TitansMum Posted May 15 Report Posted May 15 I am replanting some fields I used two in game years ago with crops that should definitely be within the approved temperatures. Other fields are working completely the same. Is there some mechanics change I am not aware of? The one difference is that ones failing are raised planting areas that I placed the dirt/farmland in and the other is tilled in situ soil surrounded by a ditch. Is there a change to how placed dirt supports crops? About half my flax and 80% of my rye failed in the placed fields. Wondering if others have seen this. TIA!

Is there a change to how placed dirt supports crops? To my knowledge, there's been no such change, though I would check to be sure that all the farmland is being properly irrigated. If it's not irrigated, then crops will still grow, but at a slower rate due to rainfall being a little fickle. The only other thing I can think of, is that there was a bugfix related to soil nutrients; if I'm recalling correctly, they weren't draining enough before and causing crops to grow faster than intended. That could be why crops are dying now--they're being planted too late to mature before the killing frost hits.
TitansMum Posted May 15 Author Report Posted May 15 They are definitely irrigated and I am still well before a frost so it is not either of those, but it may be something unintended happened with the nutrients/growth rate. I may test it out in creative.Thank you for that lead.
cjameshuff Posted May 15 Report Posted May 15 Is this in a greenhouse? I think there are some corner cases with cropland nutrient regeneration that might not be working right, where you can have plants consuming nutrients that aren't regenerating. I had an odd situation where a field ended up mostly and equally depleted in two nutrients after a failed crop at the end of the year.
TitansMum Posted May 15 Author Report Posted May 15 It is not in a greenhouse, out in the open. I think I will just abandon that field for now, assume something is off and try again next patch. If I had better information I would submit a bug but what I have is rather vague.
coolAlias Posted May 16 Report Posted May 16 You could try breaking all the top soil and replacing it. Could be the old tilled blocks didn't convert properly for some reason.
