87% max yield bonus issue

[RODHA]

I’m on hutan pantai playing on ps5 and I can’t get any fields with any crops over 87% yield bonus. I have 10k+ hours on fs since 15 so, I don’t think I’m making a rookie mistake (may be I am. who knows) but somehow I couldn’t figure out why. Any suggestions or comments would be hugely appreciated

Mulch 2.5%
Lime every three years 20%
Pow every three years 25%
Fertilized once 25%
Sowing
Fertilized twice 25%
Rolling 2.5%

[RODHA]

	Mulch 2.5% Lime every three years 20% Pow every three years 25% Fertilized once 25% Sowing Fertilized twice 25% Rolling 2.5%

Thanks mate I know the ratios but they don't add up.

Periodic plowing is off in my settings. So, it should already give me the 25%. At least it did on every previous itterations of the game.
Lime is on and I lime the fields every three years. So, it should also give me the 20% all the time.
I always fertilize twice in different soil stages. So, it should also give me the 50% all the time.
And I always mulch and roll wihtout any exceptions. So, at the end I should get 100%. And I always got that in every previous itterations of the game.

Besides, 87% is a very a odd number that you cannot come up with any configuration of those numbers.

I can't tell what is wrong.
But you have done everything right.
If there is a bug, I would exit the game and reboot my playstation.

Per best guess the values are the same as in FS22:

And you missed removing weeds in your list.
So with 87% you probably have fully fertilized (45%), plowed (15%), mulched/rolled (2.5+2.5%), limed (15%) with a total of 80%.
Removing weeds might be a gradual value depending on when/how you remove them. So maybe the missing 7% are from removing weeds somewhat in the early to medium stage?
Preemptive spraying right after seeding before weeds are visible should still be possible to get 0% loss for weeding. I don't know, because I play with weeds off.

ROHDA I have the same problem but only on certain fields and I have every option turned ON and do every bit of the field work myself. Certain fields won't go over 87% no matter what.
Edit- Also, It only happens on certain fields. The only step I don't do is weed spraying or anything like that but I use the ripper plow by BSM each time followed by stone collection and it nets me 100% on most fields but not all. Also on RBS but I am not feeling like this is map specific.

I thought when you plow you not getting any weeds, or am I wrong?

[Eische]

Yes, plowing should disable weeds. But only if you actually plowed. Having plowing turned off like RODHA will still enable weeds.

This is interesting.
Is it only happening on fields with specific crops? If so, should be easier to reproduce and get it fixed.

Thanks mate you are right. I completely forgot to mention the weeding but I always get rid off the weed by spraying them in their first stage. So, may be using herbicide instead of non-chemical methods is the reason why I can't go beyond 87%.

I'm so used to playing with PF on since 19, kind of forgot about the base game rules for yield improvement.

Thanks a lot for the comments Jessi I'm not sure if 87% is for certain fields. If that is then I'm pretty unlucky because it happens on all the fields I own. Admittedly I just own 7 fields. So may be I manged to get those fields. I don't know. But it feels more like a bug other than I'm missing something. And you confirming to have same problem kind of supports that.

I will try to take better notice as I rotate the crops through my fields and I will try to throw some new ones in as well. Takes a bit tho doing everything myself (sometimes I hire a hand in for bigger fields and work together) and I haven't been bothered to setup a test map. Ever since I put in significantly more hours in 19 testing things and putting the game thru its paces for the forum than actually playing, I mostly just wing it using my experience from the previous games.

I thought they changed the lime bonus in FS25 so it actually drops by 5% after every harvest but still only reminds you to lime after the third harvest.

I’m on Xbox X and I’m also having this issue. I believe the amount of crop I received is identical to 95% no matter if it says 87% or not though. I have weeds off, I have the field fully fertilized, fully limed, it’s plowed, and cultivated for good measure. I don’t tend to roll or mulch that’s why I go by 95%. It also seems to vary year to year when it tells me the lower number.

Now that makes sense in terms of numbers and I had thouth about it but I tried to lime the soil when it doesn't require it and I couldn't. So, I think this still counts as a bug.

I never tested the actual yield amounts so, you might be right. May be it is just showing the wrong percentage.
