Farm return down

Hi there…

Has anyone noticed their return of seeds down in farming? I used to have pretty balanced farms where I would get almost exactly back what I needed to replant everything or have one or two seeds left over. Now I’m noticing that I will be many seeds down and not have enough.

I was just wondering if others have seen this that farm regularly? I’m wondering if is a server lag or some other issue because they don’t do as much maintenance as before.

I haven’t farmed for a while so haven’t noticed. I know it’s a silly question, but have you made sure you’re using the correct character sheet? I have almost started harvesting in the wrong sheet before.

Yeah I had an alt specific for this… so pretty sure I’m good there.

Sometimes I used to be down 1 or 2 but I’m like at times down 5 or more which really shouldn’t happen. That is why I was wondering for those "semi-regular’ farmers at least.

I have been farming allot of combustion and had 100%seed on all of them. I had a problem a while back where I let some light through a chiselled block and it threw off some of my crops. Not sure if it effected seed yield.

I would recommend running through your crops and looking for changes in the seed yield.

I did some harvesting a few times the last couple days and it seems to work as it always has. No noticeable change.

# Define the initial yield
yield_value = 100  # Example initial yield value

# Farming status
farming = True  # Change to False to see the yield remain the same

# Player's name
player_name = "Xaldafax"

# Check farming status and player name to adjust yield
if farming and player_name == "Xaldafax":
    # Reduce the yield by a certain percentage, for example, 30%
    yield_value *= 0.7
    print(f"Farming is active for {player_name}. Yield has been reduced.")
else:
    print(f"No reduction in yield for {player_name}.")

# Output the current yield for the player
print(f"Current yield for {player_name}: {yield_value}")

Can you explain a bit more on what you are trying to do here?

Are you thinking that even though the yield says X crop Y seeds on the display that it is giving less to me and this will help show that?

Thanks for checking…

I had let the crops sit for a VERY long time and I wonder if it was just some weird thing. I’ll have to do more testing over the next week or so to see if I went back to good numbers or not.

Yeah that was the first thing I did…

Like one area is a small crop area that 100% would return seeds and I was one short. But, like I said those had sat for months without use. I’ll try a few more times to see if anything continues or it is goes back to the way it was.

When there is one or two short, for me this is from missing a seed when planting out, took a while before i got the right amount of seeds on my big farms, now I occasionally am left with one and have to search where to put it. That’s why i’m changing all my kindling deco gravel to dark colours.

I then made the mistake of using black gleam to match the black gravel and had to add lights for grow time to be right.

A coders rough attempt at being funny.

He found it in the boundless code, it says if your name is Xaldafax and your farming the game reduces your yield. Maybe you upset @james

hah… thanks for finding that code… When I spent all that money to get Oortian level James had assured me I’d get a bonus farming… Now I see it was a negative bonus… lol.

hehe.

so I have a feeling because my farm sat for so long without use that somehow it messed up that first time using it. Things seem basically back to normal. So who knows… thanks again for those that checked.

You just had to bring that up :sob::sob::sob::sob:

Yea I think your right think the farming is off I just harvested my kindling farm for max seed and came out even on the amount planted before :sob::sob::sob: :cookie:

So what is the percentage you should get?

I just did my juicy starberry and was short again. I have to really check the percentages because I do know it should be a bit off… I wonder if I lagged and didn’t notice that… it could be that or some server tick issue.

I’m just Jelly :joy::joy:

I was hoping to fill my new farm up by farming max seed for a bit but it’s hard when you break even :sob::sob::sob::sob:

Hiya, as farmings pretty much all I do I can say it does vary a little like was mentioned gaps etc and yes also change of build can change ratio as well as right character.
Hit a weird one where the very end of the build 3 stories won’t allow growing still can’t further it out :see_no_evil:
I’d double check ya build make sure not changed anything.

Also make sure at least a row or two is 101% or more in seed bonus it’ll make such a difference overtime.
