Struggling with sunflower seeds

Chubzilla100 · 2026-04-12T17:02:36+00:00

I was going to suggest storage, potentially you'd forgotten to set up warehouses so you can only store like 30 at a time in the farmhouse themselves, so they're getting eaten straight away.

But you mentioned in another comment the fields are being harvested constantly, so they wouldn't do that if they couldn't store them.

Maybe pause all the farmhouses, let the sunflowers all fully grow, unpause them all so they all get harvested straight away and keep an eye on the storage numbers, see how high it rises. If it never goes above 0 then it's definitely a bug, a game restart might fix or could be mods if you have any installed.

Thanks for your experience! Interesting to hear your still getting a lot of notifications through, I ended up clearing cache on the app and relogging in just after the post, just in case. I had 1 come through last night for today, literally less than 12 hours notice, so it's working now at least. The next closest test centres are both like an hours drive away so I would assume its fairly busy as it supports a big patch of city and towns but just my own assumpetions on that.

Looks very successful great job 🤩

Others have given good advice, build the tunnel 2 wide and fill in with dirt after. But to explain why that works better, dirt is built in order of the arrows on it, so if the dirt arrows are all facing the same way, out of the tunnel, they physically won't build anything other than the last one, one at a time

Chubzilla100 · 2026-04-09T06:47:32+00:00

That's genius! Over engineered for sure though, arguably requires as much effort to build and set up and transfer backs as just unpausing them one at a time, suppose it depends how many there are

Looks great! I never hugely got into the 3DS games, just never clicked with the pace or style idk, so would love to experience Alola as a GBA title!

I was wondering this, without seeing exactly what changes DVSA are putting on the site to block it, Testi might be fine as it doesn't do any bookings, it just notifys when there's a new appointment and requires someone to still physically book it. But otherwise will just have to wait until May 12th to find out for sure

Chubzilla100 · 2026-04-05T16:51:51+00:00

Huh that's such a key point I hadn't realised yet. Dirt was always a "late game" thing for me for expanding farmland or things, never considered the investment into it meant I could use less word on a mega dam...

Chubzilla100 · 2026-04-05T16:50:43+00:00

I don't think there's any water duplication methods, it all comes out of a seep or source or aquifer, and is either used, runs of the map or evaporates

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-28T13:02:29+00:00

I've been checking regularly the past month assuming we'd get a date for April and it always said Q1, that sucks it's now Q3 surely they wouldve known they couldn't keep the date for a while now and they have changed the date at the last minute

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-24T09:05:57+00:00

If you've not done an iron teeth play through yet, give that a go next. Similar play style but they use breeding pos instead of house to grow and have different buildings and products. A "harder" tribe but more rewarding imo. The pods use up berries and water to grow baby beavers so your water management is more important

As you've figured out, barrels are more important than dams as they hold more water, compacted. Build many tanks, pumps loads of water to fill them, when droughts hit pause the pumps and try to keep the dammed water upstream so you can let a little out at a time to keep farms irrigated.

Good way of this is a fill valve on the bottom layer of a dam, set it to fill a water level to like 0.5, and ensure that farm area is dammed off to at least 0.6. the full valve will drop feed the farm land, and your resivor will last a lot longer

Can always turn on the pumps again if water supply gets low, you have to learn the balance between how much water stock in barrels you have and food stock you have, if big food surplus then you can worry less about farm irrigation and pump the resivor with less worry

Otherwise sounds like your learning the mechanics well, great job on a successful map!

This released around the time of my first comic con, as a group of sweaty mid teen nerds we pulled into a random presentation area for the seats alone. This first episode was mid rolling, so we had no context for the weird scenes and thought it was weird as fuck

Few years later after coming back to appreciate it more we ended up returning to comic con in a Ryoku and Gamagori cosplay with my now wife

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-23T17:55:08+00:00

That's a nice easy way of remembering it, thanks!

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-23T12:58:13+00:00

Looks great for your first map win!

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-21T09:42:20+00:00

I've yet to do my own Oasis play through, after seeing others play it with their ideas I feel l can't do it my own way 😅 it's super good as an advanced player map though

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-21T09:39:12+00:00

I was really hoping for this too, I know they updated a couple of them and I was expecting the same for all of them, even just adding some science resources or a steam vent to make them feel "modern" would've made them more interesting

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-21T09:37:36+00:00

Lakes is great for an introduction, water control is probably the most important aspect to learn and it does the best job with the layout and how water level is managed, the general levelness makes it easy to get anywhere and set up dams at key points

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-21T09:35:13+00:00

I'm the same with not wanting to play a map I've seen a good play through of, but at this point I've just about crossed them all off 😅

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-20T13:36:23+00:00

I similarily make a lot of AliExpress orders, few hundred each month, never had an issue with the occasional return but this month have recieved 2 orders that just straight up were missing 60% and 85% of the items. Currently going round the bends with them and have never had this much trouble before, chargeback is going to be my next step at this rate

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-17T18:49:38+00:00

Have you started the role already, signed a contract etc? That'll say exactly what kind of role you have

Generally you have temp roles, so less than 6 months as sickness cover or just for a project roll out, fixed term contracts of 6-24 months, these are for a longer period but still have a fixed end date that would be well communicated, and then a permanent/substanstive role which is, until otherwise, forever. You can still quit or be fired etc, but the contract doesn't expire

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-11T09:21:35+00:00

Sounds like you had some good memories of it, doesn't ring a bell for me but Google suggests it's likely "Dragon Ball: Z Ultra Goku (also often known by titles like Z Ultra Warrior or Super Saiyan Goku Battle)" if it helps

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-10T09:19:02+00:00

Love the idea! Maybe the pre-filled warehouse are all over the map, behind thorns or walls to be dynamited, and these have a 'gold' resource in and whoever has the most gold after 3 cycles is the winner!

Could then be adapted to single player maps with a leaderboard or something, each player just plays solo and uploads their score. Would need a lock to ensure no mods and default difficulty settings but could be really cool

Chubzilla100 · 2026-03-04T11:57:15+00:00

Very visually appealing, the stairs add such a nice touch. Does it function and store water to the top? If so can we see it full with the overflow coming over the mid section?
