Map: TWTOF
Game version: 1.5.1 (happened before latest update, now updated the game)
I cut down a tree (coordinates approx: 1307, 1635; between fields 60 and 71) with a chainsaw. It fell. Now I can't interact with it in any way - tractors run through it, chainsaw will not cut etc. But the tree is clearly visible.
It has happened only once, so can't repeat it. Can anyone direct me how to edit my savegame so I can rid of it?

Edit don_apple: moved to 'ModHub Mod Bug-Reports' since this is related to a mod-map from the ModHub

Same thing happened to me on Westbridge hills. I think I was able to reproduce it by cutting down a tree and then keep cutting it in small pieces, so small that they disappear after been cut.

My problem is - I cannot cut it or move it or anything else. Yet it's clearly on the field and by the looks of it - still "growing" - spring came and nice green leaves appeared
So - any hints on how to edit my savegame to get rid of it (as there's no way I can recreate it, I'm not looking into "fix the bug in game/mod/whatever").
Looks terrible - I have such a nice field and now this in the middle of it:

Oh man... That's crazy. I know you said it won't let you cut it up or anything. I doubt this would be any different, but have you tried a stump grinder?

It is possible that the hit-box for the chainsaw has moved off from the trunk of the tree. Try "looking" around with the chainsaw for the saw-here circle.

Nope, the tree is just a hallucination
As you can see from the pic, I drove the tractor through it twice. I can also walk through it.
Tried with stump grinder, chainsaw, just to pick it by hand - nothing.
It really isn't there. And yet it is.
It'll be autumn tonight and harvesting time. So I'll be driving my harvester through it

PS. I'm on PC, so editing savegame should be possible.

Have you tried taking something tall like a manitou, to see if you can possibly hit it in the air so it moves and possibly changes position so it would let you touch/cut it again ?

I have the same problem. Now I have it just sitting there in the middle of my field , only thing is I have it in a different spot, same field, its the tree nearest the road on the left of where you are I think

Hmm.. This is bad (or good, depends).
Dear BSM - can you look into this?!

So noone knows how to delete the phantom tree?

I have two of these on Broxton, right next to each other. I believe that they are the same kind of tree as yours. I have yet to figure out how to rid myself of them. I've learned to just live with them.

@Giants, @Lisertan,
as this happens on different maps I would say it's not mod-specific but rather something engine-specific. Please look into this! Get back to me if you need more input (like savegame files).

Just to get attention from you, sry:

Here are two errors in my log that I am assuming refers to the two trees. They are the same errors that I saw in the console when I looked after I first cut down the phantom trees.

My log is clean.

Try enabling developer mode by looking at the game.xml file (located where the mods folder is). Look for a line that has <developer> in it and change the false to true, making sure to keep any quotation marks if any. Save the file, then in game press F5 and look for a orange box (it's a collision) somewhere near or on the field that doesn't have any visual object in it. Use your chainsaw and cut it and see if that works.
