Animal/Crop Search Request
When clicking on a field/farm/pasture/ect I'd love a search feature to type in what crop or animal I'd like to place. I don't know about how others are navigating it, but I can only see so many types of crop/animal and the rest are cut off, leaving me unable to click on them despite having them available to place them. With how many crops/animals there are as options, it would also speed up game play to have a search function.

you mean you cannot change the current animal/crop seed ? you need to evacuate existing animal in that current pasture, and for the corps, u will need to wait untill the harvest season finish. pasture : you need slaugther animal or move all the animal unit unto another pasture, and for farm : you need to wait mid to end of year untill the farmer finish harvest then you can change the crops type.

I wish I could attach a picture for you, great advice however no, I don't mean I can't change the animal or crop seed in the proper timing (empty pasture / harvest season finish). I mean that I have captured/bought all of the following animals: alpaca, buffalo, pig, duck, chicken, goose, cattle, turkey, sheep, horse. However when I click on a new corral, for example, and click to assign an animal, I can only see 4 or 5 to choose from, the rest being cut off by the small window with no way to expand said window to view all animals available to me and no scroll function that I can find either, perhaps you've found one? Maybe I'm simply missing something simple? I've over 100 hours of game play.

Yes, I'm certain I have each of those animals available to me, they are alive and ready to be assigned. I understand after a time of only having 1 of an animal without it being assigned it dies. With the goose for example, I have them in an existing pen, and I can assign them to new pens that still have a "?" above them by using the separate out function but I can't click on the new pen, then select them as it's cut off.

This is the case with several windows I've noticed like the cannery. I can't make vegetable cans as it only shows the options of using wild vegetables, onions, broccoli, and I can barely select peppers as there is only a sliver of the clickable area visible, the rest are cut off. So even though I have tomatoes, winter squash, pumpkins, and plenty of several other vegetables that are designed to be used in the cannery, I can't select them to be used. I've played with the settings with no solution, tried to grab the edge of windows to expand them in any direction to no avail.

With the caravans, when choosing an item to sell, a search function is there, which has made finding items quite efficient. If the same was done for choosing animals in pastures, ect, it would be a great improvement :)
I'm going to spin around a bit, sorry if it doesn't fix your problem. I'm trying to put myself in your shoes right now.
Did you perhaps change something in the settings regarding control, keyboard layout or display?
If so, try resetting to "default" and see if your problem persists.

All settings reset to default, no change

And the mouse scroll wheel doesn't work? I had read your issue earlier and when I got enough different animals now, I realised I hover over the panel and use the scroll wheel. My panel only shows 3 species, but I had 5.

That could be it!! I'm on a laptop, I'll have to find a mouse to plug in and experiment, thank you all for your contribution and solution seeking

Yup, scroll wheel fixed it! I hardly even remember the scroll wheel exists as I rarely use it on my laptop. Again, thank you all for your thoughts and time :)

Lol, I'm now having the same problem and am using the mouse wheel!
