Contracts not completing

[drevil6420]

Has anybody had a problem with doing the harvesting contracts and finishing the field and dropping the product off and it is only at 98% complete. Im i missing something?

no probelm here. You should get more than needed for the contract and get some extra to sell and keep.

Dito with "Willow" .. no probs here . be aware thought, if you use a worker, depending on the crop, the may miss too much harvest .. thinking potatoes or sugarbeats. Mostley I do all that manually and look very closely wheer they may have missed. Did a cotton contacrt and it hit "0" cause there was no overlap (meaning no extra payoff, one cotton stalk would have made the contract unfinished). And don't forget, you must sell at where they want you to (I made the mistake once and sold at wronge place)

[sindar58]

of note..I did read a thread that mentioned if you get out of the vehicle while selling, it will not count. Just thought I'd mention that .. not that I would get out cause i have to continue back:)) IDK, you may have "TABED" out to the next vehicle before completing .. could happen.

I've had a mission fail because due to low fert and weeds the NPC field's yeild netted me only 97% of what the contract called for. If it was later in my game and I had some crop of my own I could top it off for the payout but it was still very early in my game.

I also just the other day ran into a "not completed" contract. Field was harvested, all vehicles were empty of the harvest and it was stuck on 99% for a full in game day. I then restarted (i think with out saveing) and ended up with the same issue. Had to "fail" the contract just to move on, sucked as it was a 39k something lose.

As a curiosity, are those who reported not being able to complete contracts using leased or personal equipment with low durability?


I'm wondering if this could somehow be related to the reduced maintenance bar / durability of leased equipment. If a poorly maintained header/combine actually reduces yield, then perhaps it's just not possible to harvest enough to meet the contract minimum. Probably a stretch, but who knows.

[Deadmanrunning-=dust=-]

I was useing Leased equipment. Thought, I do not think Leased versus owned equipment is the issue.

However, The second part you mentioned, "reduced yields due to maintenance" is spot on I think. If I recall correctly, the harvester I was useing/leasing was about half way down on its maintenance bar at the end of the field. So the missing 1% make sence, because they treat the "jobs" machinery (leased) just like your owned ones. Admittedly, not sure how the programming would work out.

I saw this happen in my game recentally with a canola contract on Felsbrunn.....it was in the smallish field along the road by the farmhouse towards the east there. THere just was not enough crop to fufill the contract. I got seriously burned on the missing crop (like to the tune to 20k $ to the Red). I used my own combine and trailers to harvest it (was using the smaller John Deere with the matching header).

baling for example gets to only 64% on field 9

If your combine has any damage you harvest less product. About 50% wear will yield about 25% less harvest than a repaired harvester. I wonder if that was the cause for any of you using your own equipment.

Are you sure about that? MrSealyp has a YT video that shows header condition has absolutely no effect on crop yield.

Hi i have also experienced harvest incomplete too on fields 7,11 and 19 at 98 and 99% of felsbrunn map using leased and my own equipment. I already posted on forum about this problem a few days ago I wonder if it's the new patch because everything was fine before that i had no problems with those fields

The only thing I've noticed as a result of poor maintenance is slower harvesting. I harvested a field of potatos (mission, 30 acres) and quickly hit 4 mph due to maintenance, continued on with that sold close to 59k liters of surplus potatoes.

Harvest yield, to my knowledge, is only effected by fertilizing, weeding, plowing, and spreading lime.

100% sure. I am talking about the header either. The header only affects the speed, the harvester is what affects quantity.

The header maintenance affects speed of harvest, the harvester maintenence affects quantity of harvest.
