Version 1.2.7.0 Updates

NPC Field Work

• Real base-game AI tillage: NPC tractors and implements perform genuine field-work jobs, tilling the ground.
• Full job-to-field matching: NPCs are assigned roles and matching equipment based on the field's needs, such as tilling, sowing, or harvesting.
• Crop safety: NPCs check the field's crop and growth state to ensure no harm to growing crops.
• Fallbacks: If the game AI fails, NPCs use base-game pathfinding to maintain activity without errors.

On-Demand Equipment

• Equipment spawns at the field edge on demand and despawns when work stops, preventing stale gear.
• Loading cancellations prevent unnecessary spawning and deletion of equipment.

Fixes

• Fixed VehicleCharacter crash due to argument order.
• Resolved vehicle deletion issues leaving stranded units.
• Fixed map-marker overlay render flood.
• Corrected harvester header attachment issues.
• Silenced log spam related to spectator farm costs.
