AI suddenly stopped working in a certain field

[Fireone2]

Has anyone come across an issue with suddenly not being able to select AI in a field previously used with AI?

When i bring up the AI menu it just says no field detected for preview.

As soon as you manipulate a field size it´s over. I face the same issue. On 3 different maps. Clearly a bug and clearly to be fixed by the devs.

I think the issue is I cleared some trees around the edge of the field and it messed with the AI for some reason. Bummer.

Are you talking about modded maps by chance? I've merged a decent amount of fields together on the default American map and I haven't had any issues but I haven't tried any other maps yet

Happens from time to time. Detach the tool and attach again often "fixes" issues. Make sure you're inside the field.
Reset vehicle / tool also can help.
or just quit game and load again.

No this is on Riverbed springs. The 3 fields in front of the house merged together. Was fine until i cleared some trees at the end of the field and now it's broken. Tried everything to get it to work.
I'll just cover the fields and run some cattle on the ground.

That sucks. I did the same thing with those 3 fields and also gutted just about every tree in the area but fortunately nothing like that happened to my savegame. Hopefully it's fixed for you in this upcoming patch.

What implement were you using? The message can be very vague about the reason sometimes. For example, if you're attempting to plant off season or trying to harvest with a little bit of residual crop it will say this.

Sometimes there is no reason and the best thing to do is make sure you are on the field, hold H, click on reset, exit, press H and just step back. Failing that, try a restart and repeat above process.

I've merged many, many fields on Giants maps and modded maps without ever having an issue. If I found it happening, I'd be looking for a different cause.
