Grassland Care

[humbletycoon2020]

I thought I read somewhere that when caring for grassland fields, you should use a roller (I have the Diablo Maxiline 630). I tried this and it does not seem to do anything and the field still shows that it needs plowing.

Rolling grassfields (with a roller from the grassland care section) gives one stage of fertilizer. You still have to plow and do all the other things, but you don't need to fertilize if you roll after cutting.

Plowing and rolling are different things. Rolling grown grass does not appear to do anything. you can roll after seeding and if you cut the grass coll it afterwards. But visually you will not see much..

The grass roller is for after mowing. The field roller is for after planting.

After you mow your grass and collect/bale it, your grass will have one level of fertilizer. A grass roller will then give you the second.

Also, if you were to then cultivate and replace the grass with another crop, the fertilizer will remain. This is very handy when playing with seasons. You can grow grass as a catch crop, cut it for silage bales, and get two levels of fertilizer all for the cost of some grass seed.

Thank you big brzezinski!

Also should note as well after using a Grass Roller on a Grass Field, it'll be instantly changed from Harvested/Mowed back to Growing, this saves you having to skip ahead several months for the grass to decide to start growing back on it's own. Meaning you can usually squeeze in an extra mowing each year if you remember to use the Grassroller after you have mowed the field and collected your grass off it.

I wonder why my field is not changing the fertilizer level or harvested mode after i roll it with the roller. I own one of the grassland fields on the Erlengrat map.

Isn't the Diablo Maxiline 630 a grass roller? I bought it from the grassland section and have used it after mowing. I still do not get it.

It's supposed to. That's what I use. Mow the grass, get it baled up and moved, then roll it all. Are you trying to roll meadow areas? You can only use the roller on actual fields. It won't help on painted grass.
