Can't plant seeds.....
« on: January 23, 2012, 11:07:54 am »
I have an odd problem. I just bought some whip vine seeds from the elves, and I DO have a couple plots for aboveground crops already prepared, but I can't seem to be able to plant these seeds. The option for growing whip vines does not appear on any farm plot, even through I can grow longland grass(which I also got) just fine. Ideas?

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Seems to be this bug:

Seeds can't be planted unless your fortress has made a product from that plant.  Buy some whip vines, brew them or whatever, and then you'll be able to plant their seeds.

Ah. Thanx for the info. I'll see if I can find some whip vines outside and brew them

If you don't have any luck with your herbalists, you can try to buy whip wine or whip vine flour from the elves.  That should fix you up.

It says on the wiki that whip vine needs a dry biome(although I have never experienced a difference) so try putting your plot in the mountain biome.

The dry and wet tags are not for the full biomes but instead affect whether they spawn near rivers and ponds (I believe it is something like 4 tiles distance). I don't know if it would affect farm plots though.
