Growing Bugs List...

[O Milkers Mine]

I'll be updating this as I find more. People can DM me if they want the angry, complainy versions. I'll try to keep this as calm and concise as possible.

• Menus, Overlays, Etc.
Summer started and the screen-filling notification to get rid of my withered spring crops would not dismiss, no matter how much I clicked and tried to open other menus. When I restarted the game, it appeared again. Third restart of the game finally got it down, though. This happens with some other things that pop up on the screen.

•Rabbits and Chickens
At some point, they just stopped eating and, therefore, stopped producing eggs and cotton. I pet them, brush them, and take them outside but they just suddenly stopped. Selling them (didn't want to) and buying new ones didn't fix it.

•Buffs
I'm not sure if this is intentional but if I pause (and therefore stop time), any buffs I have still deteriorate. So if I afk for a moment, I can come back to no more buff despite having paused. NPCs, enemies, and animals also keep walking/behaving as if I haven't paused. I could understand this happening in multiplayer, but I only play single player.

•Controller
I stopped playing with a controller because the game didn't seem to respond well/at all to it. I use a PS4 controller if that matters...

[UPDATE] (09/13)
• Watering Can
It has stopped working and won't refill. It was fine until I upgraded it to copper, in which it no longer functioned. Refilling it doesn't work. Love not farming in my farming game...

• Black Fog
I was cutting down a tree near one of those clouds of black fog. One of the logs fell in so I rubbed against the fog trying to see if I could get it. I got stuck and could not move. I remembered I had a mana potion in my inventory and tried to cast the vortex spell to free myself. Didn't work. Had to wait until I was forced into my house at midnight.

[UPDATE] (09/16)
• Miasma
I super do not love standing NOWHERE near miasma and have the bar still filling up. I wasn't even in the part of the forest that had it. I was on my farm, trying to go grab the potions I made. But passed out right before I could grab it.

[UPDATE] (09/19)
• Menu Not Working
Whenever I hit Esc and try to, say, look in my Almanac or even adjust settings... The buttons do not work. And then several minutes later, the settings menu I was trying to access will pop up. You know... Mid-combat or whatever when it is literally the most inconvenient.



I will also take this moment to suggest a few changes:
1) Allow me to sell full stacks of items. I don't see the point in growing a ton of crops if it takes me multiple days to sell them all.
2) Some quests DO NOT explain how to do them, and should. No idea how to make a pink flower or whatever the flower seller wants. Idk if she said how to, but I sure don't know. Is that the only quest I have no idea how to do? Nope.
3) NPCs wanting random gifts that change daily is kind of a hassle. Is there a way to just have a small list of things they will accept that you can give them from your inventory?
4) NPCs, enemies, and animals should not be allowed to move when I pause. Everything should stop. I get attacked in the mines if I need to pause for something and it's kind of a huge downer.
5) Double the length of the days, oh my god.

About the flowers: In animal crossing when you put flowers with different colors together, they summon another flower, the color of the new flower depends on the colors of the "related" flower. So I did the same here and it worked (not very well because I didn't have the pink flower) but I did a beige flower using white and yellow flowers. I uploaded a screenshot in my profile.

When a player consumes food everyone in the game hears the sound fx just as loud as the person eating. While working on the farm I get to hear my wife eat her food in the mines just as loudly as I would when eating it myself.

I had the issue with the summer crops notification not going away. I though it was because I left my house not realizing it would stick. Saving, going to the main menu and reloading fixed it. Only had to do it once.

You shouldn't have to clear crops if you can grow them in summer! I had cauliflower and peas (or beans or whatever they are) planted and I had to re-plant them at summer. I GOT A LETTER ABOUT NEW CROPS FOR SALE AND THERE ARE NONE!

TIME DOES NOT PAUSE IN INVENTORY, BUILDING, CRAFTING, AND STORAGE MENUS. This is a poor design choice. They should add all menus to pause. It's so annoying trying to sort out my backpack at the end of day and then I'm forced into the next day.

I've had zero issues with my PS4 controller and my pets. I'm 14 hours in and maybe a week into summer. (I do have the X-box driver thing installed for my PS4 controller - not Steam related. Sorry, I forget what it's called.)

Also, yes, the flower quest - they tell you exactly what to do. However you have to read the dialog. They should have better notes for your quest log. I couldn't figure out how to make the decorations with flowers - reddit had it luckily. They were flower decorations... not made with flowers....

If you pay attention, most the NPC friend quests are the same. If it's raining they often ask for tea. If not they ask for wood, fish dinner, gems, etc. It seems to rotate. Some ask depending on their personality. Alaric keeps asking me for bugs I don't have because he's out of ingredients. The snooty fairy guy keeps asking for gems. Sometimes polished ones. I do agree with the annoyance of trying to do it in one day. I also hate that the gifts change daily. I should be able to gift them anything.

Another thing is that NPC's will ask for something that's in an area I haven't even unlocked yet. This is just dumb.

I'm having the exact same issue with my Coop…. They will not produce anymore not matter what I do. Did yours happen to too once you got the 10 fooder hooper? I swear that's when mine bugged.


