Early Access Update Release v0.1.5.0

With today’s update v0.1.5.0 we have further improved the steering and added support for established head tracking systems which transfer your head movement into a very realistic camera feeling in the vehicle cabins. Besides some bug fixes we have also attended the usability of the task system: from now on you can reuse created tasks for your workers by saving or copying them as templates. This is especially useful when you want to cultivate multiple fields in a row. Just copy the first task, change the field, the time or the vehicle/trailer combination as you please and it’s on! We’re looking forward to your feedback on the subject in our forum. At the same time we are working on the combine update, which brings you, apart from multiple crop sorts, a combine, as well as a seeding unit for the Hammer CornKing. At the moment we are researching a very promising, physics based solution for the loading and unloading of our 3-side-tipper. We are confident that this system could also be a part of our “Move That Mountain” stretch goal - and it is honestly quite sexy - so we decided to take a bit more time for this update. Please check out all the changes, bug fixes and news in our changelog, as always. We hope you have a nice weekend and fun testing! The MBB team

Changelog:

NEW: Headtracking using the FreeTrack 2.0 Protocol is now supported. This protocol is supported by several popular headtracking solutions, including FreeTrackNoIR, OpenTrack and TrackIR. As usual with head tracking Solutions on Windows, their software must run in the background. On Linux, head tracking is supported via Linux Track http://facetracknoir.nl/ https://github.com/uglyDwarf/linuxtrack/
NEW: The task creation has been improved: Create template: you can save a filled out task as template and label it Load template: when you load a template, drivers, vehicles and all other task settings are selected automatically. If a specific driver isn’t available, another worker is selected. If a specific vehicle/trailer combination isn’t available, another vehicle of the same type can be selected Copy task: readily planned tasks can be duplicated Multiple fields in one task: several fields can be added, they are then cultivated consecutively
NEW: Multiple workers can now be added to one field cultivation task
NEW: The worker now has a “start from the beginning” option
NEW: Notification in an info window when the worker has finished his task
NEW: The maximised minimap can now be minimized with the escape key
BUG FIX: Multiple bug fixes & changes for the Deutz Fahr 7250 TTV: Rear three-point hitch adjusted (lower linkage orientation) Indoor / outdoor sound rate calculation fixed Indoor button lighting brightness lowered Skylight lever now rotates back when closing Texture UV distortions fixed, completely unnecessary and unsexy holes patched CabControl added for parking brake lever and four-wheel drive button Steering rod / front wheel base / front fender now rotate correctly Rear wheel base positions adjusted Camera / seat position adjusted
BUG FIX: The wedges behind the front wheels of the Axion have been removed
BUG FIX: The connection between seed addon and seeder looks better now
BUG FIX: The workers now should go to the silo that has been assigned to them when doing a harvesting task
BUG FIX: When the worker handles the CornKing, he now also uses the row marker
BUG FIX: The bulls don’t look through the walls of the Betimax any longer
BUG FIX: The bulls shouldn’t be able to walk through a closed pasture gate any longer as well as open it autonomously
BUG FIX: Changes for the steering wheel ‘Saitek Heavy Equip’: arrow keys can now be assigned correctly; the character doesn’t walk left when the steering wheel is in zero position
BUG FIX: The info panel for “always run/full throttle” has been adjusted and now displays correctly if “always run” or “always full throttle” has been selected in the settings. The shift key is now also being displayed in vehicles
CHANGE: The position of the first person camera has been adjusted/heightened and is now on eye level with the character
CHANGE: The current status of a UserAction is now being shown in a sidebar and quickbar
CHANGE: Reworking of translations in the vehicle shop

Cattle and Crops is a new generation of farming simulation designed with special attention to detail.

You have the choice: control the vehicles yourself and experience realistic driving or leave the work to your employees, lean back and enjoy the field ballet.

Highly detailed machinery, realistic harvesting methods, original sounds and an authentic vehicle physics system offer you a compelling experience in Cattle and Crops.

Experience the varied everyday life of a farmer. Choose between a story mode or free play. The game also provides additional tutorial missions to make you familiar with the simulation.

Hire employees to cultivate your fields, or to assist you when you’re harvesting. You can delegate tasks with your calendar and watch your employees do their job or take care of the work in front of you on your own. Cattle and Crops provides a complex employee system where the workers take care not to damage the harvest.

Skillfully avoid unnecessary driving tracks on the field to keep soil compaction low so your plants can spread their roots in the loose soil to maximize the yield.

Take care of your crops so don’t hang their heads and make your fields prosper.
Plant growth (using the real BBCH scale) is based on multiple soil attributes like moisture, pH value, temperature, sunshine hours, NPK fertilizer and diseases.

Gather the harvest at the right time and try not to get stuck in the mud when it’s raining.

Cattle and Crops offers a range of big, well known industry brands such as CLAAS, Köckerling, Lemken, Mercedes-Benz and a lot more.

Extend the game with your own vehicles, implements and maps. We’re providing you with all the tools you need for it.
