[INFO] Console mods - currently in testing

[RODHA]

^^ Did you read what is wrong with the mod?
I mean it is like a tractor without the wheels.
So, really just a feedback?
I also don't get mods at release. At least not without watching a couple of review videos.
But this is a sell point. I thought what could be wrong about it.
Obviosuly a lot could be wrong about it.

No need to have ago at people Rodha, just report the problem and be done with it

[RODHA]

I did exactly that but people just didn't want to leave it there.

[eric21]

I know, but usually every console mod is released for pc

Not true, theres a few console modsnthat dont shownup on the pc one

[this_is_gav]

Nope. As English is not my native language, may be I used the wrong terminology.

Fair enough. Your English is very good so I wrongly assumed you were an English speaker.

What I meant was these issues cannot be caused just because the modder is not able to test the mod before console release.
These are pretty basic features that a sell point should meet.
It is obvious that something went wrong and I can't take any positive approach to it because it caused a problem in my save game.
Not all mods have to be perfect or great. But they at least should work properly and don't mess up with my save.
Yes we do take that risk but that doesn't mean I can't complain when the risk happens.
Because it is modders responsibility to avoid that ever happening.
If the modder doesn't do that then the mod creates issues and people get upset and complain.
That is a natural reaction and I don't it is fair to blame me for complaining.
Not that you are directly doing that but although you understand my frustration and its reasons you still want to defend the modder.
This is not a fight for me. This is simple. That mod caused an issue that I don't like in my game. And I'm complaining about it.
My intention is not to start any argument but the modder and other users has to see this.
Just keeping all quite because of kidness doesn't really help anybody.

Once again though I will say that the mod seems to work fine on my limited testing on PC. That's all a modder can do, test on PC - if it doesn't work on consoles then that's for GIANTS to report back to the modder so alterations can be made.

As I said though, mod conflicts are common (more so on PC) and perhaps some other mod you have installed isn't playing well with this mod.

Like I said if you (or someone else) could report back after testing the mod without others and see if the mod still causes issues then the modder might be able to check what's causing it.

Ok tried an experiment. Took two equal loads of barley on loan oak. One to the agri sell point and one to the placeable drier/sell point. I got about $30,000 at the agri so wanted to compare. Tipped at the dryer and BOOM! NOTHING, ZERO, **** ALL.
Maybe I just donated 47,000 l to charity then. I'll await my thankyou letter from Bob Geldof.

Yup, just checked myself and barley must have a value of zero. Wheat sold as normal (sadly I just checked wheat earlier).

[Fade2black]

Really? I just picked Barley at random. Oh well it's gone now anyway.

[this_is_gav]

Yup. Of the crops it takes (wheat, barley, maize and straw) the only grain that sells for any value at all is wheat, but I haven't checked straw. That is pretty poor and certainly down the modder's own testing as that isn't console specific, but I would have hoped GIANTS would have picked up on that too.

I apologise to RODHA if I've misunderstood this, but I was under the impression the sell point appeared in his prices menu and all the prices were 0 or blank (blank is fine for the crops it doesn't accept, but zero isn't).

For me the sell point doesn't appear in my prices menu, with or without other mods and on mod maps as well as Goldcrest Valley.

[Aholz89]

I suggest making a thread in the Modhub Bug-Report section on this forum. That way GIANTS and the modder can get constructive feedback there.

[TacoFarmer]

I did exactly that but people just didn't want to leave it there.

You have every right to be negative.
Youre not downing a mod because its something you dont like or didnt want.
It actualy messed with your game.
Im sorry this happened to you and am glad you posted about it before others downloaded it.
Glad I read all this before I got this mod.
I would be be p!ssed if I downloaded this and it messed with my 975 hours GCV save!!
Thanks!!

Rodha you have my sympathy,I downloaded the root crop sale mod and it could’ve easily have done the same. From now on I will have a separate test map much like mr sealyp does. Just to stir the sh#t this mod was given priority over say for instance shamrock valley.

[RODHA]

Nope. As English is not my native language, may be I used the wrong terminology.

Because of work I use English in my daily life more than my native language. Thats probably why you thought like that. But when the subject gets too complicated I simply run out of vocabulary

Back on the topic.

Nope you get it all correct. Please see the screen shot. This Lone Oak.



You see the farmsilo there? And the prices?
Now, it seems this line shows up in mod maps but it doesn't even show up on GCV. This on its own is an issue.
I didn't try to sell crops so I can't comment. But apparently Fade2black prooved it the hard way.
But if I get back to that line again. Farmsilo line on the pricing list. There is no such mod installed in my game atm. I deleted it last night but the line is still there. And it seems to be staying there. So far I didn't get any issues because it is there and as long as this doesn't change I will consider myself lucky.

Btw, I'm done with posting bug reports because if it was a mod bug and if the modder is not following up the topics it is just a waste of time. Sometimes even Giants doesn't respond to game related bug reports.

Still waiting on reply to solar shed invisablity bug that 2 months old with no response. Someone even posted it in German fourm with no luck.

How was it given priority? Shamrock valley came out yesterday too. There is no priority, its first come first serve.

I did say for instance!
