AI not doing their job

[Sasha Mason]

Was trying to get the Helper to cultivate, but it'd just get in position and then just not move. It did that several times in a row so I had to take over to get it done at all.

I do like the new Helper AI settings and I do like the GPS, but the helper AI now feels even less reliable than before. When they actually do work, they work quiet well, but it feels like they are very confused as to what to do and just dont do anything.

Is it possible that part of the field has already been cultivated or is in some other state that doesn't require cultivation? Check on the map. Also, some implements need to be manually activated before the automated worker will use them (e.g. the Horsch cultivator with a fertilizer attachment).

Also, I've noticed the workers will often get "confused" if a part of a field is in a different state than another.

In my case, nothing about the field had been processed yet and it had recently been harvested, very early game, starter equipment on Riverbend. They would always line up to a lane that hasn't been processed yet, and then just refuse to move.

Same thing here. No idea what's going on. I did notice that if I took over and then re-enabled AI, they would move again. Not sure how reliably, though, since I've only played a short while.

It gets a bit janky after a long session, a reload usually clears it.

I noticed some things.
If you do a new crop type on a field AI want work. If you harvest the field 1 time yourself then AI will work again on that field.
Same happens if u change the field itself. For example if you connect 2 fields. Do de job the first time yourself and then AI will work again on that field.

a rule to do before engaging Ai, Drive your self, 2-3 laps Around the field,BEFORE using Ai driver! its been the Base rule on all previous. Even it says you dont have to.

That rule no longer applies due to the change in the ai between 22 and 25. The ai in 25 now uses the same GPS system that is available to the player. As such, the ai is now capable of working an entire field, regardless of shape, including headlands.

As far as the issue of the thread, I have not run into this so far. I have used the ai to plow several rice paddies and cultivate several normal fields, all without issue. They would start in the center and do the headlands last. I did open the ai field work menu each time to verify the settings before unleashing it upon the field.

I haven't had this issue since, only ever had one tractor with a cultivator that just refused to work. It's weird because it would line up on the field and then just, freeze. It did that while my harvester was working away just fine, and last time I played I had the AI use a seeder for a few of the fields, and it honestly impressed me how good of a job it did.

Like, there was a small spot that it had missed all the way near the beginning, and when it got to the end, it drove all the way across the entire field to finish up that one speck that it missed.

I've had the same issue with a lot of eqipment, tractors, self- propelled harvesters, and even some leased machines, really want the fs22 AI back, at least it would do something at all

I just had it with 2 plows on NE top section of map on 2 different fields "forget which". Both of them I fold th eplow in travel mode. And when told them to get back to work they dropped the plow.. still in transport mode and wouldnt move.

same in my game only with harvesters
