[fixed] "Someone else is already working on this patch"

I'm getting this error in a number of places.  Nobody else is in the area.  I can use nearby patches.  One of these patches is in Upper Valley Heights, Groddle Forest and I've encountered another in Yeoman's Bluff.

  • I believe I was in Upper Valley Heights when I received this error as well. When I tried to plant a bean there it said I should clear the weeds, even though I had just tried with the above error.

  • So, Lady Snugglewumps has found that this occurs when someone cancels a dig on a patch.

    I verified that this occurs regardless of whether the patch in question is tended or untended.

    So, um, don't cancel digging patches unless you want to render the patch completely useless.

  • Some have been fixed or fixed themselves.
    Found one in GFJ.

  • This shouldn't happen to patches any more, but there may still be some that are stuck in this state.

    Those should be cleared up in the next hour or so at the longest.

    Thanks!

  • And... patches should be back to normal.

    If you see any that are reporting "someone else is working on this patch" (when, clearly, there's no-one else near it), let us know here (or, maybe better, in the in-game help channel) and we'll send around a crack team of patch-uncloggers immediately.

  • Lord Bacon-o - thanks for the report. I've un-bunged your patch now, so it should work as expected.

  • Clogged patch at Svarta Swale. The one on the rightmost plateau.
