I made a macro that generates a field texture; it can even be exported for WorldPainter.
There are two cool things about this macro in addition to the field’s shape:
The paths in the fields follow the slope of the terrain.
The forests encompass the fields without cutting through them.

That is really cool! Already thinking of how you created those bands, I already have some ideas but not sure if I’m going in the right direction ahahahaha.
Is it a simple slope select to control where the farms are placed? Or is it a bit more advanced, for example, ditching a farm if at some point it reaches a slope > X° or something.
To determine where the fields are located, it’s a simple selection of “height” filtered with a slope selection. And I use a two-node expansion, one at -10 and one at +10, which creates a filter.
And for the strips in the ground that orient themselves relative to the terrain, I use the “surface angle” map. This map assigns a gray value to each pixel based on its orientation relative to the sun. I just need to use a “select height” to determine which area I want.
