Early Access Update v0.9.6: Field Work Package

As mentioned last week, here’s the little surprise package, in addition to multiple bug fixes and optimizations as part of v0.9.5 (Tombstone) recovery.

In this update we’re releasing an eight-part field work package with Lemken machines. This includes power harrows, seedbed combinations as well as grain and maize drill machines. It’s completed by a fertilizer tank and a subsoil loosener. The new machinery allows farmers with smaller operations to work more precisely, as we’ve included a handful of 3m (9 ft 10”) machines. There are also 6m (19 ft 8”) variants of the same model series included, though, for the larger fields.

You’ll find a full overview in the change log.

NEW

• Lemken Azurit 9/4.75 (3m maize seed drill machine)
• Lemken Azurit 9/8.75 (6m maize seed drill machine, foldable)
• Lemken Gemini 7/1000 (Front liquid fertilizer tank)
• Lemken Korund 8/600 (6m seedbed combination)
• Lemken Labrador 160 (2m subsoil loosener)
• Lemken Saphir 7/300-DS 125 (3m grain seed drill machine)
• Lemken Zirkon 8/300 (3m power harrow)
• Lemken Zirkon 12/600 K (6m power harrow, foldable)

BUG FIX

• Shop images can be generated again and are no longer just gray
• NPCs in the village no longer have the wrong shading. General Shading problems with scaled models fixed
• Field information panels for swath are displayed again in front of the swath
• Oily graphics on Linux systems was fixed
• Fixed crash when selecting a dropdown during loading/unloading and leaving the trigger
• Fixed crash when trying to load without selecting the fill type first
• The "Washing" window is no longer visible after loading a savegame
• The factions in the profile menu are now translated
• Crash while loading the MixKing at the farm storage fixed
• Fixed wrong spawn location when account balance is less than the vehicle rental price
• The fence gate at the pasture closes again
• Fixed missing translation strings in Claas Quadrant
• Vehicle Shop: translated descriptions are displayed again
• Joint script methods now always return the correct rotation angle between -180° and 180°
• Pasture fence collision fixed: the cattle should not be able to escape now
• Fixed missing NPC models: no more yellow boxes running around the village
• Shader editor: Parameter dropdown in constants can be selected again

CHANGE

• Traffic vehicles now execute less code
• Code optimized for machines (dirt, tire tracks)
• Certain console commands now have an additional output in the debug.log (listMachineStates, listPlayerAttributes, listGroundAttributes, listFruitAttributes)
• Removed anti-aliasing option from settings menu as MSAA 4x is used, with a custom resolve shader for better quality
• The player character has received new textures

NOTE

• The new machines have no sounds yet
• Just like the Hammer seed units, the Saphir 7 also requires a front attachment machine: the Lemken Zirkon 8/300 power harrow. The Azurits can be attached directly to the tractor's three-point linkage.
• The Lemken Gemini front tank can currently only be used for transport, not as an additional tank with the Dammann Land-Cruiser sprayer
