npc farming
Right now,it would be very helpful IF we could pick what our farmers plant.Some crops are so stingy in yield,they are simply not worth the planting space.

Then we have the issue of seeds.If we have the farmers pick the crops,they tend to pick before the seed stage,which means no seed income from farming.This tied with the above issue,means farms end up with mostly low yield slow growth crops,which pretty much make farming near useless.

Then theres the work sharing issue.5 farmers (or even 2) will try to do the exact farm action at almost the exact time.This not only creates a lot of stutter and lag,it also makes more then one farmer almost useless.

To sum up:
*Be nice if we could tell our farmers what to plant
*Be nice if they picked the crops at the seed stage,and stored the seeds they get away .
*Be nice if they knew not to try and do a farm action another farmer was doing,and skipped ahead by like 3 actions.

Is there any way a person could alter the mod so that farmer only planted cabbage ?

I thought about this myself. Did you try defining a farming area and then planting the stuff yourself and letting the farmers do the rest?

Yes,as much as you can.
*I defined the farming area,you have to otherwise the farmer wont work as he doesnt know where...

*You can only plant the stuff if you have enough seeds,which run out very fast on a no loot respawn setting.And theres also a bug where the plants dont reach seed stage,havent figured out the cuase yet.

The npcs farmer autogenerate seeds for their own use.So they will always have seeds for planting,i will however run out constantly as noted.

there is a work around i do once in a while,i follow the npc doing the planting and cancel any crop i dont want,the makes the farmer plant that spot again.i do this til i get the crop i want in that spot,BUT it can take over 20 tries :( ,per planting.

*once your set,and give the order the farmer goes to work.Make sure you only give one farmer the order,otherwise they step on each other and cause big lag.

Well thanks for your summary, learned a lot today. I will test a bit myself. I wish I had more time for PZ.

Currently I am a bit disappointed as I get lag spikes while testing after driving around for ten minutes with a car with a couple of mods, mainly HC and Super Survivors. I´ll let you know if I find a solution for the farming puzzle :)

Maybe Nolan finds a bit more time for adding features but it´s unlikely.
