Stones are supposed to come back after you do specific types of soil work. There is a very helpful but not completed tutorial section on giants website

yes the coming back when you plow the fields total normal

I have no problem with the stones, because I turned them off in the options. I don't think he ever introduced anything stupider than the stones of GIANTS. Do they grow like weeds every year? Perhaps there are places like that somewhere in the world, but it surely doesn't exist everywhere in every field.

Different soil behave differently. In certain regions stone pop up like a plague

As you wrote yourself: In certain regions. How many such soils are there? 5%? Everybody is like that in FS22.

your comment does not make sense, what do you mean by 5% soil? stones are not mandatory, don't like them disable them. Stones are a reality in the farming world, like it or not.
Btw the maps are all made up, they are a loose representation of france, switzerland and the usa.

The way stones are handled in FS22 is crazy. How do stones reproduce every time the field is ploughed or cultivated? Surely there are a finite amount of stones a field can produce. Making stones a commodity is also daft as they are almost worthless.

The earth's crust is 10 to 70 km thick.

it's a substantial problem in the northern US and other areas previously glaciated - ice forms under deep stones, pushing them upwards. Giants is actually understating the stones problem, these are just gravel, not the massive boulders you get near the Great Lakes (US/Can). Squatch253 over on youtube has a number of videos of digging rocks out of his fields, and just to highlight how much of an ongoing problem it is, there are PILES of the stupid things over near the trees where previous landowners have dug them out and shoved them off to the side to not deal with

As someone who lives roughly in the middle of the state of Wisconsin, I can guarantee you there will be farmers picking up stones from their fields come spring. Maybe not as much as in this game, but it's definitely an every year thing.

Ya...roll one of those nice 5 inch stones through the kernel processor on a forage harvester.

I actually saw a deer run in front of a combine with a grain header on it.....the combine won.

Back around August I spent days running a stone picker on just one sod field. When I'd be almost done, guess what. Here comes the boss with that fn cultivator. Rinse and repeat,lol.
Frozen ground this winter and next will ensure I'm doing it all over again in a couple years.

Yep, in real life time they keep comin' back, but in a bigger time span.
In game you can infinitely spawn stones from a field if you keep plow-destone-plow-destone ecc.. in the same day, that's the problem, they should stop come up after x times, and come back after a while.
Actually you're growing stones more than crops.
I disabled them the first time i tried, i seen the time/struggle/revenue wasn't worth at all.
I can make lime out of them, but it cost much less to buy it from a refiller.

As is, it's an overdone annoyance than anything else.
