Better Bale Physics is a gameplay enhancement that changes how bales behave once they come to rest, aiming to remove the small, constant movements that normally plague stacked or stored bales.
The mod detects when a bale has settled on the ground or on a stable stack and freezes it in place, restoring normal physics only when a vehicle, fork or pickup approaches, or when support underneath is removed. Fastened tension belts lock bales to their vehicle, while loose round and square bales on trailers also stabilize relative to the trailer, even across multiple stacked layers, until they are picked up, tipped or unfastened.
It's aimed at players who stack or transport a lot of bales and want calmer, more predictable behavior without any manual setup, since the system works automatically in the background.
