joke33 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I planted some fruit trees yesterday quite late and today after 15 hours thought I should check them but they aren't grown yet. Now it's over 19 hours past I planted them and still no check-health option available. Is it a bug or should I wait some more? My Blog of pure... Uhmm... Well...

doogsidoof Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 you should just wait some more because different trees have different growing times. if it goes onto like 3 days without the option then send a bug report or something.

Great_one Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 the grow times in the guides are just the usual times, regular fruit trees may take as long as 24 hours to grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inuashakent Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm not sure what causes the different growth rates, but I'm pretty sure it's that you missed a growth cycle with bad plant timing. Or it could be that your plant became diseased and your farmer cured it, thus making you lose a growth cycle. Either way, just wait.

SportsGuy Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Actually...I noticed the same thing...it's not that they're not completing their cycles...last night I had a papaya tree at mid-growth stage and it hasn't changed in appearance even...

When you pay a farmer, it's not that it can't get diseased, but that if it did, the farmer cures it but it takes a growth cycle away.

I know...I'm not new to farming and I've stated as much in past posts. My point is...this is the worst I've ever seen it. It's been 20 hours for a 14 1/2 hour plant.

Zaaps1 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 If the tree becomes diseased while under the farmer's care, it still grows slowly. It's aggravating. However, I don't believe this is the case. Sometimes, they just don't grow. I've have fruit trees that didn't grow after 24 hours, and it isn't just one of them at a time, no it's all 5 or 4 of them at a time. I think it's a bug, tbh. The same thing happens to herbs sometimes, which proves my point. After HOURS, sometimes herbs still aren't finished. They can't be protected, and they weren't diseased, and their supposed to grow in just 75 minutes. I'd say there's a growing bug going around, but meh, it's not such a big deal, since it only happens once every so often. ~It's Super Effective!

Like you, I suspect it's a bug, probably a randomly inserted one with recent or upcoming changes. I'm also seeing a drastic reduction in my herbs output. I (once upon a time) could get up to 10 herbs from a single seed (if I was lucky), but now it seems like my high level herbs are all only giving out five herbs and MAYBE if I'm lucky 6. I don't know what's going on...and if it were only one thing, I'd just chalk it up to some bad luck, but I kind of "set my watch" to the timers and only now-and-then have had to wait for a plant that I've paid to watch to grow. I know that farmers only protect from disease and that they still lose a cycle of growth, but like I mentioned, it seems like it's losing the same cycle over and over.

Laps9 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm pretty sure the same thing happens in brewing, it once took me 4 days for my greenmans ale to finish fermenting. This is when the usual cycle takes just about 24hrs.

toast647 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Sometimes they take a really long time, the fastest they can be grown is 14.6 hours. While I was getting 99 farming this happened to me quite a bit. At one point some trees were taking 30 hours to finish :x Just use super compost and pay the farmers and they usually won't take so long Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately - recently, that is - it's taking a VERY long time. It's just your luck. I've been farming fruit trees every 24 hours since September, and the slow growing plants have been happening since the beginning. Actually right now I'm doing quite well, haven't had one take over 24 hours in about 2 weeks now. As far as I know, it's just something you have to put up with as a farmer. That's why I do fruit trees every 24 hours instead of 15, as I rarely find them ready after the minimum time. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
