Version 1.0.0.0 - now with bales! Please report any bugs you find. Multiplayer and dedicated server feedback is especially welcome.
Smart Pallet Autoload automatically loads pallets, big bags, pallet tanks and bales onto flatbed trailers and truck bodies, placing every object neatly on the deck.

Features:
- Smart layout: several patterns are compared (lengthwise, crosswise, tail row) and the one that carries the most with a tidy look is used. Rows are centred and line up with the trailer's tension belts.
- Real stacking: the second layer is measured in the game, so taller or shorter pallets rest exactly on the ones below.
- Pallets from different productions with the same footprint can share one load.
- Large pallets (barrels, vegetable crates, stone, saplings, planks, wood beams, prefab walls and more) load too.
- NEW - Bales: round bales (1.25, 1.50 and 1.80 m), square bales (1.80, 2.20 and 2.40 m) and small square bales. Round bales lie across the deck in a pyramid, with the upper layer in the grooves, like a real bale load. Every bale type fills the deck edge to edge without going through the walls, stays firmly in place while driving, and its weight goes to the trailer.
- NEW - Your own vehicles: any vehicle (base game or mod) can get the autoload through modSettings/FS25_smartPalletAutoload/userPresets.xml, without editing any zip. The console command spaPrintPreset writes a ready entry for the current vehicle and its trailers to the log. A commented example (VEHICLE_XML_EXAMPLE.xml) is inside the mod.
- Tension belts are fastened automatically when loading ends, only where there is cargo.
- Cargo stays in place while driving; selling points and productions take pallets straight from the trailer.
- Unload left, right, rear or in place, with a ground preview. The unload point can be moved sideways, forward/back and up/down (docks and platforms).
- AutoDrive support: loads at the pick-up point, reports when full and unloads at the destination.
