Does CAM 3.0 - CAM Controller Fix Agriculture

[TheGreatDoge 14]

Hello all,

I am very excited to get back into playing again after learning about the new package manager and how it greatly simplifies the modding process. I also am trying some new things I haven't tried before over the last several years when I actively played the game as a youngster.

One of those thing is the CAM mod. I haven't used this before but wish to finally give it a try. Here is where I am torn - I love the idea of more growth stages and other re-balances, but I also love agriculture and ensuring that that feature works properly given the fact that the original vanilla agriculture system was never designed very well. It is my understanding that CAM isn't easily compatible with SPAM, so that rules out me using SPAM again as I have in the past. Then I ran into this thinking it was exactly what I needed:

...only to find out that it only improves the agriculture simulation without providing the other CAM benefits. So I ended up installing the main CAM 3.0 - CAM controller mod below:

My question is, does this main version of CAM also have the critical fixes for agriculture or are those excluded in this main CAM version for some reason? If these fixes are excluded, what are my other options for improving agriculture in the game in addition to using CAM?

And actually, while I am on the topic, what are some more mod recommendations for agriculture more generally (buildings, mods, etc.).

Edit: I now also see that this may not have been the best place to post this. Let me know if I should move/cross-post somewhere else. 

Thanks!

Agricultural fixes are universal, and you can find them here (Requires the use of DLL Mods)

The difference between CAM and CAM - SPAM is only the RCI stages, while the rest are on par with balance changes due to the RCI Stage difference. All the main bugfixes can be found in CAM Core.

I also recommend installing CAM through the SC4pac mod manager, which handles conflicts between CAM and various mods well.
