What am I missing for harvesting Amaranth?

[silentbob212]

Up to day 9 and have full grown Amaranth, Ancient Amaranth, and Giant Amaranth.
The Examine interface tells me that it will be ready to harvest in an hour, come back later when it has become dark out and examine tells me harvest is in 12 hours... Come back in the day and have 1 hour wait, use the spell to speed growth and the timer stays the same, but the Harvest yield increases. Pull out my Flint Scythe and cut it down, I only get plant fibers.

I know that Desert Grass and the healing plant glow with golden auras when Seed/pods are ready, but what am I missing for Amaranth?

This could potentially be a bug, but it could also be that the amaranth has fallen from the plant.

What normally happens in the plant's life cycle is that the plant becomes ready for harvesting and you have a short window to pick the fruit/seeds directly off of the plant (while it has an orange and sparkly glow around it). When that window closes, the fruit/seeds fall off of the plant and you can collect them from the ground around it.

If it's not too much trouble, please can you let us know if you can find any seeds/fruits around the amaranth itself? If you can't, we'd really appreciate it if you could go to the main menu of the demo and select the bug report option to log this as a potential bug!

Bug report submitted
Came back after a week away and upon loading into came most of my Giant and regular Amaranth were ready to harvest with orange and sparkly glow, still no Ancient Amaranth as of yet. Later I came around and found a few sets of grain lying on the ground. Hopefully they are working properly

FYI @Maddie - same deal here and had the issue with several plants (Oak Trees, Giant Sunburst, Giant Dunegrass, Tainted Oak Tree, Meadow Sunburst, etc. the list goes on). I noticed if the first harvest is glitched then the plant seem irreversibly corrupted/stuck at right before the harvest occurs and I had to cut them down and replace them to get a chance at them working. . I think the "Sing for Growth" exacerbates the issues but I'm not exactly sure what was causing it. I submitted a bug report in-game about the oak trees but went on the play more and noticed the issue with more and more plants as time went on. Y'all might want to see if you can hotfix the demo as it can be a bit annoying but I did really enjoy the game.

As an aside - was it intended to open up the demo before next fest had started? It seems like Monday was the intended start time but I'm glad I got a chance to play anyway. Looking forward to the full release!

Thanks so much for flagging this issue as well and providing a bug report! We really appreciate you taking the time to do that and talk through the bug.

We'll look into it ASAP and see if there's anything we can do in terms of a hotfix.

Also glad to hear you got in to the demo early! We had to open up the demo a little early for Next Fest press coverage, which is why it was available to download on our store page before Monday 👀

Hi, i have a similar harvest problem [Harvest under 1 hour then it's 12 hours] with the two sunburst shrubs that i planted, but there weren't anything on the grounds surrounding both shrubs.

Heya. This bug was reported in our Demo build. I, personally, have played through the full release buld internally twice over (as in completed the game twice), and never had this bug, or any similar :) So I'd be confident that the bug is fixed.

Hope you and your daughter enjoys Wildmender!

Ok, thx :)

While I have not played through the game twice, I have not seen this bug in early access build.
Enjoying my time with this game
