Weeds

[Stenleh44]

Did something change with weeds? All of a sudden my fields get an awful lot of medium weeds. Since release of 25 I barely have seen any weeds until now.

If I spray and weeds die do they still have an affect yield?

Thanks.

If you plow weeds never grow, if you cultivate it will get medium weed the day/month right after, if you directseed you'll get (i think) some small/medium weeds.

Yes spraying will give a yield penalty.

With medium weeds you need an hoe, vanilla have only one, and it's pretty big if you're short of space, maybe there are some smaller in the modhub.

I usually keep weeds off, since plowing make them pretty much an extra voice in the menu never to be seen, no point in keeping them on.

You sure about that? First I've heard of it. (Could be a knowledge gap on my part though.) Does it say that somewhere? Not in the Weeds section of the in-game help...

I believe Illgib's correct. The incentive is to get them early. Where as with Precision Farming, spraying is the correct way, because you take an Eco Score hit for using a weeder/hoe.

Don't remember where it's written and how much it cut, but it gets a little penalty, you should spary right after sowing to avoid weed growing, or when are too high that no tool can remove them.

Interesting. ...because the weeder left behind partial weeds, so i sprayed them and they were killed. Showed brown on the map. I then went to my other field never saw saw the status partial weed after spraying entire field. After that i thought spraying was the way to go.

When you say hoe...is that considered a weeder...correct? I can check in game, but currently not in the game.

A weeder will only get small weeds. A hoe will get both small and medium weeds. Only herbicide will kill the large weeds.
