DF Gameplay Questions / Farming questions
« on: June 17, 2010, 07:17:40 am »
so, I have recently started playing DF. I find it an generally awesome game.
However, I have run into trouble as of late, can't find any iron, nor any flux
but that is besides the topic, I suppose it is the place I am in.
Anyway, here is my problem. Farming.
I have set up 4 plots, everything is in order, I am getting a bit of plump helmets.
Generally the amount of plants planted is low, and I barely make it around, even with quite a few gatheres outside. This time however, I decided to put a lot of dwarves on farming. and I quickly saw the results. My plot was getting more full by the minute. Then something disturbing started to happen, something really disturbing.
While my guys was planting, some crop became ripe, and soon I was having a lot of ripe plump helmets. And they started to ROT!
soon half my plot was ripe, and rotting. So I decided to put all the collectors on farming. The results? more plants being planted, and even more rotting helmets. This was a catastrophe!
Is there anyway to avoid this? It feels rather annoying to have a shortage of food and seeing it rot.
