I built two fields of 5X12 and one of 6X12.
The first 5X12 was built very well but the second shrunk after construction: it is only 4X10! I tried to enlarge it, without result. I destroyed it then rebuilt it and it shrunk again. Same with the 6X12, it is only 6X10 and impossible to change that.
I closed the game, reloaded the save. No change.
I checked the output, it matches the reduced size of the field.
I put the path builder tool to show the reduced size. Below the minimum allowed.
try flattening the ground around the farms. Additionally, it’s possible to block parts of the field being built if you complete a building, road, or wall that obstructs a field that’s still being built. The field will complete, but with reduced size
I know, in the beginning I was building the fields before the walls and I found that the fields shrink when the walls are built. I build now the walls then the fields.
I will try to flatten tomorrow but I have already built fields in steeper areas without this problem. But you never know!
I had that happen once but it fixed itself when i destroyed it and rebuilt. I think the problem was because I was also building a fence alongside it at the same time and the constructions interfered, but really I do not know.
Do you have a save of the game with where this problem happens that you could upload to google drive or similar and post a link so the game’s developers can access it to use to help fix the problem?
Yes, I have a backup. But I have few questions:
Where is the backup located?
Does the name of the save file have the name of the map?
Where should I put the link?
You’ll find them in there. The saves are the name of your towns.
Zip the town folder up and then upload it to google drive or similar. You can then click on the folder there to get a link to share. Paste that here so the developers can access it.
Hum… To send the right file I had to load the city and I found that I had launched the 3rd or 4th attempt. So I let the work finish only to find that this time the field did not shrink. Yet when I reported the problem I had quit the map and closed FF. Then restarted without that solving the problem.
Hope this helps you anyway.
I encountered this before as well. I believe 1x1 wasnt build , as there was a single peasant building something or walking on the farm while it was completed being build (or something in that manner).
Its weird to have my 12x12 farm, with one unit of 1x1 square empty
When I load @7enpier’s save and finish construction, the 5x12 field completes as expected. That said, this is on our radar as there have been a few reports of similar issues (often related to fences, seemingly), so we are certainly interested in any way that these steps can be reproduced if anyone is aware of a way to do so.
