$29.95 That how much was FS 19.
Whatever you think it's worth your time.
Recreation in the USA has different costs than in East Europe for example.
Personally, I'd donate what a beer and pizza night costs in my area.

Two: if we did then people would be going on about ohh you don't normally plant wheat in *insert month* around where I live. with a period the whole idea is a bit more abstract and thus we can ignore such whining.
Those could be solved if mapmakers named the months relevant to their specific GEO.

Did you get it working with the new method, or the old one?

I just followed RM tutorial. Took a look at sky wizards video as well, but ended just following the tutorial by RM. my mistake in the beginning was that I had the wrong file path. But once I got that sorted, and could paint the seasons layer in GE, all was good except my mishap with not starting a new save, which was all my fault :)

Seasons And Crop Fertilizing

Post by RcDriver »

What has changed in seasons as far as fertilizing crops? I ask because I have fertilized my first crop (Wheat) once after planting,which brought the fertilized state up to around 60%. And before the seeds have matured,I fertilized the wheat again and that brought the fertilized state up to 100%. Now I may be off on the 60% fertilized state,but not too far off. I'm not complaining because I like the whole seasons thing,I'm just wondering if it's a bug.

Thanks.

I also finally discovered that I had an incomplete file path for the seasonsMask file. I pathed it with mapDE/*filename*, when it in fact requires maps/mapDE/*filename*. The main purpose with asking was to see if anyone else had made it, as I am pretty sure Realismus knows how to do this alot better than me, so I am not one to say their tutorial is wrong :P . A perfect case of the blind assisting the deaf.

Now I wonder what features I am missing by using the old RM tutorial, and not the new one posted this morning...

Like I said "My totally uninformed guess".
Also, working in the studio for various projects doesn't mean he can supervise Seasons, which is what I originally meant.

Seasons bug or ancient PC?

Post by BoxTunnel »

The day before FS19 was released my gaming PC broke, so I have been playing on a five year old laptop. The game runs pretty well on medium settings, although I do get the odd stutter every now and then.

However, after installing Seasons, I've found that after five or ten minutes or so that the game gets very laggy to the point of becoming unplayable.

I'm thinking this because all the added extras that come with the mod are overwhelming my poor little laptop, as the exact same map (Fehlsbrunn) with the same machinery runs absolutely fine when the mod is disabled. However, I wanted to see if anyone else was having similar issues?

Maybe due to the new season effects on trees. There was an issue with one of the patches from giants where they changed something with the shaders. Some people reported lag/stuttering until they had driven around the map fully.

Maybe the same issue?

Can't wait to jump in myself!
Define working for free. On their web site you will find a donate button, which in my opinion should be used by those that use seasons.
Sure, I can define working for free. I meant the owners of the game didn't have to pay for the biggest improvements to their game.
So, to reword it, Giants had their game completed for them for free.

Thanks for reporting this.
I deactivated it out of fear of messing things up, but it's too handy to leave out.

With every new map you install, every game update you apply, you need to build new shader cashes. This takes a lot from the system. After exploring the map for a wile, you will notice the game runs smoother every minute.
With the installment of seasons you need to build those shader cashes again. Takes some time, but it will pass.

Ah OK, that's great, I was worried I'd have to wait for a decent PC before I could use seasons!

Many thanks.
