Sup with my pumpkin seed!?
For real though. I have a rather large garden going, and there is this 1 pumpkin seed that refuses to grow with the rest of the garden. Even though it was planted at the same time as all the rest of the seeds were in seedling form, this one seed refuses to grow normally. Every couple days at harvest time, that one is always 1 stage behind.....why!?

*wonders* Maybe, you're on the edge of a chunk, and it's just that tad bit on the other side of the line? No clue, honestly, but I've seen similar happen.

I built farm plots for them all, so its not on the edge of anything. Well, its occupying a corner farm plot......

The game world is broken down into 16x16 'Chunks' much like minecraft- And like minecraft, things that cross chunks can cause silly issues.

Using Minecraft as an example, at least a few versions ago, if you stood in a chunk with your wheat growing, but also had wheat growing in the 8 adjacent chunks, then the chunk you're in will finish growing before the 4 orthogonaly adjacent ones (Up/Down/Left/Right); And the 4 orthogonal ones would finish growing before the 4 corner ones.
For a visual reference:
3 2 3
2 1 2
3 2 3
With 1 growing first and 3 growing last.

The same thing can happen in 7DTD. If your one single crop is just over the border into another chunk, then it will grow just a little slower. If it happens to be the one single block that ends up in a third chunk (using the example above), then it will grow slower still.

This effect occurs because the game cares most about the chunk you are actually in- Making sure everything works perfectly. Then it moves it's attention to other chunks around you, but cutting some corners in the simulation, as it were.


Since the crop causing you trouble IS a corner plot, It's most likely (but not guaranteedly) that it is in a diagonally adjacent chunk.

Amusing. Though this is my farm plot layout. The problem spot was the empty one im aiming at(I removed the seed entirely).

Kinda strange that if it is cuz of chunks, how the one in the middle is growing slow. But this is 7dtd...game is pretty wack most the time.

Yep, that's pretty odd! Nice garden layout!

Nice GUI you have there. Mind if I ask what mods you're using?

Im using Bdubs vehicle mod, Firearms 4 and Riles Hud plus 1.07.

I will fully agree that HUD is pretty good. Honestly, it is what the vanilla hud should be. It tells you what it needs to without being intrusive and...unlike vanilla, it actually tells you what you need to know.
Sooooo, I guess that one seed was bad. I pulled it, threw it away and put another seed in it's place, grew just fine lol.

You really should start a new topic in the appropriate section for an unrelated question. People won't see it here.
