how to: split a large field - ein feld zerteilen

[jaguarete]

Hi,
i have a problem.
I'm playing on the Frisian March 4x map with huge fields.
How can i divide a field? Two or more parts.

Hallo, ich habe ein Problem.
Wie kann ich ein großes Feld zerteilen? In Zwei oder mehr Teile.

Thx/Danke

Just sow a strip of grass where you want your field to stop. I don`t think Coarseplay will see it as two fields but hired help should work ok as long as the strip of grass is wide enough to avoid machines overlapping. Also may not work with hired help ploughing not sure.

In the misc. section of the store, buy the roller. it will delete parts of the field you roll over and convert it back to grasslands. this also prevents courseplay/workers from not recognizing the new field edge like in the method mentioned above.

Ok,
thank you for both tips.
I will try both, for dividing and for more space at the end (worker sometimes drive into the ditch(frisian march map 4x).

Ok, i used the roller. I made a strip around the field and in the middle.
The strip of gras now has a width of 30m between both new fields.
But on the map i still see the "2" in the middle of the whole "old" large field.
Will this change?
I also have the "Farmers-Tablet mod" and the size didn't changed.

Here's a related question. Although a big field can be divided visually with a grass strip, hired workers using a plow will go right through that grass strip because it is seen as just another crop on a field and just as with any other crop they will rip it up. They will do this regardless of the setting for allowing plows to create new fields. Is there any way to avoid this?

There's a difference between planted "growing" grass and the inert "Astro-turf" that the roller produces. The later becomes a field Border that the AI workers will detect and keep to the new partition. (Of course, AI workers can go wonkie with best laid out plans.)

The Fields dont change visually on the Minimap as it is static, doesnt change EVER.

But you should see the new Field sizes working just fine when you scan new field borders with courseplay or hire workers!

Ah ok.
Difference between "gras" and "roller-gras".
@Flash: I didn't used Courseplay or the Worker after the change. Will try it later.
Thanx for the infos guys.

Use the "Ground Modifacation" roller mod (should be in Modhub) it has around 15+ different ground types to chose from, plus a "delete grass" option. Most of these ground types will stop helper workers (or even yourself) from ploughing, cultivating or sowing over the selected ground, unless you have the plough set to "create fields" of course.

Although lacking in many of the wonderful textures of the mod, the Vanilla roller will do all that OzWombatBloke describes.