Also it would be nice when looking in storage while hovering over something it tells you what it is. Just helpful sometimes

[Abhelica]

I've also got the issue with coop animals not producing and they're not consuming the fodder in the trough either--but their status says they've eaten, even when they're still inside the coop in the morning. I'm still manually adding feed every day, so I don't think it's an auto-feeder issue. This started around mid-summer for me. I'm currently on summer 18, but the issue has been going on for a few in-game days now.

That feels obvious and I feel dumb lol. I'll try it out. Thanks. (:

It happened before I got it, so I bought the upgrade thinking it would work. Still didn't. Eventually my new chickens (rip Colonel and Nugget) started laying eggs again--

--But now I have a similar issue to this! There's 9 fiber in the feeder and the little gluttons won't be "fed" unless I manually go in to feed them. Which defeats the purpose of buying the upgraded feeder...

To get the summer crops, for all those who do not know, you have to use the blue fertilizer that has a chance to turn them into their "seasonal" variant. (It rolls the dice on the chance every night the crop is growing.) And then take a few of those into the seed maker table to get specifically that crop's seed. (ie Turnip + blue fertilizer = carrot. Carrot in seed table = three carrot seeds.)

AND ALSO fertilizer only having a "chance" of working is really... ... Weird? Nice to know I spent all the time making the fertilizer. Sure wish it wasn't potentially a waste of my already short time...

RP: pausing - Agreed. It is so frustrating. If I am playing single player, time should pause and everything should freeze when I do. Oh, where did the NPC I want to talk to go? Guess I gotta open the map and walk to the complete other side of town because that's where they went!

RE: controller - I mean, that'd make sense... If my controller had the same issue with other games on Steam. But it doesn't. I'll see if I can dig up my old Xbox controller.

RE: flowers - The quests should have notes on how to do what is asked. Or talking to the NPC should make them repeat what they said.

Also, seriously? I spent so long trying to find scrolls with crafting recipes for decorations made with flowers... I could have just bought the decorations she was selling?

RE: NPCs - I forget who but the man keeps asking me for a snail. When it's not raining and by the time night rolls around, I can't get to him fast enough since the days go at mach 10. And then, when I see him the next day, he doesn't want it...

Ah, okay- have to sell all my chickens and rabbits, buy new ones? That’ll start them back up producing? Man…. I wonder if a bug fix is coming out soon and I can avoid that but sigh, oh well

Yeah, it's kind of a shame. Especially since you can only buy one chicken/rabbit at a time, and have to lead them back to the coop. (At least the tp to you if you run ahead.)

[kdxdaxkat]

idk if you've figured it out yet, but to cross-breed flowers, you have to have three plots. So for pink, you have to have 1 red fully bloomed, an empty one, and then 1 white fully bloomed. Leave them alone for a couple of days, and it'll put pink seeds in the middle plot. :)

I did not have those cottontails when the coop bugged out. Sold the chickens, bought some cottontails and they produce ... if that is any help.
+1 on the inventory tool tips!

Fruit trees don't seem to grow any fruit anyone got this happen been 3 months in game

[Shattered Rift]

-Enemies still move and attack when you pause in dungeons.
-A lot of people, myself included, can't deliver shipments
-Not sure what's causing it, but in the second dungeon it'll randomly swap off my weapon while I'm attacking. It seems to be tied to getting the gem keys I need to progress.

[TaylerBootz]

I found these bugs so far.
Shipping requests are not working. You can't accept them after the quest to do them is finished. (Everyone is having this issue)

The summer time message stays on the screen and you have to force quit and restart. (as OP posted about)

The water crops spell didn't work till I restarted the game.

The customization mirror freezes my game and I had to force quit to restart. 

I find that enemies are floating in the second dungeon. (Also I HATE the statues. lol)

[OrganizationZero]

Often, when entering storage I get the almanac page of the first item in my backpack/inventory and have to back out of it twice to actually use the storage menu. (so it's like when you're in storage and check the almanac entry for an item).

I have to walk away from an animal and back to be able to both pet and brush them (so I can do one of them, but then have to walk away for the option to interact to return), can't just do it back to back.

When there's an exclamation mark in the almanac, I can't just open look at the marked item for the mark to go away. You have to look the marked item and then something else on the same category. If you just look at the marked item and exit the menu, it will continue to be marked.

Can't accept shipping contracts aside from the very first one that was tied to the quest. I can see the new ones and hold to select them, but it does not appear in my quest menu and is not selected if I check the shipping contract board again.

When time is "paused" both buffs and debuffs continue - buffs to the top left run out and if you are standing in miasma the miasma bar will fill. The time of buffs runs out even for the morning buff while on the end of day summary page...

If you are affected by miasma at midnight the miasma bar is still there the next morning.

Playing on PC w/controller

Also: maybe not a bug, but would be nice if the calendar opened on the current day, not day 1 of the month.

Yeah, I figured it out. (: I want to turn my farm into a pastel nightmare, decorated with pink EVERYWHERE but the days go too fast and don't pause when crafting/placing things. So perhaps, if they fix that, my dreams will come true. Thanks, though!

My peach trees stopped growing peaches and then I read the item description and I think each tree has a season it grows fruit. (They take 10 days to grow into trees and then a few more to bare fruit.) But I noticed it's summer and my full-grown pear trees never gave me any so, yeah. Probably a bug.
