Plants just not growing anymore

[BlackDev]

I build my agriculture building like in previous builds of the game. Planted my first seeds and did one harvest. After that though, I wasn't abel to harvest anything anymore. They where stuck in pre-harvest or growing. Also I don't play on creative but on survival mode.

I build the cealing out of concrete blocks, the rest out of wooden blocks. All of those as well as the door are airtight:

I also tried to remove the plants and placed them again with the multi-tool but now they don't grow beyond sproud anymore.

Another thing I've noticed is that drone attacks ceased to happen after the second attack. They just won't show up anymore. No clue if there is a timer brocken or something or if it's not connected to the growing issue at all.

Can't get plastic now, just sucks :/

I think your lights might be too far away from the plants. try lowering them by one block. You also have way too many of them. Each one covers a 3X3 block area. So I would drop them down by one block and keep only the ones I actually needed and remove the rest.

try lowering them by one block

I red a few topics with similar issues, that why I put them one block higher then I would normally do. They used to be one lower when I noticed the issue (after the first harvest).

I now, but what else could I try to get em to grow but try to increase the amounts of lights

100% guaranteed, your grow lights are too far up, they will not work that far away. Lower them to the proper height.

I had the issue already when they where lower. I put them one higher as a try to fix it.
Never the less I build a new smaller greenhouse. 3x3 with only one light 2 blocks up, all sorrounded by wooden blocks. It has the same issue, plants won't grow anymore.

There's only so much we can do with descriptions to determine if you've built it correctly. Pictures of the new setup would help, or better yet a blueprint we can investigate would help even more.

I'm pretty sure your pictures above had the lights 2 blocks too far up. Did you lower them 2 blocks?

black dev i am having the same issue also, my auto miners seem to shut down and stop working also. I know how to make a farm i ve had several working farms np. also auto miners. howerver recently...hmm maybe new patch...things are not working right??

Dunno, I raised both growing houses to the ground now and rebuild them the way I usually do: 1 space for the crops, one space free and the light above. They work now so it probably was one light to high still.

Quite frustrating as the "move the light higher" was the first walkaround I tried when they where stuck in the grow state initially. But hey it works now.

The drone attacks have continued too. It was several hours without any drone attacks and I was kinda sad that they have stopped to occur. The second I placed my first turret on my base (because of looks, wasn't really another reason without attacks) they startet again.

Thanks for the help chaps.
