Your not using glass doors are you?

No,are armored doors,but I have on my greenhouse at one wall with heavyWindowsC ,it is a problem this?I find it strange for a few days the greenhouses worked correctly

Once had that issue, replacing the growing plots solved it for me!

Now,in this moment,I will change windows with blocks(unfortunately,with windows,the greenhouse was more beatiful :slight_smile: ).And will change growing plots.Will see what happen.

Are you using glass model of armored doors, those are not airtight.

No glass model!I know very well this game and all type of items.I has some blocks ā€œround slopeā€ and HeavyWindowsC for windows.I changed ā€œround slopeā€ with cube,and I gave up the windows in favor of the blocks.For moment ,the greenhouse work ok,the plants have not died for the time being.I used ā€œround slopeā€ for bases,never has problems with this.If will be ok in two days,I will close the topic.
What is interesting is that plants died at random intervals,from one hour to eight hours.

Unfortunately,the bug persist! Today twice, again!!! May be Admins will verify which is problem!I made many changes, but in vain!.Plants die from time to time!As if it were the bermuda triangle in this zone.

Reading the 8.2 patch notes, it may help clear it up. If your making a space garden, try it on a temperate planet instead.

Sorry,but it’s not a solution!.Another players have spatial garden,and are ok.And,on another server,this problem it is not happen,I tested. In this moment,when write here,strange is that not all plants are dead,only some.Those that have not dried are of various types.in other times ,all have dried.

Hello @lidan

Peacekeeper isn’t that full to say it is because of that.
But plant growing was always buggy in empyrion after temperature, radiation, air and co. got implemented.
A common workaround for example is to not have only one spawn light above the plants but instead 9. Per plot 1 light.
Another workaround are Steel growing plots.
I don’t know but 8.2 patch has some fixes regarding them. We have to see.
For now as a test to see myself I changed 9 to steel plots and planted some random flowers here and there. I can’t see any dying plants right away.

Hello RexXxuS,
Thank you very much for answer!All I have to do is experiment.Unfortunately, I’m in the beginning and the resources are at the limit :slight_smile: .I have not studied much of the game mechanics,but it seems like on each playfield are difference.A faction colleague have a base at one km from my base and identical from a constructive point of view( stone blocks,stone growing plots,one light for nine plants) and never had this problem.But his base is much bigger than mine and the gardens are placed somewhere in the middle.I decided to move the base to another position, listen to your advice and double the walls.I’ll keep you up to date with the results.
Thank you very much

Hello,
I moved the base in another place,I change the growing plots and from yesterday by now,all are perfectly.I think that can close the topic.
Thank you for help.
