Due to the Community Managers vacation there were no separate threads concerning the news our moderators had posted here in the forum. We're still working on the most recently introduced systems and would like to briefly summarize the current development and progress of these features. Part of our work is currently focused on the visualization and function of the silos. Similar to the trailers, they will be able to be filled dynamically at any point and additionally will be able to compressed. Depending on the vehicle, weight and fruit type, the achievable compaction rates can be higher or lower. The end of this week, the focus was on the correct loading and unloading of the silos and the volume distribution when hitting a point in the silo. In the coming days we will refine the compaction in order to make the effects of the vehicles as real as possible. But as always, pictures say more than a thousand words: https://youtu.be/3Lon8souCCM The weather system related to plant growth is the second major building block for the upcoming update. Not only are we working on increasing the complexity of plant growth, but also on adjusting it to the new real weather data. Most recently, one of the main factors of the weather was rain, and thus water reserves in the soil. We have to make sure that our rainfall and soil conditions, with influences such as transpiration, soil evaporation and storage capacity, interact correctly with the fruit growth and that the plant develops as realistically as possible according to the parameters. After water, were going to deal with further growth parameters such as temperature and further develop fertilisation. Additionally were working on general bug fixing and AI improvements.

🕹️ Partial Controller Support
- "Cattle and Crops"-SteamOS [35.9 M]
- Professional Farmer: Cattle and Crops - Digital Supporter Pack
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.
