Not sure. It will be up to the map author to make it compatible.

Yes grass fields are part of the rotation. But the penalty for growing grass as monoculture is quite small (90% of full yield).

Development for Seasons17 started in beginning of November 2016 and took 7 months before the ModContest submission.

We've had a bit of vacation now and will get back to "work" shortly. :)
Great thanks :wink3: Then I predict it could be around june, july time if all goes smooth. We will have a actual lovely Christmas in july!! ( just an aussie thing as some people want to have a winter christmas haha). Whenever it is keep up the good work!!

Same mod ?!?! Well, what can I say, all tires are round so they must be all the same right? :biggrin2:

My question is how would animal grazing work on Marwell Farm and Oakfield as the sheep and cows are built into the map and not placable pens?

Keep up the good work and can’t wait until seasons is released
Animal pens are placeables on every map because that is required by FS19. We will have to see if the grazing also works correctly. If not it might need a minor update in the map.

It would be grate if possible to extend the grazing area. Not just limited to whatever😊

Hmm I was kind of hoping they didn't get any penalty or bonus for crop rotation. I know someone said that they know farmers who rotate grass but I've never seen it done in North America. Re-seeding grass if it gets sparse maybe but not properly rotating it in.

On another note, how does sugarcane fit into the crop rotation with it being able to grow for 3 seasons without needing plowing?

Even though it is not very common to rotate grass does not mean it is not beneficial. Also the penalty in this case is so small that unless you want to create yourself alot of work you can just keep grass fields monoculture. Cotton and sugarcane will be similar to grass.

Is it possible to have the time frame for hay, grass and straw to be more like real life? For hay typically we mow today and ted a few hours later, then ted again the next day and windrow a couple hours after that before bailing. For haylage it's usually less time as the grass is acceptable and preferable to have a higher moisture content. And of course straw is simply bailed when convenient and dry. I found in 17 with it disappearing overnight it wasn't very realistic.

You have to remember though that "overnight" in-game represents the gamified passage of much more than just one day's time. In 6-day seasons for instance each day represents approximately two weeks of equivalent real life time. In 3-day seasons one day is about a month. Leaving a crop sit out "overnight" in the game is the equivalent of leaving it sit out a couple weeks in real life.

Lets not also forget that that there is a Giants employee that is working on the Seasons mod.. pretty sure even if it was eligible to enter the contest it wouldn't be allowed to because of that.

Not to high-jack the thread, but mod contest voters should pay particular attention to the 'GlobalCompany' script that will be entered into the contest. You want something that will be game changing for all (including console) users? Check that out.. Just sayin.

Now back to the topic at hand.

I remember a post about using an existing savegame with seasons will work but it is not recommended.

Is there a list or something showing the main differences/disadvantages between using an existing savegame and starting a completely new?

That looks like something much more complicated than just a script.
It looks and sounds exciting but at the end of line there is Giants. So, I really don't keep my hopes high.

Using an existing savegame with Seasons could break the save, though on PC that isn't a real problem because you'll always have backups.
Seasons also prefers to reset all crop growth stages to 'harvested', to sync them all. So if all your fields are ready for harvest, you lose a bit of work.
I assume people don't use Seasons, unless they say otherwise.

Very excited about this new, mostly re-written, Seasons mod! Thank you very much.

Will custom crops and filltypes be easily incorporated (for map makers)??

Why will Cotton be the same? It does not regrow ingame and you have to plow (or is it cultivating - can't remember corectly) after harvesting...
