Seasons 19 WIP Updates (PC release 24/07)

[blue_painted]

If it's the same sort of thing as Seasons17, adding the snow mask to a map isn't very hard ... it was worse dealing with non-standard trees that didn't react to season changes.

So from this i am reading that snow looks bad and to prevent bale rotting need to use vanilla game buildings.

I think you're misunderstanding the bale rotting aspect. Bale rotting requires a prepared map, meaning that bales will not rot on a non prepared map.

In other words, bales will stay usable forever like vanilla game unless the map is updated for seasons. That's how I read it anyway

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I have a question about the seasons 19. It says the wind speed is modeled. Will trees and grass move according to the wind speed?

Yes

That's a great detail. I love the fine details.

Yes, vanilla maps will work. But as far as i know, oxygendavinds conversion of "Loan oak farm" is seasons ready, and it will probably be released somewhere around the time the seasons is released. But dont quote me on that. This is just a guess.

Thats a bit bold statement dont you think ?

I will write it again... "This is just a guess".

Am sooooo looking forward to this mod!!

Thanks for all your hard working Devs!

The weeding thing sounds cool - but I'm wondering why the mechanical weeder won't(??) also work preemptively? I like to be an organic virtual farmer, don't like using virtual chemicals...

Time for a tornado mod!

Yeah this is gonna be a game changer. Makes it more of a learning tool as well. Now we just need a mod that incorporates soil sampling!

Why should it? Running a harrow over my field pulls out weeds. It does not prevent future ones sprouting.

I do not know how the things work in Seasons 19, but i thought it is like in FS17, where you need to
add the mask under the building covered areas, then if you put there, this area will be
snow/rain free and on this area bales will not rot.

I'd assume a weeder should pull out plants aswell as weeds.

Depends on spacing etc. Go look at some real life videos how a mechanical weeder works.

This topic has only been answered a 1000 times and the guy above you is correct.

[CaveFarmer]

Basically what he is saying is we should all know most stuff by now and leave realismus to complete the mod. They have had enough answering the questions and we should read the blog post then if you are still unsure skim through the forum and if you can't find your answer ask. And for those who already know a bit about seasons please help answer some questions... correctly.

Take a look at this video by Jonny 1388, weeders can be pretty hi-tech pieces of kit.
