Queestion.. Do crops spawn in the same place year on year?

7 posts in this topic

So last year I found some jute (yay!) - it was over 2k south of my base, a long perilous journey.

It was enough for just a single piece of rope.

 

I just went back the next year, but there is no Jute to be seen, yet many other plants are about - do I have to keep searching or am I just too early in the year to see some?

It's definitely warm enough for Jute (Late Spring and 31 degrees).

 

Thing is there are a bunch of cows and horses here, but I need more rope to take them home :)

 

Added:

Hah I found 7 Jute plants about 100 blocks east of there, was I downright lucky? - I thought the spawn area was smaller than that.

Crops spawn based on temperature and rainfall conditions (each have their own criteria and chance values). Crops are also spaced apart by a minimal distance so you need to explore to find all crop types. You should get seeds so you can farm more yourself. Crops do not respawn - once you cleaned out an area, that's it.

Wild Crops

Crops spawn randomly in the wild, with each individual type spanned out over an 8x8 chunk grid.

Late spring is a bit soon to try and find plants in a matured state, you best of to wait for that until late summer or early autum.

Right it sounds like I was lucky then, being only Late Spring and just happening to find some in almost the same place as the previous year.

I guess that general area has the right conditions for Jute.

Im unsure how crop growth works in the wild, but i had a few ocasions my self finding good crops early in the year after having played the first year and thus winter having passed atleast once. So if you got jute from it and not just seeds, then yes you can consider yourself lucky i think. If the location had the proper conditions then jutes will most likely be there each year with in that 8x8 chunk grid (i think thats about 128 blocks in each direction unless i fail to understand the term chunk grid).

This is incorrect. Please make sure you are double checking your sources before posting answers on the forums.

 

From the 78.0 Changelog

  • Wild crops should now respawn every year between April and September. Wild crop world generation altered so that different crop types will be harder to find. Seeds can now only be obtained through harvesting crops.

And the Agriculture wiki page which takes the April/September and converts it to seasons for those in the southern hemisphere:

 

http://wiki.terrafirmacraft.com/Agriculture

 

Crops spawn randomly in the wild, with each individual type spanned out over an 8x8 chunk grid. This means the player will have to explore quite some distance in order to gather every single type of crop. Wild crops only generate between the seasons of Spring and Late Summer, and have a chance to regenerate during those seasons every year.

 

 

Edit: In response to the OP, the same crop should indeed spawn in generally the same place year after year. To put it simply, imagine an invisible map that is laid over the terrain, then divide this map into a grid in that the sections are 8 chunks by 8 chunks (or 128 blocks by 128 blocks). Each section has a different crop assigned to it. This is the crop that you will find initially, and the crop that will respawn in that section every year.

Ah cool.

I forget it's 8x8 chunks, quite a large area.

Thanks for clearing things up as usual!
