[SOLVED] Employees only use 50 to 75% action radius

[darkneon2002]

- PC
- Vehicle/Tool/Model/Object: see screenshot, but my guess its for all tools
- Issue: Employees only use 50 to 75% action radius available on vehicle tools
- Single- or Multiplayer: both
- Steps to reproduce: Sow, Plow, Cultivate or harvest Any crop on any land using an employee, after the first line they will use not use 100% of the action radius
- Does it happen on a standard map without mods: yes my game is 100 vanilla and without DLC

Hi darkneon2002!

Thank you for the report and your screenshots. The way the helper works or seems to be overlapping with already "worked" areas is not an issue since, if you look closely, the helper will "work" more on the corresponding other side. Eg. so if the helper only seems to be working 90% of a row because he misses 10 on one side, he is actually working those 10% on the other side and there is no "loss" or anything

It's just the way the helper/machine is placed and the way teh texture is painted on the ground - I hope you kind of understand what I mean?

I understand thanks for explaining, but it just doesn't look right.

Yes - the problem is the following: The fields have a certain grid which the helper uses to check the working width. At the very worst it could be that the helper looses a little bit of working width (eg. width should be 3m, but he only works 2.8m or something). This is because of the grid the field has. Placing the helper at an unfortunate location in the beginning of a row could place him a little off the grid and then these discrepancies may occur

Currently, there is no way for us to further improve this due to resource management. But we will see what we can come up with in the future
