Bug ? Got far less than half my seeds back after harvesting 1000 + crops ( 100 in skill )

[iaregamertom]

EDIT - The below has now become general issues relating to 0.75 and 0.75.1 - Seed issue seems to have been patched but not tested myself


As title
I have had 100 in gardening for many hours, and obviously have 100 percent chance of getting seeds back.
I just put down 43 scarlet sprinklers and filled all squares the cover with crops ( a little over a 1000 seeds)
I used my scarlet hoe to harvest as I always have done, right clicking to gather all 24 at once, once I had finished, I noticed I had lost over half the seeds i planted, just gone. Effectively I now have enough seeds for about 18 sprinklers.......
This must be a bug, I am gutted, over 500 seeds gone ....
The sprinkler areas are surrounded by Gleam wood flooring and I have a daylight hole punched over each sprinkler.

Has anyone come across this? I now dont want to use my remaining seeds incase i lose less than half again and I sell food for upgrade money.

The only thing I can think is that the harvest caused me too much experience and as I was already 100 maybe the game hit negative and rolled me back to level one and without the 25 percent chance to get seeds, the skill itself all looks fine still

EDIT 2

I also just noticed, I didnt get all the plants from the seeds I got either!

EDIT 3

Tested 24 Bomb peppers, harvested, got 9 bomb peppers and 11 seeds back, out of 24 seeds :-(

Thanks in advance.

Experiencing the same issue while my loss is far less, it's still annoying. I think it happened right after the update a couple hours ago. I also got 100% of my seeds back before.

My gardening wasn't 100 ever though so I don't think it's an experience issue.

I was also running around the desert and wondered why my shcolar staff wasnt firing,..... it had vanished and my 1 toolbar was just empty !!! Even ran around to see if I somehow accidentally dropped it, but i had not. Two bugs in 20 minutes :(

Same, picked up a solarite chest and it vanished. Broke my boat to get it back from water, also vanished. I won't be playing till it's fixed :(

While I am sorry you have these issues, at least I know I`m not going crazy and it seems that there are issues now

Same, I'll pause my playthrough until this is fixed

Sounds like a good plan to be honest, thank you guys for the warning!

I experienced the same issue with seeds when using the Scarlet Hoe (5x5), loosing more than half of the expected seeds. However when I harvest manually, I still get a seed for every tile. So harvest slowly until it is fixed.
I had no problems with the 4x4 iron hoe giving reliable 16 seeds but I did not do any new test with 4x4.

I guess that the game has problems to handle all the items it instantly creates for the 5x5 harvest (24+ fruits plus up to 24 seeds), maybe the sprinkler also affects the performance of the item generation.

I experienced other item problems lately, too, eg I dropped my bug net to place a chest to empty my inventory and after a few seconds the bug net was gone. (Maybe my Embertail buried it or the bug net slid under the chest I placed ...)
I removed a couple of stationary drills and I lost a drill and some wires ...
Two of my Tin Boulders vanished (probably exhausted) and they took all the mined tin ore lying around with them ... only the drills were there when i checked them ...

4x4 Hoe is also bugged, got about quarter of seeds and vegetables than it should be. Please fix it soon.

Another bug.. I have some automatic spawner systems set up with conveyor belts pulling the mobs to spike traps.. fully contained inside of walled-in areas. Mobs are somehow escaping and wreaking havoc on not only each other but the placed objects and decorations around the area.

Only started after the update at around 4 AM.

Tested 5x5 hoe.. got 20 seeds from 25 plants once.. did this at the upper left corner of the field. Led me to believe that seed calculation was off 1-tile from the grid harvested.. so I retried in the middle of the field where it was surrounded on all sides by plants.. only got 19 seeds that time. Then decided to test individual harvesting punching the plants.. got all 25 seeds that time.

Also, I surrounded all those spawners by another wall about 3 spaces away from the spawner walls.. so far seems to have them contained but will keep an eye on it. Interestingly, I found a purple slime inside of a building that was nowhere near the spawners. The doors were closed so there is no logical reason it would be in there unless for some reason the doors are being ignored or the spawning tile x/y is somehow not being translated from the spawning object correctly.. perhaps spawning in a different chunk maybe?

Also, of note.. I had all 4 NPC vendors inside of 1 house prior to the update.. after the update 3 of them were wandering around outside.. would not pop back into the house even when breaking/replacing their objects. I had to break/replace their beds for it to work.

Hope this information is helpful to the devs or at least other players.

Oof, thanks for the warning, that sounds really bad. Sorry that happened to you. ><

Been feeling like another playthrough of this game, but I might wait until there are some more bug fixes first.

You might want to report this using their official bug form too, just in case:

LOL it's all good. I have done dev work on a crafting system for a game many years ago so I know how it goes lol. I tested the farming thing on heart berries so I have plenty of seeds in storage.

I did have to shut down the game though because even that extra wall surrounding those spawners failed to contain the mobs lol. Had those robots with the shields dueling one of those fire butterfly things outside of the spawner cages.. walked right into the middle of it when I went around the corner.

Am now fully convinced that the changes that were made may have made the walls invisible to the mobs when they are not within your immediate view distance... would have to test again but with a spawner setup surrounded by water 100% to see if they still wind up outside of the spawner.. which would indicate that the spawn location tile does not match the tile that gets called to spawn the mob.

I am sure others have reported these and possible other bugs.. any major change to systems can have unintended side effects.. and I am confident the dev will put in a hotfix quickly.. within a day or two if the bug(s) are identified within the code.

I'll just take a break and play some Cryofall or Necesse or World of Little Legends in the meantime ;)

I have the same Issues with mobs appearing everywhere in my base, that was 100% safe before the update. Also it seems since the update that cattle is randomly despawning. As there a no mobs anywhere near them but I have lost more then 30 cattle within in just 1 hour and 3 stops at the location.

I checked on a Galaxite Boulder I started to mine with the version before 0.7.5 Update. I am actually in the scarlet phase and was searching for the Beach when I stumbled over this boulder and decided to mine it so that I later could start with a huge amount of Galaxite. Unfortunately it is now gone and left only in total 58 ore.

Is this the infamous item bug or did they change how boulders work???
I was busy building railway tracks all over the map today and noticed that most of my boulders performed worse today, yielding only a few ore where in the past days hundreds of ore lay on the ground ...

Do you now have to build a complete automated storage system for boulders with conveyor belt and Robot Arm (requires Scarlet Bars) to prevent the ore on the ground from despawning?

Item drops and seeds should be fixed with latest update :)
