Straw Recycling

Combine straw recycling: Recover grain from loose straw swaths. With the header enabled, your combine picks up straw from the ground and processes it again.

Grain recovery is calibrated to 20% of the original grain equivalent. At the same time, the combine deposits 30% of the collected straw back behind it as a genuine, pickup-able loose straw swath. The remaining 70% of the collected straw is lost.

Multiple crop types are supported automatically: Additional map and mod crops are detected through the built-in crop type manager, provided they have a valid harvest fill type and a suitable swath. If several grain crops share the same STRAW swath, the crop is determined from the harvested crop, the stubble, or the crop context of the combine and header.

The recycled swath amount is buffered and released through the normal swath chute as actual loose swath material of the detected crop. During recovery, the mulcher ground path is suppressed so that no chaff texture is created.

Tip: Raise the header or switch it off when you do not want to pick up straw.
