Disaappearing hydro crops?

======= NOTICE FOR HELP =======

All our hydro crops disappeared/died: but the base still has power and O2. They are in an isolated room that is separate from all construction

[color=d0901d]When did it happen? 6:40 April 30th(Use server time: type ingame cb:time)*[/color]*

On which Playfield? Uoda Sector
=>

Structure Name: Red Dragon HQ?

Red Dragon Hq (Open ingame console and type di)?

If it’s possible to get some of the supplies back to replace them, we had 1 of each hydro crop type, 1 additional for plant protein and berries, and 1 additional for pentaxid. We spendt a chunk of our starting credits to make sure our whole faction had food, :confused:

Adm will most likely help when they get up from bed :slightly_smiling_face:
But in general, it is not recommended to have plants in space, or on places where they will instadie without o2. This is because of rendering in the game.

Hey, @RudimentaryRecall.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do to help here, but I can at least tell you why it happens.

Empyrion uses Dynamic Structure Loading, which means that your base won’t actually load until you go near it. If you have too big or too many structures in a small area, that will slow down the loading a bit.
Devices (incl. hydroponic bays) normally load before blocks. That means, there’s a small chance your hydrobays will be loaded first and exposed to the environment, before the rest of the base loads.
The result is that all your crops die.

The only way to avoid it would be to move your farm onto a temperate planet, where the outside conditions aren’t dangerous to the plants.

But in general, in space, many or big structures makes this bug more common.
