Seasons mod (op updated re: bug reports)

[Lucass]

I also had the situation that after plowing the GRASS field in the "growing" phase, which had 2nd fertilized layer, after plowing it had the third layer of fertilization - is this normal? (I haven't done anything with this field before, Seasons started on a new save)

We don't touch the plough. Perhaps this was a plough that can add fertilizer (functionality exists in game, but not sure whether any ingame ploughs or cultivators does this. Used a mod?)

No, this was in-game plow, AgroMasz POH 5.

[Rasping rabbit]

Doesn’t plowing in any growing crop add a fertiliser stage? I thought that was normal in the game without seasons anyway.

Looking at the manual on creating the seasons mask, and see the reference on sizing the grle file for 2048x2048. Is that for a standard-size map? Do I need to double that to 4096x4096 for a 4x map?

Correct

So is seasons on console yet?

No

Does anyone know if there is any attention of there being snow plowing contracts with the new seasons mod? Not sure the feasibility of this, but I think it would be cool.

Would be cool indeed.

I find jobs not even worth doing anymore did Seasons do something to nerf payouts like in 17?

Aside from increasing payout for baling missions payouts should be equal to base game.

As @Greymantle1 states maybe this is base game mechanics.

[...] Could the distinction of cultivator and disc harrow in the game be even more valid? [...]

Have been discussed earlier, but not likely

This is a pity, because of the side Giants was already prepared. It's a pity that they themselves did not subdivide because cultivating is significantly different than slicing

[reallogger]

Well Giants did nothing more than separating them in the shop. Making some sensible game mechanics is a whole different ballpark. Did some differentiation in the FS17 Soil Compaction mod on this. There you could also select how deep you were running a tine cultivator.

But lime-spreading missions are more likely

I've just started combining with Seasons 19 on Lipinki with default GEO, enjoying the seeing the random weeds under the crop and I wondered if there could be automatic weeds on the bare patches from failed germination or die back? In my part of the world, East Anglia UK, the weeds take over any bare ground unless sprayed off.

please increase the time where grass change to hay.

we play 3 days settings in seasons and if I mow a field and then drive the machine back to the yard and then collect the swaths are there already heap hay in between.

the problem is as follows:

the collector then recognizes grass, hay, grass ..... and thus always deletes the contents of the loading wagon since the giants system fixes the fruit only from 10% onwards.

our settings:
3 days seasons
realtime timescale

Thank you very much

I'm confused if this is a bug or not. I plowed up 4 grass fields on Oakfield farm with an ingame plow. Following plowing, I gained a fertilizer state. Then I planted with an in game planter (no fertilizer) and gained another fertilizer state. Bug or meant to be? Noted that the fields were fallow for the last 2 years. Does that mean I get an automatic 2 fert states after working the fields? Help

[Rahkiin]

When plowing in a non-harvested crop you gain fertilizer: that's a basegame mechanic.

The other fertilizer state is due to planting of a crop that is advantageous to the soil (crop rotation feature)

[FarmerJimbob]

please increase the time where grass change to hay.

Mow when the grass is relatively wet and drying conditions are poor. I'd have thought the grass must have been very dry when you mowed it if by the time you drove to the farm and back in real time it turned to hay? I did have this happen but I generally play on 15x with seasons.

[Rahkiin]

Did you update to 1.0.1? We added a drying delay.

[BreadedVirus]

Is there an in depth guide to the crop rotation?

I have just started planting and no clue how to use the rotation of the crops

Example

I have just planted wheat in field 1 on Oakfield and the previous state was fallow. How do i go forward with the rotation from there?

[Phigo]

Why don't you just try it? This is a planner with no actual affect on your fields. There will be a percantage shown with every Change you make and if it is higher, it is better...

hi RM,

i would have a question to issue #300 (closed)

the problem lex described there is the same i still have with 1.0.1 and in my second year.

-i started my game (old steam farm) before seasons came out. you recommended a fresh start but i was hoping in my second year it might be fine with the different growing stages.
-the map is not prepared for seasons yet (not sure if this makes a difference)
- when i enabled seasons everything went to the harvested state -> ok

my second map is oakfield:
since oakfield is fully prepared i'll wait until the last stage (before harvesting) will be visible.


do i need to start over?
