v2.4.3.1 (Pre-release) - Burn build-up, seeding/mid-save fixes, taproot
Pre-release
Pre-release
Test build 2.4.3.1, on top of the 2.4.3.0 stable. A batch of burn fixes plus a couple of new things.
Burn
- The burn penalty now builds up as you spray instead of an instant -80%. An accidental brush or a slide onto the field costs only a small amount, giving you time to shut the sprayer off. Sustained spraying still reaches the full burn.
- Seeding with starter fertilizer no longer burns young crops.
- The burn penalty no longer sticks after you replant (clears on sow, cultivate or plough).
- The soil monitor now warns you before liming or manuring would scorch the crop.
Compaction
- Ploughing now relieves only a little compaction. A subsoiler is still the real fix.
- Oilseed radish and canola slowly ease compaction as they grow.
Other
- Fresh mid-save installs no longer start fields at 0/0/0/0.
- See & Spray buy option shows on every sprayer (from the 2.4.3.0 line).
How to test
- Drop the zip in your mods folder and load a save.
- Burn: lime or manure a fully grown crop and watch the penalty build up as you spray. Brushing the edge should cost very little.
- Mid-save: add the mod to an existing save and check fields start at sensible values, not zero.
- Please report anything odd in the issues.
