Kernels don't grow at high heights

That’s exactly what I think

Maybe RNG should be removed from fuel farming?

23

you can find posts in the forum (by myself!) describing why RNG is not a design choice for crop farming as such, but more a necessary requirement to achieve growth-times longer than a few minutes without using a ridiculous amount of data.

Thanks @lucadeltodecso for coming and checking it. If there is anything I can do to help you just tell me.

Can confirm locally that having blocks “only” at the top of the world in a single layer isnt behaving correctly server-side for lighting.

Dropping the ceiling 1 block down would work-around issues until this can be fixed/deployed.

26

Thanks I’ll try this fix.

27

Do I need to drop the entire ceilling or just the blocks on top of the plants would be enough ?

the ceiling, its the ceiling which is “leaking” sunlight through on the server into your entire room (its as though you room is in full sunlight on the server)

ok I get it.

I believe I’ve found the issue and does fix the issue and make sense… but needs more testing (Its been quite a long time since touching this logic, and its rather complex…)

I wouldn’t necessarigly expect it to get released very shortly though, as it requires triggering a re-sync of the server lighting state which isnt cheap, so if you are happy I’d go ahead with changing the ceiling still.

Lava helps them grow faster along with using high-octane fertilizer

32

I’m ok changing the ceilling. Thanks!

33

It’ solved. Dropped ceiling one block and minutes later there were already 5 or 6 growing.

Thanks @lucadeltodecso

??
did I learn wrong that lava affects yield and not growth speed (fertilizer are for that; all “supporting” blocks for all crops increase/decrease yield)

It doesn’t say it but all my combustion and kindling mass seems to grow quicker next to lava
