Crops Stopped Growing Randomly

[WhiteyOnThePoon]

Hey all,

Today I was just doin' some routine farming. I had hemp growing into the bud stage and the final stage, flax growing into the final stage, and wheat growing into the final stage. Then, for some reason, a few tiles near each other from each section stopped growing. I checked the hive radii around them and everything looks fine from that respect. But it has been a few hours since the surrounding crops reached the final stages, and these few squares won't show any progress. Any thoughts? Pic below.

Visual bug, reload?

It happens.. there is some random factor when it comes to plants growing

or your beehive is too low ql

A visual bug would not stop you from harvesting a crop that's ready.

What random factor might that be. Bee taking a wrong turn.

or your beehive is too low ql

Your just kidding here I hope ... or better yet I hope your not.

Anyway ... I think your beehives had more crops than they could handle, so some crops where left behind in receiving a growth bonus.

And, no, the amount of crops inside a beehive's radius doesn't effect the growth of the crops .
Might but, as far as we all know it doesn't.

I've been farming for around 8 months now and I have never seen all my crops finish at the same time regardless of them all been planted at the same time. As for what the random factor is, I have no clue

The way I see it is that Beehives:
-1- give out growth ticks at a specific rate.
-2- give them to the nearest crops that did not have one yet. (per crop growth stage)
That also implies that (with fast growing crops),
- if the nearest crops to a beehive(single) go into the next growth stage,
-- while other crops farther away from that beehive had no growth tick/bonus yet.
--- those others will not get served until the rest (inner crops) have hit there last growth stage. (with equal spaced(time) growth stages.)
Easy to see with one beehive, but same thing applies to multiple beehives use. (just harder to predict the final outcome.)
---
That also explains why crops inside the range of a beehive don't grow up in the same way as they where planted. The beehive tick rate is the main/stronger factor here.
---
mmm, giving it some more though. Placing the faster growing crops farther away from the beehive(s) and slower crops closer, should lower the change of this happening. (or doing it the other way around should make it worse. (concept of proof))
... Would be nice to see OP's full setup, If i'm right those failed crops are all at the edges of some beehive range(s). ...
