Farming question - No seeds available
« on: May 13, 2010, 07:47:30 pm »

I built a few underground farm plots on clay loam, and now they only give me the message "No seeds available."  I have confirmed that the tiles are "Inside Dark Subterranean", and that I do indeed have seeds (plump helmets, cave wheat, etc).  I have not mudded the tiles, but I thought that that bug had been correct.  What am I doing wrong here?

The farming bug is still very much in effect, learn the ease of irrigation or doom thine dwarves to starve.

Well I think the easiest way to solve the problem is to find a small lake (they are usually next to rivers) and fill your farm room with ALL the water from this small lake. Your room should not be to small so water level in this room would be 1 or 2 on all the tiles. After some time you will be able to plant there

Your room should not be to small so water level in this room would be 1 or 2 spread all over the tiles. After some time you will be able to plant there

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

I watered my plots, and now I can grow things there.  Thanks guys.  Previously I couldn't even build the plot if it wasn't muddy.
