Random Despawning crops (Update: Not a bug).

[shaw357]

I've got potatos, corn, and pyschoid leaves all despawning one by one at random during the growing season. Temp is 21C, no blights, none of the plants survive to maturity, no fires, no obvious source causing the plants to die, they just randomly despawn every few seconds. Is this a bug or are my mods (None of which have to do with farming) causing them to despawn?

Is there a poison ship part on the map anywhere? Or any other map conditions present (eg. volcanic winter?). As "crops mysteriously dying" has probably been the most common false bug report over the years, with the aforementioned reasons almost always being the (overlooked) cause of it.

If you are sure that it's none of the above (or similar), then can you please post your log file (as an attachment) along with your list of mods. Details on where to find the log file can be found in the following thread. https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=513.0

(although if it is none of the above then it's almost certainly a mod bug. Mainly because if there was a bug in the vanilla A17b game that caused crops to die for no reason, then I'm certain it would have been reported a hundred fold by now given how long A17b has been out. And since that hasn't happened, it's logical that this is either a mod bug or something the user is overlooking).

You know what, you are absolutely right. I completely forgot that there was a poison ship on the map, I assumed it was far enough away that I could ignore it.

Yeah, forgetting about a poison ship on the map that the player has left "for a future time" to deal with is something that's easily done. As all the previous reports and threads about "crops mysteriously dying" will testify to. So you're far from alone in this regard.

Anyway, it's good that the issue was such a simple one (rather than some tough to track down mod bug). I'll close this thread now seeing as it's not a bug. Thanks for taking to time to report it though all the same.
