Outdated Persistent Farmables 1.03 EK 20140228

Does this work for server owners without every player having to install it aswell?

 

no, I don't believe it does, because it unfortunately uses an entirely different animation system than crops used to for some reason x__x;;

 

Was just at StarDanks server management project forum. Its actually heading in the direction to enable mod download from server - well through website. Should help your players updating the mods. Until proper servrer pull is made from client, its best option so far.

 

Hi, I'm running server off my desktop for a few friends and we wanted to use this. However the mod doesn't seem to work exactly right. Is there something special you need to do in order to install the mod on the server?

Basically I have it in my personal mod folder (i'm running the server). When I go into the game, and sit on the planet with crops they seem to grow, but if I go to other planets they don't seem to grow. I used coralcreep since it has a low grow time. Any thoughts?


EDIT: I watched my server as it booted and it looks like it's loading the mod: http://imgur.com/r9CXoS2

EDIT: It looks like if I restart the server, crop growth resets

EDIT: NVM, it appears that everything is working now. coolio. Sweet mod!

 

Is it compatible with "Compact crops"?
Thx

 

I'm having a similar problem as infinitummy. Sitting right there with my crops they'll grow, but off planet, nothing happens, same as without the mod. Worse yet, as I just figured out, all the crops actually get reset after leaving them.

 

First time you install the mod, it will destroy (or at least it did for me) all the existing crops I (you) planted, since it changes type from "farmable" to "wire". After that, the newly planted crops should grow even when you're not around - i see my server popping the "grow time added" infos nicely.

Edit: It might not destroy your plants, sorry for misleading, i was testing it with custom plants from another mod, so that might be my error. But do replant them (i think).

 

It didn't destroy mine, so maybe that's the problem. I'll rip them up and try again.

 

Well by all means, re-plant them and try.

Edit: And do note the common mistake - some plants take a long time to grow!!! So warping back from your ship after 2 mins, might not show anything

 

I'm planting wheat, kiwis, and feathercrowns. By no means are they they three hour grow time crops.

Edit 1:
My crops are still being reset if they're left alone. I'll try ripping up my crops, logging out, removing the mod, putting it back in, and starting up again. If that doesn't do it, I'll just take out the mod.

Edit 2:
Not losing growth anymore, so it looks like that did the trick.

 

Added a small mod installation guide as a reminder for everyone.
Hope this helps...

 

Gah, this is starting to get frustrating. I logged in and my crops were reset again. I uninstalled the mod and reinstalled it, running the game with a test plant in between. Plants were smashed this time, so maybe it'll work now. Is it possible playing as a character other than the one with the crops when you start up will reset them?

 

Hi. I have a question about this mod. I maintain a small server for a few of my friends and I to play on. If I install this mod on the server, will my friends also need to have this mod installed locally, or will the server installation alone allow everyone to reap the benefits in multi-player?

 

This is the answer I am desperately searching for. Hopefully we can get a response soon I am dying to know.

 

You currently need to have the mod installed on all clients and the server in order to use it in multiplayer.

 

Love the mod it is great cant wait for the next update

 

Nevermind what I wrote before,
still thanks for sharing the mod we love to use it on our server

 

I'm having this trouble as well. I've tried starting up the game without the mod, then quit and restart with the mod. I plant the crops and if I stick around they grow, but if I leave the planet, or the game, they reset. I'm not using a server.

 

hmmm, that is weird did you try picking one of files after downloading it for your prefrence?

 

I used the default settings for using the _rt pack.

UPDATE: problem solved. I had the Furious Koala update that was not working when launched from Steam on a Mac. I got in the habit of launching without Steam and I missed the next little update. Everything working now. thanks
