Farmer Double Back

Hey guys noticed some funny farmer behavior.

-Recreate-

  1. Have a bunch of other stuff to do
  2. Place farm plot
  3. Let plant grow
  4. Farmer harvests plants
  5. Farmer goes to run and do something
  6. Farmer immediately runs back to replant crops

-Expected-

  1. Have a bunch of other stuff to do
  2. Place farm plot
  3. Let plant grow
  4. Farmer harvests plants
  5. Farmer replants crops
  6. Farmer runs off to do other stuff.

Not huge but could be an annoyance in the micro management sector :wink:

-Specs-
Intel Core i7-3770
12GB Ram
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 660 Ti

Are the plants going bad? Really low quality soil may make the farmer return to replant the crop.

I’m not sure if its implemented right but you should be able to increase soil quality by setting fields to fallow for a while.

if above is true it is still a bug as the farmer is still stuck doing useless work. Perhaps the farmers should leave the failed crop(for players to notice and change to fallow) or clear the tile to fallow and not plant onto poorest quality soil tiles.

Not sure what the “goes to run off to do other stuff” is really. Like what other stuff are they going to do? Mine just carries food off to storage then comes back and plants seeds. They did make some farmer changes that were not mentioned. Like multiple farmer interactions. Before when I had 3 farmers they’d get in each others way trying to do the same job. Now all 3 go off doing their own thing which increases overall efficiency.

Wow I gotta find a better way of tracking topics I make. I’ll try retesting this in Alpha 13 to see if its still an issue…probably isn’t though :wink:
