snackmix Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Sorry if this has been asked I did some searching and couldn't find anything. I've made it to the third asteroid and have a base that can survive with 3 dupes on it. My first two asteroids are very established. I shipped some thimble reed seeds back to my first asteroid, since it would be easier to set up a farm and grow it there. I'm not able to plant it in the farm plot. I've tried both farm plot and hydro farm plots. It shows up, shows 5 seeds, but the plant button stays grey. Is it supposed to not be able to be grown outside of the 3rd asteroid?

sakura_sk Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I think you need to bring them to a storage bin and outside of rocket for the "world" to recognize them. I suppose at some point bringing anything back would be only possible with cargo modules... but until then you have to manually (forcefully) unload the rocket Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/124742-cant-grow-thimble-reed/#findComment-1404377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve8 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Probably because rockets are basically their own mini asteroid Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/124742-cant-grow-thimble-reed/#findComment-1404386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharraShimada Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 One thing one often not notice: Reeds need 3 tiles high, while most other plants are 2 tiles high. Is clear space availlable?

yopyop6 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I had the same issue. The seeds were stuck in a disabled auto dispenser. At some point during alpha auto dispenser needed power thus the need for some automation Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/124742-cant-grow-thimble-reed/#findComment-1404411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that was driving me nuts. Moving them out of the rocket made it all work correct.

larkvi Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I ran into this exact same issue and eventually realized the problem, but not how to force them to move the seeds out of the rocket. Any tips? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/124742-cant-grow-thimble-reed/#findComment-1405219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's its use :P -Make storage bin outside rocket, select preferred resource -Yellow alert bin (above 9) until someone takes the **** seed outside the rocket and puts it in the bin Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/124742-cant-grow-thimble-reed/#findComment-1405439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
larkvi Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I think the problem is that since switching to the DLC, I am spamming Yellow Alert to a degree I never was in the base game. The constant maximizing of priorities to get dupes to do things like feed the other colony through the warp tube (I eventually figured out a solution with multiple refrigerators at different priorities with restricted amounts, but it is still annoying) and just about anything to do with rockets is annoying.

Yellow alerting dupes too much makes them forget their basic needs and could starve to death or make messes. It seems that rockets (currently) are not made for storing and moving stuff around. I'm waiting to see how it will change in the upcoming updates.
