::This is most likely because it is late winter, and any seeds planted at that point won't have time to grow by the end of the year. It doesn't take into account the fact that the crops may still be growable in the spring as it does with the other seasons; something about the new year throws it off. --[[User:Hesitris|Hesitris]] 10:06, 18 November 2007 (EST) | ::This is most likely because it is late winter, and any seeds planted at that point won't have time to grow by the end of the year.

It was suggested that stone and wood hauling be turned off during planting season to prevent starvation. It seems more prudent to me that in case of eminent starvation to turn off FOOD HAULING so all the hungry dwarves can swarm the previously tasked foods. Then turn it back on and let them continue taking their time getting it to where it needs to be. Is this a bad idea? ~~ | It was suggested that stone and wood hauling be turned off during planting season to prevent starvation.

: I don't think dwarfs will recognize food that hasn't been hauled from the field when they search for something to eat, that is, food doesn't normally go directly to the plate. There's also the part where foodstuff can wither in the fields if no one picks it up and moves it to a stockpile in time. --[[User:FJH|FJH]] 20:50, 7 March 2009 (EST) | : I don't think dwarfs will recognize food that hasn't been hauled from the field when they search for something to eat, that is, food doesn't normally go directly to the plate.

:Was this during the winter? The last time I looked into this (though I think it's fixed), crops don't wrap around from year to year- so they don't check to see if you still want this growing in Spring during Winter like they check Winter during Autumn.

:: Okay, now I'm even more confused. Today I loaded up the game, and within an hour, they fertilized my outdoor farms. The only difference is that I started filling the moat, which borders the outdoor farms on two sides each (one tile barrier). One of my indoor farms borders the moat on one side, but that wasn't fertilized. o.O --[[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 23:26, 5 November 2008 (EST) | :: Okay, now I'm even more confused.

::Umm... pardon me, but walling an area in does NOT trigger cave adaptation, but building floors does. Walling the area in will cause them to vomit if they are cave-adapted, if that's maybe what you meant...? --[[User:Drake1500|Drake1500]] 02:48, 25 April 2009 (UTC) | ::Umm... pardon me, but walling an area in does NOT trigger cave adaptation, but building floors does.

Personally, I dislike the section Greenhouse, since it boils down to "constructions don't block light, so you can build an aboveground farm plot deep in the earth," which is one of those telling-people-how-to-play-the-game-not-just-how-the-game-works things that I find detract. Opinions? --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 11:28, 13 February 2009 (EST) | Personally, I dislike the section Greenhouse, since it boils down to "constructions don't block light, so you can build an aboveground farm plot deep in the earth," which is one of those telling-people-how-to-play-the-game-not-just-how-the-game-works things that I find detract.

: Rip out that guide and give it to 'em bluntly, like you say. But do note it's an exploit, we just consider it less of an exploit to use glass or grates. Isn't it really a "once lit by the sun, always lit by the sun" bug? --[[User:Jellyfishgreen|Jellyfishgreen]] 11:46, 13 February 2009 (EST) | : Rip out that guide and give it to 'em bluntly, like you say.
