Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

[SirMcCabbage]

so im having trouble getting crops to grow i till the land and plant but it will just stay as a seed never go to growing stage. It will do it even if use a bucket to place water within a 4 block distance. Also tried irrigation system and im pretty sure its set up right but thats not working as well. also if you place water are you not able to pick it back up.

 

[KhaineGB]

Not being able to pick up placed water is intended to stop the infinite water nonsense.

You need water within 4 blocks. Plants CONSUME water, so you can't just put a block down and hope it works.

You need a water pump for the irrigation. The pump must be next to water. It does not consume the water, but plants will if they're too close.

That's a nice tutorial there... now I understand better how farming works in DF.

Thanks!  

 

[SirMcCabbage]

thanks it turns out my placement of the water was incorrect next to the controller

 

[Nickguy5467]

how do i figure out what mods are working with DF or not? i get random red command lines sometimes. 

 

[KhaineGB]

Most won't work. It's an overhaul mod.

Simple as that.

 

[Nickguy5467]

yeah i figured as much i was just wondering if there was a way to find out whats clashing with what so i can delete it

@KhaineGB : DF bugged out exactly at the worst moment... I was fighting a screamer horde but the console kept popping up making it impossible to fight.

Here's the screenshot of the log... can you make anything out of it? Thanks

 

[KhaineGB]

Not without the actual log, no. Screenshots rarely tell me anything useful.

I think I found the relevant part in the Log: I see it's the same error repeating several times after a while:

[KhaineGB]

Interesting... what's trying to apply a buff to what... hm... may need to do some testing

 

[haaammit]

3.5 is on nexus. You can't use it with the launcher.

Files downloaded, moved and old save working a treat. Thanks Khaine

 

[KhaineGB]

No problem  Glad you're sorted

 

[Jost Amman]

@KhaineGB IF or WHEN you fix that problem... could you please tell us here on the forum?

Sadly, I decided to uninstall DF since I can't play like that...

I basically lost my base (it was destroyed) because I died and couldn't fight due to the NRE/Exception spamming the console.

Thanks!

This smells like a race condition.

Like maybe some members of the horde were still being created when they were being updated.

Nah, it says it's a buff problem. I suspect a zombie hit another zombie and infected it or something.

Yes, that's a thing.

 

[KhaineGB]

If anyone wants to risk it... I think I fixed the NRE.

Basically I spawned a ton of demons and night stalkers since they seem to like attacking each other, and didn't have any errors. That's as far as i've tested.
