Using Cheats to Fill Vehicles, Trailers, and Implements in FS22 Magically
First this: Filltypes is Giants’ slang for anything you can fill vehicles and tools with in Farming Simulator 22. Anything from diesel to manure is filltypes.
Adding FS22 Filltypes by Cheats
Did you know that you can use console commands to fill your trailer, the grain tank of your harvester, or the liquid semi-trailer tank? The best thing is perhaps that you don’t need mods to make it work.
Let’s say you’re a modder. You’ve just made a trailer and would like to test it in-game. The FS22 developer console provides you with a shortcut for filling the trailer. You don’t have to harvest crops with a harvester first and then unload it into the trailer.
(Sorry, console players – This cheat only works on computers.)
The Developer Console
To use the filling cheat in FS22, you first need to enable the developer console. I’ve written an easy-to-follow guide here. Once it’s enabled, you can control many of the game’s mechanisms by entering commands in the developer console.
The filling cheat works for all machinery and equipment that are fillable. In short, if your vehicle or equipment has some sort of compartment, you can most likely use this cheat to fill it.
How to Use gsFillUnitAdd
The secret code word is gsFillUnitAdd. The automatic filling of trailers and tanks starts with writing that code in the developer console. Here’s how you do it:
First of all, make sure that the game is running and that you’ve enabled the developer console.
1. Check that the trailer or the implement is highlighted – Press G on your keyboard to make it the active tool.
2. Press the tilde key (~) once to open the developer console, once more to enable the writing mode.
3. Write gsFillUnitAdd 1 wheat in the developer console, then press enter.
4. If you want to empty the compartment, write gsFillUnitAdd 1 wheat 0
Important things to have in mind:
- Pay close attention to how the command is written. The developer console is case-sensitive and won’t accept spelling mistakes.
- Notice the number in gsFillUnitAdd 1 wheat. The number tells the game engine which compartment to fill. If your trailer and implement have more than one compartment, you can toggle between each of them by using the numbers 1 and 2, like this: gsFillUnitAdd 1 … / gsFillUnitAdd 2 ...
- You don’t have to write the command entirely. Instead, write gsFi then press the Tab key to toggle the correct command. If you do this, do not press the space bar after the valid command appears. The engine creates the needed space automatically
- You can also set the amount. Just add the amount to the end of the command like this: gsFillUnitAdd 1 wheat 2500
When You’re Running on Fumes
Yes, you can also fill up your vehicle when the gas tank is empty. It’s just as easy as filling equipment:
- Make sure that the vehicle is the active tool – Press G on your keyboard.
- Write this in the developer console: gsFillUnitAdd 1 diesel
Available Filltypes
It’s the filltypes that the trailer or implement accepts that dictates what you can cheat-fill them with. A slurry tanker, for example, will carry both liquid manure and digestate.
However, you can’t use the gsFillUnitAdd command to fill it with milk. With that out of the way, here are the solid filltypes that are available with the base game (remember that the developer console is sensitive to spelling mistakes):
- wheat
- barley
- oat
- canola
- sorghum
- olive
- sunflower
- soybean
- maize
- sugarbeet
- sugarbeet_cut
- sugarcane
- seeds
- forage
- forage-mixing
- chaff
- woodchips
- silage
- grass_windrow
- drygrass_windrow
- straw
- snow
- roadsalt
- lime
- pigfood
- manure
- stone
- mineral_feed
- fertilizer
For liquid trailers, these are the fill types you can use:
- diesel
- milk
- water
- herbicide
- liquidfertilizer
- liquidmanure
- digestate
Save Time with FS22 Power Tools
Don’t fancy spending time writing a lot of commands? Then it would help if you tried the Power Tools mod for FS22.
The mod has the fill cheat included and is easier to use. You don’t even have to enable the developer console to make it work.
I have written a guide on how to use the mod here. You can download it from the modhub inside the game.
