New Crops & Grass Farming
Added grass as a new crop.
Grass seeds are now available from agro stores and the home agro magazine.
Grass can be planted with standard seeders and can be sown by hired workers.
Grass can be planted outside winter and follows its own growth cycle:
Small: 10 days
Medium: 20 days
Ready to mow: 30 days
Withered: 180 days
Cultivated grass fields provide significantly more grass than naturally growing grass.
Combine harvesters cannot harvest grass and will destroy the crop if used on it.
Barley and oats now leave straw after harvesting.
Hay, Straw & Drying
Freshly cut grass now has humidity and gradually dries during suitable weather.
Mowed grass visually changes from fresh green to dry yellow as moisture decreases.
Nearby grass piles display their current humidity percentage.
Grass can be raked at any humidity level, but must be sufficiently dry before it can be baled.
Mowed grass can still be collected manually and used for animals or sold.
Dry grass now produces dedicated hay bales, visually distinct from straw bales.
Straw and grass can both be raked into rows before baling.
Hay bales provide 100% feed value when delivered to a cowshed.
Straw bales provide 25% feed value.
Hay bales sell for 50% more than straw bales.
New Vehicles & Equipment
[p align="start"]Added several new grass-working machines:STIHL RT 6721 ride-on mower
Merciless 965 twin-rotor rake
Old side-delivery hay rake
Old Wasp 3 side mower
Wasp Gen 4 side mower
Existing rear mower is now fully operational
Vehicle Stores
[p align="start"]Vehicle store selections have been expanded across both eras.[p align="start"]1960sOld side mower and side-delivery rake added to the western vehicle store near Nathan and Nelly's farm.
Additional Maverick 450 tractors added to multiple dealerships around the map.
Twin-rotor rake and modern side mower added near Nathan and Nelly's farm.
STIHL ride-on mower added to the southern bridge dealership.
Additional Kraftig 7 and Tercites Tepeo tractors added to several dealerships.
Improved Vehicle Physics
Several foldable implements now use fully physical attachments that interact naturally with walls, fences, vehicles and other obstacles.
Attachments can rest against obstacles while unfolding instead of forcing themselves through them.
Improved behavior of wheeled three-point attachments such as the modern rake.
Workers
Workers can now be ordered to sow grass.
Workers can also mow and sell grass using suitable tractors and mowing equipment.
Economy
Improved accuracy when calculating income from:
Grain
Potatoes
Sugar beets
Lumber mill products
Inventory & Controls
Improved inventory and toolbelt item handling.
Items moved from the toolbelt now stay in the inventory position where they were placed.
Fixed several cases where stacked items could temporarily disappear, move to another toolbelt slot or display incorrectly.
Improved drag-and-drop reliability when scrolling through a full inventory.
Furniture, pallets and other objects now correctly display “Place” instead of tool-related wording.
Improved object placement and rotation prompts with the correct item names.
Fixes & Improvements
Fixed the greenhouse at the north-east farm not being fully repairable.
Fixed field detection when the tractor itself is outside a field but the attached implement (e.g. mower) is still working inside it.
Fixed foldable vehicle parts potentially becoming stuck if the player exited the tractor during operation.
Fixed building materials occasionally disappearing or failing to replenish.
Various inventory indexing, toolbelt and item-stack stability fixes.
