Harvester AI

[matains]

Hi!

Could you please do something with AI helpers on harvesters? They keep doing dumb turns and driving over crops even if i make a HUGE headland. Using the crop destruction mod makes it actually punishing.
Their behaviour is so idiotic i cannot look at it anymore. How about rolling back to FS15 ai? It was way more predictable and even though it was not as smart, i could work around its quirks when i finally got used to them. With FS17 i feel completely powerless. Workers will find a way to screw up no matter what i do.

Thanks

there is an update to crop destruction available as of today...

Update 1.0.2.1 - no crop destruction for AI vehicles
Update 1.0.2.0 - Grass will be reduced to second to last growth state which is still mowable.
- Caruelle Nicolas Stilla 460 and New Holland SP.400F are properly detected as using care wheels, will not destroy crops anymore.
Previous Update 1.0.1.0 - Oilseed radish is not destroyed anymore.

Thanks! Its definitely better than nothing but still working around the problem, instead of solving it.
At least i can ignore the AI workers now. They destroyed the crop and then failed to recognize the path next pass.

According to GIANTS this is the best that they can do (even if I personally think it worked better before the latest update).
Hopefully they are working on improvements ...

Yep and people were really excited at how FS17 was much improved. They AI should have improved dramatically over the years, they have had 2 years in between versions and many more years on top because it really hasn't changed enough in the amount of time they have been doing the game although some will try to argue it has.
