Looks like CHdistantfarm isn't working anymore since the farm that I planted several hours ago (at least 3+ hours) ago should be fully grown, but it isn't. The page for that mod is still very much active, so maybe it just needs some time? I don't know.

[Darvince]

no if there were no changes to wheat&such in the new update then the old one can be used >_<

BLA CHDISTANTFARM CAN BE LINSTALLED

Actually, on second look, it is working, it's just that some of the chunks nearest to me apparently didn't unload when I logged out since I logged out near the farm.

Chalk that earlier post to posting too quickly and not checking for sure.

I went far enough away that the autofarm bridge pieces for the redstone dissapeared from far view before logging out just to be sure.

Darvince, it is already installed.

While CHdistant farm is working, I'm noticing something odd with it. Earlier today I planted a test plot on my farms earlier today, then went over to Kipz's farm (was looking at something), then logged out for a while. When I got back on, I saw that the section that I had used in Kipz's farm was 99% grown (or maybe 100%, point is that it did grow). I went back to Kaeshar and saw that the test plot hadn't grown any.

The difference between the ones that did grow earlier vs the ones that didn't are that the ones which didn't grow are where sand and rock used to be.

Now that most of my farm doesn't work with CHdistantfarm, I'm not sure what to do with it now. Only the top 4 or 5 sections get triggered by CHdistantfarm.

I know I could just scrap the lower part of it and keep extending it further, but I don't want to do that right now. Plus I'm going to do a test planting through it to find out where its having a problem and it isn't.

Edit: There was also an arrow which had glitched into the plowed block since it hit me when I removed the block it was stuck on. It's entirely possible that the glitched out arrow may have confused the plugin.

http://imgur.com/OtTlg,m4wQc#0 (normal and expanded FOV) No idea why those 16 sections didn't grow while everything else grew as expected.

I can try removing and replacing the dirt blocks, but other than that, I'm out of ideas since I ruled out the plugin not working underground with the small underfarm and some of those plots that did grow were also underground or at least would be, or partially underground.

plant entire farm for better sample size meyybe. i don't see whats wrong with farm.

[smjjames]

Yeah well, many hours later, those crops shown should be grown via CHdistantfarm, right?, but they aren't. The first one is last night and the second one is this morning.

[vh]

maybe it doesn't work when no one on server.

idk.

[smjjames]

If you think I should plant the whole farm for a bigger test sample, okay.

Edit: I didn't have enough to plant the whole farm, but 90% planted should do it for a larger sample.

How exactly will you test if it works?

[smjjames]

By logging off and waiting a while......

As shown by the tiny underarm that Darv said was in plaidania and Kipz's farm, the chunk is unloading when I log out, so it isn't that.

Anyways, over an hour later after I logged out....

I haven't tried removing and replacing the soil in the four affected chunks yet. So I'll try that, otherwise I have no clue why CHdistantfarm is having a problem because some of the ones which did grow were also underground once.

What are the coordinates which the ungrown and grown crops split at? If it's a multiple of 16, it could have something to do with chunks.

More progress.

I told him ingame, but the split is at x -783 (the crops grow at -784) and z 1260.

I waited about an hour and while the rest of the farm finished growing, the test plot in the affected chunks didn't grow.

I prefer creative as well, but its not all that hard to make big/cool things in survival, just takes more time and some different building tricks.

Also, practice. Start off with some smaller stuff.

my problems are food (not a big problem) items (not a big problem in blacraft) and my life (if I fall, i die) xD
and I have'nt so much time to invest in blacraft :/
because I'm in eighth grade and have much homework to do (and a work in a near future xD)

Two words, scaffolding and ladders.

As for falling, hold down the shift key to keep from falling off ledges.

Still though, I'm wondering how Bla did that as well since it looks like he'd need alot of scaffolding (either dirt or sand).

[vh]

just use waterbukket or blocks up to each spot, and then build stairs in the air while standing on them.

thats three words! 'scaffolding and ladders'

[Bla]

I usually don't set up "permanent" scaffholdings. I just make a small pillar to get where I need and remove it afterwards.
In this project I've made two diagonal staircases running against the slope of the platforms.

You're just nitpicking :p

Anyways, played around with the CHdistantfarm plugin yet Bla? I can also do a small scale test (3x6plots should do it) to see if it's isolated to those four chunks, unless you think that won't help anything.

Edit: Decided to go ahead out of curiosity. I had also thought of making another plot within the known affected chunks, but at a higher elevation, but changed my mind since the altitude within the chunk shouldn't affect anything.

Edit2: Strange, looks like the problem might extend beyond the area of the farm. Going to wait a while longer. Made another test plot to check if Bla turned off CHdistantfarm. if the plugin is still on, I'll make another test plot much further away (maybe down to Sapphire Bay).

Actually, Bla, once a month, gives us the world files and one hour to edit your region with any program you would like.  When done, you upload the file back to Bla, and he gives the world file to the next person and so on. Also, since Bla is admin, he gets 2 hours.jk

As for big, kip made a 10k block wheat farm, and that's just the dirt. It's automati too.
