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.
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.
