Help! Cannot Plant on Farm Plots?

[Kauldric]

I have recently experience something odd. Sometimes, when I put a farm plot down, I am unable to plant seeds on them. When I attempt to plant a seed, the seed instantly pops out of the farm plot as if someone had hit it. Then I can sometimes loot it and try to replant it (but it fails again), but sometimes the seed is gone for good.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there a work around...?

Check the block above. For example, if you're trying to plant corn, it will need 2 full blocks clear above the planter. Even if it's only a tiny bit taking up space in a block above, as in a window sill or something of the like, it will not let you plant there. So, be sure that you have sufficient room ABOVE the planter for the plant to eventually grow.

Yup was just going to say this. You are experiencing the same situation as if the game allows you to place a wooden frame on say garbage but once placed it crumbles, say as your seeds.

Aha, very interesting! I had planted a bunch of tree very nearby and they may have been interfering somehow. Chainsaw time...

Thanks!
