Farm debris appearing and breaking machines

[Mooglemuffins]

Anyone else have this happen? I have a setup of all my farm machines (cheese press, mayo machin, kegs, etc etc) and I just woke up to find two of the machines just straight up gone and replace by a stick or a rock.

That honestly shouldn't be allowed to happen. Thankfully these machines aren't too expensive and I'm far enough along it isn't a major setback but if I was earlier in the game and had a rock appear and break say...the only mid tier sprinkler i had at the time that would have been a pain.

Wasn't aware this could happen. I'll put them in my house for the time being then.

Yeah i hadn't had it happen till now. My only cheese press and a keg in the middle of making a wine got broken :(

Did you clear out the entire farmland by any chance?

First fences decay uber quick, now hardy machines break down from sticks. That's just stupid. HM doesn't do this.

At the start I put everything on the grassy area next to the house that the shipping box is on. That part of the farm never gets branches and stones appearing. Paved areas of the ground seem to stop the branches and stones from spawning as well.

Put a road under where you plant the machines and nothing should spawn on them. :3

Had a recycler break the day after making it because seasonal shift. It "turned into" (got crushed by) a log...

I do think that thats a bit silly. Perhaps a way to "protect" areas and prevent it from happening there?

Awesome idea :D I love the cobblestone roads. Planning to make a nice path through my stuff :D

Putting roads under stuff doesn't work, I've had things erased even through paths before.

saw on another post the dev is trying to fix this, he attempted last patch but didn't work so hopefully next patch

I think the best fix, right now, is to just move your maker machines to the area near the shipping bin; nothing gets dropped there/spawns due to seasonal shift or the passage of time, so your machines are safest there. Until CA can fix this, that's probably your best bet.

Either that, or inside your house. That's where I keep mine.

Yeah, I've had logs and rocks teleport inside farm perimeters. Luckily, it was just a crop spot and not a machine. The brush was pushed waay back while I prepped for expansions around the initial plot, but even with all that wild growth pushed offscreen, there's still a log busting up my crops inside the inner perimeter wall.

There's beeen a few rocks as well cropping up on the inside/outside of the stone fence as well, but this was the first time it destroyed an occupied tile.
