    [TnFC] Crops issue - not an issue after all ;)

    I had a strange thing happen with my crops twice already.

    I have my town in the southern hemisphere (WhiteCastle, spawn: 15734, 8536). 8356 means the temperatures are rather high. AFAIR the average is about 19 degrees.

    A few days ago I planted some crops in Spring (that would be in September here) and I waited a whole night before doing so, constantly checking the temperature and it never went below 15 degrees.

    I logged into the server the next day, it was Autumn, 19 degrees and all my crops were dead (like from freezing).

    (Now, as full year, 96 days, takes at least 32 real-time hours to pass, that couldn't have been next Autumn).

    Okay, I figured it a freak occurrence and let it go. Or maybe the config option on planted crops dying of old age on plots was on?

    But yesterday it was again Spring (again, warm) and I planted all my crops.

    I logged this morning just for 5 minutes to pick the crops. It was Early Summer, so only 2 (certainly less than 3) months passed. All my crops except sugarcane were dead again...

    So, that leaves 3 options:

    1) The config option on planted crops dying of old age is on and everything died in less than 3 months. Seems impossible, as I had Maize there, which is described as "very slow" in the wiki.

    2) My crops died of low temperatures, but that seems impossible too, since the hardy carrot died and the fragile sugarcane did not...

    3) There is a bug in T(n)FC.

    Before I assume point 3 and post an issue for Bunsan (I cannot do it on TFC forums because it's modified copy of TFC) I want to make sure if anybody else has any problems with crops (all you living in the northern hemisphere) and what the settings on the server are.

    Yes, winter in June, late winter in July, early spring in August and Spring in September. Exactly what I wrote

    Code:
    # Set to true to enable crop death from old age. [default: true]
        B:enableCropsDie=true
    Hmm... But less than 3 months and all is dead?

    I will try to test it more. The best would be a full weekend when I'm able to play, unfortunately, next 3 weekends are out

    Crops last after maturity approx half time it takes to mature.
    The sugarcane is the slowest growing crop from all.
    It is unclear about maturity time. The server has growth multiplier x1.2, so they should grow faster.
    Kitty stated that fertilized wheat takes 2 months to mature on default (x1) server.

    I've been growing crops just fine. Move your farm closer to the equator.

    I've been dealing with the crops issue as well, and it's doesn't seem to be temp or location thing. ( It rarely actually snows on my garden and the crops die long before winter sets in)
    It's the crops growing up, growing old, and dying while you are offline. You pretty much need to harvest them within half an hour or them maturing or they lay down again.
    I've gotten to where if I won't be on long enough for a full grow cycle I don't bother to plant because If you arn't there when they mature it's wasted effort.
    It's just a tnfc thing. I mean. I guess J could consider tinkering with the 'grows old and dies' setting but if he doesn't I won't be bothered about it. It's just another challenge to plan ahead and work around.
