Grass: two vs three month growth

[richv68]

Has anyone confirmed if in FS25 grass grows more by letting it grow an extra month? I sowed grass on a field, then let it grow for two months. It reached 100% yield, 100% fertilized. I saved, mowed and counted yield. Then I reloaded, let it grow for the third month, mowed and checked yield. It was the same. Is this as intended or it's another bug? Has anyone got extra yield waiting an extra month?

For reference sowing was August, first mowing on October and second on November. As far as i understand, from October to November we should get an extra growth stage in FS22. Not happening in FS25 from what I can see.

It visually changes if you let it grow 3 months vs 2 months, but I haven't done any actual testing if the yield is different, kinda just assumed it would give more if I let it grow one more stage vs just cutting it when it is ready in the first time. I think it was something like +50% yield if you wait that extra month in FS22? And since there is that visual difference, I guess it's a bug that they give the same amount of grass in both cases.

normally grass does´nt grow much the later you are in the year ;-) Grow should be reduced slightly after august with nearly no grow at late october. But fo sure this depends to the climate zone.

Confirmed that I get the exact same yield one stage short of full growth and at full growth. I think I'll report this one to Giants when I have a minute. (Someone else may have already but just in case).

You can see the flag in the grass xml that's supposed to be causing a 50% yield malus, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I've done many tests and can confirm that fs25 has same yield with 2 month grass and 3 month grass.

Where is this flag and what does it say? I have the file open.

Farming Simulator 25/data/foliage/grass/grass.xml, the bit commented as "green middle". Looks like this.

</foliageState>
<!-- 1 1 0 0 - green middle -->
<foliageState name="greenMiddle" distanceMap="distance/foliage_grass_distance3_diffuse.png" isGrowing="true" isHarvestReady="true" yieldScale="0.5" isDestructibleByDisaster="true" fieldCourseLineHeight="0.3">
<foliageShape>
<foliageLod blockShape="0>0|1"/>
<foliageLod blockShape="0>1|1"/>
</foliageShape>
</foliageState>

Is it the yieldscale parameter you are looking at? 0.5?

I've done several tests myself and agree. I don't think it's working. hence I opened this discussion. If anyone knows how to get to Giants' ear, would you be so kind to point this one out? Honestly, I don't even know if this is ok or not, as I dont remember a statement from Giants confirming that the long grass feature will return in FS25. Did anyone see this coming from Giants?

I opened a ticket with them for this today.

Can confirm, while the grass does change visually from stage 2 to stage 3, the yield I'm getting is roughly the same.

Even after one month you get as much yield as after two or three months.

I have tested it.
