Harvest Contract issues....

[MillenialBoomer91]

Anyone else having issues with being able to complete harvest contracts? I get the entire field harvested, all the grain transported to the appropriate store/vendor, and it's still roughly 99% complete (and NO, I havent left a speck of grain anywhere on the field) as well as only 94% transported. This has been an issue since release and cannot find a clear answer on how to fix this. I getting awfully tired of spending 2+ hours running a combine for nothing.

Well since Patch 1.5 most people don't have harvest contracts anymore.
That issue you mentioned was solved way before Patch 1.5. That you have it is surprising, but there is a mod with which you can harvest straw from contracts and sell it, perhaps try that mod.

If you want to fix stuck or broken Harvest Contracts when you are 110% sure you did everything right, then watch the video I made when the game came out that explains how with a few moments and a text editor of your choice you can fix those contracts, get paid and not have your time wasted:

1.5 did something to the contracts I have seen a lot of people complain their broken, I never do them haven't done them since farming simulator 13.

I remember one of the devs talking about the bonus for completing the harvesting contracts being to much (i.e. to much left over crop). I have a feeling, they adjusted that, and coupled with precision farming reducing yields for un-cared for fields (haven't been properly fertilized, weeded, and bad pH levels) that the net result is not enough crop to complete the contract.

Good to read this. I was just coming to see if there was a problem with harvest contracts not being offered. I guess so.

They are offered. They just disappear fast. I've had them disappear even after I accepted them. A couple of times they disappeared after I completed them, just before I collected the payment.

Any word from the Devs that they are aware of this?

Considering problem was spotted immediately after 1.5 and nothing was done at 1.6, to bug that would IMO be worthy of hotfix, I would not be hopeful.

Best to assume contracts are from now on until eternity useless.

I find this hard to believe being a big part of the game for many.

Giants stated they didn't have time to get the fix in 1.6.

As Giants is lazy/incompetent/cheap they don't want to go through the console patching process more than once per DLC, so 1.7, before the next DLC in the next couple months and hopefully will fix the issue.

Well, it was introduced immediately in 1.5. We are now in 1.6 and no fix. As you said it is major part for players, but Giants does not seem to care. If they did, they would have fixed it by 1.6.

As I said, if I was making calls it would have been hotfix, which Giants has done. So assume it will be ignored in favor of new content.

Giants is not known to speedily fix bugs which are not flat out game destroying.

Thanks, just done this, and found a better "notepad" :)

I use the contracts system simply because the leasing costs are a lot less than if I were to lease the required machinery from the shop. I use the machinery to harvest, then store all of the produce in my silo or one of the other storage silos on the map. Then I buy the field which cancels the contract but I get to keep all of the produce and sell it when the price is right.
