what a bloody hassle.
last night, after playing my new game (farming simulator 17), i alt-tabbed out of the game and went to bed.
most games pause when you alt-tab out of them, but not this one.
so, at the time i left the game, all 3 tractors and the harvester had hired helpers working them. they get payed out of your money, and when they finish, they just sit there idle and getting payed until "dismissed", and they do not switch off the engines until you manually "dismiss" them.
this afternoon i alt-tabbed back to the game to continue playing.
so the cultivator helper finished his field, and the sowing machine had finished his field, and the harvester was also finished.
so all my machinery is out of petrol, and there is no way i can get them to the petrol station either because they are all out of gas!! !
to make matters worse, the bloody hired help was getting payed all night and i had zero money left when i went back into the game.
that's it!! i lost!!
have to start all over again, and remember to close the game when i am finished playing it for the night.
it is a glacially slow paced game, and also there are no mods available yet.
but none the less it is fun.
if anyone here played fs 15 and want's to know what's changed, then i will post a list of handy improvements in fs 17, else i will not bother.
