Another trick that I use, cut logs to max length. Use the Lieberman crane with the lifting beam to load. If your logs are decked evenly and tight you can pick up a trailer load in one grab. Deadwood map pays out 25 to 30 thousand a load, on the dead spruce trees. I use a L shaped manure silo to deck my logs and get them tight.
Yeah, I should maybe do another test with the container pricing, I just never seem to have the patience to keep the small chunks from the top of the tree off to the side, and the length penalty for including them annoys me.
@@LoneWolfHeroGaming no penalty is applied if u cut 8.5m and put them into 9m container. On silverrun cutting Ponderosa pine at 8.5 should also eliminate the small tops that are so annoying 👍
@12:30 if you just cut the trees and drag them into the factory do Oak or American Elm. Both grow much faster than Stone Pine. Oak takes less than 5 months to fully grow and gives you around 11000 liters. American Elm is just under 9 month and procudes 21 000. Stone Pine takes 24 month to fully grow for 14 000 liters. So if you need wood fast go for Oak, to maintain production go for Elm.
Well now I get why my pile of branches is causing so much frame loss as I pile on to them. I’m playing a realistic series on pallegney clearing a part of a mixed forest (F112) when I have nothing to do but feed animals in the winter. I broke something making fieldwork possible through a mild winter with barely any snow. I now have the anderson trailer and move the perfect and good shaped 4 meter logs to the sawmill. The rest get piled to be woodchipped when I can buy one. For delivering to the sawmill I think the volume of wood in liters doesn’t need the perfect sell length so that is something to consider if they are used to produce other products. I went with the upgrade productions mod because wow such a decently sized sawmill should process more than 3 logs per day. I do wonder if it’s for realism better to cut little pieces up or sell bigger logs as firewood. I suppose smaller pieces of wood sell less so I might need to get one of those firewood mods
Yeah, I have piled up trees to process down and never understood why the game would start stuttering, and really, it should be able to handle it, but I guess it just can't. If you are looking to make more do a firewood mod, but really, firewood sells for less than lumber does anyways, so you could still just do it if you want the realism. Around me, a cord of seasoned hardwood firewood is about 350 delivered. With branches I tend to reason that, the way the sawmills work in game they must have a shredder/chipper in them for the offcuts since they don't put out any firewood, so dropping the branches off there to be chipped almost makes more sense then buying a chipper. Just load them up in a dump trailer and let your staff spend the time feeding them into a machine so you can get back to logging or farming 😉
And let's not forget the firewood production point for all of the scrap wood, or simply keep a spare container (Platinum Expansion -painted red so you don't forget which one it is) to dispose of scrap pieces.
thank you for the information and the time you put into it hard to find clear information for logging. The devourer mod if i think its the mod i think it is gives you probbably more because you get all the little branches. I think that is the reason why you get more volume.
It could be, I didn't really take any time to try and figure it out since it could also be something about how it was coded it suppose, like the woodchipper in the old sawmill in Silverrun. I was just surprised to see such a big increase with some of the trees.
Thanks for informative video. I just started the game a week ago on Silverrun Forest. Could you tell me what the little bench saw is doing with the logs and mulch? Thanks
Yeah, it's a mobile salepoint. I don't normally use them, but they can come in handy. www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?lang=en&country=fi&mod_id=244068&title=fs2022
From numerous vids I've seen on log lengths to sell, I've not seen one that took in comparison on each price per meter. For example, say there is an 18m log, is it better cut into 2 9m or 3 6m pieces? Now if the sell price was $600 for a 6m and $900 for a 9m, each is at $100 per meter, it wouldn't matter as you'd get the same on the sale. But if the 6m was selling at a higher price or the 9m at a lower price, then the 6m is favored. The bell curve on the lengths is good, but it would be interesting to see the curve taken a step beyond to see what would happen if price per meter of each size of log was taken in consideration
Take a look at the chart I made for this, and take a look at the Farmer Cop video that I linked, he has some charts as well, that I think are looking more at what you want. I think he did do per meter for each tree he tested. If you unhide everything in my chart you will also see some more info around the best cut lengths, since I wanted to make sure those were optimal. From what I can tell I think what you are talking about is actually invalid with how FS22 calculates log prices, but I may be misunderstanding. It seems like the formula is something like: base price x length x volume = value. *There is also a penalty if the log is not delimbed. As you go down to a per meter, you drop the value. But the length can either be a positive or negative value depending on the size, they seem to use a bell curve to determine that variable. Now, if you are talking about price per meter for each length on a hypothetical, all you have to do is copy my charts and divide each lengths sale prices by the total length per tree. I went with sale total for each tree cut to x length to try and remove the volume variable, because if you thicker/heavier log it should have a higher volume... Though I didn't test that come to think of it. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work that way, seeing as there is some sort of randomizer for log volume. If it is really just if the sale is better for 2x9m vs 3x6m it will depend on the tree, and really on how exactly FS22 works to determine the sold price of timber. But I think what it comes down to is that if you are selling a base game tree, the 3x6m will sell higher, and if it's a platinum tree the 2x9m will sell slightly higher. This is because volume is used instead of the log itself, it's not really pricing/selling the log, it's the total value of the volume of the wood in the log. It's basically more complicated than it should be, I think to just make it work the same as selling anything else. I suspect it's the reason why selling logs or putting logs into a factory can cause a lag spike. The game has to compute way more than it does when you sell anything else since that is a simple price per liter. Logs have to compute price x length x volume for each log. If I'm still not understanding let me know, I have no problem doing another video.
I completely missed Farmer cops document. He did do by meter given a length. I also saw on your document that there were hidden rows and columns but I haven't yet figured out how to see what is there. I do thank you for pointing out fc vid with his document, I just missed that he had it posted
As a sawmill sawyer irl this GRIND MY GEARS. But as a logger in farm sim, I totally feel you. Felling and loading logs is a massive headache in farm sim.

Omg.. nooooooooooooooo. You can change the size of the brush!? I've spent 200 hours painstakingly brushing with the smallest size on PC. Can you change the size on PC, because it does not show that option...
Yes, I don't remember what the control is, though. Maybe ctrl or shift and mouse wheel? Mostly on pc, I still used controller because I didn't like the driving using the keyboard.
@@LoneWolfHeroGaming I figured it out. I have to use N and M keys to size up and down the brush, and V to change circle to square, and now my map looks sooooo much better and cleaner. It didn't show on my help menu because I had a bunch of other mods for realism and there wasn't room. When I took them all off, it showed the keys to use.

I find that the best bang for the buck is to cut at 8.5m on ponderosa and load it into a container. If you dont mind loading containers👍
Yeah, I should maybe do another test with the container pricing, I just never seem to have the patience to keep the small chunks from the top of the tree off to the side, and the length penalty for including them annoys me.

Changed my life with this video
Also, there is a mod to hold cntrl while brushing that holds it on the same line so it's straighter
Yeah, but not for xbox, I bet 🥺

@@LoneWolfHeroGaming fair enough. I’ll see how I get on. The research u did helped though. Definitely going to get more out of chipping some logs now

I hadn't thought about a container for that, that's a great idea.

Off topic, why was my Ponsse scorpion king’s paint destroyed after only about 20-30 minutes of light tree processing!!? The repaint is so expensive.
Check what your settings are for dirt. The higher it is, the faster you will get wear and tear.

Another question if you don't mind. Where did you get that stump mulcher with shute at 7.35 minutes? Can't find that anywhere.
