Can't plant seeds
« on: November 02, 2014, 05:30:48 am »

I got a goblin siege. But then I noticed all farm plots were abandoned. I checked teh job list and found no "plant seed" job.
I thought it was a side effect of siege. But after the siege was broken, the dwarves still wouldn't touch the farm plots.

I tried building new farm plots but it didn't work either.

Ideas?

Are the seeds forbidden? Are the farmers in burrows outside the farm plots? Do you even have seeds?

Well the seeds are not forbidden I just double checked.
No one is inside burrows currently. I did used burrows during the siege, but I only used them to hold those Urist McSuicides from cleaning the traps.

Have you tried rebuilding the farm plots and the seeds stockpile? In my fort the smithies didn't work for some reason and I just rebuild the entire production line including stockpiles. Worked fine after that.

Yeah, I rebuilt the farm plots. It seems I have fixed the problem. I also tried rebuiding the stock pile but it didn't work.
Although, I don't know if it was the rebuilding that made it work, or it was the season changing triggered the fix.

Oh hey, was the plant name shown in RED? That's a known bug that happens in late winter.

No, actually everything showed white and it was spring.

Is it early, mid or late spring? If its late spring, your farmers could be not planting the crops. I don't really know, haven't played vanilla fort mode in a long time, just winging it on existing knowledge.

I'm not too sure, right after I rebuilt the plots it turned summer.
Yeah, maybe you are right. Although the plant names didn't show red, for some reason.
