Map Editor - Greenar health always zero

[Ranger]

I have spent quite a bit of time making a map and have run into an issue. My Greenar deposits do not produce any greenar. If i remove them and place new ones they have the same issue. It's taken me several days to refine and tweak the map and I keep running into the problem of the final test playthrough being impossible to beat due to lack of greenar which is needed for beacons.

Is there a setting I'm failing to find or am I doing something wrong. And I am building refineries so that isn't the issue. The only solution I have been able to find thus far is resource pods but I would rather not make the game too easy by using those.

Greenar crystals can't spawn on rough terrain, try flattening the area around the Greenar mother and seeing if that fixes it.

it was a completely flat area...

The only setting on a greenar mother is the production interval, which would indeed cause the mother to stop producing if you set it too high. It's at a reasonable number by default, though, so that shouldn't have changed unless you deliberately modified it. I can't really think of anything that should cause the mother to not produce other than a modified production interval or nearby obstructions. Any chance you could post a screenshot to help give us more context for what the situation looks like?

I tried modifying the production interval, but have since deleted and replaced the greenar units.. so I would expect that to not effect the new units right? I feel like the file may be corrupt, which is unfortunate given how much time I have already put into the map. Thanks for responding!

I'm having this problem in the farsite sector.
Shattered and Archon won't produce any Greenar for me.
In shattered it was optional, so didn't care that much, but it's required to complete Archon, so I can't continue the story.

You can go to the mission select screen and hit 'u' to unlock the next mission if you want to bypass the problem and continue the story. However, based on the fact this happened in 2 consecutive missions I think it is possible that you will have this issue in future missions.

Firstly, are you aware that greenar functions differently than bluite and redon crystals? You need to build a refinery near the greenar mother, not connect to the greenar mother directly. Shattered and Archon shouldn't have anything preventing greenar spawns unless you managed to occupy all nearby cells. Did you fill the area around the crystal with units (units in transit and refineries count) or terraform markers?

If those aren't the case it could be a number of different things; if you could provide a screenshot of the map in progress, including the parts of your base near the greenar mother, that would be helpful in narrowing down what is causing this behaviour.
