter)
Loading point at the same spot ($10,000): loads silage after fermentation and cuts it from the entrance as a clean face from wall to wall; its rate can be set with AdjustSuite ADR-P
Compaction service at the grid ($5,000): compacts the remaining material at once for a contractor fee
AutoDrive course ($5,000): generated during placement with a preview beforehand (requires AutoDrive); selling the silo removes its waypoints

While you are at the silo, an info box shows the fill level, compaction, fermentation and the next step.
The settings file modSettings/FS25_VariableBunker.xml is created after the first start. It can allow wall heights above 4 meters for maps with a higher fill limit, switch the floor grid, the loading point and the compaction service on or off, set the compaction price in percent and the silo price per square meter, and hide the info box. In multiplayer, the host settings apply.
VariableBunker is compatible with AutoDrive and AdjustSuite.
