Field start up crop change

Post by sbtfan »

Hello. I was wondering how o you change a fields start up crop when creating a new map? For example, a field is corn by default but I want it to be wheat when starting a new game. I’ve looked through every xml file and attributes in ge and don’t see anything about field states. Thank you.

You would have to paint the field with the crop in GE

I did try that. It still starts the game with the original crop. I’m guessing it is associated with the missions assigned to those fields?

One of the things this mod does is allow you to alter field crop with the push of a button.

I would imagine you need to start game, use mod to make changes, then save game. Now always start with that save.

Does the npc info have anything to do with that? I wonder if it is a mission thing. Maybe I need to remove missions and just create new fields with what I want. I used sosnovka as my starting map so what was originally stored on that map is what is growing on startup.

I do have creator tools and that would work. But what if I upload my map and want the fields set to something else for someone who does not have that mod?

They do not need the mod installed. Once you change, then save it. That is the current condition of the map. If you upload or share it with someone else it will stay as you changed it.
