storm6436 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Most of us were aware the farm station was bugged prior to this patch -- You could only use it with the planters, not the farm or hydro tiles. Good news: It works with farm times now. Bad news: the behavior is erratic at best for both the farm station and now the power generation station. Prior to tonight's patch, my electrical engineer had my nat gas generators on lock, all 5 of them tuned to the hilt... now? He spends most of his time running about with my two farmers ignoring his job. At best, he services one generator, just like the farmers tend just one crap each but whether or not that happens seems to be fairly random. That said, unlike the EE, the farmers will randomly make plant food, they just won't use it. Easy stuff double checked before posting: 1. Outstanding global work queue nil to minimal 2. Maximum priority for global jobs =2. 3. Job tasks for the EE (the power station itself as the gens have no priority) set to priority 4. 4. Job tasks for the farmers -- bristle berry plants all set to 3, farm stations set to 4. 5. Power station has 50 refined iron standing by, is adjacent to and enclosed in the same properly identified room space with the generators. 6. Both farm stations have 50 fertilizer, are adjacent to and enclosed in the same properly identified room space with the crops.. Less obvious checks: 1. For the farm station, I went ahead and ensured an open block in front of and behind the station, just in case it had weird requirements like the biometric door (ie. you need an open tile to stand on immediately in front of the door or it won't operate.) -- This didn't seem to help any. Anyone else seeing stuff like this? To be fair the one "Bad tester! BAD!" admission on this game is that the save file is from the first push for the preview... so there's a non-zero chance this might work in a fresh game, but I'm inclined to doubt that at the moment.

NanoD Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 My test with farm stations is that my dupe use it once after it is built. No other task and the dupe is idle.

Siromatik Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 SAme issue for me, none of my two farmers want to continue the work on delivery/making of the Plant Food. Have 3 others differents farms setup and same issue, so it still a bit buggy, even by locking them in with more fertilizer or switching assignation on Farm Station. Bug report already done ? Or just missing some implementations till the beta branch ? The Bristle Blossom have the "Farmer's Tune-Up" buff This one doesnt have the buff, even if my dupe delivered to the tile a Plant Food Here an already maked Plant Food, landing there and unused for a while The Farm Station can store 50kg of Fertilizer, already 30kg previously maked/used, so the maths are okay And the "hitbox" doesnt match with the new artwork (3 tiles high) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/86922-preview-new-station-behavior-30-jan-patch/#findComment-997488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siromatik Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It use 5kg of fertilizer each crop and grow something like 40% faster (Ready to harvest when the other one reached 60% growing) Maybe good to use on "hard times" when you know you're going to be on food shortage..

NanoD Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 At the moment it looks like it boost the growth rate with 100%. But I think it might change. Considering in the tool tip it says 1%...

Saturnus Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Farm stations have no effect on crops in hydroponic tiles at all it seems.

Plant food looks like a light green cube and the farmer can use their gun to beam it on the plant. Its noticeable and cool looking. The Farmer job is lvl2, from farmhand. The farmer has to be assigned to the farm station. It takes a while to activate tho. Maybe it has a cooldown.
