I’m noticing on the newest release (465) that the farmer will place items down (especially windows/doors/etc) over preforming their farming tasks.
I had one farmer who kept running to her field, turning running away to put in a door and then repeating about 4 times to put windows in a building before she would begin planting crops.
It seems as if Placing Items is higher on the task priority than Planting Crops and other farmer related tasks.
Hmmm farmers didn’t use to Place things. I added an exception for plants so that farmers could put down the trees. It looks like that has been broken somehow. Will investigate
