Hey Guys and Gals,
im trying to find out the cause and fix where the bottom half of the map, the trees no longer spawn or grow unless physically placed.

Ignore it being winter, this happened well before the season came into effect.

i also have a video of it at
https://youtu.be/YFScJNO10zg
and one before winter https://youtu.be/5607Gxns3q4

i'm not game to test anything against the DB just now because i cant seem to get the duplicate server to work, even though everythings the same (except world ID)

i was considering using the Forrestry Script at https://terratool.nyuton.net but again would prefer to test on a duplicate server before touching players data.

Using an old forest cleanup script or to high values in forest.xml often cause this problems.

[Nyuton]

please share your /data/cm_forest_maintenance.xml file.
your issue seems to be limited to certain terrain blocks, so there's probably a misconfiguration on those blocks.

Never touched the DB, was looking into that script but read with the new updates NOT to use it.

file wouldn't attach, so heres the code

Nah this is the unchanged vanilla file. Should be working fine. And I'll assume you didn't do any crazy edits to the weather config or the dayCycle setting.

But in the video one can clearly see that i.e. terrain 445 is not spawning the tree types it's supposed to. So the issue can only be found in the DB I think.

Maybe there´s one more bug in the forest logic besides the known one (maxage > 1000). I tried to reproduce such issues a while ago but did not succeed. But maybe with an export of your database we can track down the issue. If you don't mind, please export your DB and share with me.

Besides that, you should also send it in to helpme@lifeisfeudal.com to the official bug report mail.

thanks, i have already submitted a ticket, dont expect a quick response

PM has been sent with DB

[Nyuton]

Thanks. Will run some tests over the weekend.

[DrunkMunki]

any luck Nyuton?

[Nyuton]

Something appears to be terribly wrong in your database. I'm not even able to start the server with your DB. There is some inconsistent version numbering in the geo_patch table. I didn't have time to investigate it further yet.

[DrunkMunki]

FFS nothing is ever easy

[DrunkMunki]

So just an Update, ive decided to wipe and do a different map.
