A few days ago, MasterBrain Bytes proudly released theUpdate 0.2.2.0 by Cattle and Crops. This update brought its share of novelties with in particular a fouling system, and especially a tractor-mounted forage harvester (Lacotec / Claas system).
Like any good tester, I was quick to launch the game and look in the menus for a way to launch the new mission that came with this material. Yes found! I throw it… it starts badly… the worker who comes to support me in my silage is already honking to let me know that my tractor is annoying him. Yes except that I am not in it yet. Relax Max!
The rest is a disaster, the worker pushes me, does not accompany me in my task, letting the corn fall to the ground. "Don't panic, it's a bug, they'll fix it" I said to myself. I put the game aside for a few days, and make this video in the meantime:
Update 0.2.2.1 then 0.2.2.2 is coming!
The 2 updates follow each other very quickly, to such an extent that I did not have time to test the first, that the second was already available. No problem, I run the game, a big smile on my face. I start the manipulation again… Ouch… I can already hear the worker honking, it's not a good sign. I get into my tractor equipped with the forage harvester. Same scenario. No actually… it's WORSE. The game's AI is no longer competent, but physics is also playing its part. A lift-down of the cut throws the whole several hundred meters into the air. WTF!

What to think?
The thought that comes to my mind is that by seeing all these players who follow very closely the evolution of the title of MasterBrain Bytes, whether on the official forum, or on the Facebook groups, the publisher should slow down its update rate to give only "100% sure". Having an Alpha game in your hands in Early Access is a double-edged sword. It is certain that we talk a lot about Cattle And Crops, but are we talking about it today? The response is mixed. Hopefully the development team fixes these nasty bugs very quickly before damaging the reputation of a game with very high potential.
