Rotterham Posted May 28 Report Posted May 28 (edited) So me and my friends built a base in the first year. We've successfully survived winter and are now looking forward to expand our base. Our base is located in a "Rainfall in the area: Common". However during my travels I discovered a land with "Almost all the time" rainfall. It is located roughly 1000 blocks away from the base though. As the main farmer of the group, it would be nice if I was not tending to the crops all the time watering them. There is a water system of rivers and small lakes that I would like to connect so I can travel between the base and farmlands by ship afterwards. The question then is... Will the crops grow hundreds of blocks away while no one is near them? Does the game just calculate the progress of growing or does the process freeze? Edited May 28 by Rotterham
BurgerDaddy Posted May 28 Report Posted May 28 I’m not 100%, but my experience leads me to believe that they do still progress. In single player I had a situation where I moved to a new base, and was going back to check on the remaining crops at the old base, they seemed to grow at the normal rate. 1

Does the game just calculate the progress of growing or does the process freeze? The game keeps track of the last state in chunks which are not rendered and fast-forwards to the current time when you visit the area again, so your crops should grow perfectly fine. If they don't, that would qualify as a bug to be fixed. 2 1
Maelstrom Posted May 28 Report Posted May 28 Not only should. They DO! I had a farm over 10,000 blocks from my main home. Planted 4 stacks of flax, came back in the dead of winter to harvest an absolutely unholy amount of flax grain and fibers. 2
