Bug? Maybe - Rainforest died 1 day

elginr · September 12, 2020 at 2:44 AM

My son and I play on our own server. Downloaded and setup new server yesterday (September 10 2020). We log on today to play, about 80% of all rain forests are dead. The grassland areas have about 10 - 20% death of all plants. Only thing we changed on server was the size, whitelisting ourselves as admins, meteor set to 999 days and skill level rate increase. Everything else is default. Is this expected? There is zero pollution, heck, I'm still just on wood no stone yet.

I am going to back up and save the server and create a new one. I can provide more details if needed, I'm not sure what should be provided.

PS. Played on 8.0 for about 100 days straight (we set meteor to 999). We had zero issues of plant death on that server, with the exception of pollution as expected though.

Having a similar issue, set up a server, dimensions of 172 x 172, within 24 hours ALL of the desert plant life was dead, about 60% of rainforest plants (esp mushrooms) died.

2nd server, about the same. Except this time it's the grassland. Not sure why its happening on private servers but not on the public test servers, at least the I logged into for a few minutes.

Can confirm that - and maybe it's because everything is overcrowded. I mean one desert moss in a chunk = overcrowded?

im soon to release an update the the plantchanger, it has an added option for changing the max death rate of all the plants so you can make them live longer, hopefully

Having the same issue, see post in General discussion. @Kyle, this isnt the issue, i literally deleted EVERY plant in the game and it is still showing as very overcrowded.

I went in and i changed the Max Death Rate of all plants from .005 to .0025, All of the plants died in 48 hours vice 24, So i set it to .00125 and all plants died at 96 hour mark, I then set the Max death rate to .0000000001, and the plants then became absolutely immortal. I added 900000000000000000000000000000 PPM air and ground pollution and let the world spin for a bit, and my plants were still VERY overcrowded, but not dying......

So the option seems to be absolutely immortal plants, or doing some math to figure out when you want all of your plants to die.....

must be a game bug, but for in the meantime you can use the new features of the tool to set the plants to being immortal without having to do them all by hand now

It does appear better. However, my jungles have had all the plants die before this took affect. Anyone know who to respawn them without starting over? I have admin access so that's not an issue.
