So I did some testing on pigs this morning. Per animal 0-9 months they eat 370L averaging at 41L per day. (At this point they reproduce) 10+ months they eat 60L per day. So to make the pigs the most profitable per liter of food you feed them… sell them at 9 months after they reproduce.
thanks for confirming that feeding them only Base(Corn) and Grain(barley) still works like in FS22. That was the only way to do pigs and make money in basegame FS22. Sadly not many figured it out and pigs got a bad rep as the worst animal of the game.
So, anyone who doesn't know, you have to feed pigs to get slurry and manure. They must be eating food or they won't produce it. Unless you are on hard difficulty, you can just feed the pigs pig food, they don't eat as much as they did in FS22, and you will make a large profit if you sell them at peak. You can actually wait until the day before they should be sold to feed them, they eat 61L each, and need 10 hours to hit maximum health. Then you sell them at peak price, rinse and repeat. If you want the slurry, and reproduction, you need to feed them the whole time. However, you can still afford to feed them pig food, because they eat far less than they used to. A full house of peak sell pigs, I made 125k after subtracting the cost of feeing them with pig food only. If you're growing all the crops they need, go for it. But you would still probably be better off just selling the crops and feeding them pig food, because they will make a nice amount of money over the cost of food, even if you're buying it. Cheers.
You dont need to watch put that much about mixing food. i feed them corn and wheat and their health is at 100% and the do reproduce. I put one trailer of wheat and 2 trailers of corn, and top up when they need it. If you put 1 trailer od soy, 1 wheat and 1 of cron, they use mostly corn and the you top up with corn and so on. I hope you get it.
I was making more money with energy solar and other energy sources. I bought more property because my property is littered with energy production. I may set up a new farm somewhere else on the map because I'm buying up most of the town so far. Branching out to other things. I was hoping they had the little piglets animation.
And some issues continue (PS5).... I have 2 pig pens... One recognizes the slurry pickup, the other not. And still constantly crashing 😔 We need a hot fix for😢these constant crashes!
Definitely has to be in the console code for the PS5 copy I'm not even receiving stutters on a steam deck. I saw some solutions being thrown on the subreddit for the PS5 earlier. I'll edit if I find them again Edit: ua-cam.com/video/1viOqCzVqe4/v-deo.htmlsi=gVpCo3vN7ELnBnUi
1000$ per 1000L for the pig food is not that bad really. You can sell almost anything except corn and the root crops for more than that. Or am I missing something?
There is a workshop near the store, with the words 'Motorex' written on the gates. Only there you can 'repair' the paint. I only painted the weight to get the achievement, because repainting vehicles is really expensive...
@@SCGili710 Yes, he already has 3 different mod packs for 25. Not sure if links are allowed here, but if you do a search for Stevie mods, there are several videos that include links to his downloads.

Mind blown! Must test this out, thanks!
I was looking for this video yesterday. Thanks for putting these out.

Corn/sorghum and wheat/barley was enough on FS22 as well, good to know that's still the case.

What was up with that bird at the start, he had afterburners. Great video as every. Well done.
Well done.
Can you do a video on how to store harvests of various products mod free?

Depends on difficulty level. On easy yes, on normal depends, and on hard that price is very expensive for food
@@FarmerCop yeah that makes sense. Hadn't thought of the difficulty levels.
So this is sorta lame but, when I repair my vehicles, how do I fix the paint? I want to take the very best care of my equipment.
I haven’t figured that out either haha

Re paint for now only at store workshop.
How did you get the food in the trailer
Nvm
manure silo extension didnt work for me - only the manure silo (non-extension)
It would be helpful in the beginning say, nothings changed from 22 save some time
Things have changed actually haha
