Solution for sheeps to use farm fied as pasture

[bo8a]

When you unlock talent "fertilisation", need to set farm field crop type as (Fallow) then sheeps automatic come and do their thing :) for all who was having trouble like me lol

I have sheeps that moved in after many years refusing to move from the original pasture, it was after loading a saved game, it's also possible to destroy the original pasture and they move to a field in a blink.

My horde of sheeps since they moved in never go away from the fields, no matter if fallow or cultivated/harvested, they are on the field and apparently really like the place, they have a dedicated very large pasture and a few more fields that are always on fallow rotation and free to visit,

after some years and many sheep reproduced they decided one day to colonize a second field on a fresh session of a saved game, so they are there, on 2 different fields, never leaving them and not helping at all with the fertilizing of soils for the little i monitored this, they are useless to help with making my soils getting rich faster, made a second sheepfold to see if it changed something, both are full of workers, but nope... it's broken... at least i have tons of wool... i wish i could turn some into meat tho...

Yeah, I'm struggling to feed my larger colonies and some tasty mutton would certainly do the trick

At first it's nice to trade them for a nice laod of coins, but quickly the price drops too much, so it ain't worth it, managed to have around 200 of them, then wanted to get rid of them, sold all at the trading post, but had to keep the lambs, few years after i was in the same situation, full of sheep :/

Apparently if they don't have a pasture or field they start to escape, i tried this too, but the escapes are like one returns to the nature each couple of years so they still reproduce way more quickly than they escape and you can not get rid of them at all...

If you got talent tree unlocked for "fertilisation" , upgrade field and just select field crop to (Fallow) and destroy other sheep pastures, they auto swap.

I won't recommend anyone to spend points on this perk, simply a waste of points since sheeps don't increase fertility recovery speed for what i monitored during few in game years, they don't even move from the field once they get there once, they stay even when it's not fallow season anymore.


Apparently this was working in the open beta a year ago or so i was told, sheeps going to fallow fields and leaving them once rotation kicked in and were cultivated, where did this feature broke between open beta and EA release is mystery...
