Quality Bales

Crafting
Quality bales can be crafted by combining 4 Alfalfa Bushels, 4 Timothy Bushels and 1 String.

A quality bale can also be crafted by combining 1 Alfalfa and 1 Timothy bale. While it does require 2 bales, it outputs only one Quality Bale as less nutritious bales have fewer bushels in them (1/2).

Usage

(Dec 2022) The current needs system is broken. An improved immersive food/water feature is planned rather than 'patching' the old needs system. This will not be a quick fix and requires testing. It is planned to be incorporated to 1.16 and future 1.18 versions when it is stable.

Quality Bale

SWEM Horses can eat Quality Bales to satisfy their hunger need. These can be consumed by horses when:

  • Right-click placed in Slow Feeders and Paddock Feeders
  • Right-click placed on the ground, accessible to horses
  • Right-clicked with a Quality Bale / Quality slab in hand on a hungry SWEM Horse

Quality Bales are the most nutritious bale type - combining the values of Timothy and Alfalfa in to one hearty bale.

Timothy, Alfalfa & Oats

Other bale types were added later into development. Currently they cannot be fed to SWEM horses, but can still be placed into slow feeders or on the ground.

Storage

At the small cost of 1 string per bale, converting bushels into bales is a space efficient (inventory) way of storing dried forage. Alternately, the bales can be placed down as a physical stockpile of food for immersion of requiring space to store food for animal consumption and restocking when supply runs low.

Placement

Quality Bales can be placed in all three spatial dimensions, like vanilla logs, bone blocks, and hay bales.
