disable auto harvest fruit drop time?

does someone know how much time it takes to plants to drop fruit when auto harvest is disabled?

Why hello. I wanted to know this answer too so I did some testing in Debug mode using Mealwood.

• Planted Mealwood at Cycle 1
• Ripen at Cycle 4
• Turned yellow at Cycle 6
• Meal lice dropped at Cycle 8

So it looks like it'll take 7 Cycles to grow from seedling to dropping fruit without auto harvest.

I enclosed the plants in Carbon Dioxide for this test. In another test, I found that when their growth was halted things got funky. I mean they just won't turn yellow or if they do...they turn back to green. Maybe someone can do further testing.

Here's a picture of my test.

Thanks, man. That´s very helpful!

Oh, you might like this too. At the bottom it shows you how many plants needed to sustain your Duplicants without auto harvest. I'd aim for a bit more in case something happens.
