MaizePlus and MaizePlus CCM Mods for FS25

MaizePlus and MaizePlus CCM Mods for FS25

MaizePlus and MaizePlus CCM mods for FS25 are excellent choices for those who want even more realism in their Farming Simulator gameplay. Created by The-Alien-Paul and Modelleicher, these mods give a simplified silage process more nuance. What does that mean? Let’s take a deeper look into this.

Those who played the games might remember one of the basic rules – if you put anything into a bunker silo, it’s going to turn into chaff, which will then turn into silage. With this mod, it is no longer as simple as that. Instead, these mods replicate real-life situations, offering different types of silage. What’s even more, different types of silage also give you a brand new feed option, allowing you to change how you feed your pigs. Let’s take a look at this mod and its features in detail.

New Types of Silage Available Silage

On FS games, including Farming Simulator 25, chaff is a general term for everything.

Chaff is the ultimate umbrella term on Farming Simulator 25: everything that can turn into sillage. Of course, this is a lot more complicated in real life, and these MaizePlus mods do a pretty good job of adding more nuance while still keeping the gameplay nice and simple.

There is a lot more variety of materials coming into and leaving the bunkers, replicating what happens in farming. First, there is WCS – full name “whole crop silage.” Except for corn and grass, everything you put into the bunker silos will become WCS.

But for grass and corn, you can do a lot more.

For instance, corn can produce fermented maize. After a harvest, the harvest you get changes. Instead of just maize, you get “fresh chopped maize.” During the silage process, this can be turned into fermented maize.

Then there is grass—after using the forage harvester to gather your grass, it can be turned into silage.

Both of these silages are excellent feed options for cows. But you will get even better gains if you use any of these new feeds as a part of your TMR.

New Type of Feed – CCM (Corn Cob Mix)

The MaizePlus and the MaizePlus CCM mods also let you create a completely new type of feed. You can make a super energy-dense feed called CCM – or corn cob mix using corn. It’s a type of feed used in the real world and is typically known as an excellent option for growing a mass of cattle and pigs. On FS25, CCM can only be used to feed your pigs.

Let’s look at how you can use the mods to create a corn cob mix on Farming Simulator 25.

1. Simply harvest your corn using whatever you have purchased, leased, or rented.

2. Use the harvested corn to make corn flour: employ a GlobalCompany CCM mill.

3. Then, simply tip your produced corn flour into a bunker silo.

4. From now on, treat this corn flour like you would treat any other silage. The corn flour will get nicely fermented, increasing its overall nutritional value. The created CCM will soon be ready and will work as a wonderful feed for your pigs.

However, it’s important to remember that CCM can not be baled. A baler needs to be used to turn fresh materials into silage bales. This is only an okay option, but it’s still better than keeping raw materials in a bunker.

Automatic Silage Switch

Another feature of this mod is related to simply filling up your silo bunker. The displayed materials will change depending on what is added to them.

• The requirements say that the silo bunker has to be 4000 liters or less. If there is 3000
• As of now, the requirement states for the silo bunker to be less than 4000 liters. If you, for example, have 3000 liters of raw CCM, you can easily turn it into grass silage.
• All you have to do is load some grass on top of it, and the CCM will automatically become a different type of silage.

New Textures in The Game

For completely new types of silage and feed, you also need different textures to represent them all. It’s important for both realism and a better visual context for a player. The-Alien-Paul has done a good job creating completely brand new textures that represent everything new added to the game by this mod.

Limitations of the MaizePlus add-on

The mods are created by the community, and as you might imagine, they still have some limitations. This is in no way a criticism of the mod itself. We love what it does, but this part of the article will focus more on:

• heightType limits set the rules for the different types of materials that can be tipped on the ground in this game. Corn (a pile of corn, to be exact) is one of such types.
• The base game allows for 31 heightType slots, 23 of which are filled by basic materials and crops.
• MaizePlus adds 4 new types. CCM adds 2 more. That makes for a total of 29.

If your map includes a lot of different fruits, that would put you over the limit. So, this MaizePlus mod doesn’t work on every map. There is no clear solution for this issue. You can try looking for maps with different heightType limits or simply avoid maps with fruit trees on them.

Issues with Seasons Mods

This issue has been more relevant before – when Seasons were not a part of the original game, and many players used mods to get some well-needed season changes. However, there will be some issues if you still use Seasons mod for your FS25 game.

They are, once more, related to the heightTypes problem. The Seasons Mod adds 3 more heightTypes. As you can imagine, this can become a bit of an issue.

FS25 MaizePlus and MaizePlus CCM – Video Tutorials

The-Alien-Paul, one of the creators of this excellent mod, has produced YouTube videos to help better explain what this mod is and how it works. Check out the video below.

To sum up, the MaizePlus mod is genuinely excellent. We are impressed with the added layer of realism and how well it works on the base game. The issues with heightTypes are not in their control, and we hope that as time goes on, the mods of The-Alien-Paul and Modelleicher will be able to work even better.

One more thing to add: for these mods to work properly, you must download some additional mods. Namely, the GlobalCompany – CCM Mill and GlobalCompany mods. They’re simple to install and work well on both PC and Mac. You can find everything you need on the official ModHub and the game’s ModHub. There is also an official download page for the mod you can use.
