Grass never grows back on the soil from where a farm has been removed.

Issue description

I had 3 Farms close to a location near my settlement. As the game progressed, I needed to add more settlement, so i moved my farms to a different location. I deleted the farms that were close to my settlement and rebuild another farms at a second location.

Even after running the game for 5-6 Hrs the grass does not appear back on the location from were the farms had been removed.

Reproduction steps

  1. Place a farm on a fertile land.
  2. Remove the Farm once built.
  3. Let the game run for some time, notice that even after an hour or two, the soil never goes back to being green as it was originally. Attached screenshot of land after several hours of gameplay of removing the farm.

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this. Could you please attach a zipped save file and logs?

Thanks a lot. Do you remember how you removed that farm? Some quick remove? During upgrade? Canceled / tried again? Because we are trying to isolate the case that caused it. If you'd have a save file made during the removal, that could also help a lot.

By the way, you can fix this by constructing a farm and then deconstructing it.

I noticed this effect today that after many years the soil is still dirty. below is a save file from a while back which reproduces the error perfectly.

farm manouvre 2.save

the bottom farm is the one that I'll be moving. the save is just after the veggies are harvested.

pause farm (it should say PAUSED in red)
quick delete farm (notice it no longer says PAUSED)

now, let put game on x3 and let it rain a few times. (by jan 0066, it should have rained 3 times)

bonus bug: same save file (actually I'm much further along, but the bug should still be the same)
click on one of the farms and hover over "harvest now", and it gives an incorrect calculation:

I pressed "harvest now" to see how much it would give me and it gave me 17 instead of the normal 19-20 or the estimated 35.
I believe the bug is cause of the difficulty level not being calculated in the estimate

I did a quick remove after the harvest for potatoes was complete, i think the farm was working on producing green manure to improve soil fertility.

Did this ever get solved? I have the same issue, a dirt patch left after removing a greenhouse. I think I removed it with unity.

I have tried building a farm, then deleting the farm and not using unity, but that hasn't helped.

Cheers,
Chris.
