« on: April 22, 2014, 02:21:50 pm »

So, i made a plot with plump helmets and the farmer's planted the seeds, but it's a year over now and they are still seeds bruied in the dirt,no visuable growth yet.

how long do they take to grow in masterwork?

That's a part of the harder farming feature, they're supposed to take a year but I've had some crops take a year and a season.  It really makes fertilization with potash necessary lol

Running a warlock fortress by chance?  If so, restrict your fields to keep your undead from trashing everything.

Could be, tantrums can break stuff too.  Though I've only personally seen farms get trashed when playing 'locks.

if it was getting trashed, the farm plot would disappear. From what he is discribing, it just has not grown yet. Give it more time. Remember, your dwarves are slow little bastards. They probably took forever to get the seeds planted in the 1st place.

Yeah you probably want to force him to plant them quickly if you havent by removing every single other job he has until he has planted them asap. Dont trust them to do anything right unless they have no other option.
