Struggling with Field Borders in FS25? Why Can’t My Helper Find the Field in Farming Simulator 25? Here’s How to Solve It!

Your helper is acting clueless, staring at the field like it doesn’t exist? I’ve been there. After tweaking the field shape with plowing, my helper refused to work. Even Courseplay threw its hands up. Turns out, the problem lies in the field border. Let’s fix this step by step.

How to Fix Helper Can't Find Field in Farming Simulator 25

Quick Tips Before Starting

  • Multiplayer note: This guide focuses on single-player but might work for multiplayer too.
  • If the issue just happened and you haven’t autosaved, close the game without saving and restart.

If that’s not an option, here’s what to do:

Step-by-Step to Fix Helper Can’t Find Field in Farming Simulator 25

Step 1: The Simple Restart

  1. Save your game.
  2. Quit and reload Farming Simulator 25.
  3. Check if the helper recognizes the field now.

If not, move to Step 2.

Step 2: Adjusting Field Borders

Option 1: Quick Fix

  1. Open the build menu.
  2. Select a texture tool and draw along the edges of your field (make it slightly larger or smaller).
  3. Test if the helper works now.

If this doesn’t work, try Option 2 for a more detailed approach.

Option 2: Back Up and Refine

  1. Navigate to %Username%\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025. Create a Backup for savegame folder.
  2. Copy your savegame folder (e.g., savegame1) and rename it (e.g., backup_savegame1).
  3. Find an empty save slot (folders with only steam_autocloud.vdf).
  4. Copy your savegame into this slot and rename it accordingly (e.g., savegame2).
  5. Load into the copied savegame (Slot-2). Turn off autosave in settings.
  6. Enter the build menu, choose a texture, and use a large pencil size to redraw one side of the field’s edge. Test if the helper works after each redraw.

  7. If redrawing one side doesn’t work, repeat for other sides until the helper detects the field.
  8. To pinpoint specific problem spots, divide edges into smaller segments and redraw incrementally. To pinpoint specific problem spots, divide edges into smaller segments and redraw incrementally.
