Fresh Fields

Sometimes you just know everything will go pear-shaped… Or maybe you don’t but it does anyway! I set the scene and talked you through the background for that new farming adventure and then I set out on my first job for one of the neighbouring farms. It was then that I hit a problem,,,

Harvesting the field went ok…

…The FMZ Vistula handled the work very well and the small trailer and Bolinder-Munktell tractor were up to the task of carrying the harvested oats to the grain mill…

…and there, the problem reared its ugly head. The mill paid the cash to me – it didn’t recognise the job as being work I was doing for another farmer😟 The issue seems to be a mis-alignment of the delivery coordinates with the location of the sell-point. I’ve tried restarting the game, checking the validity of the game files, uninstalling and reinstalling the map but the issue persists. I’m scratching my head and looking for a solution. This makes the premise that I have a farm and equipment but no fields of my own unworkable.

Games, and especially mods, can be quirky. What works for one person may not be ok on another player’s pc. I’ve been watching Daggerwin’s series and he doesn’t have this issue. This leaves me with a potentially fun series of posts that could be stillborn😞 However, I hope that I may have found a way to go ahead, something that I want to do because this map is worth it for the scenery alone (you may get the impression of its beauty from the screenshot above!).

Here’s the updated hypothetical new farm – it no longer is just the basic farmhouse and yard, there’s 3 fields as well. That will give me an internal source of income and I can still supplement that (when I’m not too busy) with ploughing and cultivating work for the other farmers.

I’ve rebuilt it all from scratch once more and we’re good to go. It’s not the gameplay that I had planned but we can still enjoy the vintage machinery in a beautiful setting😎👍
