Testing 224: Farming!

It appears the liquids have different viscosity values assigned to them. Close to what you would expect in real life.

I was adding all 4 liquids to a build with 4 reservoirs of the same size, and the structure(not shown) was not able to hold all 4, in a symmetrical way (liquid was poured waterfall-style from above)…so I had to reconfigure the reservoirs.

Here is another test that I used to confirm(I used one block of each liquid):

On live, water flows 6m and lava only 4m.

majorvex · 2019-06-16T22:03:29.021Z

Oddly enough, the lava was the worst offender…spilling out everywhere. The water & oil acted as I expected & it worked well. Perhaps the lava has more of a spreading factor?

Would you have the time to post the “seeds” and which blocks to “plant” them in?
My apologies if I missed this info, couldn’t find it.

THANKS!

Edited for spelling

Sry if this has been asked already. Will the tier of the planet effect the drop rate on farm crops?

Yield rates of farmed crops are not affected by world level.

Thanks for the quick answer!

Thanks for the photos!

If a seed reads
Sown in: Any rock, gravel

But also reads
Dislikes: sunlight
Sown in: Any rock

I’m guessing that means even though it can be found in rock, it wont grow in rock. Or am I off.

I noticed in your video where the combustion fraction kernel (i think) werent growing underground, is it because they were in rock and not in gravel? I could be wrong, couldnt remember where the video was to check

james:

Drop rates of wild crop (and other surface resources) are affected by world level.

Is this a change, or a misunderstanding? What surface resources do you mean?

It seems firmly established that the drop rates of, for instance, a desert sword or basic boulder, etc…are not affected by world level.

If you mean the block drops, I apologize, but definitely want to clarify as I don’t usually see those referred to as surface resources.

Thanks.

majorvex · 2019-06-17T18:50:19.691Z

Those are mainly the fuel plants that like to be grown underground on rocks.

Yes, I did not place some of the seeds correctly. I have since planted some more & will make a new video. I did things in haste the 1st time, & over-looked some of the info.

Kelmat · 2019-06-17T18:54:41.119Z

OMG, awesome. Thanks!

Venom · 2019-06-17T18:56:30.824Z

Ah ok, im trying to gather as much info as possible since im ps4 and trying to build my farm in live . The photos and vids are very useful tho, keep em comin!

I think these are tooltips are currently little bit confusing when there is missing Sown In information under Likes on certain seeds. Still great information available to players which is great!

Goo, missing has it only in under Dislike so it doesn't like to be planted on rocks

Starberry has it under Likes.

Yep - you’re correct. Drop rates for surface resources don’t change on world level.

(I was thinking about a different set of data which determines how the surface resources are generated into the worlds - which does vary based on level. I’ve edited by response to not confuse people.)

Thanks!

The fuel seeds are planted on any rock but need ancient corruption and gravel nearby and dislike sunlight but like gleam light.

They also like Lava nearby. I have found it is easier to grow them in Gravel so that counts as near

GreyArt247 · 2019-06-17T19:15:26.985Z

Ah yes the lava, I knew I forgot something
