pawns won’t sow plants

[Plague, M.D.]

I have been having an issue where none of my pawns will sow any plants. I zone out a growing zone, 100% fertile and moist, select a plant that pawn is skilled enough to sow, and it is growing season. No one will sow any plants. Right-clicking gives no options. No tooltip appears or anything.

I do have a decent amount of mods installed, but I have gone through and disabled every mod I can think of that would effect plant growing with no change. I’m hoping maybe someone has an idea for me to try before I go through and try each mod one by one, which will be very time consuming.

Are their priorities set correctly for sowing seeds?

Even if its growing season, it can still be too cold to allow them to plant. Hover over the zone and look at the bottom left corner of the screen.

Is growing set to allowed on the zones?

[Plague, M.D.]

growing is allowed and it is in growing season. i started a new map just to confirm and take some screenshots. i made the pawn level 20 in plants, and made the grow zone on a 100% fertile area during the growing season. nothing. will not sow. cannot force to work. right clicking on zone does nothing.

Have you tried ticking the "plow before sowing" button? I have no idea what that is or what mod it's from. I also don't know what mods are adding the irrigation or fertilization buttons. My guess is your issue is related to Terra Project (which I have never used), it's probably either something else you need to be doing to grow crops with that mod, or a conflict with a different mod trying to alter growing mechanics.

It may be a load order issue too. Have you tried using something like this before? It definitely helped me with a lot of my problems.

I have tried ticking the plow before sowing option. No change. I will try the mod manager to see if hopefully it is a load order issue. Otherwise, looks like I’m spending my weekend combing through my mod list. Thanks for the tips.

Terra Project stands out as a likely culprit tbh, I've heard of a lot of issues with it. But that load order is NOT good. I mean, you have Humanoid Alien Races towards the end, for instance...

Also, if a mod manager doesn't solve it, try using this guide and sort it manually (it helped me getting my 260+ modlist running): https://rwom.fandom.com/wiki/Mod_Order_Guide

it was terra project. i completely forgot that it changed farming. i thought it only changed/added biomes. deactivated it and now everything works properly. thanks for the help guys. mod manager helped a lot and i will take a look at that link concerning the mod order. thanks again!

[Preechr]

Terra Project was a great mod that added a lot of cool biomes, tidal effects, and many other neat things... and the author had some really ambitious ideas that were really cool as well. Unfortunately, after implementing a lot of new features that affected farming and food, rain and a water table he added, it became largely unusable and he either lost his passion for the mod, couldn't figure it out, or got depressed from 1000 posts complaining about the same things over and over in the mod forum.

Too bad. Loved where he was going with it.

yeah its a shame. made the planets so much more diverse and interesting.
