Crop Rotation

Description
[BETA]

Changes farms to require more careful management of the soil. Rather than "quality" that goes either up or down (or not at all) this mod tracks Nitrogen and Phosphorus levels in the soil, with different crops having different ideal concentrations as well as pulling or fixing one or both nutrients. Each crop is loosely based on its real-world counterpart, although units are entirely arbitrary.

Stable crop rotations:
- Fertilize (N), Fruit Trees, Fruit trees
- Cover Crops, Soybeans, (Giant) Corn
- Fertilize (P), Alfalfa, (Giant) Wheat

Miracles do happen, for example, I dug out my Minecraft mod code a couple weeks ago and spent some time on that.

But this mod here is kinda low priority.

Is there still a ghost of a chance of this getting updated some day?
Please?

Almost a year later and there are still no working crop rotation mods.

## Attention ##
I have very little time I can devote to my Surviving Mars mods and the game keeps changing and updating faster than I have time to research what's going on.

This mod in particular essentially needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. :(

I took a look at things back in July and was able to determine that all of my code no longer hooks into the right places in dozens of spots and while I was able to resolve querying the available crops and setting up the custom data, that's as far as I got.

I ... just don't have the available free time to work on this. I'm truly sorry.

can you update?

thx. maybe you could also enlighten me / look at "crop failure" event. it seems to me to be kind of happening unexpectedly. if there are problems during a farm cycle like missing some water, work force, ... you should just always see the to be expected yield changing and decline but it shouldn't just jump to zero / crop failure.

Something probably broke the mod again. I didn't actually check that it was working when I republished it with the updated metadata format. Thanks for the report, I'll try and investigate soon.

i disabled all other mods and tested this mod alone in a new game, it is currently broken.

sounds nice. i started a new game with this. now i am ready to place a farm and it looks like this: https://ibb.co/VV2TYxb
then i disabled the mod and loaded the game. now the crops are back selectable, but rest of UI panel is stlll screwed and i cant click on workers in the panel, it just closes the panel: https://ibb.co/vmQJdTt

Casey: I'm not sure where you're getting a 9-rotation from.
