Corn wont plant??

[«Thorvaldr»]

have started farming for corn, chiefly for gas can production, and have planted 2 rows of corn on freshly placed soil. my third row will in a few places plant, but for most, the second it plants it goes poof and disappears. tried a tilled row just to try and made no difference. anyone have any ideas?? on v14.7

Weird. You try digging up the dirt and replacing it?

[vv [FuMM]]

how you Till the row makes a big difference. If I remember correctly you need to do it in lines. It depends on what direction you are facing the row when you till it etc.

oh you also need a space between the rows for corn. some of the others don't need this.

[«Thorvaldr»]

digged up and replaces, and tilled in a clean row, not that it should make a difference for corn

[«Thorvaldr»]

and one row between, still goes poof

Just put in your belt a stack of fertile soil and a stack of corn seeds.
Then place soil + plat seed, rinse and repeat.

Don't till it before planting.

Is there a tunnel or cave system under this field by chance?

[«Thorvaldr»]

not that i am aware, if it is it will be 5 or more deep. does that effect planting?

Well could do, it does have some strage effects on SI after all.

I have 1 spot in one of my fields i cant plant anything. Must be a bug.

yah i've recently had similiar issues with plants going "poff" <- various plants so its not only "corn" related -> my best guess it is either a SI related issue -> OR its a terrain bug related for eg on certain occasions when i had a row going poof on me ive put a several frames on it (aka 3 blocks high) on the entire row and then grabbed them -> after that the plants have grown normally there (a single row of frames wasnt enough i had to go 3 blocks high) so i think its a terrain realated -> aka game thought there was no sunlight there or there was some remnant of earth suspended there and the plant wasnt able to grow to its full height -> imho its a bug within the ground routine somewhere . aka ive seen more than on one occasion when you dig out a drit -> there should be empty place -> but instead there is a space but with some remnants of dirt in it (usually its quite tiny but its there) -> and it only vanishes after you place some frames on it so i think that may be also our "culprit".

@ OP: No bug, just your problem is that some of your ground is tilled and some is not, so when you plant on fertile dirt, it is too close to the seedling in the tilled ground. It also happens if we try to plant on dirt that borders grassed-over dirt when already planted in dirt 1 block away.

Follow the advice above from Jost & vv.

Does this still work? The underground farm using just a spotlight thing. (If it does, i've wasted so much of my time digging pillars up for sunlight then...)

Mine just go ppof and disappear too. They either break, or once planted just disappear. I've been trying different strategies but have never successfully grown anything.
