So one of the things I love in a game is the farming mechanics. So while I was playing around with the farms, I noticed the soil had quality, so I looked at the farm options and clicked the one with no crop because it said the soil replenished.
After that I started getting the red screen of death.
(Since I can’t upload pictures yet) This screen is pretty much just a list of errors. I got this a few times before, with only a few listed, but this was a full page of notes and whenever I closed it, it popped up again after a few seconds.
–Edit–
Alright! After a bit of testing I have successfully recreated the bug.
Here are the steps I took.
- I placed a field of turnips.
- While they grew I built a little house.
- I waited until all the turnips had been harvested from the region.
- When they were, I changed the field to plain soil. Then the error came up again.
Just in case it’s important, my professionals included a foot soldier, a tailor, and a carpenter.

I had this error as well, when I tried changing a farm from producing silk to making nothing. Haven’t been able to reproduce it yet, but I think this screenshot is from when it happened:
Let me know if you can reliably reproduce it
hey there @Zurukin… welcome aboard! 
as @phector2004 suggested, if you can provide some steps to reliably reproduce the error, it will really help in resolving the issue… 
I think i found a solution to the cause, i found out my farmers continued to ‘plant’ after i switched my field from turnips to fallow, and every time they did it flashed an error, removing the fallow field stopped the errors, ill throw up a bug report soon enough
I just encountered this exact error, in Alpha 1665. It appears to occur exactly as mangarz described.
Summary:
Switching a field from a crop type to fallow will spam error messages when the farmers begin removing the crop.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a crop field of any size, and add any crop (I used silkweed).
- Once the crop has been planted, switch it to fallow.
- Errors will begin to report when the farmer(s) start to harvest.
Expected Result:
Crop is harvested and not replanted.
Actual Result:
Farmers continue to till the empty soil, producing dozens of errors.
Notes:
Saving the game during the error, then reloading from that save, seems to stop the error.
