Qarnage Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 So I noticed a typo or a work in progress in the Automation Preview. There is a new skill called farming, which benefits harvesting. Hopefully this can give some insight on a future job/skill and maybe the next update?

BlueLance Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 That is unusual, Digging used to be the deciding factor when it came to a dupe harvesting....didn't change anything really though Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/83741-new-farming-job/#findComment-970646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
9LivesBlackCat Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 It looks like the skill isn't leveling for me, and unfortunately, with harvesting now being reliant on the farming skill, it seems to have affected my duplicants' ability to harvest... leading to mass starvation time and again. Anyone have any clue how to get the farming skill to level? I can't find any documentation on it, myself. Been looking for a few days.

Still I have not seen them be much slower than usual to harvest from planters. Are you certain you have enough plants for your dupes? I think 4 mealwood per dupe is the magic number. Another cause of starvation could be binge eaters or there was even some talk recently of food behaving weird if off camera. That might have been fixed though.

I currently have 14 dupes and about 60 plants, not counting sleet wheat plants. My binge eaters have been in control; they're just very slow to actually go and harvest the plants, even with them at highest priority. I'll plant some more and see what happens.

GuyPerfect Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I kept running into troubles with Duplicants putting off harvesting when I wanted them to harvest, so I took the scorched earth approach. The following procedure takes place every time harvest comes around: Plants have harvest disabled until I deem them ready for harvest The game is paused All jobs are deselected, Harvest is the only job selected for everyone Red Alert is toggled on The game is unpaused When everything is harvested, pause again and set jobs back to where they were, detoggle Red Alert Invariably, every time I say it's time to harvest, one guy gets hungry and two more have to go to the bathroom. Never again. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/83741-new-farming-job/#findComment-976980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
