The Farming QOL update
This first "Quality of Life" update is focused on farming with a set of features to make fields management easier and more time efficient.
It notably allows to create fields of custom dimensions which also ignore map borders and river tiles.
Fields now include cosmetic fences like pastures, and reflect their productivity visually with empty tiles.
No more placing 8x8 fields one by one and headache to figure out the most efficient way to manage river banks and map borders: fields can now be placed in a single drag & drop click and will ignore invalid tiles.
You can now create fields overlapping with a river or the map borders and it will automatically fill the valid space, making full use of it.
Fields can be moved or resized, and compatible fields can be merged with the annex tool (provided the result of the merge forms a rectangle, so they must be adjacent and sharing an edge).
It is now also possible to convert fields to different resource types, saving you the hassle of destroying an recreating it and the cost in tools to do so. You also recover some of the seeds of the previous resource type.
Livestock pastures can also be converted for free between animal producing and wool producing (for the relevant animals)
Production Skill points no longer increase efficiency of farms, requiring to readjust fields for every farm every time a change is made. Instead, production skill points only boost productivity of the fields, not changing the amount of fields per farm.
Level 4 farm upgrade now boosts productivity instead of efficiency in the same way, meaning after lvl 3 the amount of fields per farm becomes constant and will no longer require re assignments.
This update contains other various minor QOL features that are detailed in the full changelogs below, including the ability to place multiple buildings at once (ground storages or houses), a new annex menu, seeing the parent building max workforce usage while placing annexes, various fixes about the Casus-belli past update, some balancing changes and more.
