Farmers not Watering

[Klindhh]

Once I leave the first area my farmers stop being able to water the plants.
They keep walking to the water tanks but just stand there doing nothing (or seem to be trying to walk into it)
Is there a fix/work around?

I have been having the same issue

When I had only 4 large planters with 16 plants, it worked fine and Mo and a helper did everything.
In the arid land I tried 9 planters. Mo will still plant and harvest but no one will water. I only have 40 water bottles. I'm wondering if it's like the crafting where they won't build unless all the materials are available.
So maybe I can't have more planters than water bottles? I'll try reducing number of planters and see what happens.

Is this in the Machine area by any chance? Mo seems so sad staring at the water tank all day. There are 20 full bottles in the stockpile. I have one alpha planter, just to minimize variables. He won't water. Even from the stockpile.

I tried reducing number of planters, resetting Mo as farmer, moving planters closer to community storage. No watering. I also have Ash on part time farmer and she won't water either.
I do have the vertical gardening and other things available. I wonder if that has any affect?

I see the same no watering thing. I went from starting area to Glass House, they stopped watering in Glass House. They would stand and stare at the water tank like others say.

I havent been able to get them to water in the machine room, pump area (i tried putting the farms by all three containers in the pump area), glass house or lobby. I've only tried with the planters and then the alpha planters. I've only tried one spot in the west wing (near the bridge)

Farmering is broken been a known bug since alpha/demo they only get water in the starting area

Mo didn't water on my game at all even from the beginning area

Hi all - we recently released a new patch to address the issues people seem to be having with farming. Please let us know if you continue to face the same problem.

My farmers were working fine today.

It seems they are working fine now, thanks!

Mine are planting and harvesting just won't water, despite water being in the community stockpile, and them having bubbles over their heads with the watering jug.
