Crops in my Garden Why Did You Wilt!!??

Came online just now to find two of my crops were wilted!  Watering brought them back to their perky green selves but would they have died if I had been away much longer???

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!  I hated Farmville and games like that because they trashed my efforts if real life and work kept me too busy to come do my "chores".  I want FUN not CHORES!

  • That blue bar on the bottom shows how wet your plot is.

    If there's not enough water for the plant to grow to fullness, it will wilt.  So growth will halt until you water again.

  • It doesnt' trash your efforts,  you just need to make sure that crops have enough water to grow. Things like potatoes & cabbages take a long time to grow, so they need a full water bar

  • They have never wilted before and I have left them a lot longer than this before!

  • Yes, but it's been unseasonably warm lately.

  • LOL so it has but I still want to know if the devs have changed things so my crops will now rot.  I know I saw a thread once where they were talking about doing that.

  • I don't believe they wilt to death yet. I've missed a lot of time due to internet problems while on vacation, and they were wilted, but alright, days later. :)

  • Actually I believe that the devs have said that crops will never wilt and die - that's just not their style!

  • I've heard that when crops die they become hellish grapes.

  • Enola Llataton   - It's nothing to do with leaving them.  It's to do with not watering them before you leave them.  

    It's easy to do if the earth is still wet when you pick the crops.  

    When that happens, you clear, plant and then water -  instead of clear, water, plant  (which is what happens when the earth is dry). 

    Make sure the blue water bar is full when you leave your seeds to grow into crops and they won't wilt

  • katlazam, crops will wilt, but they won't die.  A simple watering will bring them back to full perkiness.

  • I don't think they wilted in beta, but I did notice the wilting after launch at some point.

    As others said, they don't die; they simply pause their growth until you water them again. I think it's an acceptable penalty for letting them run out of water, since they don't die. :)

  • Before, they would wilt, but  it didn't have any real effect, they would continue growing and when you watered them, they would be full grown.

    Relatively late on in beta, they changed it so that growing stopped when the water ran out,  which makes more sense and is more noticeable.

  • Somewhere there is a dark smelly place filled with hellish cabbage.  You really don't want to know what you have to do to that cabbage to get out.  *shudders*
