Plowing Fields - Oxen Dying

[BigBadAss33]

What gives.. Why can you not plow a field anytime you want?

I drag my ox to the plough and they just sit there and Die...

Please ensure you have ticked "Enable Oxen Supply" on the Farm screen. This directs farm employees to gather water and hay for the oxen.

Also, after the latest update, oxen in farms age and die. Keep clicking on the plough on the farm to check the age of the oxen. Around 16-17 years of age, the oxen die.

Also, fields are automatically plowed in March before they're sowed, if you have workers in the farm and have put a checkmark in the option to plough the fields. This is checked by default, though. They can't be plowed whenever you want.

The oxen will stand outside the farm hooked up the the ploughs the rest of the year, poor fellows...

Could be. If there's no one to bring hay and water, then the ox die. For all animal buildings, you have to make sure they are staffed with people, and have food and water BEFORE you move animals in.

I always put 5 workers at farm and 1 manager and i never had problems. And i laways make sure that there are enough labourers that can harvest everything until the end of november.
