Need help with plowing
So, I currently play Old Streams Map if you know it, and I have a problem with hired workers when they plow. I hire worker and when he gets to the end of the field he continues to the next one that is near it. He won't stop and turn. What to do?

I am not sure about this one ... but some modded maps I have played on had some issues with field borders.GoranMo wrote:So, I currently play Old Streams Map if you know it, and I have a problem with hired workers when they plow.

Try plowing the outer parts of the field manually.
The hired help should turn, as soon as it gets to the parts you already plowed.
If you find it difficult to plow manually, the GPS mod would come in handy ...

Re: Need help with plowing
also check if you've set the plow to allow creating fields ...
but i guess the helper don't care for field borders on many modmaps, because of the way they are build
working the outer ring of the field manually before hiring an AI is always the best solution

Re: Need help with plowing
Allowing to create fields doesn't work with the hired helper. He doesn't work. But if a field border isn't set up properly in a map, you get this issue. Same happens if you create a field. The first time, he can be confused. Plowing the borders of a field yourself is the best option.Aranea wrote:also check if you've set the plow to allow creating fields ...

Re: Need help with plowing
I've just finished the major plowing on 'hard working 2' by the woodman, all of it was manual and i didn't need 'harold' once, ok,its taken me about a hundred hours of game time but i'm done, tip: use the green stock plough not the smaller red one it works a lot better. I feel its best to work manually than rely on hiring hands to do the work the AI is not the best even at the best of times.
Re: Need help with plowing
So, I forgot to say, even when I outline field manually with plow hired worker just continue forward like there is no end. But never mind, since Old Streams has mostly small fields I just started using big tractor with 8 furrow plow so manual plowing is how I roll from now. I mean it's not long before 2017 comes out so I don't mind working on my on for a while. It's just that manual plowing is really boring for me, but I guess it can't be avoided with this map
Re: Need help with plowing
I found a solution, I took the smallest sower from shop and planted grass around the field so now tractors stop at the end
