Why aren't my farmers planting stuff?

[Zales]

I am currently in my first fall and experienced what I assume was my first infestation of sorts. Because of this I had to cut all of my rice. After words I tried to replant everything but my farmers won't plant anything. Why aren't they planting it? Is it because it's fall? Are there specific plants that can be planted every season? If so, what can I plant during fall and winter?

click on your growzone, when is your growing period?
what is the temperature on your map during the night?

Two things come to mind.

First click on one of the growing areas, in the info box see what the "Growing Season" is for your region. Then check the calendar on the right and see if you're still in it, some time into fall is the cutoff for much of the Rimworld.

If you are still in growing season make sure, in all the chaos that you did not toggle off "Allow Sowing" it's the icon with a hand. If it has an X, they won't plant new crops in that zone.

Another thing:

Priorities and skill level. What are you trying to plant? (Some require a minimum skill level).

Likewise, if you have it set to 3... but you have a bunch of 1s and 2s... that colonist may never get to the point where he or she decides to plant anything. Likewise, if the it set for 2, for instance, and there are other things also set to 2 to the left of the priority chart then those take a higher priority than farming.

I sometimes notice, though, that farmers sometimes ignore replanting the same zone multiple times. I will delete the zone and recreate it and that normally helps.

I have 0 mods right now.
