With this mod you are able to harvest grapes without having to buy an expensive grape harvesting machine. It adds a vineyard shear to the shop (to be found in Grape Technology) which operates similar to a chainsaw. The shear can be selected by mouse wheel.
There's also a new small Böckmann low loader designed for use with grape pallets. These pallets are also newly added from this mod. They are from the base game - but buyable.
-
Firstly, activate the shear via mouse wheel like a chainsaw (after buying it, of course).
-
Secondly, you need to select the container/trailer where the grapes should be added when harvesting.
The container (or trailer) needs to support grapes and have free space to be able to be set as target. -
Afterwards, the name of the target with its fill level and distance is displayed at the bottom.
-
Now you can go to the vineyard and harvest grapes with the left mouse button (sometimes only X works, if LMB gets blocked by another input binding). You need to release and repress the button to harvest again (harvesting per hand needs to be more effort than just driving a big, expensive machine ;) )
-
Take care to stay within 8 metres of the container/trailer. As the grapes are virtually carried there, it's only possible in a limited area. If you exceed the distance, you will lose "connection" to the target and need to reselect.
As this mod is still in development, there can be errors or malfunctions.
Currently known issues:
- Multiplayer is not working perfectly (Harvesting takes some time - hold key a bit longer)
