Do I see a rough hewn gate in the last screenshot?  If it is, that might be the problem.  Try replacing it with a dirt block.

It can take a while for the game to recognize a greenhouse.  You may want to implement a fix go do something for a bit and come back to see if anything changed.

That's exactly right, with dirt blocks the buff did appear eventually. Guess I'd better hurry up and get that anvil made!

Hi!

I just replaced the door of my greenhouse with a rough wooden door and the buff disappeared. So I think it's not working with that door. Maybe try to close the entry with dirt blocks to check this.

I will! I tried that before, but then I ripped down the entire greenhouse and moved it from the house (I thought maybe the higher walls were interfering with the sunlight??) but I haven't tried that with the current build.

What exactly is the issue? What are you trying to do that isn't working, how does it manifest?

Just checking this so we can determine if there is actually a problem, or just a misunderstanding of how it's supposed to work. That happens sometimes.

I am trying to make a 5x5 greenhouse. I can't get the greenhouse buff to show up on my tilled block

I don't have a chisel, so I have no chiseled blocks. I don't have a saw and I haven't looted any slabs. I dug out the entire foundation to make sure I don't have any secret hidden cavities. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Could I be below sea level???

I don't know if I could have done something to the settings, or I don't fully grasp the game mechanics, but I seem to have a cursed basement.  In daytime, it's nearly as brightly lit as outside, with no dark corners. The walls and ceiling are granite cobblestone, the floor is basalt rock. The ceiling is between 2 and 5 blocks high. I made a small 2 wide, 5 long, 2 high room, blocked it off from the rest of the basement, and it was still lit up like a field. Even at night, it seems much better lit than it should be. I'm new to the game, but I've played a few other worlds and never encountered this before. Is this a bug, or have could I have done some esoteric thing when setting up the game to cause this?
