Trying My Hand at Something New

[Blocklies]

If there’s no vill on it then it’s not being used now and if it is then the farming vill will go to another unclaimed farm or go idle.

[BrokenTorpedo]

there’s not an easier way, but you really don’t need one,

since, well,
vils uh find a way.

Usually I just ask the farm nicely.

But another option is to see if there is a farmer on the farm.

Or attached, if you will.

If you double click a farm it will select all farms on screen.

Then go to the f4 eco menu and it will tell you how many farms you have.

Count up all your farms and subtract the number of villiagers and that will tell you how many unoccupied farms you have.

Spotting the emties is tricky, but like others have said, just add new villiagers and they will distribute themselves after a bit.

Is there any mod for this?

I agree that sometimes it’s hard to notice that a farm or two is not being used, especially since farmers spend time dropping off food and sometimes a farm appears unassigned.

Well I don’t really move my farmers to other jobs other then farm and if I do its probably to build a house, but I chain task the vill back to he’s farm so I really never had this problem

[Upper-Preparation-76]

Not sure if there is a mod for this.

In base game you just have to watch the farm for a sec to see if there’s a vil walking around on it gathering.

Only one vil can gather from each farm at a time.

For what it’s worth, if you have farms sitting idle and a villager nearby finishes a farm, before they go to reseed they will first seek out an available farm to work on, so this problem more or less solves itself over time.

But I understand why you’re asking, it can be tough to re-task your vils to all the idle farms if you accidentally double click your vils or if you repurpose a big group of farmers to build a castle or something like that.
