Crop Density and Row farming (Maize/Corn)

[nshl09]

Hello, 

I'm trying to figure out if I can adjust rows and columns with different values through xml. I'm particularly working on maize crop for a custom map. I tried manipulating values inside maize.xml from the main game folder but as soon as I change the values in numBlocksPerUnit it changes the spacing between crops equally. I want wider columns and denser rows as per the actual farm. I also tried inserting a separate script for rowSpacing and columnSpacing but it would not reflect in the game. After lot of research on maize/corn crop and how it is planted in the real world, I feel the farming simulator is planting in the wrong way with equal spacing. I also tried planting corn using the planter equipment, but the corn will be planted as per the values in the xml. Can anyone help me out here?

Here is an article in the UK Farmers Weekly on maize it gives the row distance and seed drilling distance that maize is normally planted.

I read through the article. Thanks for the info it was pretty helpful, but it doesn't solve my query regarding the crop density and row farming. Can you help?

What you are wanting to do are set by numbers. I will have to look but if I remember correctly those numbers use to be set in the map i3d. I’ll try to look at the xml because I know they’ve been trying to put more attributes there.  What version of farming simulator are your editing?
