Glitch or Artifact?

[BuildHappy]

I have seen this before, with pastures, but yesterday it showed up in a field, and it was quite large. it does not happen everywhere, but only in certain areas of a map. I've never been able to see any pattern to where or when they appear, or similarities in conditions when they appeared. 




This happen in anyone else's game? Anyone know why, or better yet how to prevent/undo them?

Oh, I had that same pattern happen, once, in the red X marks in a mass cleared area, using the terraform, flatten terrain, where the Bannies have cleared all the resources.

Ok, I placed some more fields on a different map seed number. I paid more attention, and I am sure that the field was placed in an area where no clearing, flattening, or other Xs had been used before putting it down. and nothing had been built in the area before. it was nice pristine land, early in the game (spring of year 2, when i had fewer than 40 folks).




builders worked normally to make it, and it was in a nice central location. as one large field, it had the smears. when i deleted it and re-drew it huge, the smears were there again, in the same spots. but when i deleted it again, and drew several small fields on the same area, the smeary glitches were not there!




and to further compound my mystery, another equally large field, built right next to the glitchy one, also on land that had not been cleared or flattened, also made normally by builders, had not a single smear...




i continue to be a bit baffled.   [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/blink.png[/img]/emoticons/blink@2x.png 2x" title="O.o" width="20" />

This is most probably not a Banished issue... check your graphic drivers for possible updates. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />

I've had this happen a few times when making a crop field or pasture but seldom more than once on a map but not recently.  You could try a new map or you could cover the field using the ground cover squares found in the ghost decorations.  (I planted a ghost tree in a spot that hid the weird ground.)
